"Doctor! " Amy cried out seeing the Doctor sat in the Pandorica his head resting on the Stones while hers rested on his shoulder.

"Stone!" Rory shouted. The Time Lords sat side by side. The Stones face almost as white as a sheet. Amy and Rory ran up to the Pandorica with River. "Why did he tell us he was dead?" Rory questioned.

"We were a diversion," Amy said suddenly realising. "As long as the Dalek was chasing us, they could work down here."

"But why did she let him do it?" Rory questioned.

"And the Stone always puts others in front of herself, even if that means she has to lie it was needed."

"Was it needed?" He blanched.

"To her, yes." River nodded. "Stone, can you hear me?" She whispered patting her cheek. "Doctor?" She looked at him. "What were you two doing?"

"What's happening?" Rory frowned seeing the light from the windows in the museum somehow bring in more light making the room brighter.

"Reality's collapsing." River explained. "It's speeding up. Look at this room."

Amy's eyes widened seeing that the room was becoming much smaller. "Where'd everything go?"

"History's being erased. Time's running out. Doctor, Stone, what were you doing? Tell us. Doctor!" She shouted.

"Big Bang Two." The Doctor murmured squeezing the Stone's hand.

"The Big Bang." Rory frowned. "That's the beginning of the universe, right?"

"What, and Big Bang two is the bang that brings us back? Is that what you mean?"

"Oh." River blinked.

"What?"

"The TARDIS is still burning." She said going on to explain. "It's exploding at every point in history. If you threw the Pandorica into the explosion, right into the heart of the fire."

"Then what?"

"Then let there be light." She lightly chuckled. "The light from the Pandorica would explode everywhere at once, just like they said."

"That would work?" Amy questioned. "That would bring everything back?"

"A restoration field powered by an exploding TARDIS, happening at every moment in history. Oh, that's brilliant. It might even work." She eyed the Vortex manipulator on his wrist. "They've wired the vortex manipulator to the rest of the box."

"Why?"

"So he can take it with him." She nodded at the Doctor. "He's going to fly the Pandorica into the heart of the explosion."

River helped the Doctor as best as she could. The Stone was still sleeping, not looking her best, head resting against the Doctors shoulder looking quite peaceful yet hurt in her sleep. The Doctor was growing more weaker by the minute, finally finishing what he was doing he pressed a kiss to the Stones forehead, the Time Lord swallowed thickly hoping that she would eventually wake up to say goodbye to Amy and Rory.

"Are you okay?" A nervous Rory asked Amy not actually sure what to say to her. Of course, he was the Stones companion and was worried sick about what the Time Lords were planning but Amy had known them longer than he had.

"Are you?" Amy questioned sharing a nervous glance with the plastic Roman.

"No." He admitted.

"Well, shut up then!" She snapped looking away from him before burying her face into his neck wanting to hide away from this.

"Amy." River whispered after they had broken apart. "He wants to talk to you."

"What about the Stone." She questioned her eyes shifting to Rory. "Doesn't she want to speak to him?"

"She doesn't want him to see her like this." River replied. "She's not her best and feels that she couldn't handle it."

"Did she tell you that?" Rory questioned.

"No." River flatly replied. "But even if she doesn't know me all that well, I still know her."

"But what happens here?" Amy then frowned. "Big Bang Two? What happens to us?"

"We all wake up where we ought to be. None of this ever happens and we don't remember it."

"River, tell me they come back, too." She let out a shaky breath.

"The Doctor and the Stone will be the heart of the explosion." She slowly shook her head.

"So?"

"So all the cracks in time will close, but they'll be on the wrong side, trapped in the never-space, the void between the worlds. All memory of them will be purged from the universe. They would have never have been born. Now, please. He wants to talk to you before he goes."

"Doesn't she even want to talk to you?"

"Like I said." She sighed. "Neither of them know me yet. He secretly hates me and she doesn't know and now they never will."

