A/N: This is my first attempt at writing anything Doctor Who. I own nothing except this idea.
Obviously an AU.
Amelia Pond was a dreamer.
She had always felt wrong, being in her time. Living without parents was a hard task. Living with a cranky aunt was even worse. Amelia was never social, and the young girl often felt as if she were alone.
No, that was not right. Amelia did have one other friend at her primary school, but she wasn't really close to her. Yes, Amelia Pond was friends with Clara Oswald, who also seemed to be a girl out of her time. They sat together at lunch and daydreamed and occasionally chatted, but not as much as the other girls in their year did.
But barring Clara, Amelia Pond had no friends.
So she dreamed them up. She created them in her mind and wrote their adventures in her heart.
Amelia wanted three friends when she was older, and she knew precisely how they would act, what they looked like, and what they would do together.
There was one, who was amazingly quirky and astonishing at times. He had an odd sense of style and always wore a bow tie and some strange hat. He looked young, but the wisdom in his eyes surpassed everyone's on Earth. Despite this, he had an aura of playfulness surrounding him.
Then there was another lad, who seemed shy and slightly geeky at times but was always willing to protect what he cared for. Amelia felt that this boy would love her through everything that they went through together.
Finally, there was a girl. She had massively curly hair, sassy personality, perfect aim, and two names. There was some sort of mystery surrounding this girl, one that would take Amelia and Shy Boy a long time to figure out. Amelia still hadn't worked out what exactly that mystery would be.
Amelia knew in her mind that Bow Tie Man, Shy Boy, and herself traveled together in a strange blue box, exploring places that no one else could, fighting off strange creatures, and defending the defenseless. Occasionally, they'd be assisted in their mission by Sassy Girl. They would pass through, help out, and learn. It would be the life that Amelia always dreamed of- traveling wherever she wanted with friends- with family, you could say.
Amelia Pond dreamed of the day when she would join her friends- friends that she knew were out there, in the big, big universe.
Before bed one night, Amelia knelt by her bedside and began to say her prayers.
"Dear Lord, please protect Mummy and Daddy up wherever you are. Please make Auntie Elizabeth less cranky. Thank you for making me. I just want to ask you to do something for me, please? I want three friends that will take care of me, three friends who will become my family. Please, God, give me this. I will be a good, good girl- I just want my friends to come to me, because I know that they're out there. Amen," she concluded, closing her eyes as she wished very hard for her imagination to come to life, as she hoped for a blue box to land in her yard and her three friends to step out and offer her a space with them.
They never came.
