*"Liking" is such a human term.*

Who doesn't like you?

It's a little; no, it's very complicated. It's my friend's car, and I swear she doesn't like me. [ She smiled. ] I know this makes me sound like a total nutter.

[ Clara almost jumped out of her skin when she heard someone talk. She had been alone in her room, and she whipped around on the heels of her feet. ] Who said that?

What makes ya say that?

Your friends...car.

[ Clara wasn't sure how to go about this. She was sure telling someone that she traveled in a time machine was crazy. ] Yes, I can swear she doesn't want to do normal car things. [ She smiled again. ] Like opening the door.

Clara was seated at the navigation controls of Serenity; she had just arrived along with The Doctor. She was almost happy the TARDIS might have been left behind. "The computers, normally they work very well with me, but this one is being a bit stubborn."

I'm pretty sure cars can't decide when to open doors or not.

Told you that it sounded a bit mad. He can open the door without a problem, but there I am struggling to get the key into the door.

[She raises her eyebrow] I don't think you can blame the car for that.

"Serenity ain't stubborn, ya just got t'get t'know her. My girl may not be all fancy but she's the best." Kaylee smiled and patted a console affectionately. "Or there may be a Harper in there talkin' to her, which the solution is pretty easy t'fix." She realised then the conversation. "Who are ya an' what are ya tryin' t'do anyway?"

Told you it sounded a bit strange. Maybe I'm just not a good match with cars of any sort.

Yeah...[Okay then...]

"She's fancy when you're still getting used to having to live on a sentient spaceship. Well she's fancy when you normally didn't live in a spaceship to begin with." Clara seemed frustrated that she couldn't get in there to thumb through the Cortex, and take a poke at this 'Alliance' thing.

Maybe they were just had one up on Clara? "Or, it could be these people being a bit more cryptic than they should be."

Computers and kids on the other hand... [ She's doing her best to avoid the entire spaceship thing. ] I understand.

Can't say I know much about them. More than I need to know anyway.

Cars? Or is there something else that you're hinting at?

[If she had eyes to roll, she would.]

*I said nothing. However, you did hear me.*

[ Clara did not look amused in the slightest. ] Of course I did, somehow you decided to find your voice. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove by this. [ She had hoped he was being weird and this was nothing more than a trick he was playing on her. She placed her hands on her hips, and she turned around to look at the stonewalls of her room. ] I don't exactly find this to be funny. It's a bit creepy if you ask me.

Computers and kids.

I didn't either until they came more by chance and fate. I was technical support's worst nightmare, and I offered to help a friend with his two children as a nanny.

"I didn't before Serenity." A chance she wasn't going to have let her go by.

"You tryin' t'get on the cortex?" Kaylee wondered then what exactly she would be looking for and if she was just some new folk or someone looking for things that they shouldn't be on Serenity. She still worried about Simon and River.

That was kind of you.

"Mmm, good point. Still you're far more used to living on one than I am. Well, I lived on a spaceship up until I ended up here." Clara continued to tap at the screen with a determined look on her face.

She shook her head. "Nope. I'm trying to bypass the firewall into this. The Alliance Research facilities. The thing is a bit of a bugger with letting me in, but I don't want to overstay my welcome." She had promised The Doctor she would help with trying to locate the TARDIS, and it was a good escape for her to keep her mind off home. "Getting into the Cortex was easy."

She leaned over to reach for a plastic stegosaurus, and she held the plastic dinosaur up. "So easy, that even a pea brain like I could do it." She said in a mock growly voice, one that she would of used while playing with her friend's children.

I couldn't let him or his children down. They both needed someone in their time of need.

[There is a shimmer of a sound that might be a giggle.]

*It is not my pilot. And I have no voice, other than the one that exists in your mind.*

[But this is how she communicates with everyone, so why would it be 'creepy.']

You're not exactly reassuring. [ Clare frowned, and she had wondered if this was revenge for leaving a damp towel on the floor. ] Well, I didn't exactly invite you into my mind, Xavier.

And now?

[Confused, TARDIS is confused.]

*Xavier? And you did invite me in, when you boarded me*

[ There would be a feeling of having a cheap victory if she knew. ] Xavier's a bloke from a comic book; he's a very smart telepathic human. [ She snorted. ] I didn't exactly know this would be a thing. Well, besides the thing about being able to speak perfect Russian.

I still help; I wouldn't just up and leave them. The kids have grown rather attached to me, and I've made a bit of a commitment.

You're lucky they feel that way then.

*Accessing memory banks. Stand by.

From the Marvel Comics. X-Men series. I see.**

[She does not get it, though.]

*You would not be able to speak perfect Russian were it not for the link.*

I suppose. Nevertheless, I'm very sure that you don't like me for some strange reason.

*I always have a reason. It is rarely strange.*

[ Clara started to pace around in her room. ] Rarely strange, I would call you talking away in my head a bit strange. No, in fact, I would call both of how the two of you see me as VERY strange.

*That is because you are strange. You're an anomaly. The impossible girl.*

[Though that ginger one was impossible too, why does this doctor always attract these types that are draining on the TARDIS to be near?]

Edited 2013-05-19 02:58 (UTC)

[ Clara stopped pacing, and she tossed her hands up into the air. ] Oi! There's no need to keep calling me impossible, and if anyone can call me that, it is him!

[The TARDIS just laughs in reply.]

*I am a great deal more powerful than the Doctor where time-lines are concerned.*

[When she says something is impossible, it's properly impossible.]

[ Clara rolled her eyes. ] You're competing with him when it comes to ego. [ She was frustrated with being considered impossible. ]

[The Old Girl is confused now.]

*Is it competing when it is a statement of fact?*

[She's pretty sure even the Doctor would agree with here on this point.]

[ Clara feels like the odd girl out, and having everything revolve around her was rather discomforting. She tried to hide this fact, and at least she had some comfort in knowing that she was able to live somewhat of a normal life with both Artie and Angie. ]

Normally, I see this type of thing when Angie tries to prove she's smarter and better than her brother is. While she's older than he is, it doesn't mean that she's always the smarter of the two. Like I said, ego.

Do not compare me to humans....

[She is nothing like them.]

...Nor Time Lords. We are our own beings.

Well I don't have anything else to compare you to! My experience with aliens isn't exactly a broad one.

*That is hardly a fault of mine.*

[ She rolled her eyes again, and she wandered over towards her bed. She looked behind her to make sure it would still be there when she sat herself down on it. ] I'm sorrry, that we humans are limited in what we know about alien life. There's only so much that Star Trek can do to help fill in the gaps.

*Apology accepted.*

[But the tone contained the sarcasm that hers had.]

Great, I'm inside of a sarcastic spaceship.

Sorry had to wait until I saw this week's show. No spoilers, though.

I need to rewatch it. :) I'm just happy it didn't kill my voice for Clara. She's fun!

:) I'm just angry that Moff AGAIN blew up the TARDIS, WTF, Moff?

There was that. I just hope they don't change the interrior again. I like that one alot. :)

I don't think they will. The interior was the same in the graveyard

I have some new Big Finish stuff to listen to. 4th Doc Adventures and a new one for Five.

XD

The Fourth Doc Adventures are good. The second season has Mary Tamm's Romana and the first is Leela.

I think I heard the one with Leela - if it's the one that came out in Nov.

It had Crispy!Master... That might be it.

Nope. Different one, then

The Gallifrey Chronicles or was it Eight's?

Nope, it was a Four/Leela story

Companion Chronicles Maybe
