~Christmas Day~

They had each returned to each other's house after that amazing moment on the sidewalk. Both of their lives were changed forever, each of them felt closer than ever before to the other. Danny Pink had decided to propose to young Clara Oswald on Christmas Day, which was today. 'I hope she accepts,' Danny thought nervously as he bought the sparkling diamond ring

Clara was busy running around her kitchen collecting ingredients for the souffles that they were going to make. The other person in Clara's mind was of course Danny Pink, his handsome face and bright eyes. Their kiss had made everything, absolutely everything much more complicated. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"OH!" Clara rushed out of the kitchen to the front door and opened it. There stood Danny, grinning nervously, dressed in his best suit and tie.

"Hey, Clara," he smiled and stepped inside. Clara blushed and vaguely wished that she had put on a better dress, but looking at the clock, which read 2:20pm, Clara put the issue of dressing out of her mind and led Danny to the kitchen.

 *3:00pm*

"Ok, ok, just give me 2 more minutes!!" Clara yelled. She had made, with Danny's help, a chocolate souffle, which needed just a few more minutes until it's done. The doorbell rang.

"He's here!" Danny yelled back into the kitchen and opened the door, where the Doctor stood, grinning.

"Where's Clara, eh? I hope she made a souffle, did she make a souffle? I can't wait! Oh, hi Danny!" the Doctor said this all very fast, stepped around Danny and hopped jollily to the kitchen.

"Clara?"

"Oh, hey!" Clara rushed out of the kitchen, holding the baking tray, which had was covered. Danny waved at Clara from behind the Doctor and mouthed, 'Is it ok?'

"I haven't seen it yet!" Clara yelled, very loudly, so that Danny could hear. The Doctor looked at her strangely. "Um...living room?" he asked. Clara gave him a nod and walked into the living room with baking tray. The Doctor and Danny followed, excited and nervous at the same time.

Clara took a deep breath, set the baking tray on the table, and took off the cover. Everyone gasped.

The souffle was perfect.
