Universe 1

The Doctor bowed when the others did, he knew none of this was supposed to be happening. Last time he had been here, the plays had been much more different. He knew it was a great era of entertainment. Stuff like this normally didn't happen. He wondered why things had changed. Though it was probably something minor to the time stream, he still had to stop what was going on. He didn't like it and when ever he didn't like something, it had to stop. Though that might be the hard part. He was sure he could resist been told what to do.
Though he thought he might as well play along. He knew the lines, but he wasn't going to die.

He had wanted so badly to answer Miranda's questions. But he couldn't as their time was cut off by having to be on stage. He would do after he got a moment. For now all he could do was just go along with the play for a bit. He wondered if people of this era would even enjoy such things. He knew it must be brothering Miranda. Hell it should be bothering any normal person. He was bothered by it, but he still was acting like he wasn't, at least in front of the play crew. He needed to work on a few things, so he could stop this and also get Miranda out safely. He spoke his lines like he was being controlled by the rest of them. He was plotting, He was sure given the right moment, He would have a way out of this.

When he was able to talk to Miranda again, he looked at her " This is wrong, Its not meant to be happening, Last time I was here, this sort of thing wasn't going on." He told her, "Somebody has interfered." He narrowed his eyes. "I'm not going to let this carry on." He was hoping he could somehow break the control that they had over her. "Right reckon we have 49 minutes until we are next on, I can fight off being controlled awhile, not sure how much longer, But in that time we need to be able to stop people been controlled at least and then work on toppling the whole plan that is going on here," He was speaking to her, and making sure that nobody could hear them.

"Plays and movies are different now sure, but not like this," The Doctor was looking at her "Your not meant to die or be controlled, The system has been interrupted." He was thinking a bit. Even if he ended up hurt it was going to be worth it if he stopped this thing happening. He had used his screwdriver to their room shut for now so they couldn't be overheard and could plan. "I don't think you can resist been controlled, so sooner we can break that , it be easier." He grinned a bit and looked at her "Don't worry, I promise nothing will happen to you." He really did hope he could live up to that, considering his track record with all his other companions.

Universe 2

Clara was laying there, she was trying to fight and stay alive. But she was weak and was finding it hard. When the Doctor stated he thought she was going to live, she smiled sadly " I hope you are right then Doctor." she told him, she smiled more when the Doctor pretty much asked if she would travel with him. She really wanted to. That would depend on whether she survived or not.
"I would love too," she smiled up at him, she held onto the key. She was doing her best to have hope. Thinks seemed really bad though. There wasn't much that could be done for her, not in this time. She closed her eyes for a moment.

"Go save the world Doctor," She smiled. She knew he could, he had already proved he could do so much. That at least gave her hope. She was trying to have hope that she could save her too. When he said he was off she looked at him "I'll be waiting." She said quietly. Though she wasn't sure how true that was. Her body was shutting down, she knew that. Things seemed grim. She could see the children were afraid, she wasn't sure what she could do to comfort them. She couldn't even move much. It was upsetting to see them cry, they were upset and scared, It was their father's place now to comfort them.

"Not too late for him to do all that again," Clara told Strax. She was looking at the alien.

"Capitan Latimer, your children are afraid and upset, Go hold them." She told the man. She knew he wasn't used to doing such thing and saw it as more of a women's job. Hearing the man's response she looked in his direction. "It is now." There was tears in her own eyes. She was breathing painfully and even finding it hard to stay awake. She wondered if she would even live to see the Doctor get back. She was struggling with each minute that passed. She could feel her heart slowing and that it was getting harder to breath, she was trying to not give up but it was getting harder.

She was doing badly when the Doctor returned, she heard Strax and looked at him "Girl." She smiled slightly "I'm a girl," She was gasping weakly, even her voice sounded a bit weak. She noticed the Doctor was back, she wondered if he had finished dealing with Simeon. She smiled when the Doctor said the world was saved , she wondered if he was going back to his cloud, even if he had given her the key.
"Are you going back to your cloud?" she asked. The girl was still curious as to that, She knew she didn't have much of a chance of living right now. Without her would the Doctor go back to his cloud.
