Chapter 5 - "Cardiff..."

Jenna's PoV

I was really being quite impatient. 'Jenna would you please stay still. That constant jumping up and down of your knee is driving me mad' Lilly complained.

'Im sorry I'm just so impatient. I really want to see him' I said.

'We'll be there soon. Just stay still' she said smiling comfortingly.

We arrived at Cardiff station and I really wanted to get out but there was checks and making sure we had tickets and stuff.

When we got out, we stood outside the station for a moment until Richard pointed out Matt.

I could see his big old goofy grin from a mile off. 'Oh my God Jenna' he said bouncing towards me and ran straight past Richard.

'Dude I'm insulted' Richard smirked.

'Jenna's more important' John mumbled snidely sniffing my hair. I felt it though and thought it was a bit weird, but he smelt different.

'Matt, are you aware that you smell like sick?' I asked covering my nose and pulling back.

'Ah. You noticed that then?' He said nervously. 'Me and Karen just shot a scene for episode 2 where we had to be covered in gunk'

'And you didn't think to shower? Dude that's pitiful' Richard scoffed disgusted at Matt's personal hygiene.

'I did shower actually but gunk doesn't come off easily'

'Doesn't matter, where's your flat?' I asked and he led us towards a car. 'You can't drive' I said confused.

'I'm working on it actually, but I won't be driving' he said opening the door to the black car.

It was all very posh. Someone driving him around? I wondered how on earth he managed to get someone to pick us up from the station.

'Lilly, Richard this is Karen. Your staying in her spare room' he told them.

'Oh cool. Nice to meet ya' Lilly said as they went in to get to know each other a little bit more seeing as they'll be sharing a house for a few days.

'Your staying in my spare room... If you want'

'Yeah that sounds cool' I said nervously as we went towards his flat. 'Oh wow. It's kind of cutely tidy' I said analysing the place.

'It's you that made me keep the place tidy. You've rubbed off on me' he laughed.

'Well good' I smirked and went to his spare room.

'Sorry but I've got a read through for episode 6 tonight but I'll be back later' he said to me.

'It's cool. It'll give me a chance to sleep' I said pretending to be okay about this but I just wanted to spend time with my best friend.

'I know it's not ideal, but I'm not filming on Wednesday so we'll have the whole day to go out. There's a really cool museum up the road. I thought we could go there?'

I nodded smiling. 'Go. You don't want to be late' I said. He threw a silver key at me and I caught it. 'What's this for?'

'In case you go out. You'll need to get back in' he said making a good point. 'Just don't give the key to Richard. Who knows what he'll do with it' he said and I shivered at the thought.

Then he was gone.

I wandered around the spare room which had a double bed and a wardrobe. There wasn't much else in it but it is only a spare room.

Then I figured he was going to be gone for a few hours so went to his room. I was just curious to see what was in there.

He had painted the walls blue, and also had white bed sheets, but there was Stars painted on the ceiling just like his room at home and his telescope, so he hasn't changed that much.

Then I spotted some paperwork on the bedside cabinet. I knew what it was. It was the current script. He said he's just started filling episode 2... So it had to be that one.

"The Beast Below" sounds interesting.

I flicked through it knowing I probably shouldn't have been but was curious.

I sat at the side of his bed and flicked his telly on, then ended up curling up and fell asleep.

'So how long have you and Jenna known each other?' Karen asked Matt.

'Since we were about 9. But we weren't best friends until I kicked her in the face with a football when we were 12... So about 5 years'

'And she's special to you then?'

'How so?'

'Well the way you talk about her and look at her. You clearly like her more than your letting on'

'Look. It would be complicated, I can't bring her into that'

'Acting is' Karen sighed. 'But it's worth it' she then said as I unlocked the door. 'See you on set in the morning' she waved as Matt went in.

'Jenna?' Matt called and wandered to her bedroom. He knocked on the door assuming she was in there but she didn't answer so he opened the door a jar but it was empty.

