Beginnings of 2020 - Doctor Who - Chasing Time

Doctor Who – Chasing Time
Clara Oswald was ready to go home. She had had several adventures with the Doctor since he had picked her up from the Maitlands’. She entered the Console Room. “Are we almost there?” she asked.

“We are,” the Doctor said, confidently. The TARDIS then came to a halt. “We’re there.”


Clara exited the TARDIS find that she wasn’t where she expected to be. “Doctor!”

The Doctor emerged from the TARDIS and looked at the house which had a façade which was a mirror image of the one which the Maitlands resided in. “Let me check,” he said.

Clara followed him back into the TARDIS. “Where are we?”

“Somewhere in Birmingham, about a month early,” the Doctor said as he looked at the scanner.

“A month? That’s a lot of time to spend on the Slow Path,” Clara considered.

“Too long,” the Doctor said. “But we may be here for a reason.”

“Of course,” Clara said as she used her phone to look at a news website. She found that it didn’t list anything unusual.

“Anything?”

“No,” Clara said with a sigh.

“Let’s try anyway.”


The TARDIS materialised again, across the street a day later. “Obviously we need to be here,” Clara said as she emerged and looked at the house again.

“Maybe we need to talk to whoever lives there,” the Doctor said.


Clara looked towards the setting sun before ringing the doorbell. ‘Should have done this yesterday,’ she thought.

There was no immediate response. “Maybe no one’s home,” the Doctor said. “Maybe we should go back to yesterday.”

“No. I’ll ring it again,” she said. The pressed the button.


Soon the door was opened by an older teenage girl who reminded Clara of herself at that age. ‘Blimey, do I have to jump to conclusions here?’ she wondered.

“Hello,” the girl said as she twirled the end of her ponytail. “Who are you?”

The Doctor got out the psychic paper. “Smith and Oswald Detective Agency. We’ve heard that something out of the ordinary has been happening in this neighbourhood.”

“Really?” the girl said incredulously. “I thought no one was paying attention.”