With tears in her eyes, Amy slowly crept towards the Pandorica, a lump forming in her throat at the sight of the Time Lords. The Doctors completely burnt and crisp tweed jacket with a couple of holes in. The Stone's beanie was ascue on the top of her head, her hair slightly frizzy mostly from it rubbing against the Doctor's shoulder. "Hi." Amy choked out not sure what else to say. The Doctor softly smiled slowly raising his head the pain clearly being seeing in his eyes as he tightly grasped the Stone's hand will all the strength he could, not able to even think of letting go of her for a second.

"Amy Pond." He quietly murmured. "The girl who waited all night in your garden. Was it worth it?"

"Shut up." She replied holding back her tears before her face grew softly mumbling the words out as if she was unable to properly speak seeing the sight before her. "Of course it was."

"You asked me why we were taking you with us and we said that there was no reason." The Stone let out a sigh shaking her head. "I try not to lie but sometimes I have to." She shook her head. "And we were lying."

"It's not important." Amy quickly replied not wanting the Time Lords to talk about their mistakes or the past. She only wanted them to tell her that they would be coming back. That she wasn't being left and that River was wrong, wrong about them being stuck and forgotten because she didn't know what she would do if she forgot her raggedy man and tattered Stone. The madman and woman in their blue box.

"Yeah, it's the most important thing left in the universe." The Doctor said.

"Which is something with how small the universe is at the moment." The Stone dryly chuckled. "But it's why we are doing this." She sighed shaking her head. The Doctor brought her hand up and pressed a long kiss to the back of her hand. Letting out a shakey breath she continued. "Amy, your house was too big. It was that big, empty house, and just you."

"And Aunt Sharon." She added.

"Where were your mum and dad?" The Doctor questioned. "Where was everybody who lived in that big house?"

"I lost my Mum and Dad." She frowned slightly.

"How?" He pressed on. "What happened to them? Where did they go?"

"I..." she looked at them slightly alarmed. "I don't..."

"It's okay." The Doctor softly cut in. "It's okay. Don't panic, it's not your fault."

"I don't even remember."

"There was a crack in time in the wall of your bedroom, and it's been eating away at your life for a long time now." He explained. "Amy Pond, all alone. The girl who didn't make sense."

The Stone let out a small chuckle lightly shaking her head. "How could the Doctor or I ever resist that?"

"How could I just forget?"

"Nothing is ever forgotten. Not really. But you have to try."

There was suddenly a loud rumble. The Stone sighed hanging her head knowing it was time for them to go. "Doctor!" River shouted. "Stone! It's speeding up!"

"Together." The Doctor whispered into her mind squeezing the Stone's hand.

"You and me sweetheart." She chuckled.

"Wouldn't change it for anything." He said pressing a kiss to her fingers as Amy looked at the Doctors sonic in her hand flashing it before placing it in his pocket. "There's going to be a very big bang." He whispered just loud enough to be heard over the whispers. "Big Bang two. Try and remember your family and they'll be there."

"How can I remember them if they never existed?" She questioned teary eyed.

"Because you're special." The Stone firmly replied. "That crack in your wall, all that time, the universe pouring into your head. Amy, it was you who brought Rory back. You did that; if you can do that then you can bring them back, too."

"You just remember and they'll be there."

"You won't." She choked up.

"You'll have your family back." The clamps on the Pandorica started to move down. The Doctor had to let go of the Stone's hand. His forefinger wrapping as much as possible around hers as the clamps on her shoulders and torso did the same. "You won't need your imaginary friends any more. Ha! Amy Pond crying over us, eh?" He questioned as Amy slowly stepped back. Watching the Pandorica start to close.

"Hey." The Stone whispered.

"Guess what?"

"What?" Amy replied.

"Gotcha." They both said in unison smiling as it closed.

"Back!" River shouted pulling Amy to the ground as the Pandorica started to shake. "Get back!" The Pandorica flew off into the air through the roof of the museum. The Doctor dropped the device from his hand after sending the message. His eyes locked on the Stones, hers exactly the same. "It's from the Doctor and Stone." River laughed a little.

"What does it say?" Amy questioned.

"Oh dear... Geronimo."

----------------------------------------------------------------

Suddenly the Time Lords sat up side by side their clothes no longer burnt and crispy. The Stones hair not at all frizzy. Frowning for a moment before realising that they were in the TARDIS.

