Perfect Date

In which The Doctor is determined to send Amy and Rory on the perfect Valentines date

Characters: Amy, Rory, Eleventh Doctor

"Happy Valentines Day!" Rory announced as he entered their bedroom, carrying a tray of pancakes. It was Valentines Day and he'd decided to make Amy breakfast in bed. "I brought pancakes." He said proudly. Amy sat up in bed, letting him place the tray on her lap. "Thank you." She said, kissing him on the cheek, "They look delicious." Rory sat down on the bed next to her and she snuggled up next to him. "Oh look! You brought me strawberries!" Amy exclaimed. She popped one of the red berries eagerly into her mouth. "You are the best husband in the universe."

Rory was about to respond, but was cut off by the sound of the TARDIS materializing. "Oh no." He muttered. "Of all the days of the year he could show up." Amy said. They watched as the TARDIS materialized in front of them. The doors opened and The Doctor emerged from inside. "It's a bit cramped in here isn't it." He said. He looked up to see the two of them together in their bed. His face turned bright red, and he slapped a hand over his eyes.

"Doctor! The bedroom rule!" Amy scolded him. "Are you even dressed?" The Doctor asked her. "Yes." Amy reassured him, "we're both dressed." The Doctor cautiously removed his hands from his eyes. "No you're not!" He objected. "You're still in your nightie!" Amy rolled her eyes. She was tempted to remind him that when she'd first run off with him he hadn't objected to the fact that she'd been in her nightie. In fact he hadn't let her change out of it for who knows how long. Of course she hadn't been married then.

"Doctor why are you here?" Rory asked. "Why am I here?" The Doctor sounded offended. "I'm here to take you traveling. Why else would I be here?" He asked. "It's Valentines Day!" Rory objected. "Silly holiday." The Doctor told him. "Just an excuse to sell cards and chocolate." Amy sighed. "Can't you come back later? We've got plans." The Doctor frowned. "Cancel them." He told her. "Or don't. I can get you back on time." He promised. "Oh no. I don't trust your time keeping skills." Amy told him. "I'm a timelord. Time keeping is our thing." The Doctor told her. "Twelve years." Amy reminded him. "I got you back in time for your wedding." The Doctor countered. "Which you were late to." Amy reminded him. "Touché."

"What sort of plans have you got?" The Doctor asked them. "We've got dinner reservations at a nice restaurant in London." Rory said proudly. "Boring!" The Doctor yawned. "I can do much better." Amy glanced skeptically at him. "What do you mean you can do better?" She asked. "I'm going to plan you two the perfect date." The Doctor told them. "Trust me. You'll love it." He promised. "Should we?" Amy asked. "I guess it can't hurt." Rory said. "Brilliant! You two go get changed. Something nice if you can." The Doctor told them as he re entered the TARDIS. "You can use the TARDIS wardrobe if you like." He added. "Thank you Raggedy Man." Amy smiled. "You're the best." Rory added. "Don't mess this up."

"Paris France!" The Doctor announced. "The city of love!" He threw open the doors of the TARDIS, revealing the beautiful city outside. "It's absolutely beautiful." Amy said. "Is that the Louvre?" Rory asked. Sure enough, The Doctor had parked the TARDIS right in front of the Louvre art museum. "You two will be joining a tour while I set up the rest of your date." The Doctor told them. "Any chance you're gonna tell us what the rest of the date is gonna be?" Amy asked. "Nope." The Doctor told her. "Do you know what the rest of the date is gonna be?" Rory asked. "Nope." The Doctor told him. "Have fun!"

"How was I supposed to know that the Louvre was going to be robbed today?" The Doctor said defensively. They were back in the TARDIS, Amy and Rory having given up on Paris. "We were they'd hostage Doctor!" Amy exclaimed. "They knocked me out!" Rory said, holding a nice pack to the rather large bump on his head. "I almost died. Again!" The Doctor sighed. "But you didn't. I got you out of there successfully." Both Amy and Rory glared at him. "So I guess this means I'm going to have to cancel your reservation?" He asked. "Don't worry. I have a backup plan."

The Doctor's backup plan was dinner on the orient express. In space. "I've got two free tickets. Got them a while back, but I ever had an occasion to use them. They've probably expired by now, but there are some perks to owning a time machine." The Doctor told them. "Sounds fun." Amy said. "Fun and not dangerous." Rory added. "Great! You two go get changed. Period wear. Nineteen twenties themed." The Doctor told them. "I'll go deal with the ticket office."

