Rory is dead. Amy is grieving. Amy believes she can cross over stop Rory from dying, stop herself from having caused it. Her Rory wouldn't be saved but one similar, with the same smile and the same love for her, one who had danced the Macarena before there first kiss. Amy Knew she could do it, knew she could cross over and knew she could save Rory.

'So how did you manage to get past Amy away from the mirror' River asked

'It was an ingenious idea' The Doctor smirked, River raised an eye brow and the Doctor quailed 'ok I just shouted out to meet me in the pantry, where she'll find me'

'Now you've changed time where will Amy cross over aren't the universes suppose to be exactly the same?'

'They are the same, just a little out of sync.' He explained, 'Time travel can make things a bit wibbily wobbly, and this is a very wobbly situation'

River raised her eyebrow as if to say that answer was unacceptable and The Doctor knew it.

'The two universe have become intertwined, I don't think this is the first time we're having this conversation and this isn't the first time Amy's been through that Mirror. One leads to the other.'

'So why is Amy doing this if it won't change anything? That is what your saying, although I don't think your right.'

The Doctor stood still for once and when he continued still he remained and into Rivers eyes he looked firm, as if he had been touch by something.

'We are who we are at any given moment and in that moment we couldn't have made any other decision because who we are dictates the choices we make. There's a truth that if you were omnipotent, know everything about everything and everyone you could predict the future. Only it's impossible to know it all. Even if you spent all o time with one being you could never fully know them, you could never fully know yourself. But if you know enough of the base ingredients you can make pretty accurate assumptions. Despite the fact I know the future and therefore am cheating, I could accurately assume humans will have another war. The predicate are humans are greedy, myopic and divided and countries create antagonism and competiveness.

Let me try an experiment: I bet I can tell you what you'll say next'

'Bet you can't', thus River spoke.

'Bet you can't', thus spoke the doctor simultaneously.

"That's cheating' she cooed.

'Yes, yes it is. But it's still a valid point. I know enough about you to predict what you'll say. I know you're confrontational and like to play games. In this instance I just controlled the circumstances.

'But I won't say that next time'

'Of course not' he brisked, 'you'll remember this conversation and say something else'

'So what your point'

'My point is; that nothing's changed for Amy, the circumstances are the same, and always will be. You asked why Amy is doing this. Amy hasn't figured it out yet. She still believes, and she will always believe, she can change the outcome, Save Rory.

In the air The Doctor draws a figure 8 as if showing the loop over two universes.

'Amy and Rory forever' he breathed.

Then silence fell. It was a silence in which nothing happened and nothing changed and lasted until River broke it with a question.

'So what does it mean?'

'For one the Tardis will never be able to return to this time. The rest, I don't know.'

Amy returned to the Tardis where the Doctor waited outside the door. She felt numb and dreaded the onset of emotions which she was sure she would be crush under, her tears would dehydrate her until her skin was dry and she looked a thousand years old, and her sorrow would grind her bones to dust but she was sure it would be her love that would kill her, pumping caustic longing from her heart. Yet here he was, her raggedy Doctor with his hand stretched out asking her if she'd run with him.

She didn't know what she would choose.
