Hellooooo! Here's another chapter of my fic. Let's (finally) find out what Rory's been doing.

I'm overwhelmed at all the people who reviewed/story alerted/favorited! A billion hugs (and Matt Smiths) for you all.

Hopefully you'll enjoy the chapter! :)


Amy woke up the next day to a soft knock on her door.

"Come in," she said groggily, "It's open."

"Amy." Rory sat down on the edge of her bed. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot."

"Do you really, really love me?"

Surprised, Amy walked over and sat next to him.

"Rory, I-"

"Amy. The truth, please."

She hesitated for awhile and looked him in the eyes.

"Rory, I- I know that it's been hard, especially now that the Doctor's here, and… I just don't love you as much as I thought I did. I love you like a brother, and I'd do anything for you, but I don't think I'd be able to spend the rest of my life with you." Tears started running down her cheeks. "I'm so, so, so sorry," she whispered.

"Oh, Amy…" Rory sat her on his lap. "I feel the same way. I've met someone, and I've been meaning to tell you this for awhile, but that's what I've been doing. I've been communicating to someone else. I'm sorry as well. I didn't want to hurt you, I just….." Amy silenced him with a hug.

"Rory, it's okay. I feel so much better now."

"No, you deserve an explanation. When the Doctor left you….I just felt as if your world was tumbling down, and you needed someone. I wanted to help you, but I guess we were never in love. I'm sorry that it didn't work out."

"Rory," she whispered, "Find her. Find the perfect woman. Love her. Protect her. I'll be okay." She sniffed and then smiled at him.

She was still sitting on his lap when the Doctor barged in.

"Aren't you two going to have breakfast- oh, am I interrupting something? I'm sorry."

"No, Doctor, we were just having, um, a talk."

"Alright then, well come down soon, because I have some special human food that I prepared just for you!" He skipped out the doorway.

Rory got up.

"Amy, it's time for me to leave. I've had fun traveling with you and all, but you're right.. I need to find her."

Amy poked him in the ribs. "Bring her over sometime, will ya?"

"I promise." He kissed Amy on the cheek and they walked out of Amy's room.

"Ah, there you are! I have quite a large assortment of human breakfast food here. Look at these wonderful cereals with these little sugary white things!" The Doctor gestured to the Lucky Charms he was gobbling up. "These are delicious! Come sit!"

"Doctor, Rory has something to say."

"Go on Rory," the Doctor encouraged, "I'm just going to continue eating this wonderful food."

"Doctor," Rory took a deep breath. "I'd like to leave the TARDIS."

The Doctor spit out his cereal. "What? You're leaving? But there's still so much to see, and do, and-"

"I know." Rory sat down in the empty seat next to him. "But I just want to live a regular life for now. It's been amazing. I promise to visit you two," he said, grinning.

"Amy's not going home with you?" The Doctor tried to hide his excitement.

"We had a talk, and we both decided we didn't love each other the way that we thought we did."

The Doctor smiled knowingly at Rory, silently agreeing to never tell Amy what he had seen on his Rory's phone.

"I'm staying right here Doctor. I hope you don't mind," Amy said, winking and linking arms with his. "Why don't we drop Roranicus off then go to some amazing planet?"

"Sure, Pond." He pressed some buttons on the console and grinned. "Rory, we're going to miss you. I had such a good time, and you were brave. I hope you eventually find love."

"Thanks Doctor. I'll miss you both."

"Group hug!" Amy put her arms round both boys, grinning.

"Ah, here we are! Leadworth 2011." The Doctor broke away from the tight embrace and the familiar landing noises filled the room.

"Off you go, Rory." Amy playfully shoved him towards the door.

"Oi! Take care of yourselves!"

"Yes, daddy." Amy and the Doctor walked him through the TARDIS doors.

He walked out of the TARDIS and whispered something in the Doctor's ear. At first the Doctor turned red, then nodded his head. (A/N: that rhymes! Haha)

"I will," he assured Rory.

Rory waved goodbye, then waited for the TARDIS to dematerialize until he walked away.


Well! Some of you guessed what Rory was doing correctly- good on you!

I didn't send chapter previews, sorry about that. I was working extra hard on this chapter. (and besides, if I gave you the first part, you'd already know what Rory was up to! haha) But I promise I'll send some for the reviewers of this chapter!

I just have to say, I don't hate Rory, I just don't like him with Amy. Teehee.

Updates on this fic might start to be a bit farther apart due to the amount of schoolwork I'll soon be getting :(

I'd love your feedback on this chapter, and PM me if you have any suggestions as to where Amy & the Doctor should go next!
