Stranded on Earth in the year 2012, The Doctor must rely on strangers to help him through his recent regeneration. However, the Doctor is no stranger to them. 5th DoctorWhump! Amy/Rory/5thDoctor Not AU, strangely enough.
Disclaimer: Do you really believe me to be important enough to actually own Doctor Who? If so, I'm a much better actor than I thought. (In other words: No, I don't own Doctor Who, and to Steven Moffat if you ever happen across any of my stories, I love you and your writing. You are brilliant.)
Spoiler Alert: I make things up as I go along, so there is a large possibility that spoilers may appear. This chapter contains a spoiler for The God Complex. For those who have not yet seen The God Complex, you have been forewarned.
A/N: Hello! Welcome to my new fanfiction. I am new to the Classic Series, but as soon as I saw the Fifth Doctor, I fell in love. I've been dabbling with different ideas for the fifth Doctor, but this is the only partially good one. This chapter is set sometime after the Doctor drops Amy and Rory off after The God Complex. Enjoy!
Old Friends and New Faces

~Prologue~
It was a rainy night, dark clouds peeking over the horizon. Thunder boomed in the distance. Amy sat in her kitchen facing the window, nursing a mug of sweet tea. She had awoken sometime during the night and had not been able to fall back to sleep. Rory lay snoring upstairs, not the least bit disturbed by his wife's absence.
Amy snuggled deeper into the TARDIS blue comforter that was wrapped around her. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen- whether it was a good or bad thing, she wasn't sure. All she knew was that things were about to change, and she was afraid. She was afraid of the unknown, of not knowing what evil lay around the corner. It hadn't even been a year since the Doctor dropped Rory and her off, leaving them alone with nothing but a new house and a bright red car. She used to be afraid of Weeping Angels, cracks in walls, and Dalek invasions. Now she fears rising prices in gas, overdue bills, and spoiled milk.
She sighed and dejectedly swirled her tea. Life was so dull nowadays. She couldn't stand it! One more day of this madness, and she would check herself into the nearest insane asylum.
Rory, of course, was loving it. He was back to working at the hospital as a nurse and was highly acclaimed among many of the patients and staff surgeons. He loved having a normal routine, paying bills, and knowing that when he wakes up there isn't any chance of it being three hundred years in the past. And, especially, he loved not having to run. No monsters, no evil warlords, nothing.
Amy hated it, but, to be honest, she wished she didn't. What she wouldn't give to be able to love boring normalcy like Rory did! No matter how much she tried to be happy, she just couldn't. She was the girl who waited, and she was still waiting.
She plastered a phony smile on her face at the sound of Rory's drowsy feet making their way down the stairwell.
"Morning Amy!" Rory greeted cheerily. Amy was unable to wrap her head around the fact that, even at four in the morning, Rory could still be in an overly good mood.
Nevertheless, Amy upheld her disguise and responded in kind. "Morning Rory! Tea's on the stove."
Rory meandered over to the stove and poured himself a cuppa before heading over to sit beside his wife, grabbing a handful of biscuits on the way.
While stuffing his face full of biscuit, Rory began to tell his wife all that his day had in store for him. To Amy's credit, she tried to pay attention. She tried so hard, but she soon found herself drifting, trapped in the day dream of wonderful times long since past. Doctor, please- come back to me.
A resounding crash shook their home, causing Rory to drop his mug of tea, which shattered to a million pieces, hot tea forming a puddle around their unfortunate comrade. The Ponds jumped to their feet, nervously looking at each other. With slow and careful movements, the two made their way towards the large kitchen window. On normal days, the window offered a beautiful view of a small but mature backyard, with a garden and a small shed Rory built to house various gardening tools and other junk that wouldn't fit in their overly-crowded attic. Where that decent wooden shed once stood now lay a TARDIS, smoke billowing from its walls.
Amy grinned, this time for real.
Rory sighed and shook his head. "Here we go again."
A/N: I hope you enjoyed that short teaser, if you will. Chapter 1 will be up soon, and will revolve around the fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa, and Tegan. It will include an alternate end of the episode "Castrovalva," which is the fifth Doctor's first episode, following his regeneration and encounter with the Master. I'll try to update soon!
Please review!