"Oh..." the Stone blinked lightly tapping the floor to check it was actually the TARDIS.

"Okay." The Doctor chuckled lightly. "We escaped, then. Brilliant. I love it when we do that." He remarked before looking down. "Legs, yes. Bowtie..." a hand flew up to his neck. "Cool." He then went to feel where the fez was before shrugging. "I can buy a fez."

"That you can." The Stone nodded. "But I got my hat..."

"Yours wasn't shot though." He pouted then froze hearing a voice sounding very much like his own close by.

"Lyle beach." The previous Doctor called. "The beach is the best. Automatic sand."

"Automatic sand?" They heard a previous Amy questioned. "What does that mean?"

"It's automated." He replied. "Totally."

"Oh." He frowned, seeing his previous self-working on the console. Amy in clothes for the beach with sunglasses on.

"Cleans up the lolly sticks all by itself."

"Really Doctor?" The previous Stone rolled her eyes walking in. A pair of sunglasses in hand. "Is that the best explanation you have?"

"What's wrong with it?" He frowned. "Last time I made it interesting you complained saying that she wouldn't understand."

"That's because you used words she wouldn't understand." She sighed.

"But that's-" the current Stone frowned pointing.

"Yes." The Doctor slowly nodded taking her hand. "That was last week when we went to Space Florida."

"We're rewinding." She murmured. "Our own time stream unravelling, erasing."

"Closing." The Doctor added seeing the crack on the scanner slowly close and disappear. "Hello, universe. Goodbye, Doctor, Stone." He kissed her cheek then frowned testing the theory in his head. "Amy." He called eyebrows raised as they both watched her slowly turn around. "Amy." He murmured.

Suddenly they jumped back arriving on a street where Amy had placed the card for them when the first met Craig.

"Three weeks ago." The Stone tilted her head watching Amy stroll up to the flats to place the card in the window.

"Yes, when she put the card in the window. "

"Amy!" The Stone shouted seeing her turn around. "We need to tell you something!" She slowly nodded looking at the Doctor. "Okay... She can hear us both."

"But if she can hear us..." he slowly turned around seeing the crack in the road.

They then appeared beside a large tree. Hearing a previous Doctor talking. "Good luck, everyone. Behave. Do not let that girl open her eyes. Amy, later. River, going to need your computer." He then wondered off standing beside the Stone while checking his sonic before getting scolded and hit around the head by the Time Lady who ordered him to hurry up.

The Stone chuckled seeing her previous incarnation slightly shaking her head at the sight. "That did hurt." The Doctor protested in a whispered.

"Come on." She replied slowly standing.

The Time Lords made their way over to Amy the Doctor taking her hands. "Amy, you need to start trusting us. It's never been more important."

"But you don't always tell me the truth."

"If we always told you the truth, we wouldn't need you to trust us." The Stone attempted a Welsh accent before sighing seeing the frown form on Amy's face.

"Stone?" She questioned. "What's wrong with your voice?"

"She's not feeling quite right." The Doctor cut in. 

Slowly the ginger human nodded. "Doctor, the crack in my wall." She whispered. "How can it be here?"

"I don't know yet but we're working it out." He reassured. "Now, listen. Remember what I told you when you were seven?"

"What did you tell me?"

"No." He shook his head resting his forehead against hers. "No, that's not the point. You have to remember."

"Remember what?" She questioned. The Time Lords then disappeared once more. "Doctor? Stone?"

They suddenly appeared in Amy's house. Specifically when she was seven years old...
"Amelia's house." The Stone swallowed lightly sniffing the air. "When she was seven."

"The night she waited." Heading outside the Time Lords stopped seeing young Amelia Pond lying on her suitcase after falling asleep.

"The girl who waited." The Stone sighed feeling guilty for how long she had to wait when it was only an hour or so for the Time Lords.

"Come here, you." The Doctor carefully picked her up. The Stone taking the suitcase following the Doctor to her bedroom.

"It's funny." He muttered pulling the covers over Amelia. "I thought if you could hear us, we could hang on somehow. Silly me." He shook his head. "Silly old Doctor."

