She was happy. Of course she was happy! She had her Roman Soldier. What more could she need?
Silly question, of course. But she knew this would happen. This was probably what all those other companions of the Doctor had felt when he'd left them behind. Sad, heartbroken, and a bit jealous because of course there would be other companions to follow.
Amy turned over in bed and looked at Rory sleeping next to her. He looked so peaceful, more peaceful than he'd looked in so long. She knew he loved the Doctor and had loved travelling with them but she also knew he needed to settle down. Plus she was sure there was a little part of him that was quite happy to have Amy seperate from the Doctor for a while.
She looked at the clock. It was 8.30am. A Saturday morning, but she felt awake and wanted to get up. With Rory still sleeping soundly, she kissed him on the forehead and pulled the covers back. Swinging her legs onto the floor, she got dressed, creeped down the stairs and out the front door. The morning air felt good on her skin and their was a bright sun in the sky. She walked down the road to the only cafe in her sleepy village.
As she walked through the door, the Doctor's words suddenly appeared in her mind... "The corner of your eye. It's what you're not seeing in the corner of your eye." Just as they appeared, she saw a blonde head move past her and into the cafe. She turned to see. Nothing there. Amy blinked and shook her head. Clearly she needed coffee.
After ordering the biggest, milkiest coffee she could, she sat at the nearest empty table. Clutching her cup she inhaled the scent, but nearly dropped it when a voice from across the table said "You know I'm here! I don't know why I'm here but you know I'm here!" Amy looked up, startled to see a blonde haired girl, a little older than her but not by much, smiling broadly. Amy had no idea who she was yet something inside her told her she knew exactly who she was.
"Hello." said the girl. "I'm Rose Tyler. Who are you?"
