Red: In which the Doctor is finally a ginger.

They are very hard to miss, the two of them. Matching flaming red hair, wearing the biggest smiles the universe has ever beheld, running everywhere hand in hand.
"You know, Amelia, ten different faces and never, never have I been ginger until now! We were meant to find each other, you and I."
When they arrive in Balflam, the islanders bow down to them, pushing trinkets and fruit and scarves and flowers into their hands. Descendants of the Fire Gods, children of Befletara, they say. The Doctor explains to Amy that this particular gene pool has not had gingers for millennia, and worshipped the living volcano in the centre of the island.
"Gods! It's much better than being told we have no souls, I'll give you that."
She flips her fiery hair as she laughs with him.
When the living volcano threatens to explode, Amy and the Doctor pay Befletara a visit. Amy leans over his edge and coaxes Bef (whose real name is Luke) not to blow up because there were a lot of people down there who loved him and they would die, then no one would be there to love him and he would be very lonely, wouldn't he?
Amy burns nearly all her hair off saving the island and her wild red mane is left extremely short and singed, barely red with blackened ends. She knows it's silly, and she knows it's just hair and it will grow back, and she just saved an entire island, but she cries anyway and insists on wearing a hooded sweatshirt for the rest of the trip, even though Balflamic temperature is forty degrees too hot for that kind of clothing.
After she snaps at the Doctor for the tenth time for pulling off her hood, he gives her a frustrated look and pushes her into the shade and tells her to wait. He disappears and she swelters in the heat annoyed at herself and annoyed at him and missing her hair.
In ten minutes he returns with a shaved head and a wide grin. She gasps. His red locks are gone.
Amy cries again and lunges at him, guilty and apologetic and knowing if there was anyone who loved their hair more than she loved hers, it was the Doctor.
"Wait you haven't even seen the best part-"
The Doctor turns around and a ridiculous smiley face is shaved in a pattern on his head.
She bursts out laughing and discards her sweatshirt.
