"Romana, what's your name dear child?" asked Romana. "Child? My name is Clara, or is it Oswin?"( Clara turns round to the Doctor)"and you are asking me?" answered the Doctor looking all confused.
"Where did you put those candles Clara?" asked the Doctor as he made his way to the centre of the Tardis. "You don't need candles when you have this?(Clara holds up an object)
a beautiful music box that shone as it's melody energised the Tardis and the lights returned. "That's handy Clara, keep that with you at all times, never know when we might need that again" "Yes Doctor" Clara smiled.
"Now, why don't you go and make us some tea, eh, Clara?" asked the Doctor, "oh, and how about some of your delicious soufflées? I'm sure I remember Jo putting some milk in the stasis-fridge."
"Also remember to use the special teapot, one cube of sugar please" added The Doctor. "Saucer?"asked Clara. "Always tea cup and saucer Clara" laughed The Doctor.
"All right" said Clara, and went off to the Tardis kitchen, although she was pretty sure that the Doctor just wanted a private chin-wag with that Romana person.
"So Doctor, how have you been, busy I see (Romana walks round the Tardis stopping at the console and moving her hand along it's sleek finish) " Romana, stop that, it's new!" exclaimed the Doctor.
"What's bugging you?" she asked. "Well, for one thing, I don't know what to call you - Romana, River, Melody... any more names I don't know about? And for another thing, the way your time stream is going with respect to mine, all that time we were together when I had curly dark hair and a really long..." - Romana smirked - "scarf, you knew what was going to have will happened!* I even fancied you - damn it all, I nearly felt like marrying you when you were blonde!"

Clara walks in with a tray with tea, laden with bicuits of all sorts.
"Tea is now being served" The Doctor thanked Clara as she lay the tray upon the bureau. "It's french, isn't it? questioned Romana "Yes, a present from a dear friend" answered the Doctor as he pondered over the biscuits."It's beautiful, such a pretty design, one day when I have my own little study, I may get one of those " smiled Clara.
(:D sometimes more is less and then other times less is more or something like that:D)
"That is interesting, the Tardis made no noise until it landed, that is unusual" observed the Doctor. "Can't say I noticed, I was dunking biscuits at the time" shouted Clara from the Tardis kitchen. "If you were dunking biscuits what are you doing in the kitchen Clara?" "Doctor, you have a two time dimensional problem in the Tardis, What time does the clock say in the kitchen Clara?" shouted Romana. "A clock that talks?" questioned Clara
"The clock says check the scanner" said Clara as she walked towards the Doctor. "Romana said that a moment ago" whispered the Doctor. " Clara, can you find some suitable attire for our adventure, have a look in the dressing up box, take Romana with you"
"Not posh Clara, more pronounced" replied the Doctor as he looked to see Romana looking quite surprised at what she saw on the screen. "Doctor have you a kimono to spare?" asked Romana as she took the last custard cream off the tray.
"It's a pity that our clothes don't have a chameleon feature too, so they automatically change into something appropriate when we leave the Tardis... " observed Romana, "unless we land somewhen before clothes were invented, of course..."
"Wait, it's a musem, I've been here before!" exclaimed the Doctor.
He rushes to the Tardis door to find a fan of his sitting in an armchair as the others follow. "That chair looks like a hat" giggled Clara.

Their tea time conversation was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the TARDIS landing.
"That is interesting, the Tardis made no noise until it landed, that is unusual" observed the Doctor. "Can't say I noticed, I was dunking biscuits at the time" shouted Clara from the Tardis kitchen. "If you were dunking biscuits what are you doing in the kitchen Clara?"

Romana, shakes her head. "Doctor, how are we supposed to decide what to wear if we don't know what's outside yet? Here, let me check."
She brushes the Doctor out of the way and brings the scanner up. She gasps at the sight on the screen.
"Either that or the TARDIS materialised in the middle of the Mikado", chipped in Clara.
