TDMFALC

Rory sat on the park bench a little ways away from the spot the TARDIS last landed, the memory was one he wouldn't forget. He and Amy had been in the middle of signing divorce papers when the doctor had shown up after a sudden attack from the Daleks, and the adventure that'd awaited was not what he'd expected.

They'd escaped the Dalek asylum with the help of a girl named Oswin, whom herself was actually a Dalek, he and Amy had shared a moment somewhere in there too. This time though, their relationship remained unsalvageable, even the doctor was at a loss of how lecture them about it. They no longer bothered with counselling or writing about their feelings, Amy left him instead. In the middle of the night the sound of the TARDIS whirred to life outside their home, Amy soon awoke and peered out the window. It hadn't even been 24 hours since their trek to the asylum.

The TARDIS had appeared only a mere few feet away from an old park bench, the head of her raggedy man had popped out scanning the area and then spoke "well this isn't right " he shook his head "river did you touch something" he yelled back into the TARDIS " no sweetie" the familiar voice came faint from inside.

Rory was fast asleep in the depths of his thoughts and dreams, he thought that maybe him and Amy, that maybe they were okay now-that everything was alright again ...but as fate would have it he was wrong. Amy fled the room and skipped steps as she grabbed her sweater and threw it on with a jean skirt and T-shirt she grabbed a pair of lace up boots and swiftly skipped outside over to the blue box. That was the end of Amy and Rory Williams-pond.

Rory awoke the next day to see a wedding ring attached to divorce papers and a note on Amy's side of the bed. His hands had forced him to immediately pick the ring and papers up while his fingers proceeded to tremble as his grip tightened on the items: "I'm sorry, I need to live, to adventure, to be out there. – A" His eyes scanned the words and began to flood with tears. Did Amy think he didn't enjoy the adventures and the running? Of course sometimes he needed a break but didn't she need one too? Maybe she enjoyed the danger; she hadn't seemed to mind risking their relationship anyway.

"You know what is dangerous about you? It's not that you make people take risks, it's that you make them want to impress you. You make it so they don't want to let you down. You have no idea how dangerous you make people to themselves when you're around."

The danger that was around when they entered the TARDIS , that was his worry –of losing Amy because of the situations the doctor would put them in but it was clear now that was what Amy wanted and the doctor was happy to oblige.

"Bastard!" Rory stood up from the bench and yelled letting his thoughts slip from the memories, He yelled again as the sky slowly became dawn, he didn't know who might've heard nor did he care, he could only direct his attention to the anger that was rising inside of him since the day he had met the man. He didn't care if he saved people; he didn't care if he saved the world every now and then because he had destroyed his world-Rory's whole world – a perfect world in which he and Amy resided, happily. He could feel the tears sting his skin as they spilled down his cheeks " You ruin everything!" he knew that those words were for the doctor –the man that took his wife to run away with him, The Doctor didn't think about him though, how it affected Rory. "The last centurion" no it was all about the girl who waited for him.

Months later Roy kept finding himself waking up to the empty space next to him, he'd moved to a flat in the center of London now and was working as a nurse still. Every day a patient would come in ask him how he was and he would reply "I'm great how about you ?" with a fake grin plastered on his face , in truth he wished he could go burry himself in a hole and fill it with dirt – but hadn't that already happened? The day Amy left he'd found himself choking and drowning inside the centre of his empty chest with no one there to save or encourage him to swim. He entered the hospital just the same as yesterday and retreated to the front desk for some instructions or news. "Ello ladies" he smiled as he walked up and greeted them "hello Rory" the younger one –Claire with brown hair and chocolate eyes said and rolled her eyes at him and smiled, "anything for me?" he questioned " yup!" she popped the p "there's an injured patient in room B1A9D who needs to be taken for examination in room W9OLF4" she finished and waved her hand for him to hurry. "Thanks" he said as he walked away to attend whomever awaited him.

As he entered the room B1A9D he came face to face with a pair of light brown eyes and a cheeky smile "hi" he greeted, "hello,," she looked away holding her arm in obvious pain. "I'm Rory – I see you've broken your arm now have you?" he kneeled down to look at the swollen part of her arm. "Ya" she said shyly, he took his hand and pressed a slight amount of pressure on it and squeezed lightly "ehhmf.." she gritted her teeth holding back a sound of hurt. "Sorry" Rory looked up at her with concern "s'alright" she nodded at him , "so how'd you manage this?" he stared at the purple and swollen skin, "oh you know...dangers my thing" she said sarcastically "really?" Rory asked knowing that wasn't the truth "if I told you –you wouldn't believe me" the blonde looked away."Don't be so sure, I've seen things you wouldn't imagine" he laughed holding back a grimace at the thought of the doctor and Amy. "Well I guess lots of strange things happen at the hospital then" she giggled "yea and that" he looked away "and?" she asked "tell me more."

