"No, no, NO!" yelled the Doctor, "This is very bad. Very not good at all,"

"Doctor what is it?" asked Amy.

"The black dots," he said clutching his hair, "The black dots are the black boxes, and we only have-" he looked at the dashboard, "Sixteen minutes to deactivate all of them!"

"And?" said Rory.

"AND!" shouted the Doctor, "We don't have anything to help us!" Rory rolled his eyes. Amy snickered, but said nothing. "We need something that will spread the deactivation everywhere,"

"How 'bout this?" said a voice from the front of the TARDIS. Rose was standing in the doorway pointing at the device they had used to destroy the Daleks last time. The Doctor stared at Rose wide eyed and very surprised.

"You...can't...be...here," he breathed, "T-that's just n-not right," he fell over and leaned on the dashboard for support.

"You dropped something," said Rose holding up a little glass bottle. Her memories he had trapped in the bottle almost years ago.

"But NO!" shouted the Doctor, "Those memories a-are Dalek infested!"

"Did you really think my mind, my brain was going to let them stay in there?" said Rose, "It's the mind of a Time Lord. It can't be damaged, it just needs time to kick them out," The Doctor stood slowly and reached his hand out to Rose. She took it and he pulled her closer. He grabbed her around the waist and held her tight, tighter than ever before. Tears bursts form his eyes and he held her in his arms, waiting for someone to pull them apart. No one did. He grinned and let her go.

"Right then!" he shouted turning around, "Amy this is Rose Song and Rory this is, you know I, just said who she is, SO, shall we get started?" Amy laughed and Rose smacked the dashboard screen to show all the black dots.

"Ok," said the Doctor, "We have one billion two million four thousand six hundred forty-two black boxes to deactivate. I need that machine up and running, Rose you do that. I also need Amy to find something outside that we can put this thing on top of and Rory, uh, Rory, right, you just hang tight with me okay?" Rory nodded and followed the Doctor up the stairs and out of the room. Amy ran outside and Rose began fiddling with the machine.

Amy came back through the doors, grabbed the psychic paper, and left again. Rose found her sonic-screwdriver and went back to work. Amy came back again, took the Doctor's sonic screwdriver, and ran out the doors. Rory came, grabbed a whisk from a drawer, and dashed back up the stairs. Amy came crashing into the TARDIS for a third time. She leaned on the dashboard, gasping for air.

"I-I found a g-good spot," she breathed, "But we o-only have i-it for an h-hour," Rose nodded and kept working on the machine. After a few minutes, Amy walked over to her and crouched down.

"I have a question," said Amy.

"Yeah?" grunted Rose trying to pull something apart.

"Did your dad just bottle up your brain and drop you at a coffee shop for two years?" asked Amy. Rose stopped dead in her work, but quickly regained herself and kept working.

"No," she answered after a moment, "He did not have a choice. He wanted me as much as anyone would want their child back,"

"I can relate," muttered Amy.

"My mind was messed with my the Daleks," said Rose, "And I was destroying the universe around the Doctor, changing time, making things go wrong until he just had to stop me. I called him an old fool, and he called me a fool. He took my memories of him and the TARDIS and all that and bottled it up so I wouldn't hurt anyone,"

"Ah," said Amy.

"Almost got it," grunted the Doctor, "There!" he popped the panel open with the whisk and started messing with wires. He put out his hand and Rory handed him a toilet paper roll.

"No I wanted the garbage bag," said the Doctor looking very cross, "Get it right Rory," Rory rolled his eyes and passed him another bag.

"What are doing?" he asked but the Doctor just yelled 'aha' and a screen came up and black dots appeared on it. "What is this for? We have one up front,"

"Yes we do," said the Doctor, "But since there will be so much radiation pouring out of that machine we will need to stay back here and watch the magic. See that blue dot? That's us,"

"Wait," said Rory, "There is a black dot on top of us,"

"No there isn't," said the Doctor, "No...The black dot is with us. I am so thick. AMY!" he ran out of the room and jumped down the stairs. Wrong room. He ran back and passed Rory jumped down more stairs and running across the balcony.

"Doctor we were just-" started Amy but the Doctor cut her off.

"Stop!" he shouted, "Step away from Rose and don't touch anything," Amy rose from her spot on the ground and backed up to look at the Doctor.

"Doctor this box isn't active yet!" yelled Rory, "We're fine," the Doctor jumped down the stairs and circled Amy.

"What are you doing?" asked Amy. Rose didn't look up or even pay attention to the situation around her, she just kept working.

"Amy," said the Doctor, "I'm going to say it. I have been so, so, so very, very incredibly, hilariously, most amazingly, thick. Amy do you remember those scientists the day I left you behind because I was having a child born at my house?"

"Yes," said Amy, "Sort of, not really. I has been seventeen years Doctor,"

"Yeah, yeah," he waved a hand in her face, "You don't remember because they took a lot of blood from you and you kind of went crazy. Like an 'I am going to kill what I see' crazy,"

"I killed someone?!" shouted a confused Amy.

"Maybe," said the Doctor, "But that's not the point. We were there for two weeks and they did something to you, something I haven't noticed until now. They are the creators of the black boxes and they have been placing them all around slowly, slowly waiting until today to destroy the Earth. And if you look at some of those dots, they are moving a bit,"

"So what you're saying is-" Amy started again.

"So what I am saying is they might just, might have," the Doctor hesitated, "Put one inside you?" Amy's expression went from confused to scared. She had to grip the side rail just to keep from falling down. Rory was speechless and Rose stopped working.

"Eleven minutes," said Rose breaking the silence.

"Yeah," said the Doctor, "Yeah, eleven minutes to shut down all the boxes," Amy said nothing but Rory came to help the Doctor.

"So?"

"Rory let me ask you a question this I think will clarify things for you," said the Doctor, "What does it mean to deactivate something?"

"To shut it down," said Rory.

"And what does it mean to shut something down?"

"Cut its power,"

"And what does it mean to cut its power?"

"It means to, um, k-kill it," gulped Rory.

"Yes," said the Doctor.

"Ten minutes," said Rose.

"Ten minutes," said the Doctor, "Ten minutes, ten minutes! Ten minutes to save Amy not the world AMY save AMY!" he motioned for her to come to him. He started hooking wires to her arms, head, and a few to the feet.

"What are you doing," she managed to say.

"Saving your life," he said, "Now, I am really, really sorry but this is going to hurt, a lot," he tapped a couple buttons and held a lever in place.

"Rory, Rose," he said, "Don't watch if you don't want to have yourself traumatized," he looked at Amy who gave him a weak smile and a small thumbs up. He shut his eyes, pulled the lever, and Amy started screaming.
