RE-WRITING TIME
***The wedding***
The Doctor: Amy, uncuff me now. {she does}. Okay, I need a strip of cloth about a foot long. Anything will do. {grabbing his tie} Never mind. River, take one end of this, wrap it around your hand, and hold it out to me.
River: What am I doing?
The Doctor: As you're told. Now. In the middle of a combat zone so we'll have to do the quick version. Captain Williams, say, "I consent and gladly give."
Rory: To what?
The Doctor: Just say it! Please.
Rory: I consent and gladly give.
The Doctor: I need you to say it too, mother-of-the-bride.
Amy: I consent and gladly give.
The Doctor: Now, River. I'm about to whisper something in your ear and you have to remember it very very carefully and tell no one what I said {he whispers}. I just told you my name. Now. There you go, River Song. Melody Pond. You're the woman who married me. And wife, I have a request. This world is dying and it's my fault. And I can't bear it another day. Please, help me. There isn't another way.
River: Then you may kiss the bride.
The Doctor: I'll make it a good one.
River: You better.
The Doctor: And you are forgiven. Always and completely forgiven.
The Doctor survived, as we all know, and went on travelling with the ponds until that fateful day:
***the angels of Manhattan***
River: Where the hell did that come from?
The Doctor: It's a survivor. Very weak, but keep your eyes on it.
Amy: Where's Rory?
The Doctor: I'm sorry. Amelia. I'm so, so sorry.
Amy: No. No we can just go and get him in the TARDIS. One more paradox.
The Doctor: Would rip New York apart.
Amy: No, that's not true. I don't believe you.
River: Mother, it's true.
The Doctor: Amy, what are you doing?
Amy: That gravestone, Rory's, there's room for one more name isn't there?
The Doctor: What are you talking about? Back away from the Angel. Come back to the TARDIS, we'll figure something out.
Amy: The Angel, would it send me back to the same time, to him?
The Doctor: I don't know. Nobody knows.
Amy: But it's my best shot, yeah?
The Doctor: No!
River: Doctor, shut up! Yes, yes, it is!
The Doctor: Amy—
Amy: Well then. I just have to blink, right?
The Doctor: No!
Amy: It'll be fine. I know it will. I'll be with him like I should be. Me and Rory together. {calling River over} Melody.
The Doctor: Stop it! Just, just, stop it!
Amy: You look after him. And you be a good girl and you look after him.
The Doctor: You are creating fixed time. I will never be able to see you again.
Amy: I'll be fine. I'll be with him.
The Doctor: Amy. Please. Just come back into the TARDIS, Come along, Pond. Please.
Amy: Raggedy Man, goodbye.
In loving memory And his loving wife
Rory Arthur Williams
Aged 82
Amelia Williams
Aged 87
The Doctor: River. They were your parents. Sorry. I didn't even think.
River: Doesn't matter.
The Doctor: Course it matters.
River: What matters is this, Doctor. Don't travel alone.
The Doctor: Travel with me then.
River: Whenever and wherever you want. But not all the time. One psychopath per TARDIS, don't you think?
***end of what happened in the episode***
The doctor looked at River. River Song. Melody Pond. The last Pond. His Wife.
"No. I think two psychopaths would work just as well as one."
"Now, now sweetie. You know it can't work like that. Our timelines are far too confused"
"Time can be re-written"
"Oh don't start that again sweetie"
"Come on River. Please?"
"Oh all right then, if you insist. But if we end up making the whole universe implode, it's your fault."
"I'm willing to take that risk, honey"
And that's how the Doctor and River started travelling together for more than 1 day at a time.