She leaned over to listen. "Not until you tell me how that happened" he stood up and pointed towards her arm and crossed his arms waiting for an answer. "I was using my time manipulator and somehow ended up in a tree and before I noticed where I'd landed, I fell" she stated and immediately looked down shyly, regretting have blurted the sentence out- knowing he would probably think she was crazy, maybe even mental. "What?" his eyes widened –it couldn't be- how would she have a time manipulator-why would she have one, what if she was friends with the doctor? No she couldn't be, he didn't like that technology-something about it being a rip off. "Do I really have to repeat myself?" she interrupted his thoughts, "no!" Rory said a little too loudly

"I believe you" He went back to kneel in front of her "you're not acting all doctor and therapist here are you?" she looked at him a little oddly "no –I really have seen things you could not imagine" he said thoughtfully as he placed his hand on her knee. "you're not kiddin are you?" she said dumbstruck "nope" he winked "here I'll walk you down to room W9OLF4" he said as he held out his arm for her. She stared for a moment, "I mean if you want " he took his hand to rub the back of his neck. "Please" she answered him as she got up and they wrapped their arms together and headed down the hall.

"well here you go!" Rory perked up and bowed as he let rose examine the cast on her arm "You're weird" she laughed a little and studied him "well thanks" he said and rolled his eyes and sat down next to her on the examination table. "In a good way!" she hit his shoulder with her good arm "well I guess that's okay, too." He smiled at her warmly, "so time manipulator huh?" he pushed her right arm with his shoulder. "umm, yea." she looked away "cool" he smiled as she whipped her head to look back at him "so what have you seen –you know the things I couldn't imagine?" she gazed a questioning glance at him "I've met Cybermen, Dlakes, silence, vampire fish," Rory started to list things, then he looked at the young women "what about you?" "Oh" she smiled "well, let me see-living plastic, the last human, -even though she really wasn't –ummm, oh! Daleks, Cybermen, a werewolf, cat nurses, Lucifer, ghosts, lots actually , Slytheen –" "Okay I know you've met billions of aliens and what not." Rory interrupted her.

"Oh and a man- an alien-but a man" she looked up at Rory and smiled "really" he looked at her "yes, a man who gave me the world showed me the stars – a mad man with a box, an insane smile and dangerous look in his eye. A man who hungered and craved adventure and danger, we fell in love-er, at least I fell in love with him..." she trailed off with a sadness in her voice. "What happened?" Rory wanted to know "twice I was left in a parallel world with 2 crappy goodbyes, first time the walls closed because he had to open the void and there were consequences with us all be affected by time energy and so he burned up a sun to say goodbye.. I Didn't even get to hear the last thing he was going to say.

I worked with Torchwood in my universe and made a dimension canon and found him again only for a duplicate of him- but human to be created, a sorta'- metacrisis. He left me back in the parallel world with my family and the metacrisis version of him, so that I could have the life he never could". I married the duplicate but in my heart I knew he wasn't the real man I'd loved, he had the same memories but that was it, turns out he cheated on me and was rather violent, so... I left –fled the home we'd made and went back to torchwood. I stole some things and upgraded the time manipulator and that's how I got here. She finished with tears in her eyes "I'm sorry" Rory rubbed her arm "what are you doing now then?" Rory asked her "I'm looking for the real man -that gave me galaxies to wander through-not some dingy duplicate" she gritted her teeth as she spoke, anger rising in her voice. "I met a man like that, he took my wife-well, ex wife" he looked down at his feet dangling over the side of the table "he took my ex-wife and I to see the stars and explore, I was afraid of losing her because of the danger he put us in turns out she never wanted a break from it though" Rory said quietly "what happened?" the sweet blonde and brown eyed girl asked him. "She, uh, left during the night and ran off with him and I haven't seen her since... That's okay though." He forced a short, painful laugh and glanced at her with his eyes watering "oh Rory!" she exclaimed "no that is not!" she wrapped her arms around him and squeezed him,"thank you.." he said as he let the tears dribble down his chin and hugged her back, he didn't care that she was a patient he'd only just met- they shared a bond in a way, the travels and the TARDIS, it linked them together somehow, and that was good enough for him.

"well you need to let that arm rest" he announced as they let go of each other "yea.. " she agreed "I assume you have nowhere to stay?" he smiled questioningly as she looked up at him in agreement "you-umm-you can stay with me, I-if you want?" Rory rubbed the back of his head looking down at his feet. He was admittedly quite lonely at home and was a tad embarrassed for offering since they were barely acquainted. "Is, that okay?" she asked "of course!" he piped up "I never did get your name?" he looked down at her, waiting for her to tell him "Rose" she smiled, he recognized the name.

"Rose Tyler" she smiled with her tongue poking out between her teeth, then he knew –The Doctor used to let the name slip his tongue once in awhile-when he need hope or while he was sleeping or looking sad, a name Rory had heard before- the name he never let River overhear ... Rose Tyler
