Switched up
One morning Rory and Amy walked into the TARDIS control room, only to find The Doctor and River unconscious on the floor.
"What on earth were these two doing?" Amy asked, slightly shocked. Rory looked at Amy with pure confusion and said nothing. Just as Rory opened his mouth to say something, they heard a gasp from where the two where laying on the floor.
River gasped slightly for air, even though she never stopped breathing. She sat up quickly, with a bewildered look in her eye.
She suddenly noticed her parents standing. "No! You two have to go! Just.. RUN. Quickly. You can... Yo.., you can't... Stay... Here" and just as soon as she got up she was passed out again.
Amy was about to respond when her vision started to blur. Her legs began to weaken and finally gave way. She fell, landing to her daughter's left.
Rory was having the same problems when he too finally became unconcious, falling on the right of the Doctor.
It seemed like it had only been a few minutes before they started to stir.
The Doctor was the first one to wake up. His eyes opened slowly, trying to adjust to the light.
As he came to his senses he immediately knew something was wrong. He slowly stood up and examined his surroundings. He looked down at the three figures on the floor. River, Amy, and himself.
'Wait. Me! What?' He thought. As Realisation dawned on him, he fell against the console in shock. "OH My gosh. One heart! ONE HEART!" He panicked slightly as he realised. "Oh. My. God. I'm...I'm...IM RORY!" He yelled aloud, as Amy shot up from her slumber on the floor.
"Rory? Wha- wait. Why do I sound like..." 'Amy' turned and saw river laying next to her. "Oh no... Rory? Is that you? Like. Properly?" 'Amy' asked after getting over a small shock.
The doctor looked at 'Amy'.
Could this have happened to the others as well?
"No.. Noo. Couldn't be... River?" He asked slightly scared of the answer.
River/Amy looked at him. Slowly she realised. "Oh my god. Doctor?"
He was no doubt Rory, as he sat up as fast as a bullet. He took in a deep breath as he looked around the room. His eyes finally landed on..himself. There was no hiding his confusion. "Uh...Wha-..?" he stammered. Rory jerked suddenly, "WHAT IS THAT?" Rory yelled panicking.
The doctor smiled down at him. "That would be MY two hearts, Rory." The doctor had a frown on his face.
"What do you Mean YO-" he stopped again so he could move the brown hair out of his eyes. wait. brown? he looked down. "Oh my god." He closed his eyes hoping it is was a dream. "Please tell me- my voice! My Voice! Oh my GOSH IMYOUARENTI HOWDOESSOMETHINGLIKETHISHAPPEN?" Rory started to talk a ninety words a minute.
"Rory." The Doctor urged to no avail. "Rory! Ugh. Do I always do this?" He mumbled to himself. "RORY!" He yelled stopping Rory's babbling.
"Ok. Look. I don't know what happened. But we've all been switched up. Amy is in Rivers body and Vice versa. And I'm you and you're me."
At that moment, Amy started to stir and wake up. She groaned and sat up, holding her head in her hand, hoping what she had seen was a dream of some kind. All of those thoughts were crushed as soon as she felt 'her' hair in her hands. Just like Rory had, Amy looked around the TARDIS console room until her eyes met herself. She quickly stood up, and before anyone could explain the situation, looked into a shiny bit of the console. Her reflection was, to her, astonishing. River's face looked back at her.
The Doctor tried to speak, but he was inturrupted by Rory. "Amy! It'syou,isn'tit? Imean,ofcourseitis. Whywouldn'titbe?" he continued to blabber on until Amy reached out and slapped him. Hard.
As soon as she realized she just slapped Rory, she apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry, Rory. I don't know why I did that.." River smirked. "Ha. That was meant for the doctor. Earlier he... Did... Something. That's beside the point. From what I can tell, we still have each others most resent memory's. I can remember Amy's morning, and a few other drifting thoughts..."
The Doctor suddenly groaned in annoyance. "Don't you humans EVER have energy? And how can you live with one heart?! It's PATHETIC." He walked over and slightly pushed Amy out of the way to look into the reflection on the TARDIS. "Humans." He scoffed. "Pitiful."
River rolled her eye and continued. "We still have our own reflexes but we also have the ones from the body we are in. So. Basically. There are two women in this room who could shoot you in the heart from a mile away." River looked at Amy and smiled.
Rory just sat in silence. To shocked to speak.
The Doctor turned to him. "Now, Pond. I'm going to need my screwdriver..Left pocket there.."
