The Mothman
November 15, 1966: Point Pleasant, West Virginia
"Uh, Doctor, where are we?"
"Take a look!"
"We're looking. Still not sure where we are."
Four individuals stepped out from a blue police box, a man with a bow-tie and a tweed jacket smiling widely as he gazed out at the open space, the forest around them fading with color with the season. He took in a deep breath and let it out, the crisp air of the evening making him feel lit up inside. Behind him, a couple stepped out, standing on both of his sides.
"You three said you wanted to go somewhere pleasant! Hence—"
"Point Pleasant, yes, you're clever, we get it." Out came Eve from behind, bags under her eyes and her face pale. The Doctor merely grinned at the woman cheekily as Amy covered her laughter up with a cough, Rory smiling weakly at the haggard looking woman.
Just prior to stopping, the four had visited the States during the 1920s in order to have—as Amy had claimed—a "proper, good time." They three had yet to have an adventure together since Evelyn had joined the little team that they were, so Amy had suggested going somewhere fun. There was also one other thing that motivated her; Evelyn had never gotten drunk before. Amy seemed floored by the idea that Evelyn had gone to a university and had not drunk enough to ever have a good piss up. So, the couple and the Doctor had declared that they would be the first people to have a proper drink with Evelyn.
It hadn't been just one drink. It had been several drinks—all drinks—every kind of drink. The moment they had arrived in Chicago, where the Doctor had guaranteed they would be able to find someone and some place to enjoy themselves, Evelyn knew she was in over her head. But she didn't bother trying to resist; she didn't care enough to and she wasn't completely opposed to the idea.
It wouldn't be until the next morning that she held full regret.
Amy wrapped an arm around the exhausted Eve's shoulder, pulling her close to her side as she laughed. Eve winced at the sound, the volume of the redhead's voice much too loud in her current condition.
"I have to say, Eve. I'm officially impressed with you," Amy said playfully as Eve merely closed her eyes, wishing for the sharp pain in her head to go again.
"Please, stop talking so loudly."
"I told you to drink more water, but you refused," Rory added as Eve looked at him and shot him a glare. He quickly held his hands up defensively as he smiled sheepishly before he watched the black haired woman sigh, leaning her head back on to the redhead's shoulder.
"I'm getting too old for this."
"No, no, V! You're at your prime!" the Doctor said happily as he placed his hand on her shoulder, Evelyn glaring at him.
"You're older than I am, yet you're completely fine. You even had more to drink than me!" she snapped enviously.
"I'm a Time Lord. It works a bit differently for me."
"I hate you." The Doctor chuckled before he tucked a piece of hair behind Eve's head, the woman sighing at his touch before he turned back around and smiled.
"Point Pleasant! Cozy little place, it is. Not actually sure which direction the town is in…" the Doctor muttered as he thought hard to himself for a moment.
"I thought you said we were in Point Pleasant," Rory said, his voice filled with slight alarm as the Doctor waved his concern off.
"Sorry, is that what I said? I meant we're near Point Pleasant. Shouldn't be more than a few miles this way…or maybe that way…" The Time Lord scratched his head as he glanced around before he froze. He blinked as he lifted his head, taking a sniff into the air, confusing the three behind him.
"Doctor? What're you doing?" Amy asked suspiciously as Eve pulled away from the redhead, whatever pain she was in forgotten for the moment. She eyed the brunet carefully as he took another sniff before his eyes nearly bulged from their sockets.
Without warning, the Doctor began running off into the forest as Eve and Amy blinked before following. Rory groaned as he shook his head and quickly ran after the three; he had a bad feeling about this.
"Doctor!" Evelyn shouted out as she ran quickly after the mad man. She grunted as her head thrummed with pain, though she continued onward. She cursed the Time Lord under her breath as she quickly hopped over a fallen branch, Amy following suit as Rory nearly tripped over it.
Finally, after a few more minutes of running, Eve came to a slow stop in a clearing. She breathed heavily, trying to catch her breath as Amy and Rory did the same just a step behind her. The Doctor stood motionlessly, completely composed as his eyes gleamed with excitement. He was smiling to himself as a smoky scent filled his nose—the same smell that had attracted him in the first place.
"What the hell was that about?" Eve asked as she approached the Doctor's side, the Time Lord grinning as his breath misted in the cold air.
"Do you smell that?"