Jesus? Where could she have disappeared too?

He wandered to his room to sling some stuff in there and found her curled up on his bed with the TV on.

He should have been mad but if anything all he could think about was how adorable and cute she looked asleep.

He switched the telly off and threw a blanket over her from the cupboard. He could have woken her up and moved her but that would be cruel. So he grabbed his script and went to run lines in hen as room, which was where he fell asleep.

- - -

Matt was up early Monday morning knowing he had to be on set at 10, so started cooking some bacon.

'Morning' Matt smiled as she stumbled awkwardly out of his room.

'I fell asleep?'

'Yeah. Don't know when though. You were asleep when I got home'

'Why didn't you wake me?'

'Because you looked comfortable'

'Thanks. Sorry I shouldn't have been snooping' she said mortified.

'I know you read the script. Just don't tell anyone and we won't have a problem' Matt said. He trusted her so it doesn't bother him too much.

'Sorry. My curiosity got the better of me' she blushed.

'Doesn't matter. Still wanna come and see the Tardis?' I asked. She nodded excitedly and ate the bacon roll I handed her.

'Morning Steven' Matt smiled as they entered the BBC studios.

'You must be the famous Jenna, Matt keeps raving on about' Steven said and shook her hand.

'That's me. I hope he hasn't been telling you any embarrassing stories because I've got one or two' she smirked.

'No' Matt responded quickly.

'Before we go any further you need to know that everything that goes on in here is complete secrecy' he said and Matt rolled his eyes.

'Like I haven't already told her'

'Make up Mr Smith' Steven pointed so he took Jenna's wrist and she followed.

'So he's your boss? He's really nice'

'Moffat. Yeah he's a cool dude' he agreed and sat down.

'How much make up do they put on you to hide the wrinkles then?'

'None. It's for effect' he stropped.

'That's just what they tell you' she smirked and put his tweed jacket on.

'It's a bit big on you don't you think?'

'Maybe' she smiled but reached in the pocket.

'How did you know that would be in there?' He asked.

'I've read the script remember?' She smiled and analysed herself in the mirror with his jacket on and played with sonic screwdriver.

'Id be a great Doctor' she said as she soniced him. 'Yeah you and the killer make up' he smiled and took the jacket back.

'You know it's different seeing you in front of me wearing the jacket' she smiled and straightened his bow tie.

'John Smith and Karen Gillan Stage 4 Tardis set' the overhead speaker announced.

'Wouldn't want to be late'

'Wow. This is just amazing' she smiled like a child.

'Yeah that was exactly my reaction'

'Yeah but you get to work on here all the time'

'I've only filmed in here once' he said and she stood behind the cameras as we prepared for the scene.

'Action'

'Sorry, what?' Karen said in her nightgown. It was quite funny seeing her in a nightgown.

'Well, it's always a big day tomorrow. We've got a time machine. I skip the little ones' Matt said and jumped to flick a few switches. It seemed appropriate.

'You know what I said about getting back for tomorrow morning? Have you ever run away from something because you were scared, or not ready, or just, just because you could?'

'Once, a long time ago.' He said sadly knowing what it meant.

The scripts are easy to follow because all the stage directions are literally in front of you.

'What happened?'

'Hello.'

'Cut' Steven called and I jumped off the set. 'What do you think?' Matt asked looking for Jenna's opinion.

'Well I need to know what she's running away from?' She said dramatically.

'Even I don't know that yet Coleman' he smirked and ran to get some lunch.

- - -

'So this museum? Is it a space one?' She asked.

'Yeah. It does all sorts of cool things. The best bit is the telescope' he said leading her through.

'You were so born to play the Doctor' she mumbled smirking.

They went up stairs to the observatory and stood by the telescope.

'Show me some stars' She smiled so he did. He always had loved physics and the planets in the sky.

They amaze him, and he would love to travel in to space one day. Not that it's possible but it's nice to dream.

'I'm hungry' she said as they headed towards the door.

'Only you Coleman. Only you'
