"This place is amazing, Amy-" The Doctor paused to gesture with his hands. "Giant, beautiful skyscrapers that are actually made of ice! Can you imagine that? Ice!" He beamed, and Amy had to laugh at his enthusiasm.

"So, that's where we're going, yeah?" She asked brightly.

"And the mountains change color due to the weather! I mean, literally change color when it's hot and cold! And waterfalls, giant ones, pouring red-hot lava-"

"Okay, okay, I get it. The place is pretty. When will you stop rambling and actually take me there?" Amy asked impatiently.

The Doctor stopped briefly to give her an offended look, then resumed his seemingly endless chatter. "The food's amazing- well, that toffee the purple lady gave me turned me briefly into a goat- but still good!"

"Doctor!" Amy yelled. "If you don't shut up, and now, I'll fly the TARDIS myself. And who knows where we'll end up then?" She threatened, and the Doctor frowned at her. "Someone's a little touchy today, Pond."

"You would be 'touchy' too, if a certain someone promised me a party, and when I got dressed up we ended up in some weird intergalactic market, where everyone laughed at me." Amy replied, crossing her arms.
"Accidents happen, Pond!" The Doctor protested. "And besides, I bought you an alien scarf to say sorry."
"An alien scarf that made me grow antlers!" Amy flung a response back at him, and the Doctor smiled. "I think they suited you-"
Amy whacked him with the shoe she held in her hand.

"Ow! Okay! Pond doesn't like antlers, or, or, tentacles, or anything of the sort." The Doctor said quickly. "Shoot, there goes your Christmas present." He muttered to himself, and Amy's eyes bugged out.

"What-exactly-did you- buy me." She almost choked, and the Doctor waved it off. "No worries, it's returnable. Actually, it isn't. Actually, I might have borrowed it briefly."

"You STOLE it?" Amy cried, and the Doctor sniffed. "I would never do such a thing. Candice lent it to me. Said she needed it back, what, seventeen thousand years ago? Time does go fast when you have a time machine." The Doctor said, and Amy stared at him. "But what did you- never mind. I don't even want to know." She became resigned, and the Doctor tapped her on the nose. "Good Pond."

"Good Pond? I'm not a dog." Amy said slowly, precisely, and the Doctor looked nervously at the shoe she was holding.
"Agreed, not like a dog at all. More like a duck."

"A DUCK?" Amy screeched, and the Doctor attempted to backtrack. "You know, Pond, ducks, duck pond, no? No, no, 'course not, no ducks."

Amy growled, and the Doctor opened his mouth to tell her now she sounded like a dog, but thought better of it. He began to fiddle with the controls. "Let's go to the planet we were talking about before this conversation got out of hand." He said, and Amy nodded appreciatively. "I could do with some sightseeing and relaxing."

"Relaxing, bah. Why would you want to relax?"

"I don't know. I just feel really sad sometimes- it comes on, like a wave of grief... Am I crazy?"

The Doctor clapped her on the back. "You most certainly are, Amelia Pond!" He declared.

"I must be crazy to travel with you." Amy commented wryly, and as the Doctor piloted the TARDIS, he kept his face turned away from Amy's line of sight. She'd notice the sadness in his eyes, ask about what she'd forgotten. What she wouldn't remember.

As the TARDIS settled, the Doctor gave the usual "Come along, Pond!" And opened the door.

He yelled as he began to tumble down, out of the TARDIS. Amy gave a startled shriek and leapt forwards to grab his arm and haul him back inside.

The Doctor gave a sheepish grin and straightened his bow tie. "Not exactly where I wanted to end up..."

"Doctor, where are we?" Amy rolled her eyes.

The Doctor smiled weakly. "Ah- the sewers of London, 1995. Do you like rats, Pond?" He held one out to her.

Amy screamed at the top of her lungs and tripped and fell in her haste to escape the room. She rushed away, deeper into the TARDIS, and the Doctor laughed to himself as he pocketed the rubber rat.

This one's set between Cold Blood and The Pandorica opens when Amy has forgotten Rory. I'd say there's about three or four new chapters left for this story- I've got a couple of ideas for cute little oneshots, some with the trio, some with just Amy and the Doctor. If I get to, say, six reviews, maybe as a bonus I'll add a Doctor and Donna scene, or a Doctor and Rose scene, or even a Doctor and Martha scene. Please review? It would mean the worlds to me! Thanks! Bye! Peace!