"Smell what?" Amy asked as she approached Eve's side.
"That smoky and husky scent!"
"Uh, Doctor, there is no smell," Rory pointed out as he sniffed, the Doctor shaking his head. He began venturing further into the clearing as Eve frowned. She looked back at Amy and Rory, the pair shrugging before they followed after the Time Lord.
"What is this place?" the dirty blond inquired as he made his way up a mound before he came to an abrupt halt. His eyes widened as he gulped, his voice lost in his throat. The Doctor approached the young man's side as he glanced down before letting out an excited laugh.
"Nice work, Rory!"
"What did you find?" Amy inquired as she quickly strode up to her fiancé's side, the Doctor hopping down from the disguised bunker.
"During the second world war, manufacturing of weaponry doubled," the Doctor began as Rory hesitantly hopped down after the Doctor. He held his hand out to Amy as she took it and joined him, Eve lingering behind as she glanced around the field. "Bullets, guns, grenades—all sorts of things were being developed in order to end the war," the Doctor stated with a frown.
"This is just one of the many places that humans used to produce ammunition." Eve finally reached the top of the small hill, the Doctor's grim expression shifting into a brighter one as he held his arms up. He waited as his companion carefully jumped down into his arms.
"What's happened to it now?" Amy asked quietly, her voice carried in the wind.
"After the war, there was no use for it. Looks as though it's nothing more than just a faded memory now," the Doctor stated evenly as he turned to the door that led to the inside of the mound. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver—which Eve was still taking time to grow accustomed to—as he ran the green light over the door before he frowned; he wasn't going to be able to sonic inside this one.
"What are you looking for?" Eve asked as the Doctor began to grin. He turned swiftly to his three companions as they blinked.
"Ever heard of the Yeti?"
"Um—yeah."
"What about Loch Ness Monster?"
"Of course."
"Big Foot?"
"Is there a point to this?"
"There are creatures in this universe—far and wide," said the Doctor as he brushed past the humans and further into the field. "I've met nearly thousands of different species in my past lives, but there are only a few that I have yet to discover," he stated as the excitement began to grow in his voice.
"Doctor, what are you trying to get at?" the redhead of the group asked impatiently as the Doctor laughed.
"The Mothman!"
"…I'm sorry, the what?" Eve raised a brow as she crossed her arms, Rory wearing a confused expression.
"The Mothman," the Doctor repeated as he pouted, shoulders sagging from disappointment.
"I've—I've never heard of that," Rory stated as Amy shook her head.
"Nope."
"Have you three been living under a rock?" the Doctor asked disbelievingly as he gave them an appalled stare.
"What exactly is the Mothman?" Eve asked as she buttoned up her pea coat.
"Your history categorizes the Mothman as a supernatural force, and in some ways I suppose it is. But I've heard the true legend of this creature—a creature so powerful that it can foresee all of time with just a blink. Not sure how accurate that information is, now that I think about it. I was just a boy when I heard—"
"Doctor." Eve raised a brow as said Time Lord cleared his throat and nodded, turning the wheel back on track.
"The universe is a vast and endless void, but within that void, there is an entity that can see everything through the dark veil."
"Wait, but you said legend," Amy called out as she followed after the brunet, who was now venturing in a random direction. "Does that mean you've never seen it before?"
"No one has. Actually—someone! Give me the date!"
"Except no one's got a calendar of this current year on them," Eve pointed out as gave the genius an exasperated look. The Doctor frowned before he shook his head.
"Alright then! Back—" The Doctor froze as everyone else stiffened, the air suddenly turning colder. It was as if spikes of ice were cutting through them with the sun began to disappear beyond the horizon. The four didn't dare speak as they felt this heavy kind of weight fall upon them, pressing against their bodies.
Slowly, the Doctor looked up into the evening sky with wide eyes. He stared with anticipation as the other three followed his lead, looking up. Their eyes widened as they noticed a black figure soaring high above them, and as it did so, the weight upon their bodies grew even heavier for just that moment. It was as if they couldn't breathe—as if all of time was forcing itself upon them and trying to suffocate them.
Just as the shadow disappeared, the heaviness lifted, causing Amy to gasp and Eve to shudder. Rory let out a held breath as he looked to his future wife, the young woman trembling before she looked to the Doctor. The Time Lord merely continued to stare for a few more seconds before he shook his head, turning to Eve immediately.
