“Now class, it’s time to go and get your coats and head outside for recess.” Clara Oswald states.

“Yes Ms. Oswald,” the students chant almost in unison.

The principal steps into the classroom as the children leave. “There is a man on the phone for you Ms. Oswald; he says he’s the Doctor, are you sick?” The principal asks.

Clara smiles, grabs her coat and runs out the door.

Doctor Who? Ms. Oswald come back immediately!” the principal shouts after her but it doesn’t matter because Clara was long gone.

“So nice of you to call me at work Doctor.” Clara said as she stepped into the TARDIS.

The Doctor looked up from the controls, and smiled. “Yes I should think so, my Impossible Girl.”

Ten threw open the TARDIS door to see what was going on and the Doctor looked up screaming "No!"

The bright blue laser from the ray gun went straight into Clara's chest, hitting her heart. Her skeleton flashed dark blue as she turned translucent.

Clara crumpled and fell backwards into the TARDIS.
