The tardis drifted lazily through the time vortex, not really traveling anywhere at the time. Amy lay peacefully asleep in a side room while the doctor remained in the main control room fiddling with wires. Rory, half asleep and still in pajamas stumbled into the main control room squinting at the only lit up part of the room, where the doctor was working.
"Don't you ever sleep?" he asked walking up to the doctor. The doctor whipped around startled, he hadn't heard Rory walk in. Rory took a step back, "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you,"he muttered, though honestly he didn't understand why a 1000 year old alien would be scared by anything. Then he remembered that he himself was 2000 years old and was still scared of lots of things. A wonder how easy it was to forget that sometimes, he still felt like a 32 year old.
"No no no don't worry about it," the Doctor assured him. Then after a few moments he asked, "Is something wrong?"
"No nothing's wrong," Rory said hesitantly, "But um, I Um," he stuttered.
The Doctor raised his eyebrows, well, he didn't have eyebrows, but he raised the place where they would be if he did have them. Rory fidgeted and reached into his pocket.
"I found this yesterday and I was wondering if it was yours." he said holding out something in his hand.
The Doctor gazed at him quizzically,
"You found something you thought was mine and you needed to give it to me now when you're half asleep?" Then, suddenly interested he said, "What is it?!" and walked over to Rory. He peered into Rory's hands and turned suddenly pale, it was a fobwatch, with circular gallifreyan written all over it.
