It's not an overstatement to say I'm excited when I see my people there. I know there are thousands of whovians around the globe and I've gone to some meetings, yet I still get so excited when I see people who also love the show, to the extent of doing cosplay! I have done cosplay myself, in fact that's the time I started dying my hair. It was for the Fiftieth anniversary, I did a cosplay of Amy Pond so I dyed my hair red and since then I've kept it. I used the cosplay as an excuse; I always wanted to do a change so that was the perfect opportunity to try.

I hurry to meet them, my heart beating in anticipation for what's to come. The meetings I've gone are normally to organise things, to prepare for some event or whatnot. I'm not sure what we're going to do in this meeting. There's still time for the Christmas Special, so I doubt we'll talk about that.

"Hello," I greet with a big smile when I'm finally in front of the guy dressed as Ten. Next to him there's another guy wearing a tee with Gallifreyan symbols. He's probably around twenty, too, very skinny and wearing dark-framed glasses. I feel bad for not noticing him before, but my attention was caught by the good doing cosplay. He kind of resembles David Tennant and that makes me feel giggly inside.

"Hi. You came to the meeting, right?" Cosplay Ten asks and I nod enthusiastically. "Welcome. I'm Rick, and he's Josh. First time, right?"

"Yes," I say after smiling politely to both as a greeting. "I was sent here by a friend. I'm Maca," I introduce myself and their eyes widen in recognition. I think.

"Maca! Yes, yes, we were waiting for you. I'm friends with H-- I mean, with the guy who sent you here." Now my eyes widen at Rick's words. He was about to call my stranger by his name and he didn't start with an R like Alicia.

I'm a bit confused here.

"What do you call him?" he asks next. "'Cos we're absolutely forbidden to tell you his name. We can't ruin the game."

I giggle feeling my cheeks heating because they know about all this scavenger hunt and that H is doing all this for me. "I just know his name starts with H..." I reply, not sounding sure. "So I call him that, H." And in my mind I also call him my stranger.

"Good. Then we'll refer to him as H, too. We don't want to ruin all what's he's done. He's worked really hard for you," Rick comments and I feel even more embarrassed.

"It's great to finally meet you. He always talks about you," Josh adds and I look at him.

"Really? Oh well... I..."

"Please, come in. Almost everyone is here. We were waiting for you," Rick invites me motioning to the door of the café, so I walk inside to find other eight people.

There are five girls, two of them are clearly doing cosplay as Martha and Rose and I feel like squealing when I see them. Martha's great, she really looks like Freema. The girl cosplaying like Rose is a bit chubby, compared to Billie Piper, but she still looks totally badass in the leather purple jacket. The other girls are just wearing normal clothes with some pins of Doctor Who. Among the three guys, one is cosplaying as Eleven and my heart skips a beat because Eleven is my Doctor, so I always get excited when I see one. He doesn't exactly look like Matt, but he tries and manages to pull it off. He has this childish and clumsy aura, so that makes the trick. I assume.

"Hey everyone, Maca is finally here!"

I feel so self-conscious when everyone turns to look at me, wide smiles and excited eyes. Why? What could've possible H said to these people about me? I feel pressured because they have been waiting for me and I'm just me. I'll disappoint them.

"She's the one who turned H into a whovian," Josh comments and the eyes of a woman, probably around thirty, widen even more with something candid swirling in pools of chocolate.

She stands up and walks towards me. "Why hello there, I'm Sarah--"

"Like Sarah Jane!" I exclaim not because H told me to do that but because it's a natural instinct.

"Precisely," she giggles. "My parents watched Doctor Who, too and named me after Sarah Jane."

"That's so cool!" I can't help myself, I sound like the total fangirl I am.

"So you are the girl. I've heard loads about you," she tells me and her eyes look at me so kindly. "I always tried to make H watch Doctor Who but it was useless until you. We're in the same theatre company."

Theatre company? Is H an actor? He must be, why else would he be part of a theatre company? Sarah smiles at me with a different sparkle in her eyes and I understand that she won't tell me more about that because that's H's to share.

"Please, take a seat. I'll introduce you to the others." I follow her to some tables they have gathered. "Well you already met Josh and Rick. The rest are Cami, Johanna, Laly and Holly," she tells me. Holly is the one cosplaying as Martha and Johanna as Rose. Cami and Laly are both young, probably my age. Laly must be younger, she's looks so small, even smaller than Mila and that's saying something. All of them look at me with big smiles and say their hellos.

"Over there you have Dean, Shaun and Pete," Sarah carries on. Shaun is the one cosplaying as Eleven. The other two guys look really young, probably still in school.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," I say with my best smile.

I end up seating next to Laly and yes, she's really small and skinny, like half of me, and looking at her wakes a protective instinct inside of me.

