Amelia Pond flopped onto the couch and turned the tele on. The Doctor had left her two months ago, and he had told her he wasn't coming back. Instead of fighting Daleks or rescuing Elizabeth the 1st from angry vampire-like aliens, she was stuck at home waiting for her husband Rory to come back from work. Nothing could be duller. Rory, she thought, he hated when they were on adventures in the TARDIS, he liked staying in the small town of Leadworth where NOTHING ever happened.

An hour later, Rory came home to find Amy sighing as she flipped through the channels on the tele.

"I'm home! The hospital was very busy today, I had three patients!" he announced happily setting the keys on the counter. "I figured we could go down to that old pub for a bite to eat tonight. I heard their special tonight is fried catfish."

"Doesn't it bother you that nothing ever horrible happens around here" she grouched. "I mean. NOTHING ever happens. When we were on the TARDIS everything that could go wrong went wrong, but it was fun. Here, nothing happens and it's just plain out boring!"

"Well I thought you loved it here, I mean you've lived here most of your life." He said. She clearly wasn't in a good mood and he didn't want to get into a huge argument.

"I've tried forgetting him, the Doctor I mean. It's just that everywhere I look, I think of him." She paused for a moment, looking at Rory. "He gave us this flat, the door is painted TARDIS blue, and the old man next door wears bowties and suspenders. There's just no way to forget about him." She got up and grabbed a calendar. "It's two weeks until the 22nd of April. Two weeks until he DIES! She shouted, staring at the date. "I can't just sit here and wait for it to pass!"

"Amy, what we saw months ago was the future version of him showing us how the real Doctor was going to die, it's a fixed point in time, there's no way you can prevent it from happening, Whatever that was will kill the Doctor whether we like it or not. You can't stop it, you can't change it, you can't even tell him so what's the point in fretting about it" He said, he really didn't like the point that the Doctor was going to die, but he knew he couldn't do anything, and he wished she would get that into her head.

"But time can be rewritten, and if we tell the Doctor then he'll be able to stop it right?"

"The Doctor is a Timelord Amy, he has the power to control some time, but he has no power over fixed points. If he did find out about his death, you know what he would do. He could destroy all time or the universe for that matter trying not to die. You just have to let it happen."

"But he's our friend Rory! We can't just let him get shot from that astronaut thingy in the middle of no-where in Utah!" She said bursting out in tears.

"I know exactly what you need!" Rory exclaimed changing the subject, he couldn't stand to see her like this. "How about we go to London for a few days, that way you can shop, have fun, and we can go see old friends, it will help you forget about him; you need a vacation."

"I really don't want to sit in the car for two long hours but I guess that will be ok."

"Good, now you go and pack and I'll go get the mail." He said walking towards the front door.

"Oh, I don't need to pack. I already have suitcase packed." She said smiling. "I always have it packed just in case the Doctor shows up again and wants to take us on an adventure."

"Um, well that's fine" muttered Rory, trying to hide the twinge of jealousy that was building up in him. When would she get over the Doctor? He had been gone for two months and he probably wasn't coming back. Even if the Doctor was gone he still got all the attention.

"Oi, Stupid Face! Don't look so jealous, you know I love you! She said running up to him and giving him a quick kiss. "Now you need to go pack your bags cause we're going to London" She said with a bossy tone.

Suddenly there came a faint sound of something mechanical outside. "Awww, I told those lawn guys not to blow all the leaves away, it make too much noise!" He said with Amy still in his embrace.

"That's no leaf blower!" Amy exclaimed as she pulled away from his arms and ran towards the front door. "It's the Doctor!" She squealed and ran outside as quickly as she could.