"We're both silly then." The Stone added taking his hand.

The Doctor slowly nodded gently squeezing her hand and focusing back on Amelia. "When you wake up, you'll have a mum and dad, and you won't even remember us. Well, you'll remember us a little."

"We'll be a story in your head." The Stone chuckled lightly. "Wasn't expecting that when I started travelling the universe."

"But that's okay." The Doctor slowly nodded. "We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. The daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away with his best friend who also was the love of his life." He softly smiled at the Stone before looking back at the peacefully sleeping seven-year-old human. "Did I ever tell you that I stole it?" He said before chuckling. "No doubt the Stone has mentioned it before. She has always been better than me at talking about the past but we borrowed it." He added. "I don't know about the Stone but I was always going to take it back. Oh, that box. Amy, you'll dream about that box. It'll never leave you." He breathed. "Big and little at the same time. Brand new and ancient."

"And the bluest blue ever." The Stone murmured resting her head on the Doctors shoulder as his eyes became wetter by the minute.

"And the times we had, eh?" He glanced down at the Time Lady kissing her forehead then looked at Amelia. "Would have had." He swallowed thickly. "Never had. In your dreams, they'll still be there. The Doctor, the Stone and Amy Pond, and the days that never came."

They then heard a noise and looked behind them seeing the crack a light glowing into the rook. "The cracks are closing. But they can't close properly until we're on the other side." He shook his head "We don't belong here any more." He sniffed going to stand up "I think I'll skip the rest of the rewind. I hate repeats."

"Oh, Doctor." The Stone murmured squeezing his hand before she wrapped her arms around his torso in a tight hug. "You're never alone."

"No I'm not." He wiped his eyes. "I've always got you don't I?" He chuckled. "My best friend, my wife and the stubbornest woman I know." He chuckled a watery laugh leaning over and kissing Amelia's forehead. "Live well." He whispered. "Love Rory. Bye bye, Pond."

"Together." The Stone whispered.

"I wouldn't want anything else with you, Stone." He smiled the two of them stepping through the crack in the wall hand in hand. Just like everything else they did. Together.

----------------------------------------------------------------

From when Amy woke up on her wedding day to entering the reception something felt off. Something wasn't right and she had no idea what, everyone else seemed fine. Rory was okay and so was all of Amy's friends and family but why wasn't she? Especially on her wedding day.

Sitting at the front table with her parents and Rory, Amy waited for her father to finish writing his speech. That was until all worries about it went out the window upon seeing a curly haired blonde woman walk past the window sharing a quick glance with the redhead.
Amy shot up and out of her seat staring out the window, even she didn't understand what her outbursts were. "Amy?" Rory looked up at her worryingly. "You okay?"

"Yeah." She slowly nodded. "I'm fine."

"Right. Er, you're crying."

Slowly the Scottish girl raised a hand. Frowning when she felt moisture come from her eye and sit on the tip of her finger. "So I am.' She frowned a little out of confusion. "Why am I doing that?"

"Because you're happy, probably." Rory tried to convince her, although he realised it was more than that. She definitely wasn't stupid. "Happy Mrs Rory. Happy, happy, happy." He chuckled nervously.

"No, I'm sad," Amy admitted shaking her head, "I'm really, really sad."

"Great," Rory muttered.

"Why am I sad?" Amy questioned then looked at the small blue book in his hands. It reminded. She seemed to have forgotten something, but how would a blue book be so important? What was she forgetting? "What's that?" Amy questioned.

"Oh, er, someone left it for you." He held it up. "A woman."

"But what is it?" She frowned

"It's a book."

"It's blank." She said as she opened it and flicked through multiple pages.

"It's a present."

"But why?"

"Well, you know the old saying." He tried to lightly jab her with his elbow. "The old wedding thing. Huh?" Amy however totally ignored him staring into the distance. "Amy, what? Hey."

Just at that moment, Amy's father stood up. "Ready now." He smiled apologetically. "Sorry about that. Last minute adjustments to certain aspects. Now then, it hardly seems a year since..." Amy was completely out of it. Distracted by many guests around the room, first a young man with a red bow tie and then another man with braces. Her eyes then drifted over to a woman drinking her tea and then a young girl with her nose buried into a book. "...At the age of six and announced that the new headteacher wasn't real because she looked like a cartoon-"

"Shut up, Dad!" Amy shouted bolting upright.