"Quite a stroke of bad luck this time." The Doctor said as he re entered the TARDIS. "It seems that there was an incident with a Mummy, and the train sort of crashed." Amy stared at him in disbelief. "You're kidding right?" She asked. "I'm afraid not," The Doctor told her, "You two look nice though." He said, referring to their 1920s inspired outfits. "Although I suppose you won't be needing the outfits any more." Neither Amy or Rory looked amused. "Not to worry! I have a backup backup plan."

"Woman Wept. Lovely place. Really very beautiful. Went there with a friend once. She loved it." The Doctor rambled. "See there's a vast ocean on this particular planet, and because of." The Doctor paused, "Well you wouldn't understand the science, but there's this thing that happens with the sun, and all the water freezes. You'll see." He explained. "Sounds wonderful." Amy told him. She didn't want to get her hopes up, but she really did like the idea of frozen waves. "Let's hope you can get us there." Rory said. "Hush. You'll jinx it." Amy scolded.

"I don't understand!" The Doctor exclaimed. "It should be right here. These are the right coordinates. I'm absolutely sure of it." The TARDIS doors had been flung open upon their arrival to what should have been Woman Wept. Outside, however, there was nothing but the vast emptiness of space. No planets to be found. "Maybe it moved." Rory suggested. "Stranger things have happened." The Doctor frowned at him. "It doesn't make sense. How could a whole planet just up and disappear? " he asked. "That just isn't normal." Amy laughed. "Since when have we ever done normal."

"Maybe you should just drop us off back at home." Rory suggested. "We can still make our dinner reservations." The Doctor shook his head. "No! I promised you the perfect date, and I'm going to give it to you." He paced back in forth in front of the console, trying to come up with a backup plan for the backup backup plan. He could take them to Midnight! No that wouldn't be safe. Last trip there hadn't ended well for him. They could visit Vastra and Jenny. Although spending time in Victorian London with a lizard woman from the dawn of time, who looked a lot like the lizard woman who'd killed Rory one wasn't exactly the epitome of romance. Besides, Strax would be there. The Library? No. Books didn't scream romance. There was also the fact that their daughter had died there, or would eventually. No he couldn't take them to what was essentially River's tomb. Wait a minute...that was it! He had a plan.

"Doctor where are you taking us?" Amy asked. "Shhh. It's a surprise." The Doctor told her. "Did you really have to blindfold us?" Rory asked as he stumbled out if the TARDIS. "I'm having flashbacks about the Louvre." The Doctor sighed. "I told you it's a surprise." He carefully led them down a long hallway and through a doorway. "Okay you can take the blindfolds off now." He told them. The first thing Amy and Rory saw when they took off their blindfolds was The Doctor. He was carrying a picnic basket and a white and red checked table cloth. Amy was about to ask if they were having a picnic indoors when a voice interrupted her. "Mom? Dad?"

Both Amy and Rory turned around at lightning speed to discover River standing in her prison cell behind them. "Melody!" Amy cried joyfully. She ran to her daughter to hug her as best as she could through the bars if her cell. "Let me help with that." The Doctor said quickly. He soniced the lock open and Amy was able to push open the door of the cell. Within an instant the two women were hugging each other with tears streaming down their faces. River broke away from her mother and ran to hug her father. "Thank you so much Doctor." Amy said wiping at the tears on her cheeks. "I figured you'd like seeing your daughter for once. I figured we could have a little family picnic."

They spread out the blanket that The Doctor had brought, and sat together eating food and sharing stories. There was nothing in the world that could've wiped the smiles off of Amy and Rory's faces. They didn't often get to visit their daughter. Whenever they did there was always some sort of trouble involved. Even though they spent their evening in prison it was still the best valentines day they'd ever had.

A/n: I wanted to write something fluffy for Valentines Day. So here it is. I know it's late, but at least I'm posting it (unlike my Christmas one shot)

I enjoy referencing things that happen in the show in my stories. In case you missed my references I'll explain them here. I mentioned the events of "Mummy on the Orient Express" as the reason they couldn't get on the train. Also, Woman Wept can be found I the medusa arcade where it was transported by the Daleks during the episode "Journey's End"

I love hearing your feedback. If you have any suggestions for one shots please feel free to PM me or leave a Reveiw.

Stay Fantastic
