"Now I think there's been a little misunderstanding" The Doctor attempted to explain. The samurai warriors, all 40 of which had their blades pointed at The Doctor's throat, begged to differ.
"You see, that ancient sacred urn was in fact a prison, containing the soul of an ancient alien warlord who was a bit cross and wanted to escape and destroy the universe so you see, I had to smash it." The Doctor attempted to explain. "If I hadn't there would be forty piles of gloop in front of me instead of forty very, very angry samurai." The Samurai edged closer. The Doctor gulped.
"Whenever you're ready Amy!" He yelled.
"Yeah, give us a chance!" came a muffled female voice from below. "Rory! Do you have the fuse?"
Another voice, this time a man's answered. "I thought you had it?"
A groan was quickly followed by "AHA! Here it is!"
"Where was it?"
The man's voice mumbled something.
"What was that?" The woman asked.
"It was in my back pocket" the man replied, a little louder this time.
"Give it here!" The woman snapped clearly annoyed.
"Ok! Giving you the fuse!" the man said a hint of fear in his voice.
After a few moments the woman yelled "Ok Doctor! We're ready!"
"Finally! Honestly Ponds, I can't ask you to do one simple thing!" The Doctor turned back to the Samurai. "Well then! I shan't say it wasn't fun! I'll probably be back in a few hundred years so give the emperor all my best! Oh, and you'd better tell him that I said his hair will grow back, probably. And that his nose will too. Then again, on second thoughts, best not tell him I was here. Oh, you might want to tell him there was a blue box here though. It'll probably save your lives. And I suppose I best warn you that there's a glowing green bloke tied up in the cupboard. Just give him some tea and he'll be gone in the morning. I'll make sure of that. So, that's me done! Ta Ta! Amy... NOW!"
There was a massive explosion which knocked the samurai onto the floor. By the time they got up and the smoke had cleared there was a massive hole left in the floor while a blue box disappeared into nothingness. If it wasn't for the hole and the smashed urn there would have been nothing to suggest that The Doctor and his friends had ever been there at all.
As the TARDIS tumbled through the Time Vortex, The Doctor was busy plotting the spot for his next adventure.
"Well, that was fun!" He said to his friends Amy and Rory.
Amy, who was covered head-to-toe in soot, raised an eyebrow.
"Well it was fun for me, maybe not so much for you two." The Doctor murmured.
"I'm going to change." Amy called as she climbed the steps at the back of the console room. "And if you land, make sure it's somewhere clean!"
Rory gestured at Amy's retreating back. "I'd better see if she's ok." He said and followed her.
The Doctor sighed. Ever since Amy and Rory's daughter Melody had been kidnapped by the movement known as the Silence and then raised as a weapon to kill him, The Doctor found that Amy had been spending less time with him and seemed distant almost. She kept telling the Doctor that she didn't blame him but the Doctor knew that deep down, she did in a way. The Doctor knew what it was like to lose a child. While Melody was still alive and was currently studying Archaeology under the alias of River Song, Amy had lost those years. She had missed Melody's first steps, her first words and her whole life. The Doctor intended to speak to Amy about it but things kept getting in the way, namely Killer Dolls in a little boy's cupboard and then there being two Amys. The Doctor looked down at the TARDIS console. As if to show that she understood what he was feeling, she hummed a little under his touch. He smiled. Good old sexy. Good old, dependable sexy.
"Doctor?"
The Doctor turned. Amy was stood at the top of the steps.
"Doctor I'm sorry for... I'm sorry for blaming you."
"Oh Pond. I should be the one who's sorry. If it wasn't for me they wouldn't have taken Melody. If it wasn't for me they would have left you alone."
"No. Don't you ever, ever, say that. There's only one thing you should be sorry for."
"Oh yeah. And what's that?" The Doctor asked, intrigued.
Amy stepped closer to him. "You need to be sorry... for wearing that ridiculous bow tie. GET RID!"
"This!" The Doctor asked confused. "But this is cool! This is..."
"Completely and utterly terrible." Amy finished for him. She laughed. She hadn't laughed in a while.
"What's so funny?" Rory asked as he walked down the stairs.
"Oh, it's nothing." Amy smiled at him. "So Doctor, where next?"
"I have absolutely no idea. Let's let her decide shall we?" The Doctor pressed a button and the familiar groans of the TARDIS filled the console rooms and the entire room began to shake. Rory and Amy grabbed onto anything that looked remotely stable.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Yelled Rory as The Doctor dashed around the room pressing buttons and pulling levers that Rory was sure the Doctor didn't know what half of them did.