"Amy?" Rory questioned slightly worried.

"Amelia?" Her father asked.

"Sorry, but shut up, please." She swallowed her eyes glassy with tears threatening to fall. "There's someone missing. People who are important. Two people that are so, so important."

"Amy, what's wrong?"

"Sorry." She apologised. "Sorry, everyone. But when I was a kid, I had two imaginary friends."

"Oh no, not this again." Her mother groaned.

"The raggedy Doctor and the tattered Stone. My raggedy Doctor and Tattered Stone but they weren't imaginary, they were real."

"The psychiatrists we sent her to." Amy's mother tried to hide her embarrassment hoping that her daughter wasn't mad.

"I remember you." She shouted. "Both of you. I remember! I brought the others back, I can bring you both home, too." She shouted to the air. "Raggedy man, Tattered Stone. I remember you, and you are both late for my wedding!"

After a moment the glasses began to rattle on the tables and the lighting overhead slowly began to swing side to side. "I found you. I found you in words like you knew I would. That's why you told me the story, the brand new, ancient blue box." She continued as a strong wind blew in the room sweeping balloons in all different directions. "Oh, clever. Very clever."

"Amy, what is it?" Rory questioned.

"Something old." The familiar sound of the TARDIS wheezing was heard like a low humming in Amy's ears. "Something new." It got louder and louder." Something borrowed." The TARDIS was now materialising as guests gasped at the sight. Amy held back the grin on her face. Her eyes slightly glassy with tear marks on her cheeks. "Something blue."

"It's the Doctor and the Stone," Rory said as if he surprised even himself. "How did we forget the Doctor and Stone?" He frowned as Amy walked right over the table walking up to the TARDIS her eyes fixed. "I was plastic. She was the stripper at my stag. Long story." He quickly added. Amy knocked on the door of the TARDIS talking loudly. "Okay, Doctor, Stone. Did I surprise you this time?"

One of the doors swung open the Doctor poking his head out. A top hat on his head and white scarf around his shoulder. "Er, yeah." He replied.

"I guess you could say that we're completely astonished." The Stone added the second door swinging open the Stone stood there in a dark purple strapless dress which was more darker on the top and got lighter on its way down.

"Yes very." The Doctor added. "Never expected that, right dear?"

"Never, totally." She played along. "We were lucky to have been practising our dancing which is more like me watching him make a fool of himself. Unless it's slow music. Then I can never resist." She remarked. "How lucky we happened to be wearing these old things."

"Yes, right." The Doctor nodded stepping out of the TARDIS. "Hello, everyone. We're Amy's imaginary friends." He waved to all the guests and then shook Amy's father's hand. "But we came anyway."

"You absolutely, definitely may kiss the bride," Amy said walking up to him.

"If he gets to kiss the bride do I get to kiss the groom?" The Stone raised a brow walking out of the TARDIS and shutting the door.

"Hello Stone." Amy chuckled tightly hugging the Time Lady. "Even though I couldn't remember I have missed you."

"We've missed you both as well." She replied. "Sorry, we missed the first part of the wedding. You know what the Doctors like with staying in the same place for too long." She chuckled nudging her husband.

"You're just as bad." He groaned.

"Says you." She laughed. "But Rory!" She grinned hugging him.

"Hello Stone." He laughed. "Doctor."

"Mister Pond!" He exclaimed shaking his hand.

"No." Rory frowned shaking his head. "I'm not Mister Pond. That's not how it works."

"Yeah, it is." The Doctor nodded.

"Yeah, it is." Rory unsurely nodded.

"Right then, everyone." The Doctor then spun the Stone around grinning at her before looking at the guests. "We'll move our box. You're going to need the space." He said running inside and poking his head out. "I only came for the dancing."

