Ryland had yet to speak as the Doctor walked him back to the orphanage. The Doctor was starting to get worried. When they got back up to Ryland's room he just laid on the bed in silence. "Talk to me Riley." The Doctor pleaded. It took him a while of silence to realize Ryland was asleep. He sighed and went to tinker with the TARDIS. When Ryland woke the next morning he checked his pule to see if it was all just a dream. sadly it wasn't and he still never aged. Since it was Sunday he didn't have work or anything to pass the time. The Doctor walked in and smiled cheerfully at Ryland. "Hello Riley. Sleep well?" He asked. "No." Was Ryland's replay. "Why are you still here? You stopped the invasion." He added. "Well you said if I found you, then you would be my companion and travel with me." The Doctor said hopefully. Ryland couldn't help but smile. "I don't recall that." He teased causing the Doctor to pout. "Yes you do." The Doctor said. "So what? How am I going to explain why i'm suddenly leaving?" Ryland asked. "I have that arranged." The Doctor said smiling. At that moment the Doctor hid in the closet as the door opened. Mrs. James walked in with two people behind her. "Ryland...Some people are here to see you." She said excitedly. After she left the Doctor came out of the closet.
"Amy, Rory!" He said hugging them both. Ryland sat on the bed confused. "Who are they?" He asked. "These are two of my past companions and they are here to adopt you." The Doctor told him smiling. Ryland was speechless. While he was contemplating Rory went to fetch Mrs. James. The doctor hid back in the closet. When they returned Mrs. James was smiling. "Looks like they want to adopt you Ryland." She said. As they were signing the papers Ryland started packing. After 11 years i'm finally getting out. Ryland thought.
When all they work was done Amy and Rory led Ryland outside to where the TARDIS was. "Keep our son safe Doctor." Amy warned, but smiled. "Don't worry Amy he's safe with me." The Doctor said. He led Ryland into the TARDIS and Ryland took the time to look around more. The Doctor took Ryland's bag and took him to a bed room. "This is your new room. Finally out of the dusty attic." He said smiling. "I'll leave you to get settled." And with that he left the room. Ryland started to put his things away. It hadn't fully processed through his head that he was finally free. He decided to sleep for a while before talking to the doctor about everything. He just hoped this wasn't a temporary solution.
Sorry I haven't updated in a few days. Had a lot of ER visits and things.