"Is everyone alright?" he asked as he quickly placed his hands on the 26 year old's shoulder. She nodded as he relaxed, looking to Amy and Rory as they nodded.
"What was that?" the blond asked as the Doctor began to grin madly.
"That, Rory was the Mothman."
§
They had run as quickly as their legs could take them. Eve was rather impressed with herself for being able to keep up with everyone else in her condition, but after what they had all experienced, her hangover was the last thing that was on her mind. The Doctor had taken the lead, zooming into the TARDIS, followed by Amy and then Eve and Rory. The three panted as the door to the ship swung shut. The Doctor wasted no time as he attended to the console, Evelyn quickly approaching his side as she gazed at the screen.
"So then, what's the date?"
"November 15. The second time the Mothman was sited!" the Doctor said excitedly as he smiled widely. Eve glanced at him before she smiled and shook her head; it was still taking some used to seeing all these familiar expression on a new face.
"So, let me get this straight," Amy began as the Doctor when about the TARDIS console. "This Mothman is a creature that is basically the time and universe?"
"I suppose that's one way to put it," the Time Lord called out as he quickly pulled the lever of the console, the ship lightly jerking into motion. Rory quickly grabbed hold of railing to the platform as Amy quickly grabbed hold of him. Evelyn merely groaned as she went to keel over, the Doctor acting quickly as he carefully caught the woman and pulled her close to him. The queasiness the 26 year old was feeling made traveling in the TARDIS miserable, but once the hangover passed, she would be back on her feet again.
"Where are we going?" Amy asked over the groaning of the blue police box.
The Doctor laughed happily as he stared up at the cylinder beam in the middle of the console. "To find ourselves the Mothman!"
§
"So then, we're actually in Point Pleasant?" Stepping out of the TARDIS, the four travelers found themselves in an alley. The Doctor smiled confidently as he led his companions down the way and to the sidewalk, stepping out as if he belonged in the town.
"Here we are!"
"And this is the same night as when we arrived?" Evelyn asked as she noticed that the sun was no longer in the sky and the stars were gleaming up above their heads. The Doctor nodded as he quickly glanced down both ways of the street before Evelyn stepped up beside him, Amy and Rory on his other side.
"What are we looking for?"
"I—" Suddenly, sirens filled the air as the four watched, a police care and an ambulance zooming down the street without warning. The Doctor began to grin as he looked to the three humans, the three still staring after the cars that drove by.
"That's exactly what we're looking for!" the Time Lord exclaimed as he began to run in the direction of the police car and the ambulance. Eve frowned deeply as Amy and Rory sighed, quickly following after the Doctor. Eve lingered behind for a moment as she groaned before the Doctor quickly ran back to her, grabbing her hand and dragging her along.
§
"Now, could you please just retell us your accounts of what you saw?"
"Well—" The door to the interrogation room suddenly swung open as the officer and two individuals looked back. They watched curiously as four individuals stepped in, the man in charge of the small group smiling slyly as he glanced from the officers to the couple.
"Hello there! Sorry to interrupt, but I'm afraid we'll be taking over here."
"Who the hell are you?" A man asked with a slight twang in his voice as the man with the bowtie smiled pleasantly.
"John Smith. I'm with the CIA. And these are my accomplices," he stated as he held out a flimsy wallet and presented his identification. The officer stood up from his spot on the table as he read it over before nodding his head.
"What's the CIA doing here?" he asked suspiciously as this John began to move past him, making his way to the chair that the officer had once been sitting in.
"Three days before, our people caught wind of sightings of a strange creature in the area. Me and my team have been sent out in order to gather what information we can about said creature—if one even exists," he explained skeptically, though the gleam in his eyes seemed to say that he truly did believe.
"If you'll excuse us, sir. We only have a few questions for these two. Then we'll need to see the other couple who witnessed this creature. Once we've gotten the answers to what we need, we'll be out of your hair." The Asian woman stated to the officer, the man hesitating before he nodded and began to make his way out of the room. He eyed the redhead and the dirty blond as they merely smiled weakly at him before he walked out, shutting the door.
"So! Hello. John Smith here, but most people call me the Doctor." The confused couple stared at the man with the tweed jacket at the bowtie as they glanced to each other; they'd never met someone in person with an accent such as his before.
