Un-Civil War (Clara/11)

President Abraham Lincoln stood in the oval office that was currently being lit by candles. It was at the height of the Civil War, a war that was only supposed to take a year tops. Instead it has taken far longer than that despite the North's superior manpower. That didn't seem to help when the Generals didn't seem to know what to do with those men. That is something the South did not have that problem they had great Generals.

Lincoln was brought of his thoughts by the sound of cannon fire from the south. Ah..they are getting too close again I suppose.. he thought as he watched the explosions happening in the night. He felt bad for these humans...they were fighting for something he had started and what they didn't know..he was not human.

He sighed softly before walking away from the window, hearing the cannon fire start to die off. He really needed to get some sleep...or maybe just get away from all this awhile. He thought that was a good idea...just disappear for a few days or a week. He walked out of the office going to find a person to get his carriage ready.

The Doctor strode around the console flipping switches, he was late...well he is never later but he felt late. It was Wednesday the day that he normal took Clara away from teaching for an adventure. He was usually there by now, he brought his wrist up and looked at his watch, yup late. He was of course a time traveler so he would always be on time for Clara, he smiled thinking of her..his Impossible Girl. He always enjoyed his time with her, and sometimes he wished it could be more time but they had made it so it was just Wednesday.

The engines on the TARDIS thumped to a stop. He smiled he was at her house just outside just like he normally was waiting for her to come out. He reached inside of his pocket and pulled out the reading glasses that he had taken from Amelia Pond, he grabbed a book from off the console..he had been reading up on some American History. He had been there for most of it but the one time that he hadn't was during the Civil War. This particular book was about President Abraham Lincoln.

The Doctor held the book close to him as he hummed and walked out of the TARDIS closing the door behind him. He leaned on the side of the TARDIS and started reading and waited for Clara to come out to meet him.

The Doctor looked at Clara in somewhat confusion as she asked where he had been and that she had been calling him. He didn't remember his phone ringing at all, and to him it was just last week that he had saw her. He backed up slightly his back hitting the TARDIS.

"Uh..No? I just saw you last week! I swear..wait..if it hasn't been a week how long has it been?" The Doctor asked slightly afraid of the answer. He quickly looked at his watch, to see that it was correct..at least to him.
