Chapter Text
She was now out of the TARDIS leaving the Doctor alone in the box. He had just taken one of Clara’s students on a trip throughout space, and her reaction was throwing up after opening the doors with a cool-looking nebula. He had forgotten her name but that didn’t matter, what mattered is the recent revelations he had earlier. “It’s because I love him!” The quote was repeating in his head, he was now sitting on the stairs in the TARDIS console room. His two hearts have suffered heartbreak before, especially since losing the Ponds but now it was doubled.
Clara, his Clara… she was now dating Danny and from what she said, she was in love with him. He then leaves these thoughts out as he decided to clean up the mess from earlier. He got out of the TARDIS, it was now night. Now walking the hallways, he didn’t see Clara and he suspects that she now has gone home, presumably with him. He didn’t want to say his name, as it would give him heartbreak.
He entered the room and picked up his made-up tech in tracking the monster, and cleaned the remains of it. He then returned to the TARDIS, he takes a stop before looking at the console. The TARDIS made a sound, she knew what happened to the Doctor. He then went to the main throttle before activating it, the TARDIS was now moving throughout time and space.
He was now turning around the console pressing buttons, flipping leavers, etc. The Doctor wanted to go somewhere but he has no place to think of, the TARDIS was shaking around as the Doctor continues to move around the console.
He moved around the console to the point of breaking one of the levers, resulting in the TARDIS shaking in an upright position He jumped off the platform before hanging on to the railing, and the TARDIS corrected her position. The Doctor then got himself back up the platform, now looking at one of the screens. He was in the middle of space but he was near a deserted planet where he could land the TARDIS and do some quick repairs.
He checked the damage before examining it with his sonic screwdriver, the damage looked bad on the outside but inside it was a little damaging to the stabilizers. The TARDIS can still fly and land but he still needs to do some repairs.
He then flicked some levers before using the main throttle to fly to the nearby deserted planet, he managed to land it without error. He went outside to inspect, it was a normal planet. there was no civilization but nature and life persists. He then inspected the TARDIS, it was fine on the outside.
He then started doing repairs, replacing the broken lever with a new one and making some repairs on the internal mechanism of his old girl. After a day of repairs, he did a diagnostic test and the result was positive. The TARDIS was now fixed.
His thoughts were now back to Clara since he was now in a place where no one could listen except the TARDIS. He couldn’t help but broke into tears, he lost River since he met her in his last incarnation. He finally was able to come to terms with her, but his current companion was now dating someone else. He never was able to say his feelings to Clara, when he was under the control of Mr. Clever, he said out his feelings to her and tried to make a move before being slapped by her, and after Mr. Clever lost his control over him, Clara asked to him if she was pretty before he told her she was bossy. The Doctor thought that Clara was making sure he was him.
When she asked him to be her boyfriend at her Christmas dinner, he was ecstatic before she told him that he has to be a fake boyfriend for her parents and to help her cook dinner. It has been months since Trenzalore, he was able to stay in this incarnation after being given a new regeneration cycle.
“Why didn’t I tell you??”
The Doctor ultimately decided to leave Clara, he just couldn’t stand knowing she’s in a relationship with someone he dislikes. A photo of her appeared on one of the screens presumably by the TARDIS to comfort her Doctor, he went forward and touched the photo of Clara on the screen.
“I love you, my impossible girl”
He then went downstairs to the storage area of the TARDIS, he opened it and pulled out his old tweed jacket.
He then wore off the purple frock coat he wore to impress Clara, he didn’t want to be reminded of Clara since he wore it during his entire time with her. He then placed the frock in storage and put on his tweed, he had never worn it before going 13th century Cumbria to think about who Clara was.
Even though he had worse memories with the tweed, especially the Ponds. He wore it to not only be reminded of Clara but to remind him of his past. He left the vest on as a reminder of his post-retirement.
He changed his bowtie, took out the purple bowtie he wore, and takes a dark blue bowtie from storage, he wore it and put the purple in storage.
He was now going back to the main platform, the TARDIS was making sounds. He gives a smile before pulling down two levers that made the TARDIS move.
The familiar sound of the TARDIS was now in his ears, he turned around the console to then pull down the main throttle. The TARDIS was now traveling in time and space.
