Chapter 17 - "Welcome... To America..."

Clara's PoV

'Well thanks' I said down the phone and then hung up. I had come to Wales for the summer. It was the end of July and John was about to start filming for series 6 and I suddenly had something to do.

'What was all that about?' He asked as he was packing his case. He was taking me with him to America which I was quite looking forward too. Plus I love getting the chance to see Alex.

'I got the part John. I got the part in Romeo and Juliet. It's only like three pages but I got the part' I said and he looked at me.

'Seriously? You've got the part?' He asked confused.

'Yeah. I'm gonna be in a play' I said realising I had only auditioned but didn't have any thought that I would get the job.

'Your gonna be all famous in the theatre world' he said kissing my forehead. 'When do you start rehearsing?'

'September. It goes on for Christmas. It's only in the theatre for a month' I told him and he smiled. 'Meaning it's still possible for you to come to America?' He asked pleadingly.

'Yes. And your doing press though before in LA right?'

'Yeah. You'll go with Kaz, Arthur, Steven and the rest of the crew to Utah, while I'll stay in LA' he said. I pouted.

'It's only two days' he said.

'But it's two days in the hotel without you. That's so depressing' I pouted even still.

'There's loads you can do in a hotel, and Lilly's coming with you, because she's then heading off to her drama school in September' he said.

'You two can live the hotel dream on me' he said and I smiled. 'But that's not fair that you have to pay'

'Lilly's poor and you've just got a job so we're okay'

'You will be there opening night though won't you?' I asked biting my lip. 'Clara Oswald. I wouldn't miss it for the world' he smiled hugging me.

'Right where is he?' Steven said pacing the trailer.

'I don't know. I can't get through to his phone. He must still be in the air' I said and looked at Lilly.

'Do you know what flight number he was on? Can you give them a ring?' Steven asked. 'Isn't that your job? Your the employer' I said.

'I'm just calling in reference to flight number DL17667 from Los Angeles to Utah? Has it left or been delayed?' I asked.

'Can I ask why?'

'Yeah. There's someone on your plane who were waiting for' I said.

'It was due to leave at 8am but was delayed until 10am. It should land in Utah at 12pm' she said.

'Thanks' I muttered. '12 I clock, meaning he's not going to make it here until at least 3' I said.

'Okay. We'll have to shoot all we can without him' Steven said and clapped his hands.

'I am so sorry. Flight got delayed by two hours. I was going to ring but I wasn't sure if Clara was coming to set and Kaz wasn't answering'

'That's because we're in the middle of the desert you idiot' Clara said slapping my chest as I threw my suit on.

'Well spend time together later. I promise' he said kissing me briefly and ran out the trailer.

His trailer is where I spend a lot of time these days anyway. It's nice and cool in his trailer with the Air Con. So I'm chilling here.

'Were in a small dinner, over here. We could have built a set but we decided that we would use an authentic dinner' Steven said to them.

I went in and stood behind the camera and watched as they filmed this scene.

RIVER: 'Right then, where are we? Have we done Easter Island yet?'

DOCTOR: 'Er, yes! I've got Easter Island.'

RIVER: 'They worshipped you there. Have you seen the statues?'

DOCTOR: 'Jim the fish.'

RIVER: 'Oh! Jim the fish. How is he?'

DOCTOR: 'Still building his dam'

RORY: 'Sorry, what are you two doing?'

AMY: 'They're both time travellers, so they never meet in the right order. They're syncing their diaries. So, what's happening, then? Because you've been up to something'

DOCTOR: 'I've been running, faster than I've ever run. And I've been running my whole life. Now, it's time for me to stop. And tonight, I'm going to need you all with me'

AMY: 'Okay. We're here. What's up'

DOCTOR: 'A picnic. And then a trip. Somewhere different, somewhere brand new'

AMY: 'Where?'

DOCTOR: 'Space, 1969'

'Do you have the script? Why are you going to space?' I asked really interested. I'm like an avid follower of the show these days so as soon as he gets the scripts I want to read them.

'Spoilers' he said bopping my nose as the director called for lunch.

'Ooo. Sandwiches' he squeaked and ran to the table. I just sat in the corner desperate to spend some time with him.

'So how was the last week of school?' He asked interested. 'It was good. There was bouncy castles and burgers... So a girls dream really' I smirked.

'Hiya Clara' Alex said as she and Arthur sat down opposite us. 'Hey guys' I smiled and leant agains his shoulder as he stuffed his face with food.

'Where do you put it all?' Alex joked.

'I'm a teenage boy. Where do you think?' He complained.

I was reading lines then over lunch with him, while Karen, Rory and Alex joined in. This is by far my favourite scene so I can't wait for it to be shot.

DOCTOR: 'Mister President, that child just told you everything you need to know, but you weren't listening. Never mind, though, because the answer's yes. I'll take the case. Fellows, the guns, really? I just walked into the highest security office in the United States and parked a big blue box on the rug. Do you think you can just shoot me?'

RIVER: 'They're Americans!'

DOCTOR: 'Don't shoot. Definitely no shooting.'

RORY: 'Nobody shoot us either. Very much not in need of getting shot. Look, we've got our hands up.'

NIXON: 'Who the hell are you?'

CANTON: 'Sir, you need to stay back.'

NIXON: 'But who are they and what is that box?'

DOCTOR: 'It's a police box. Can't you read? I'm your new undercover agent on loan from Scotland Yard. Code name the Doctor. These are my top operatives, the Legs, the Nose, and Mrs Robinson.'

RIVER: 'I hate you.'

DOCTOR: 'No, you don't'.

NIXON: 'Who are you?'

DOCTOR: 'Nah, boring question. Who's phoning you? That's interesting. Because Canton Three is right. That was definitely a girl's voice, which means there's only one place in America she can be phoning from.'

CANTON: 'Where?'

CARL: 'Do not engage with the intruder, Mister Delaware.
You heard everything I heard. It's simple enough. Give me five minutes, I'll explain. On the other hand, lay a finger on me or my friends, and you'll never, ever know.'

CANTON: 'How did you get it in here? I mean, you didn't carry it in'

DOCTOR: 'Clever, eh?'

CANTON: 'Love it'

CARL: 'Do not compliment the intruder'

CANTON: 'Five minutes?'

DOCTOR: 'Five'

CARL: 'Mister President, that man is a clear and present danger to'

CANTON: 'Mister President, that man walked in here with a big blue box and three of his friends, and that's the man he walked past. One of them's worth listening to. I say we give him five minutes. See if he delivers.'

DOCTOR: 'Thanks, Canton'

CANTON: 'If he doesn't, I'll shoot him myself.'

DOCTOR: 'Not so thanks'

CARL: 'Sir, I cannot recommend'

NIXON: 'Shut up, Peterson! All right, five minutes.'

DOCTOR: 'I'm going to need a SWAT team, ready to mobilise. Street level maps covering all of Florida. A pot of coffee, twelve Jammie Dodgers and a fez.'

CANTON: 'Get him his maps.'