After all the introductions are done we start just small conversations with one another, waiting for someone else who might show up but after ten minutes we just jump into the point of the meeting. They tell me that during hiatus not as many people show but they like to keep doing this as we wait for a new series. Sometimes they gather and re-watch an episode or prepare for some event or just get together to eat whilst talking about Doctor Who or other shows in common. For today they have something special because, as Sarah put it, I'm a special guest and they want to make sure I come back. And that special event is acting one of the scenes to then show it for the nearest convention we will attend to.

"Have someone told you that you look like Clara?" Laly tells me and I blush.

"But my hair is red," I argue and she waves her hand dismissively.

"Minor details. But your features are like hers. You are perfect to cosplay as Clara. So we should totally do a scene from series seven. Do you know any?"

"Me?" I ask dumbfounded. I mean, I want to take part but not a lead role or anything.

"Of course!" Shaun exclaims with the same energy Eleven would use. He's really into the character. "We'll help you. We keep some clothes for spontaneous cosplay parties!"

I giggle at his enthusiasm. The idea sounds fun and tempting, but embarrassing. I like the idea of acting, it's always been something I want to do but I still get nervous and reluctant to do something about it.

"Come on, Maca! It's gonna be fun and it's gonna be a short scene, not a whole episode. If you want a scene with Twelve we'll make Dean to cosplay as him," Josh insists and I know my cheeks are burning, but I'm also getting more excited about it.

Oh, come on! I'm doing all these things that H had taken me to, I can't turn down this opportunity. What's the point of coming here and not taking part?

"Okay but do you have a wig? Clara is not ginger," I tell them and all of them cheer excitedly.

And we start getting ready. Laly and Holly help me to get ready and the rest decide on what scene and try to find a good place to do it. We decide that when the Doctor gives Clara the key is a good one as the clothes they have actually fit for that one.

In a matter of thirty minutes we are ready and it's so weird to see myself as a brunette again. I got used to my red hair.

We don't have a TARDIS but whilst Laly and Holly were making sure I look like on the Victorian times, they managed to do something. Turns out that the café is pretty near their theatre so they have loads -and I mean loads- of costumes and more. I guess they have done things like this before because they are fast.

We organise a few things and look for the script to make sure we don't mess our lines. I know mine but still. I like this scene very much so that's why.

We decide to start by the moment Clara -me- walks inside the TARDIS again after turning around. We are all ready so it's time to start with our very homemade Doctor Who scene.

"It's smaller on the outside," I start with a line I really like because it's different from the usual.

" Okay, that is a first," Shaun says his line, looking shocked like the Doctor and sounding quite similar to Matt. I don't know how he does it.

"Is it magic? Is it a machine?" I go next doing my best to do it as Jenna Coleman did.

"It's a ship."

"A ship?" I ask, imitating Clara's excited expression as I go around.

"Best ship in the universe."

"Is there a kitchen?" I ask and I have to hold on my amazement and giggles at Shaun's reacting. He's doing it so well!

"Another first." He can even imitate Eleven's mannerism.

"I don't know why I asked that. It's just, I like making soufflés," I say my line sounding as casual as I can, like Clara did.

"Soufflés?" He asks, sounding more serious and confused.

"Why are you showing me all this?"

"You followed me, remember? I didn't invite you," he replies.

"You're nearly a foot taller than I am. You could've reached the ladder without this. You took it for me. Why?" I state without hesitation and throwing at him the umbrella that Clara uses to get to the cloud.

Shaun approaches me, looking me right in the eye. "I never know why. I only know who."

He shows up a key, the key and slowly puts it in my hand, wrapping my fingers around it.

"What's this?" I ask, my voice trembling a bit because I know what it comes.

"Me. Giving in," is his response and he nails it because I can feel the same emotion that I felt during the episode and the emotion Clara feels because the Doctor is giving in, because he's coming back.

"I don't know why I'm crying," I say and right in time a tear falls down.

"I do. Remember this. This right now, remember all of it. Because this is the day. This is the day. This is the day everything begins." And off he goes, turning around, playing with the console and the umbrella, looking like the Doctor.

But as he does his routine, Cami, who cosplays as the Governess, grabs me and pulls me, making me drop the key as I scream and the doctor shouts, "Clara! Clara!" And that's where we stop the scene.

I hear the cheering and claps next and I stand up from where I fell with Cami. All the others approach, smiling and still clapping.

"Maca, that was great! You nailed it. Are you also an actress? You really captured Clara's personality," Sarah tells me and I blush furiously.

"I-- I just love Clara and I dunno. I'm glad it turned out well on the first try," I reply looking down.

"You were amazing, Maca. I think you should always act as Clara for every sketch we make in the future," Laly proposes and I can't refute before everyone expresses their agreement, trapping me.

"Tell us you'll come back, please. You were great," Sarah asks me and I'm still very embarrassed but I want to come back, I really do not only because they are whovians but also because I get a chance to act and so something fun like this. How could I turn this opportunity down? Plus, Sarah is an actress, she's part of a company, and if she says I'm good then she must be right. This is an amazing opportunity.

"Okay, I'll come back."