"I only came to watch him." The Stone grinned running inside.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Stone shook her head not able to help but smile as the Doctor threw himself across the dancefloor. She had refused to make a complete fool of herself and did find it more amusing to watch him do exactly that. Amy laughed unable to hold in her giggles at the Doctors moves. Rory watched while sitting at a table beside the Stone as he looked rather shocked that a nine-hundred-year-old Time Lord never actually learned how to properly dance.

"He's not the best dancer on his own." The Stone remarked to Rory her eyes fixed on what the Doctor was doing. "I refuse to dance with him to these kinds of songs because, to be honest, I can't dance very well either."

"Really?" He looked at her. "Don't tell me you're worse than him."

"Oh no." She laughed. "Definitely not that bad."

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Why do I even let him do this." The Stone sighed watching the Doctor who had seemed to come up with a name for his rather odd dance move. 'The drunk giraffe' and was actually encouraging the younger children of the wedding who were quite fond of him to give the move a try.

Amy and Rory couldn't hold in their laughs any longer and both burst out into fits of laughter at the Time Lord who looked quite pleased with himself and even managed to whisk the Stone onto her feet moments after her remark. Forcing her to try the dance. "Doctor!" She screeched after he pulled her up from the chair.

"Come on Stone!" He shouted through laughter.

"Fine." She shook her head a smile slipping from her lips for a moment upon seeing the bright smile on his face.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Doctor stood leaning against a wall watching Amy and Rory slowly dance together. Most of the children had gone home when it became later and later with only the adults remaining. The Doctor grinned spotting the Stone her eyes meeting his. Neither of them had to say a word to the other before they both found themselves on the rather empty dance floor facing each other. "Hello." He grinned at her.

"Hello, sweetheart." She chuckled lightly shaking her head.

"Now I know you haven't wanted to dance tonight just because of how tired you are from this all." He tugged her closer his arms wrapping around her waist. "But there are not many people here now and we do actually dance quite well together to these sort of songs."

"How can I ever say no to you Doctor." She softly laughed shaking her head and placing her arms around his neck slightly pulling him closer her head resting just above his chest.

There was a long silence. It wasn't something that bothered either Time Lord. They felt contentment and calm, enjoying each others company and quite glad that they were both alive and we're not forgotten. "I've missed this." The Doctor murmured making the Stone frown and look up at him. "Like this." He went on to explain. "I could see that you were hurting after Rory's death." He admitted. "You looked so hurt and disappointed in yourself, and I tried to distract you, I really did." He let out a sigh. "I couldn't-"

"Shut up." She cut him off shaking her head the Doctor snapped his mouth shut in an instant sensing it was better than to ignore her. She wasn't being harsh or snappy but soft and calm. Something that made him even more confused about her choice in words. "I know you tried and I even tried to make myself better and relaxed." She admitted placing her head back where it was before, right between his two hearts which were beating in a slow peaceful rhythm relaxing music to her ears. "My companions, not that I can remember their names, even after all these years of trying I can't remember a single one except for Lila.But not even Lila died because of me."

"You didn't get him killed." The Doctor reminded. "But that was exactly why I was so worried, I didn't know what you would do or how you would react."

"And to Amy you looked normal as if nothing happened..."

"But you're clever." He slowly nodded chuckling. "A Time Lady even."

"And of course it doesn't get past that easily with me." She laughed with him. Their laughter slowly died down and the Stone let out another sigh as she rested her cheek on his chest. She smiled at the calm double heartbeat that could lull her to sleep no matter what.. "I love you."

"I love you too, Stone." He softly smiled capturing her lips in a slow and tender kiss, smiling at her after their lips separated. "Come on it's been quite a day."

"I think it has." She agreed taking his hand the two of them walking towards the door before looking back softly smiling at their companions looking quite similar to how the Time Lords were moments ago on the dance floor.

"Two thousand years." The Stone shook her head not able to believe it herself if she was ever told it. "Amy waited fourteen years for us. He waited even longer for her."

"Yeah..." The Doctor said watching them. "Good on you, mate."

The Doctor and Stone made their way to Amy's house walking up to the TARDIS which was waiting in Amy's garden. "Did you dance?" The familiar voice of River Song questioned. The Doctor and Stone turned around seeing her stood in front of them. "Well, you always dance at weddings, don't you?"

