"Hey could you do a whoffaldi with a theme park day on a different planet? i would love a fic of that, short or long please :)"
"I can't believe I agreed to this" The Doctor mumbled in distaste at the sight of hundreds of people wandering towards the grand entrance to Amusox 6, the best theme park in the galaxy, or so the slogan promised.
Clara was amongst the people, almost skipping towards the entrance, the Doctor could hear her giggles faintly, which reminded him why he agreed to taking her to this planet, because she asked; and he could never deny her anything.
As if hearing his thoughts, Clara stopped and swirled around, a large grin on her face as he saw the Doctor slightly frowning at her, walking up to her.
"Cheer up misery guts! This is going to be so much fun, when was the last time you've let yourself a day off and actually had fun like this?" Clara linked arms with him and pulled him towards the ticket stand.
"Never, and I never intended to have 'fun like this'" He used air points to emphasise his sarcasm towards this.
"Yeah, well, there's a first for anything. You better cheer up or I'm going to ditch you and find another tour guide for this trip, hopefully a nice, good looking ma-" Clara couldn't finish her teasing before the Doctor unlinked their arms, grabbed her hand and dragged her quickly into the theme park with a flash of his physic paper that meant he was some important visitor meaning free entry.
Clara giggled and smiled as they walked around the theme park, the different sections all different coloured and with many different rides. Clara didn't quiet understand half the themes, being a human from the 21st century, but she put it past her and tried to decide which ride first. Which so happened to be the tallest and most popular roller coaster in the park. Yanking the Doctor's hand towards it, she looked up and saw the colour slowly drain from his face as he saw what her goal was.
"No Clara, no, no, no and no. I am not going on that thing, it's stupid and idiotic and not worth our time" He babbled, trying desperately to get out of tough clasp.
"I thought you were afraid of nothing!" She shouted due to the loud roar of the rollercoaster rushing past them just before the queue line started.
"Who said that? I'm afraid of several things! And who says I'm afraid of that thing?" He pointed towards the rollercoaster, his face still pale.
"So if you're not afraid, then you'll be okay to take me on it then, especially as we can skip the lines" Clara teased, biting her lip slightly with a grin.
"I- I don't want to" He promptly let go of her hand and crossed his arms, much like a chid who can't get their way.
"Fine, I'll go single riders then" Clara's smile dropped and she walked towards the other queue line, she didn't get to go in before the Doctor slipped his hand into hers and led her to the special line that meant getting on the ride faster.
She smiled broadly at him and reached up to peck him cheek, making him give her a small smile, adding a slight tinge of colour to his pale face.
They were quickly seated on the front row seats, pulling the heavy straps down on their chest. Clara leant forward to check on the Doctor, his eyes seemed to be shut and his knuckled turning white on how hard he was gripping to his harness. Clara sneaked a hand over and brushed his hands with hers making him open his eyes and give her a small yet quick smile before leaning back again, preparing himself.
Clara had never in her life heard a grown man shout and scream as much as the Doctor did in less than a minute as the rollercoaster did several loops and sudden drops. She wasn't able to scream as she was too busy laughing and trying not to wet herself because of the sounds coming from the Doctor.
It took the Doctor a few seconds to take in his surroundings as the ride came to a stop and the safety harness was lifted of his heaving chest. Clara tapped his chest, grabbing his arm and making him get up and off with her. She continued holding onto his arm as his head was still spinning and he hadn't spoken yet.
"Can we do that again?" The Doctor asked her quietly after a minute of walking away from the ride.
"Are you serious?" Clara laughed making him smile broadly at her.
"Yeah, I actually quite enjoyed that, even though I did pass out for a second or two and my voice is unbelievably sore, but I'm sure I have something for that in the TARDIS" He pondered before breathing in sharply and grabbed her hand, leading her back to the queue line.
They rode it twice more before Clara was the one to stop anymore times as the pounding in her head began to increase. And she needed to go toilet before going on further to explore other rides.
Clara came back to the Doctor at a kiosk stool, putting something in his bigger on the inside pockets before searching around and spotting her, smiling as he walked back to her.
"What did you get?" She asked curiously.
"What? Oh, nothing, come on Miss Oswald, we've got some rides to do" He grinned before taking her hand and walking on further.
They went on several other rides that day, stopping briefly for some lunch that Clara didn't recognise the favouring of but ate it already, screaming all day really works the appetite up. They laughed and chatted their way around the park until it was nearing closing hours and they had only one ride left to do, the ferris wheel.
They got a pod to themselves, and the Doctor began pointing in different directions and explaining to Clara about the different star systems and how this plane came to being made. Then he reached into his pocket and retrieved an A4 photo he clearly brought earlier and passed it to Clara.
The picture was them two on the roller coaster. Clara had her head slightly back as she was laughing, her pearly white teeth showing and her hair blown back, Clara had to admit it wasn't a bad picture of her. The Doctor on the other hand was not looking forward but rather looking at her, a large grin plastered on his face and the faint dimples showing on the side of his face, he jaw line sharp and pointing towards her. His curly locks blowing in the wind as he laughed at Clara.
Clara couldn't help but sigh contently as she examined the picture, this was going to be one of her favourites of them.
"Thank you Doctor. This day has been so much fun and it was great to have a fun day together without it being interrupted by aliens wanting us dead or to take over the planet" She sighed, smiling at him.
"I brought two, so you can keep that one and I can have a copy too" He said, his eyes looking over at the view in front of him.
She leant over and kissed the corner of his mouth slightly, making him turn and smile down at her. She slowly took his hand and scooted closer to him, learning her body on him and her head on his shoulder.
They stayed in a comforting silence as the ferris wheel continued slowly moving upwards then finally descending back to ground level. They were about to leave the park before a large explosion made the Doctor grab Clara's shoulders and shove her to the floor with him on top of her, a simple reaction.
He quickly looked over his shoulder to see a large spaceship hovering over the large rollercoaster, blaring out demands at the frightened people below. Grabbing Clara's arm and dragging her up, a smile reached his face.
"What was that about having a day with no alien invasions?" He laughed as Clara started smiling too.
They mutually grabbed each other's hand and ran towards the spaceship, because that's what The Doctor and Clara Oswald do. Laugh in the face of danger.
