Ok, things will become clearer as the story develops, and sorry for the complete lack of action and angst etc, I'm going through all the important things first, then I'll get to fulfilling the summaries promises. But for now, I am going to be leaving the second character a mystery for as long as possible without making this too hard to write and/or read. And I shall warn ye now; all is not what it seems... *vanishes in a puff of smoke leaving an echo-y cackle* Enjoy

Amy had noticed it. She had always seen the slight twinkle in his eye for her. She could see it; see the love that was there. It was such a warm little spark, such a safe haven of hope. But beyond that hopeful twinkle, she could see his hidden past. Amy could tell by the way he was so alive around her, the way he got so easily concerned for her; that he truly cared about her, that he really did love her.

Although try as she might, Amy could not make herself understand why. She didn't understand why he loved her. She didn't want him to love her. Amy was fine with Rory, and she knew how love worked, so she didn't understand how the Doctor, her Doctor, could love someone that didn't love him back.

The Doctor looked at Amy, waiting for her to say something. She was being unusually quiet lately, as if there was something troubling her. He thought it best to leave her. The incident with the Dream Lord was probably just bothering her. He was just about to prepare the TARDIS to set off in search of adventure when she spoke suddenly.

"Doctor?" She questioned, making sure he was listening.

"Yes Pond?"

"Can we visit my parents today? I mean, actually see them, and talk?" She seemed sad, as if looking back in nostalgia, although unable to find the happiness in the thoughts.

"Well, there are certain rules with time travel, which you must obey. And the single most important rule is this..." and so he went on, telling her all about his adventures and mistakes letting Rose see her father. But Amy, beautiful, stubborn Amy, she would have none of it. She just kept interrupting , saying how she wouldn't be like Rose, she would just look, listen, get to know them a little, not change anything, just have a visit; she even tried pulling at his heart strings, eventually winning him over with "I never really got to know my parents see..."

They were greeted by an unusually sunny day for Leadworth. The warm summer breeze floating through their hair, and for a moment, Amy thought the Doctor had got his destination wrong again, but then she looked around her, she truly looked, and she found that this was not the Leadworth she had left Rory in, but a much simpler place with old fashioned cars and fewer shops. And Amy knew that for once, the Doctor's wonderful time machine would fit right in.

They walked over to the village green, intrigued by what they saw there. There was a large group of people all dressed in summer hats and traditional 60s clothing. There seemed to be some sort of village party or something.

Amongst the crowd, Amy saw a shock of brilliant ginger hair, bright enough to rival her own, dressed all in white, in the arms of a handsome young man. She felt an unnatural happiness, pitted with sorrow. She knew that she her raggedy Doctor had taken her to the nicest time to meet her parents; their wedding day. The group of people were all dancing and eating a delicate white cake, enjoying the summer wedding.

For the rest of that afternoon, Amy was in heaven, finally getting to know her parents. She was sad to leave them behind when she left, but she knew that she couldn't betray the Doctor's trust, he was too important to her.

Seeing her parents in such a happy, love-filled place, she couldn't help let her mind wander back to the Doctor. She knew that it wasn't proper love that the two of them shared. It couldn't be. Not with the way they were. She didn't think she would ever understand the Doctor's love for her. She guessed that if she were a Time Lord, she would understand. But not Amy, Amy wouldn't understand, because Amy didn't know the love that is forged in the Temporal Schism itself.

Sorry it's so short, but it really needs to end there, so yeh, I'm not very good at the whole adventure part of Dr Who fics, but this is my first one. Well, I hope to be updating soon, although it is Christmas in about 2 days! :D YAY!
