I hope everyone's excited for Doctor Who next week! In my excitement, I've decided it's time for a new chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 4
In all her wedding preparations, Rose had left just one thing out. Well, actually, she'd left a lot of things out, but she was consciously forgetting about them for now. So, just one day before the ceremony, she and Amy were dress shopping.
"You're not going to find anything on this short of a notice. What were you thinking, waiting so long?" Two shopping bags were dangling from Amy's hands, and nothing in them belonged to Rose.
"Things usually work out in the end. We're here now." Rose stopped outside a bridal shop, painted white and filled with pink flowers and wedding dresses. It was the type of place that makes everyone who isn't a bride sick.
Amy and Rose were the only ones in the quiet shop except for the owner.
"Rose!" She rushed to greet them. "I knew you would wait until the last minute for a dress, so I chose a few for you!" She seemed only then to notice Amy. "Who's this?"
"This is Amy Pond. She knows the Doctor." As Rose finished, the shop owner's face lit up with hope.
"Is he here?"
Amy's face fell into a look of confusion. She turned to Rose. "The shop owner knows about the Doctor?"
"I was just about to get there. This is my mother, Jackie Tyler."
"Nice to meet you Amy Pond, the Doctor's friends are our friends too." She stuck out her hand for Amy to shake.
"Oh, thank you… I guess." Amy smiled.
After an hour of trying on the "few" dresses that Jackie had picked out, they all agreed on one.
"You look beautiful" Amy thought of her own wedding dress, hanging in wait for a million adventures but really only one night.
"Thanks," Rose replied. "Now all we need is a dress for you."
"Why? I already have a dress."
"My maid of honor needs to look perfect"
"Why me? We met yesterday." Amy's Scottish attitude was beginning to emerge.
Jackie interrupted. "Rose spends all her time with John at work tracking down all the alieny things for Torchwood. It doesn't provide a stable environment for making friends."
"I have friends. But anyways, will you be my maid of honor, Amy?"
"Sure."

The Doctor climbed out of the TARDIS to confirm his suspicion. He was in a graveyard.
"Always with the graveyards," he said, possibly to the TARDIS and possibly to himself. Across the street was a hotel, and beyond that a city, London. But as he had guessed, it was a different London, the London. It was time to find her, but first he had to figure out exactly where he was.
He crossed the street to the hotel. The man at the reception desk looked nice enough, so the Doctor approached him.
"Hi Rob, great day isn't it. I've come to visit an old friend who lives in the city, but the problem is I have no idea where I am. You couldn't happen to help could you?" He smiled and straightened his bowtie.

Rory was on his way to work when he swore he heard it. In the past four years, he'd given up hope of ever hearing that sound again. Without second thought, he turned around and headed toward it. As expected, in the graveyard a bright blue box rested, casually in a corner, as if it had always been there.
Rory rushed back into the hotel, and there he was, talking to Rob at reception.
"Doctor!" He turned around.
"Rory Pond!" He turned back to Rob. "Never mind, a friend who's here now will help me." He approached, giving Rory a hug. "I never thought I'd see you two again. Where's Amy?"
"It's sort of complicated."
"It always is with you two. Don't worry, I'll fix it. Let's go."
"Well, there's a problem that I can't actually find her."
"Honestly, Rory, do I have to do everything? I'll find her, we just have one stop to make on the way."
Hopefully more to come soon! Make sure to review and follow :)