"You tell me."

"In the word that your wife used to say: secrets."

"Using my own words against him." The Stone laughed. "Ah well done there River."

She laughed as the Doctor handed back River's book and vortex manipulator. "The writing's all back, but we didn't peek."

"And I made sure he didn't." The Stone shot the Doctor a look something that told River that he did try to take a peek at the book.

"Thank you sister, at least I can rely on you to keep secrets."

"I see what you did there." She shook her head. "Again well done."

"At times I cannot understand either of you." The Doctor remarked his eyes flickering between his wife and the woman continuously calling her 'sister'.

"That's our job." River laughed. "We're the ones with foreknowledge who keep you on your toes."

"Used to have foreknowledge for me anyway." The Stone corrected. "But you would know that."

"Spoilers." River grinned.

The Stone shook her head hoping to get an answer that would give them a clue. "Who are you River?"

She let out a small sigh placing the Vortex Manipulator on her wrist. "You're going to find out very soon now. And I'm sorry, but that's when everything changes." She then vanished. The Stone glanced at the Doctor for a moment seeing the slightly worried look on his face.

"No, it won't." She chuckled kissing his cheek then taking his hand. They both headed into the TARDIS the Doctor twirling the Stone before jumping up the stairs, tossing his scarf over a couple of the controls on the console.

"Oi! Where are you two off to?" Amy questioned walking into the TARDIS. "We haven't even got the two of you drunk yet."

"Amy!" Rory cut in following her inside.

"Ah." The Stone sighed leaning into the Doctors arms. "Reminds me of our wedding, a bit."

"Hmm, it does a bit. He hummed.

"Shut up." The Scottish woman called at Rory. "It's my wedding."

"Our wedding." He corrected.

"Sorry, you two." The Doctor cut in. "Shouldn't have slipped away. Bit busy, you know?"

"Busy?" Rory questioned sensing that it wasn't one of their innuendos he continued. "You just saved the whole of space and time? Take the evening off. Maybe a bit of tomorrow."

"Ah but space and time isn't safe yet." The Stone informed raising a finger. "The TARDIS exploded for a reason. "

"Something drew the TARDIS to this particular date, and blew it up. Why? And why now?" The Doctor questioned as a phone begin to ring. "The Silence, whatever it is, is still out there, and we have to... Dear?" He raised a brow. The Stone rolled her eyes at him and picked up the telephone from the receiver on the console. "Hello? Oh, hello." She blinked. "Yes my apologise this is a very bad line. Blame my husband." She grinned seeing the offended look on his face. "But." She frowned. "But that's not possible. She was sealed into the seventh Obelisk and I know that because someone..." she looked over at the Do tor. "...was at the prayer meeting. Yes, I understand that this is very Well, no, I get that important." She rolled her eyes. "Yes an Egyptian goddess loose on the Orient Express, in space is very bad. Of course, I understand I'm a Time Lady." She chuckled. "But you will have to hold on I can't just go agreeing to things without input from him. I would never hear the end of it along with his whining and pouting."

"Rude." He pouted as she smiled at his reaction.

"Sweetheart I can't be rude it's impossible."

"And why is that dear?"

"I'm ginger." She grinned holding up a lock of her hair in his face. "See." She beamed. "Rude and not ginger doesn't work on me, therefore, I am not rude. Ha."

The Doctor shook his head at her. "But on to more important matters... Something's come up." He looked at the human couple. "This will have to be goodbye."

"Yeah, I think it's goodbye." Amy nodded in agreement then looked at Rory. "Do you think it's goodbye?"

"Definitely goodbye." He replied. The Time Lords moved around the console as Amy ran to the door to say a quick goodbye.

"Don't worry about a thing, your Majesty." The Doctor grinned into the phone winking at the Stone before kissing her cheek. "We're on our way."

-----

Almost finished with series five! It feels like I only just said goodbye to ten and started writing eleven and the continuation of the tenth Stone yesterday... we have the Sarah Jane Smith adventures episode next and then off to the sixth book for the Christmas special and series six.
Sixth book damn. It doesn't feel like it has been that long.
