"I'll see you again, when the Pandorica Opens."

"That's a fairytale."

"Aren't we all?" - Flesh and Blood

"Does it ever bother you, Amy, that your life doesn't make any sense?" –The Pandorica Opens

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

The Pandorica Closed.

The final battle had been lost.

An alliance of enemies.

Surprisingly enough, the Doctor was still conscious within the high-security prison.

"A trap The Doctor couldn't resist."

"Constructed from the memories extrapolated from you companion."

For how much longer he'd be conscious, he wasn't sure. The TARDIS exploded in the near, yet far-off future with River Song in it. Or did she escape?

He'd never know.

What about Amy? And Rory? Had his greatest enemies destroyed the pair as well?

The Pandorica had to reopen eventually, right?

The Doctor could only hope that it would.

The end of the universe took place with great irony on the date that was supposed to be the happiest day of Amy and Rory's lives. Their wedding.

He had failed them. And River. And all of time and space for that matter.

"My favorite story was Pandora's box when I was little. Pandora, Pandorica. They're almost the same."

"If you only knew how similar they truly were, Amy." The Doctor muttered.

The Doctor knew the story of Pandora's Box. Apparently, had he known it just a bit better, he'd have seen this coming, maybe.

Pandora had opened the box after she heard the voices within it. Maybe, Amy would come looking for him and hear his cries.

He tried screaming for her for several minutes; but gave up when he realized that it was futile.

Those Romans were Autons, puppets of the Nestene Consciousness. Unfortunately, he had a feeling that Rory was one of them.

He felt sick to his stomach.

"Go get her." He had smiled tossing the ring to Rory.

How could he have been so thick?

"I died and the next thing I knew, I was Roman."

Amy could quite possibly be dead right now; and it was all [The Doctor's] fault.

"No. That's impossible. Amy plays too big a role in this to die now." He thought aloud.

"Two worlds. Pick one, and this nightmare will end."

The Doctor had, had his suspicions that the Dream Lord would eventually resurface sooner or later. But the real question, well, one of the more pressing questions that bothered the Doctor at that precise moment: was there a possibility that the Valeyard was waking up from dormancy? And are the Dream Lord and the Valeyard one in the same?

"'k never mind. That's two questions." The Doctor spoke aloud.

River had said that the TARDIS was being controlled by an external force; but what if it was within the TARDIS?

"Now then, the prognosis is this: if you die in the dream, you wake up in reality, healthy recovery in next to no time. Ask me what happens if you die in reality."

No, it couldn't be completely possible. Could it?

"Notice everything."

Amy, nearly every outfit, well, actually, every outfit she wore on their travels, had the color red incorporated. Kind of reminding The Doctor of Little Red Riding Hood.

"Fairytale."

Rose was the Bad Wolf.

"Duck pond with no ducks."

If this was all a dream. It could explain the cracks and the bits and pieces that didn't make sense.

"Twelve years and four psychiatrists!"

The Doctor scoffed, "unimaginative realists tearing apart a little girl's world."

His eyes lit up. "That's it! Dangerous, but possible. If we're stuck in Amy's subconscious, then the cracks are the wounds of reality colliding with her strong belief in fairytales. But why use the cracks to cause silence and the end of the universe? Why destroy the TARDIS? The cracks are getting wider because Amy's fairytale life is under threat and her subconscious is trying to retain it all. Oh, I need a bigger head! No, careful what I wish for."

He looked around. The only light was the very dim light from the shackles holding him in the Pandorica.

"Amy, wake up!" He shouted.
