He wasn't the Doctor, he never was and never would be.

Johnny had lost track of how much time he'd spent here, how many years he'd been rotting away here. Granted it'd taken a while to reform, to have some semblance of stabilization. Looking like something of a deformed being didn't seem to matter though, when you were all alone on an island.

However as long he had been alone, he would know the sound of the TARDIS anywhere. So when he heard it he found himself rushing to where he'd heard it. When he saw who came out, he looked on with wide eyes.

It had been a whole century since the day Yaz, Ryan, and Graham decided to go their separate ways with the Doctor. A whole century since she’d be taken to somewhere unknown. A whole century of seeing faces come and go but only to torture her. There was no interaction aside from pure punishment and pain. All because she wanted to preserve history.

Apparently she’d messed with the wrong person, because despite the fact that Krasko couldn’t harm her, that didn’t mean he didn’t have friends. Of course they were not kind. They were cold and cruel. Perhaps the most cruelest thing was she was left alone. Bruised, battered, and left literally hanging. They’d even stripped her completely down for maximum effect.

She was strong at first, thought she would get out in no time flat. The Doctor stubbornly believed that she would survive, that she couldn’t break. Of course most of that strong will was gone. By now her companions were gone, everyone she cared about gone. What else did she have? Just herself.

The Doctor heard footsteps but was too weak to move, her body practically limp. She didn’t even look up as her now long blonde hair covered her face. Just another session to suffer through.

To say that the Doctor was surprised to see him standing there... well that would be an understatement. After the last time she saw him she was sure he was gone. So how could he be here? He couldn’t be here.

But after scanning him, she could tell he was definitely real. This made her eyes widen as she answered Yaz.

The Doctor had been planning to do something special for Clara for a while now. Plans that were not to easy to do when she had to cleverly sneak around. Couldn’t have Clara having any sort of ideas, after all.

The Doctor wanted it to be a complete surprise.

More importantly she wanted to see that smile on Clara’s face. She wanted so badly to hear the answer.

After a long day of decorating the tree, they could finally relax. But before she was going to do that she retrieved a box. Her present to Clara.

Of course she was going to wait until the next day, but she was simply too impatient. Needless to say, she wasn’t going to wait.

The Doctor was no where near happy. The Master went and got himself hurt, all because he wanted to protect her. But the thing was? She wasn’t worth protecting. Certainly wasn’t worth him getting injured for….

“You stupid idiot! I told you I wasn’t worth protecting!” She snapped out of frustration, sounding more harsh than she intended but she was too in the moment to think it over. “Now look at you! You let yourself get in this position…”

Right now she wanted nothing more than to take out the person who dared to hurt her Koschei. An effort that was far too difficult to handle, especially with her pent up emotions not helping. She reached for where she guessed his laser was and didn’t hesitate to use it once she had it. Not really thinking the decision over.

“Of course we are! Nothing like brushing up on some old dancing skills, yeah?” She couldn’t help back chuckled. Sure it wasn’t the normal thing, but they could use normal every once and a while, right?
