Preface

There was The Doctor, there was The Doctor's companions... and then there was Amy. He always told her that... 'Amy' he'd say, 'you're special, don't let anyone tell you any different.' She was only 18, but there was something more than just friendship between them. Or, at least, Amy hoped so... The Doctor was there when she dyed her hair black, for the first time, and he'd given her the biggest lecture ever. It droned on for about an hour, but his point was: don't dye your hair because it's too healthy and long. The reason she did it was because she was going to be starting a career as a rockstar, and because her hair was naturally the color of dried mud. She always straightened her hair, but The Doctor seemed to let that one go, seeing as how she had been doing it long before he had crash landed in her back yard. She had so many memories of him, but there was one that stood out...

Amy's band was called up on stage to perform, and they all went up. The Doctor grabbed her hand and smiled at her, when she turned around.

"You'll do great," he grinned.

That grin only made her smile more... she loved everything about him, right down to his Dopey-like ears. She got up on the stage in Vino's Bar and everybody cheered as she got up there. The music started and the cheering died down, but there was still the background noise of the kitchen and people talking. This was the first time The Doctor was going to hear her sing... she had butterflies in her stomach at that thought. She ignored the fluttery feeling in her stomach and started to sing the song she wrote... "Cathrine".

I know a secret
Something still belongs to me
I'm not afraid of those who killed their body
For still they cannot kill their soul
You may beat me down

Just denying the truth
But you can't kill the me in you

Dreams are illusions
They fade away before we can catch them
Promises that may be broken, dreams we'll forget
But what birthed in you cannot die

You may beat me down
Just denying the truth
But you can't kill the me in you

(Vocalizing)

You may beat me down

Just denying the truth

But you can't kill the me in you

You may beat me down

Just denying the truth

But you can't kill the me in you

The song ended, the crowd cheered, and The Doctor smiled as he clapped. The rest of their night was enjoyed by having dinner and swapping stories, all the band members knew what The Doctor was. At the end of the night, The Doctor pulled Amy aside when there were outside.

"I have to leave, now," he told her, "I won't see you for another six years."

"Doctor, that's too long..." she started.

"Now, hush, I'm talking..." she shut her mouth and listened to what he had to say, "I have to leave, but I will see you, again. You're going to be great... I can't tell you anything, but just know that you're going to be fantastic!"

That was the last thing he had said, before he left. Now, it is 2002, and The Doctor kept his promise... Amy was now 22, the lead singer/pianist of Evanescence, and he was right about her becoming fantastic. She found him, again, in London and hopped on board the TARDIS with him, for the first time... but he didn't mention the company that he had been keeping. Her name was Rose, she was 19, and she looked at Amy with the most disgust and hatred she could muster. She could tell that she was jealous of her relationship with The Doctor and that made Amy a little more comfortable, knowing that they hadn't exceeded the friendship status. But she could tell that Rose was not going to make traveling together fun, if anything... it was going to be a competition for The Doctor's heart. Thing is... Amy's not going to compete with her. She's known The Doctor long enough to know that any effort is futile.
