Prompt: Starry Night
Amy, still in her nightie, dangles her feet out the doors of the TARDIS. The doctor has run away to check on something, and so there she sits, having just saved Starship UK, gazing staring out into the vast expanse of starry sky.
It is amazing to think of what the future humans were capable of, but Amy wanted the present. One simple pout, and the Doctor reluctantly returns them to the 21th century ("The 21th Century, are you insane? We just came from there!").
But as amazing as Starship UK is, that great land of adventure, it's not her country. There, miles beneath her slippered feet, rotates the planet she calls home. She's never been content in Leadworth, with its duck-less duck pond and boring atmosphere, but there is something familiar of the curvature of the earth, the movement of the clouds, the beating of the sun.
Suspended in a celestial mobile, the earth tilts and turns unassumingly, and Amy can't help but wonder if Rory is looking up at the same sky.
