Prologue

''So, where are we going then Doctor?'' Amy asked curiously as she poured Rory and herself another cup of tea.

''I have absolutely no idea, but I'm sure it'll be fun!'' the Doctor exclaimed excited.

Rory and Amy shared a look. Whenever the Doctor thought something would be fun, it would turn out to be the exact opposite.

''Could you give us anything on where we going?'' Rory asked carefully.

The Doctor had to think about this for a moment but eventually made up his mind. ''Yes, earth, USA, your time.''

Amy took a step towards the Doctor, who was still busy trying to get the TARDIS to work the way he wanted it to.

''Doctor, why are we going to earth?''

''It's a thing. An important thing, I don't know what kinda of thing, but it is a thing.'' the Doctor replied. ''I feel like, something's drawing me there.'' He smiled his goofy smile and turned to see what the screen of the TARDIS was showing.

Amy too watched the screen, it was now showing a boy.

''Oooooh, that's interesting..'' the Doctor said slowly.

Rory joined the two. ''What is interesting? I don't notice anything interesting about the kid.'' he said.

The Doctor nodded. ''And that's what interesting about ''the kid''. He shouldn't be a kid, he should be in his teens by now.''

''You have met him before?'' Amy asked, still staring at the screen.

''Oh yes.'' The Doctor said as he leaned down on the console of the TARDIS.

''It was before-'' he swallowed. ''Before I regenerated, I don't even know how it happened, but somehow I ended up in this small town called Storybrook. I met him there.'' the Doctor gestured towards the screen which was now showing some sort of constellation.

''Henry is his name, Henry Mills, the son of the Mayor. He was unhappy I could tell, but there wasn't anything I could do about it, so I left.''

''But you never do that, you always help children, no matter what.'' Amy told him.

''Now perhaps, but I was somebody else back then, you wouldn't recognize me.'' The Doctor got up and walked quickly around the console of the TARDIS. ''I haven't done this in a while.''

''Haven't done what? What are you doing?'' Amy asked as she watched the Doctor pushing buttons and pulling handles.

''Making a house call.''