Rory reached into his left pocket and found the Doctor's sonic. As he was handing it to the Doctor, he suddenly jerked it back towards him. "Um..right. No, I think I should have it, now, thanks," Rory said. The Doctor glared at Rory. "Why would you think that?" The doctor thought about it for a minute, then slapped him hand to his head as he realised. "Of coarse! How could I forget? Rory. My body is different from human bodys. My emotions and urges and such are stronger, but with my mind I can contain the small one that are overlooked. But. Because you've never had to do that you're just letting out all the small little things. Such as possessiveness and.. Oh. Oh..oh... Rory."
River looked at the doctor then realised what he was talking about. "Really doctor? Really?" She had an amused tone in her voice.
Rory got an alarmed expression on his face. "What? WHAT?"
The doctor looked at Rory and gave him a fake smile "emotions such as possessiveness and... Being tired... Rory I would say you have about 5.2 minutes to get to some sort of a bedroom..Umm.. Or floor" the doctor suggested.
Suddenly, Rory's eyes began to droop, and his head was sinking. Amy decided to help him up to his room. When they got there, Amy dragged Rory onto the bed, as he was already asleep. She quickly kissed his forehead and left him alone to sleep. She went back to where the others were and sat down. All these body-switching rules came so easily to River and the Doctor. She wished she could understand. As she walked in the doctor and River were discussing some matter. She picked up some of the conversation absent mindedly. She started to subconsciously let her mind drift through her memorys. It wast until she realised she was into rivers memory's before she started to pay attention. She found herself looking into some of rivers mind. She was about to try to think back to earlier when she was snapped out of her day dream by River. "Amy. We've just realised.. I'm also part time lord. So that means.. Well..." Amy suddenly under stood as her eyes grew impossibly heavy.
"Amy. Amy! Listen! You can fight it! Just resist the urge for a minute and then it will pass." River urged.
After a minute Amy began to feel normal again... Well.. As normal as a half Timelord can feel. After she was fully awake again she came to her senses. "Wait. If I could stay awake.. Why couldn't Rory?" Amy asked confused.
"Because. How long do you think it has been since The Doctor slept?" River responded, smirking.
"I see" Amy nodded glancing at the doctor, still not used to the face that he was in her husbands body.
The doctor and river were still trying to figure out what happened to cause this. Amy was off daydreaming and walking around the TARDIS corridors trying to get used to being in Rivers body. Rory finally woke up, he was still extremely tired but he got up anyway. He got up and walked to the console room. "So. Is there anything else I should know about being in a time lords body?" He asked groggily.
The Doctor looked up from River and smiled at him,"Nope! Just...try to control your emotions.. And... Urges..." He said, turning to the scanner so he can type.
Rory stood there for a minute thinking. "This is so strange doctor.. It's so different..wait." His expression turned confused as he turned to river. "So... Who am I married to?" River looked up with an amused expression and added, "I think The Doctor should answer that question."
The Doctor glared at River slightly before saying "That's between you and Amy, Rory." He turned back to the scanner as Amy walked in.
"River?" She asked.
"Yes?" She looked up.
"Why do I have an insane urge to slap the doctor?" She inquired.
River laughed before replying "oh, it'll pass. Try to go into my memory's and find the reasons"
Amy looked at her with an unsure expression before nodding. She closed her eyes in thought.
Minutes later her eyes snapped open. She walked over Rory, and slapped him again, with the same if not more force then before.
"Oh. Sorry Rory. I'm still not used to this.. I don't think I ever will be.." She turned to the Doctor. "Really? How do you 'accidentally' get engaged to a random person?" The Doctor looked at her and chuckled nervously, "oops?" Was his response. Amy shook her head and walked back into the corridor.
"Doctor?" It was Rory this time.
"Yes, Rory?" He looked up from the scanner he had been typing on.
"Can I talk to you about something?" He asked with a worried expression.
The Doctor shifted, but nodded ad followed Rory to the corridor, just out of hearing range.
"Every time I see River..uh.. I mean.. 'Amy', through your eyes..I see... This.. Memory.. Of her. In a chair. With a bunch of wires. And..well.. Is that the day she dies, doctor? That day.. A day that is forever stuck in your head. Locked away from anyone but yourself. What happened that day?" Rory spoke with a sad gaze.
The Doctor looked at Rory, sadness and guilt flashed through his eyes. "Rory. That.. That was.. That was the first time I met River. She sacrificed her life for the lives of thousands. I tried to stop her, but.. She wouldn't let me." The Doctors voice broke slightly.
Rory sighed. Knowing how it felt because of the Doctors memory. "We should go back." The doctor nodded in agreement.
They walked back into the console room, silently. As they walked in to the Console room,
The Doctor started to feel strange, then he realised what was happening. he could feel The one who did this to all of them in the first place sending him a message in his head. "Who else would it have been?" He mumbled under his breath. He began to sway. "Y-You...must...not...trust" he fell to the ground unconscious, unable to finish his sentence.
