Summary: Have anyone ever disappeared into the TARDIS never to be found again?

My first ever entry here. Sparked by my husband who asked the same question as Clara when he first started watching Doctor Who.


“Have any of your companions ever disappeared into the TARDIS?” Clara asked one day when there wasn’t any pressing adventures to be had and they had spent most of the day tinkering with the console, if you were the Doctor and drinking tea, if you happened to be Clara.

“The Doctor looked up from his wires, his eyebrows snapping together in irritation. “What?”

“I mean, she is pretty vast. Anyone ever wandered off, never to be seen again? I mean, she did use to hide my bedroom. All. The. Time.”

“Don’t be silly, that was just one of her little jokes. Of course I haven’t mis-placed a companion. I would have noticed. I think I would, anyway.”

Clara wandered off for more tea and the Doctor returned to his work, he wasn’t quite sure which wire who went were, when she spoke over his shoulder and made him drop his sonic screw-driver in a whole nest of wires, probably disturbing them when they were busy making new little wires to confuse you with.

“Stowaways then? She’s so big, you could probably have a whole tribe of something living here and you would never notice. Like the Ooompa-Loompa’s in the chocolate factory.”

“Clara, please! I have not little orange aliens running around singing silly songs here. Or anyone else. Why would there be?”

“Perhaps she would like the company.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. She has me. And you sometimes. You know she only hide rooms as a gesture of affection. Happens to me all the time. Now let me finish this in peace!”

“If you say so, Doctor.”

But some time later, when Clara had left, the Doctor wandered through the many long and winding corridors of the TARDIS. He found a couple of rooms he had never seen before and a little garden full of arches where water flowed and trickled from in a rather soothing manner. He saw no one, because he was all alone on his ship, but still, there were moments when he thought he could hear laughter. But then, of course, he had always had a very vivid imagination.

This is funny and charming--very well done as a first story! You got down the Twelfth Doctor's and Clara's dialogue rather well, and it was cool seeing what the TARDIS team gets up to while just chilling out. (By the way, there's a Big Finish audio called "No Place Like Home" that deals with similar ideas. Check it out!)

Thank you so much! Though it's not my first story ever, just my first for a contest. :)

I have to check out the audio, thank you for the tip!

This was a really funny piece, I loved your dialogue and light-hearted tone, your characterization of Twelve and his tinkering with the TARDIS, and Clara's questions—and the ending was quite beautifully described, with both the lovely, peaceful place and the air of mystery :) It felt quite magical. Well done!

Just two little typos I spotted: "which wire who went where" and "as a gesture of affections".

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

And thanks, I will correct that. I'm not a native speaker of English so I try to read through my fix, but something always seem to slip. :)
