Successfully chasing off some troublemakers from a woman who apparently seemed like she needed help – she came to a running stop, doubling over, breathing heavily. “Hey- did they hurt’ya?” She glanced over to the lady, before realising who she was. She stopped. Staring. Was that…
“Y’can’t be. …Clara?”
Shaken but unharmed, Clara gave the woman a Slight smile. “Yeah… yeah im Good… I-”
“Wait… Do i… Do i know you?” She frowned. “Cause you Clearly know my name…”
“I’m not afraid of ice skating, Clara!” the Doctor retorted, in a very sharp, annoyed, fashion. And it was true, he wasn’t afraid of the activity, more of the falling down and hurting himself part. “Exactly…over 2000 years old, I’m not as young as I used to be…”
And there it was, the eyes, the ones he couldn’t say no to, even if he did try, quite a bit. “Fine…but if I break anything you are nursing me back to health and trust me, I will be unbearable!”
Clara grinned. “Gotcha, and don’t worry, I’ll hold your hand… means if you go down, so will I.”
The girl held out the second pair of skates that the TARDIS had set out when she was in the wardrobe.
“The TARDIS even gave me some skates for you to use.”
“Of course it is,” he told her, smugly, as he followed her out of the TARDIS and into the thick of the snow. “I hope you know I’m not skating with you, just watching.”
He had no intention of getting in shoes with blades on them and overexerting himself on frozen water. But if Clara wanted to do that, he was more than fine with just watching.
“Aw come on. Why not? Can you not skate or something? Over 2000 years old and you still can’t skate. Or are you just scared? Face off the daleks and Cybermen, easy, slipping on the ice, probably makes you shake in your boots.” She smirked and put her skates on, before trying another way.
“I’d love it if you came on as well, make some more memories together. Pleeeaaassse.” She gave him her big puppy eyes.
The Doctor looked at her outfit choice and shook his head. He then took the jacket from her and slipped it on. “I’m a Timelord, I can handle any extreme temperature.”
He walked over to the door, once the coat was on, and pushed them both open, so Clara could get a good view of where the Doctor had brought her. “Well…?”
“Oh, Wow… It’s beautiful!” she grinned. “I think this is the best snow I’ve seen to date.” It’s been a while since she saw snow this nice.
“Come on. Let’s go skating!” Clara cheered and grabbed his hand, before stepping out.
“The TARDIS has everything, Clara,” the Doctor told her. “And bring me a jacket on your way back, it’s going to be very cold.”
The TARDIS landed and the Doctor used the monitor to look out at the planet they had landed on. It had blankets of snow cover and a mountain looking majestic in the background, not to mention tons and tons of pine trees. It was beautiful and he hoped Clara would like it.
“Right you are. One coat coming right up.” she smiled and ran off to the wardrobe to get dressed.
Clara grabbed a navy turtleneck, some warm trousers, with tights underneath, a hat, scarf, warm boots and a really warm poofy coat. Satisfied with how she looked, She grabbed the Skates that the Tardis had provided and grabbed the Doctor’s coat before returning to the console room.
“Are you going to be warm enough with just this jacket?” Clara asked him.
His smile continued, as he watched her making up her mind.
“Ice skating, really?” he asked, that was an odd request, but nothing he couldn’t Deliver. “Alright…if that’s what you want.” He hit a few buttons and pulled the lever and the TARDIS took off, to where they were heading.
The Woman beamed. This was going to be fun. She loved skating on the ice. Use to do it with her Mother before she lost her.
“Will the Tardis have skates in the Wardrobe?” she called over the noise of the time-ship in flight. She assumed they would be with the winter clothes.
@prat-central – 12 + Clara (finding out she has a fob-watch/is Susan)
Clara Beamed as the tardis materialised in the street in front of her. Quickly unlocking the door, she practically skipped into the console room.
“So where are we off to today?” She was always eager to go somewhere interesting. “Anywhere fun?”
The Doctor strolled away from the console as soon as the TARDIS landed, and came to stand by the stairs, hands in his pockets. Waiting for Clara to enter, and when she did, he grinned.
“Oh, you know, the usual, adventure, the unknown…of course it will be fun!” He walked back over to the console and looked at the monitor. “Where do you want to go?”
Clara leant slightly, sideways against the console, watching him fondly. “Ooo… All of time and space… um…” She pursed her lips in thought.
“I actually fancy going ice-skating.” she told him honestly. “It’s been a long while since I’ve been.”