"Why do people call you the Doctor?" the man of the couple asked as the Doctor blinked before shrugging.
"I suppose there're many reasons. Actually—"
"Now's not the time for a background check, Doctor," the dark haired woman pointed out as the couple glanced to her; although Mr. Smith seemed to be the leader of the group, this woman looked to be in charge.
Clearing his throat, the Doctor nodded as he smiled and leaned forward against the table. "From the beginning, can you explain in detail what it is that you saw?"
"…I really don't want to talk about it anymore," the female of the couple said. The Doctor's gaze softened as he noticed the bothered expression she was wearing before Amy popped up beside him with a friendly smile.
"Amelia Pond. Call me Amy," she said as the woman across the table looked at her. "What's your name?"
"…Linda. Linda Scarberry."
"Linda. Nice meeting you," Amy said with a nod as she looked to her fiancé. "This is Rory. And that there is Eve. And just like he said, he's the Doctor." Everyone could see the woman visibly relaxing as Amy spoke, as if they were just all people meeting on the street.
"Look, Linda. You don't have to tell us anything you don't want to. But it'd help us out if you did. We're just here to help," Amy stated as Eve smiled at the redhead, Rory watching with a fond gleam in his eyes.
The young woman hesitated before she nodded. "It was Roger and I with Steve and Mary—our friends. We were driving down the road when it started getting dark," the woman explained as the Doctor listened carefully. "Roger was driving."
"Yeah," the man beside Linda said as he took over. "I'd just turned on the headlights, and there wasn't anything weird about the night. We'd just gone out and were heading back to town."
"What road was it, exactly?" Rory inquired as Linda and Roger glanced at each other.
"Just outside of town—by the TNT area," Roger explained as the Doctor glanced to Eve, who gave a small nod of recognition.
"We were all just talking and having a good time when Steve saw it."
"What did he see?" Evelyn asked as Linda's jaw stayed clenched shut, her hand squeezing Roger's tightly. He gave it a squeeze back in return as he shook his head.
"I—I've never seen anything like it before," he began. "It was huge. And it looked like a man—a man covered in white with these glowing, red eyes," he explained, shaken by just the mere memory of what he'd seen. "And he had these enormous wings! I mean—they were just huge," Roger stated incredulously as his body trembled.
As the man spoke, the excited glimmer in the Doctor's eyes seemed to brighten the entire room. There was a blank expression upon his face, but his eyes were smiling and there was an energy around him that was nearly suffocating to those around him. Whatever this creature was, it was nothing like the Doctor had ever known before and it was nothing like he'd ever experienced before; this was stuff of legends to even him. And that was what made everything so much more thrilling to him. There were few things in the entire universe that the Doctor was unsure of; the creature known as the Mothman was included.
"It flew right above the car, and then it soared right beside the window," Linda said as she shook her head, the red eyes penetrating her even through her memory. "It was terrifying."
"Did it try to hurt you?" the Doctor asked as Linda and Roger blinked.
"N—No. It just—It just flew away." That made the brunet grin.
"Exactly! So then, why?" he asked as he looked to Evelyn, the young woman blinking as she thought.
"I don't—"
"I don't know isn't an answer!" the Doctor sang as Rory and Amy blinked.
"Do you know why it didn't hurt them?" Amy asked curiously as the Doctor hopped up from his seat with a cheeky smile.
"Of course!" Eve frowned before she crossed her arms over her chest. She thought for a moment before shrugging.
"Because maybe it didn't want to hurt anyone," she said as the Doctor swiftly span back around to face her. He smiled at her before he placed his hands on her arms and pulled her forward to place his lips upon her forehead. She blinked as warmth spread throughout her entire body before he pulled away and grinned.
"Right you are, V."
"If it didn't want to hurt anyone, why was it here in the first place then?" Rory asked as the Doctor turned over his shoulder to look back at him.
"Humans—you fear the unknown and assume that the things you are unsure of are dangerous, but perhaps you're wrong," the Doctor stated as he looked back to Linda and Roger. "Perhaps this creature—this entity was not here to harm you, but to help you."
§
They had met with Steve and Mary Mallette, and the other couple had given the exact same details as Linda and Roger had given them. Rory had been a little skeptical of the entire thing, but then he saw the genuine fear and shock that was in their eyes and he knew that it couldn't have been a lie; it was all too raw and real to be fake. So, after they had gathered what they needed, they left without a warning and quickly made their way back to the TARDIS.
