OUTSIDE TARDIS

We see the TARDIS materialize on a sunny beach. AMY exits, dressed in sunglasses, shorts, and a tank. RORY follows, and finally THE DOCTOR, carrying a surfboard.

RORY

Where are we then?

DOCTOR

Oh Rory. Trust you not to recognize your own planet!

RORY

(slightly irritated)

Fine. When are we exactly?

AMY

Yeah. And where are all the people?

DOCTOR retrieves Sonic Screwdriver from pocket and scans beach, turning in the process and knocking RORY over with surfboard.

DOCTOR

We appear to be about... 2.7 Billion years in your past.

RORY

(while brushing off sand)

Hold on, does this mean there could be dinosaurs?

DOCTOR

If we're lucky!

RORY immediately turns back toward the TARDIS but is stopped by AMY.

AMY

Come on, don't be such a baby. Let's go SWIMMING!

AMY drags RORY off camera towards the beach. DOCTOR follows, still carrying the surfboard.

BEACH

AMY and RORY splash around in the water, having a good time. DOCTOR tries to surf with surfboard still in the sand.

OCEAN

AMY and RORY balance on the surfboard in the water. AMY knocks RORY off.

BEACH, LATER

AMY and RORY recline on beach towels, umbrella between them. DOCTOR sits next to them, building a sandcastle.

AMY

Doctor, something is wrong.

DOCTOR

Yes, it's this sand! The consistency is all wrong. It keeps getting all clumpy-wumpy!

AMY

No, it's the beach. It's so quiet. Nothing's happening. It's boring.

RORY

There's nothing wrong with boring. I like being able to relax without getting attacked by aliens or... dying.

DOCTOR

Amy's got a point. Who needs quiet when you've got buttons that need pressing. Speaking of buttons that need pressing, I found a new one on the TARDIS console and I'm itching to try it out. Care to join me?

DOCTOR exits to the TARDIS with AMY. RORY turns, hesitant, then grudgingly follows.

INSIDE TARDIS

AMY, RORY, and DOCTOR all gather round the console, looking at a white button as round as a golf ball.

DOCTOR

Shall we have a go?

AMY reaches to press the button. RORY grabs her hand.

RORY

Hold on. Is there any possibility this could kill us?

DOCTOR

(Excited)

Absolutely!

DOCTOR hits button with flourish. Nothing happens.

AMY

Well... That was exciting.

Doctor obsessively presses button.

Doctor

Come on! Just do something! Anything? Please?

AMY

Rory, go check outside.

RORY goes to TARDIS doors and looks outside.

RORY

We're still on the beach. But it's gotten cold. I think it's snowing.

AMY

Don't be stupid. We're on a beach in the middle of summer.

RORY

Yeah, well that doesn't explain the snowflakes and clouds.

BEACH, SNOWING

DOCTOR runs outside. It really is snowing. AMY and RORY follow.

DOCTOR

Snowing on a beach? Well, it's not as fun as almost exploding, but still. You've got to admit it is pretty cool. I've got a snow button!

DOCTOR tries to catch snowflakes on his tongue. The snow it big and the flakes are heavy, coming down fast. He grabs AMY and RORY's hand, pulling them to the ground to make snow/sand angels. They laugh.

DOCTOR

Wait a second! Snow... 2.7 Billion years...

DOCTOR jumps up, grabs AMY and RORY and drags them back to the TARDIS.

INSIDE TARDIS

DOCTOR pushes buttons and TARDIS begins to disappear.

AMY

What's wrong? Is there something dangerous about a little snow?

DOCTOR

No, not a little bit but...

DOCTOR swings the doors the doors open to reveal the beach, completely covered in ice and snow. Nearly unrecognizable.

DOCTOR

I think we may have caused the first Ice Age...

AMY, RORY, and DOCTOR peer out the TARDIS doors at the snowy wasteland.

The End.
