𝑫𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑬𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔 ☆ The Glorious Series ｟ BOOK 2 ｠

Closer Than You Think

A/N: Hello! 🙂

I thought this would be fun to put in. 😁 I mean, it's basically my version of the prequel to "The Bells of Saint John". 💖

Note: Sky and Jupiter are not featured in this. We won't see them until "The Bells of Saint John" actually starts. ❤️

Anyway, basically what this is, is that the Doctor and Lexi are a bit despondent that they can't seem to find Clara and Lucas. However, I believe our Couple of Time might just get some encouragement from two unlikely little sources. 😉

Enjoy! 😘

Blackpool, Lancashire, England (1993)
Outside, Park, Day...

The Doctor sat on a swing in a park as a little girl ran up to the one next to him.

"Hello." The little girl greeted.

"Hello." The Doctor gave her a small smile.

"Why are you sitting on the swing?" She asked.

"Why shouldn't I?" He questioned.

"Because you're old." The little girl giggled.

"Yeah, that's true." The Doctor chuckled. "That... that... that is very true."

With Lexi...

With her carved polymer clay journal that had a blue owl in the center of a thirteen hour clock sitting open on her lap, Lexi sat on bench a little distance from the swings of the park she and the Doctor were currently visiting. She glanced up and saw a little girl run up next to where the Doctor sat on a swing.

Lexi then looked back down to her journal in her lap, furrowing her eyebrows as she let her thoughts be consumed with what was written on the page she had it opened to.

"Hello." A voice greeted, making Lexi look up to see a little boy about 10 years old or so as he walked up to her before taking a seat on the bench next to her.

"Hello." She smiled at the little boy as she shut her journal.

"Are you okay?" He asked her.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" She questioned him, a slight smile on her face.

"You look sad." The little boy pointed out.

Lexi gave him a small smile before looking back down to her closed journal.

"Yeah. I suppose I am."

With the Doctor...

"My Mum says I shouldn't talk to strange men." The little girl told the Doctor.
