The Doctor sat there on the step thinking over yesterday's events. Rory had gotten zapped back in time by a weeping angel which left Amy distort and gave her the choice, either take her own life or travel with the Doctor. She chose to spend her life with Rory but leaving the Doctor never being able to see either of them again. He was alone. The loss of his faithful friends had really taken its toll on The Lone Wanderer. How was he going to explain it to Brian? How would he tell a man that thought the world of him that he had led his son and daughter-in-law to there death. The only consolation would be the afterword from the book Melody Malone that Amy had written and published for him. They lived well together and both lived until they were in their 80's. He sat there wondering how to break the news the man that was left on earth watering their flowers whilst they were gone. He stood up onto the floor of the TARDIS and took a couple of steps towards the centre controls and wiped away his tears. He straightened his bow-tie and muttered to himself "Come on Doctor, you're the oncoming storm. You've faced the most terrifying creatures from all corners of the galaxy and had even been slapped by a former companions Mother. You can fly the TARDIS to London. He'll understand." So he took another couple of steps until he reached the controls. Wrote something on the spatial location imputer, pressed a couple of buttons to control the TARDIS and make it travel through the Time Vortex, played with the atom accelerator and forcefully pulled the forward and backward controls off he flew.
The TARDIS vigorously whirled through the Time Votrew knocked The Doctor off his feet and a little key fell out of his pocket but he didn't notice as he was too busy trying to stand up and control the TARDIS. He got a hammer and slammed it on the controls continuously until the TARDIS landed safely. He once again sorted out his bow tie and slowly walked towards the door. As he opened it, it all just looked very familiar to him as he had been here many times to visit the Ponds. The latest time was when he stayed with Amy and Rory during the slow invasion of the Black Cubes but luckily that all got resolved and he saved the universe. He could save the whole universe but not his two closest friends. He saw a silhouette in the Kitchen window and whatever it was were moving towards the door, towards him. Towards him! The Handle of the door was being pulled down and the door opened. It was Brian Williams with his watering can.
"Doctor! Great to see you again! Where are Rory and Amy? I cant wait to hear all about what they've been doing. Oh and I've got tons…"
He saw the Doctor wiping away his tears as he fell to the Ground!
"Not them. Why Them. I'm so so sorry Brian but you won't be able to tell them, or hear from them ever again." He grabbed his collar and pulled him towards him. "Their Dead Brian and there's nothing I can do about it".
With this news Brian knelt down and quietly said to the Doctor. "Are they together?" He said it very calmly that The Doctor was shocked.
"Yes Brian. They lived a happy life together in New York until they were 80"
"Then that's all that matters. Its not your fault. As long as their happy then I am too. I don't blame you. Come and have a coffee with me?" he replied to the Doctor in the calmest voice possible which wiping his tears on him sleeve.
They stood up and walked into the house together. The house once owned by Rory and Amy. The house once owned by the deceased.
