A/N: This story came from a dream. It's AU, obviously. Just a little one shot.


It started out like any normal day. Amy and Rory were still trying to adjust to limited technology. No iPhones, laptops, or anything else. Rory had gotten a job as a nurse, using his knowledge of twenty first century medicine to lessen the blow of disease such as polio and tuberculosis. Amy was an author. She wrote stories about her travels with him. Her Raggedy Man books were the best selling children's magazine. She wrote under the alias of A. Pond. Some of her stories contained notes to him, the Doctor. The Raggedy Doctor that inspired, hurt, and saved her more times than she could count. She knew he got them, especially when a vase or something had the words, "Having fun Pond?" etched in. It was their way of communicating, even if he couldn't see her ever again.

It had started out like any normal day, Rory was at work and Amy was writing a story about Pirates and Mermaids. Then something happened. Her cell phone rang. Amy had kept it on a shelf off for the most part. It wasn't invented yet and she didn't want to risk anyone seeing it and advancing technology at the wrong point in time. For some reason, she had turned it on earlier that day and forgot about it, no one called her. She had called Him once, and he answered, but the line was distorted by the time energy, and it made the loss even more painful, for the both of them.

"H-Hello."

"The sun went out..." the familiar voice said with no preamble.

"Wha?"

"The sun...what happened to your accent? I liked the accent."

"Doctor, I've lived in America for years, my accent is bound to be lost."

"You lived in England for years and you never lost it...stop hiding it Pond."

"Fine, wha' can I do for you Raggedy Man?"

"The sun went out, aren't you paying attention?"

"Oi! How are you callin' me?"

"Is Rory there?"

"He's at work. Answer the question."

"Well get him back, or get to him!"

With that he hung up and Amy sighed and rolled her eyes. She ran the few blocks to the hospital and asked for Doctor Williams.

"Amy? What is it?"

"I don' know..."

As she said the words, a familiar wheezing sound could be heard both humans turned and watched the familiar blue box materializing in the middle of the hospital. Amy's breath caught, how could this be happening? The TARDIS couldn't land there, the time lines were muddled. It was impossible. The blue door swung inward and out popped the head of the Doctor, looking exactly the same as always. Floppy hair, big chin, bow tie.

"The Universe is collapsing, again. Come along Ponds."


Rose Tyler was walking hand in hand with The Doctor. She was still marveling at his current form. So different than the last regeneration. This one was tall, small ears, normal sized nose. Short hair that made her want to run her fingers through and muss it up. He ditched the leather for pinstriped suites, long coats, and trainers. He was showing her a calm planet. No wars, no conflicts, it was a planet of peace. She stood on the hilltop with him, he having stopped suddenly to point out the red moon.

"Beautiful..." she whispered looking up at him.

"Indeed, I never get tired of looking at it." he said, she didn't notice that he wasn't looking at the moon.

A wheezing sound could be heard and a blue box materialized. The two looked at each other in shock as a man bounced out of it. This one had floppy hair and a rather large chin, as well as a bow tie, tweed, and a fez.

"Hello!" he said cheerfully.

"What?"

"The universe is collapsing."

"What?!"

"I forgot I used to do that..."

"WHAT?!"

"OH SHUT UP! I NEED ROSE!"

"What..."

"Doctor!" a red haired scottish woman looked out of the TARDIS behind him, "What did we say about the fez...didn't River and I destroy it?!"

"I got another, now. Come on Rose!" he held the door open wider for the blonde.

"Erm..."

"She's not goin' anywhere." the younger Doctor responded shielding his blonde companion with his body.

"Oi! TARIDS, man comes from TARDIS, man obviously time lord. No time lords left, you don't feel me, I'm obviously you and I need Rose."

"For what?!"

"She can see time lines. She had the Heart of the TARDIS in her it left a mark. Rose you can hear her can't you? And you can see lines swirling around people."

"How do you?"

"Cause I do the same. I worked it all out before coming for you. This, this is how we restart it."

"I don't..."Rose shook her head, confused.

"The Pandorica is going to do it, but we need something to give it a big enough Bang."

"The TARDIS exploding?" Amy asked, shock on her face when she remembered the event.

"Exactly." The Doctor with the bow tie smiled in glee that she got it.

"That's mad, how could Rose do that?"

"She can fly her, remotely. Tell her where to go and then we detonate her."

"How?" Rory asked.

"By putting two more in the same place and blowing them all up. The explosion will cancel out the implosion and the third will be what restarts the Universe."

The Pinstriped Doctor frowned, wrapping his head around it.

"Lets do it."


The Bow tie Doctor went back further in time to pick up his other companions. He didn't need them, he just wanted them their in that moment. It was a time when he could have them all together without disrupting time lines, the lines were already disrupted. He grabbed Mickey and Sarah Jane, Jack and his ninth regeneration along with Martha and Donna. River joined them later.

"Big bang two?" she asked amused.

"Big bang two." he responded and gave the signal to Rose.

Rose had been working for years to learn to fly the TARDIS remotely. The Doctor had warned them about going to Canary Wharf. He told Rose to tie herself to the magnetic clamps. Fixed points could be ignored now, it didn't matter. When the date came, June twenty sixth two thousand ten, Rose flew all three TARDISes to the spot. And detonated them all at once.

"I'm in there..." River said watching the events take place.

"You get out..." The Doctor told her, looking down at her.

"I know...why gather them all?"

"Because, I was with them when I fixed it, seemed right to be with them to cause it."

"Not just Amy and Rory, why collect Sarah Jane, Mickey, Martha, Donna. Jack."

"Because I can. The Universe is ending, again."

"Why, if we fixed it?"

"It's a fixed point. Constantly happening, the Universe is always falling apart and I'm always flying the Pandorica to the explosion, and Amy always remembers me. Just like we always end up in Manhattan and Rory always stops to look at that damn tombstone."

"How long?"

"Two days..."

River nodded and didn't say anything. "After this, I'm heading the the Library, should be fun." she smiled excitedly, not noticing the look of distress on The Doctor's face.
