Hide [Part 4 - FINAL]

Outside, House, Night...

Clara ran out to the TARDIS ahead of Lexi, eagerly pulling on the handles to open the door.

"Oh, come ON!" She sighed in frustration as the door wouldn't open. "Let us in, you grumpy old cow!"

There was then an electronic buzzing, making Clara and Lexi turn around as Lucas and Jupiter came out to meet them just in time to see a hologram of Clara standing there.

"Whoa!" Clara eyes widened as she looked at the copy of herself.

Inside, House, Music room...

"I was as lost as her... but being with you... you give me a reason to be, Emma. You brought me back from the dead." Alec told Emma, helping her to stand as Hila got to her feet as well.

Emma then put the wire 'crown' back on before she, Alec and Hila all joined hands, Emma closing her eyes.

Outside, House...

"What's this now?" Clara tilted her head as the image of herself flickered.

"The TARDIS Voice Visual Interface." The projection answered. "I'm programmed to select the image of a person you esteem. Of several billion such images in my databanks, this one best meets the criterion."

"Oh, you are a cow. I knew it!" Clara gasped. "Whatever." She schooled her head. "You have to help the Doctor."

"The Doctor is in the pocket universe."

"You can enter the pocket universe."

"The entropy would drain the energy from my heart. In four seconds, I'd be stranded. In ten, I'd be dead."

"Alright, this isn't a way to sweet talk the TARDIS into doing you a favor." Lexi spoke up, looking at the projection of Clara. "Idris, Sexy, sweet sweet Sexy, our Doctor needs our help. You are the only one who can get us to him even remotely safely. I know it's very dangerous for you and you shouldn't be asked to do this, but do you really wanna leave the Doctor in that pocket universe?"

After a moment. the projection sighed just before the sound of the doors opening was heard, making everyone turn towards the TARDIS.

"Thank you, old girl." Lexi grinned before rushing inside, Clara, Jupiter and Lucas following quickly behind her.

Inside, House, Parlor...

"Doctor?" Emma asked aloud as she, Alec and Hila stood, holding hands as the crystal in the wire 'crown' glowed just before the dark dish reappeared and spun around. "Can you hear me? DOCTOR?!" She shouted just before the portal opened again. "Doctor? Can you hear me?"

Outside, Woods, Pocket universe...

The Doctor ran and stopped, getting his bearings before continuing on.

Inside, TARDIS, Console room...

"Whoo!" Lexi shouted as she and Jupiter worked the controls, Clara and Lucas clinging onto the railings for dear life as the TARDIS tumbled through the vortex.

Outside, Woods, Pocket universe...

"Doctor... Doctor, we're here. Come home!" Emma's voice called from off in the distance, the Doctor heading for the house as it appeared again.

"Emma?!" The Doctor shouted back, stopping when he heard the whooshing and snarling, making him spin around nervously. "What do you want? To frighten me, I suppose, eh? Because that's what you do. You hide..." He said just before hearing an eerie laughing. "You're the bogeyman under the bed. Seeking whom you may devour. Ah! Ah. You want me to be afraid? Then well done." He chuckled bitterly just as he heard a rattling. "I am the Doctor... and I am afraid."
