A/N: This story is written by my little sister, Miss Crosszeria and I. The idea came to our mind while listening to Billie Piper's song, Day and Night. Hope you like it!
The Doctor was laying under the console, humming and flicking random looking cables when Amy came in. She walked over the Doctor and stood over him with her hands on hips.
"Hey! Listen, can we talk?" She sounded troubled.
"Rory!" Doctor called out.
"No. Shut up. I've just got a question, that's all."
"You okay over there?" Rory asked, looking up under the floor.
"Yeah, fine. No problem." He called back. Amy looked down and furrowed her eyebrows.
"What are you doing?" She asked, she was frustated that Doctor had let Rory to help while she wasn't allowed to do so.
"Helping the Doctor! It's humming, is that okay?"
"Yeah, it's okay. Oh, test of the couplings two, seven and eleven. Like I showed you."
He walked around the console, pressing buttons. Amy went after him.
"How come he gets to, you never let me have a go?"
After that, they had a little conservation about Amy's driving skills and skirt. The TARDIS went out just as Amy said she was wearing the same skirt. But it clearly wasn't a normal landing as they had all fell to floor, or well, in Rory's case, under the floor, with the impact.
"What was that?" Amy asked with a worried voice.
"Rory, did you drop a thermo coupling?" the Doctor yelled.
"Sorry."
Doctor ended up learning it involved Amy, her skirt and a certain glass floor, which made him eww. Rory apologised again.
"So, Doctor, where are we?"
"We've landed. The emergency materialisation should be fine, should have locked onto the safest space available."
Amy, being Amy, ran to the door and peeked outside while Rory come up. Rolling his eyes, he went after her. Amy poked her head back inside. The Doctor was running around the console, pressing buttons and muttering something about sexy and old girl, but she chose to ignore it.
"Um, Doctor?"
Doctor looked up at her with questioning eyes.
"I've just wondered.. It doesn't look very far away in future but since when are there zepplines on sky?"
"Maybe it's a festival kind of thingy? Is there any zeppline festy kind of thing in near future, Doctor?"
But the Doctor had a shocked look on his face as he whispered something they couldn't hear and ran outside. They followed him.
"Doctor? What is it?"
Doctor was standing with his back facing them. Amy ran to his side and blinked at the expression he wore.
"Doctor?"
Doctor turned around himself and ran back to the TARDIS. He ran and pressed buttons more furiously than before.
"Doctor? What's wrong?"
"We shouldn't be here." He said without stopping.
"What? It's just the Earth... Isn't it?" Rory asked, becoming unsure at the end.
"No. Well, yes. Kind of. Not exactly."
Amy frowned.
"Doctor, you aren't making any sense."
Doctor stopped and turned to them.
"It is Earth, yes, but not your Earth. It's a parallel world- yes Rory, like in the movies. Every single decision we make creates a parallel existence. It used to be easy when Time Lords were still alive, but the walls were sealed." He pushed a few buttons forcefully but gave up. "And now, we're stuck here."
"We're in a parallel universe, like in the movies?" Rory repeated.
"And why are we stuck here?" Amy asked.
The Doctor sighed and caresses the console.
"I told you, the walls are sealed. There needs to be more than one time lord-" he cut his own words off as he opened his mouth in shock. "There is one more time lord. But that shouldn't be possible- it can't be possible! Why didn't I sense it before? Rewritten biology?"
The pair looked at him with blank looks as he talked himself.
"I'm going outside."
"Amy, no!"
Amy turned to him with a huff.
"Doctor, you said we were stuck here and I'm hungry. I'm going out."
She turned back and went outside. Rory followed her quietly and eventually, so did the Doctor.
"We aren't meant to be here." Doctor insisted. "We don't belong here."
"We don't belong any other time either." Amy answered. "We learnt all the rules about travelling with you, Doctor. Don't wander off, right? We're gonna try not to be involved in any big event or something like that. I'm just hungry and I wanna eat some fish and chips. Is that alright?"
"Fish fingers, mmh." Seemed to be the answer she was expecting. She grinned and looked around. She spotted a shop and pulled the boys towards it.
Doctor happily bit his custard covered fish finger while Amy and Rory talked about random things. It was a small shop but it was a friendly place. Oh, and they had great chips. There were candles on random places and they smelled nice. There was a big telly on the wall the Doctor was facing and he found the songs more interesting than the Ponds currently were. He looked up and watched the music videos. Some of the songs were familiar, however some were completely foreign. It was nice not knowing everything sometimes, though he'd prefer it to be temporary. His attention was soon turned away to something else as he grew bored.
"It's like listening covers, just they're not." Amy said with a smile.
"Oh, it's Amy Winehouse. She's still alive! And her hair is... red." Rory said. Amy ignored his comment.
"What year are we in exactly?" She asked while looking at the Doctor.
"24 June 2013."
"How can you say it without checking anything?"
"Rory, we have a time and space machine and you're questioning this?" Amy said.
"Yeah, right."
"Because it's on the today's newspaper." The Doctor pointed the newspaper over the next table.
"Oh." They both said in the same moment.
The Doctor lost to his curiosty and took the newspaper. He opened it and went though the pages.
"Oh, this one looks so familiar but I can't place her." Rory said.
The Doctor raised his head from the newspaper, his face still half covered by it. After a few seconds a soft female voice filled the shop. His eyes widened.
"Yeah, me too." Amy agreed. "I'm sure I've seen her somewhere before."
All of the day all of the night
You do the things
That make me feel so right
My shining star my shining light
And that's the day and night babe
"Rose..." The Doctor whispered.