"What's the actual legend of the Mothman?" Amy inquired curiously as she stepped on to the ship, following close to the Doctor as he made his way to the console.
"There have been many assumptions that have been made over the years, but many people agree that the Mothman is an omen," he explained as he began to type away on the keyboard set before him. "They say before disasters, the Mothman can be seen soaring through the air."
"Is it true?" Rory asked as he walked in after Amy, Eve following after him before she shut the door.
"It's hard to say! There have been several images posted of the Mothman at several different occasions, but no one has confirmed whether or not these images are nothing but a mere hoax," the alien stated as a hologram appeared before the three travelers, a picture of the Mothman flying in the distance making them shiver.
"Whatever it is—I'm going to get to the bottom of it." The Time Lord grinned as Eve sighed, plopping down on a chair and leaning back against it. Her head thrummed painfully against her skull as she rubbed her temple.
"I thought we were going to do something relaxing."
"What can be more relaxing than finding the Mothman?" the Doctor asked playfully as Evelyn rolled her eyes.
"Would you want me to make a list?"
"So then, what do we do now?" Amy asked as she quickly approached the Doctor's side. He smiled at her before he looked down to the screen before him.
"I'm having the TARDIS try and track any energy trail of the Mothman."
"Is it an alien?" Rory asked as the Doctor shrugged.
"To this world? Yes."
"Where does it come from?" the dirty blond wanted to know. The Doctor shook his head as he looked up from his typing.
"No one truly knows. Even I'm not quite sure. There are assumptions about its origins, but I can't say for sure whether or not those assumptions are true or not."
"So there are things that even Time Lords don't know?" Amy pointed out playfully as said Time Lord chuckled before nodding.
"I suppose there are." As the Doctor turned to explain his next plan of action, he stopped. He blinked innocently before his expression softened, a small smile creeping upon his lips. Amy blinked as she followed the man's gaze before she began to smile, Rory standing beside Evelyn quietly as he let her lean against his arm and sleep peacefully. He smiled sheepishly as he glanced down at the young woman.
"Figured she could get a bit of rest in," he stated before the Doctor chuckled. He clapped his hands together before he approached the pair, carefully scooping Eve into his arms. She stirred lightly as she slept, leaning her head against the Doctor's shoulder as she breathed heavily, almost snoring against him. He smiled widely down at her before he began to make his way down the corridor.
"Get some sleep! We'll pick this up when we've all had a bit of time to rest," he called out to the engaged pair. The two watched as the man disappeared around the corner of the hall before Amy chuckled and sighed. Rory looked after the Time Lord with a curious stare; what exactly was Evelyn to the Doctor?
"Come on then," Amy said as she grabbed her future husband by the hand. "Unless you plan on making me sleep alone." Rory quickly shook his head as Amy smirked and led the way.
§
He hadn't had a chance to do this in a long time. It had been one of his favorite things to do back when he had his previous face—during the days where he'd spend nights staying with Evelyn. She would sleep, and he would sit at her window, and at first, he would stare up at the stars, enjoying the view of space from where he sat, but then, as time went on, his attention would drift. Day-by-day, night-by-night, his eyes would wander and he'd find himself gazing upon Evelyn's peaceful face as she slept through the night.
"Here you go," the Doctor whispered as he laid the young woman on her bed. He pulled her covers and sheets back before he gently pulled them up to her chest, tucking her carefully in before he turned to leave, but as he did so, something stopped him. He smiled to himself as he turned and sat down on her bedside, gently placing his hand over hers and giving it a gentle squeeze.
She was different now, but the same. There were a few more wrinkles here and there on her face, small laughter lines showing that hadn't been there when he first met the young woman. He took a moment to remember her features from the days before, and then he realized that her hair was a bit shorter now. And her face had finally completely grown into all of her features. Her light pink lips were fuller and her skin was a bit pale, though it was more than likely due to the season. Still, she was as beautiful as he remembered her being.
The day he had left her.
"…My stubborn, cranky, wonderful V," he said quietly as he brushed the back of his fingers against her soft cheek. He sighed as he turned and faced the wall, staring blankly at it for a moment.
There were still many unanswered questions that the Doctor needed ask. He hadn't had time to really think about any of it since Evelyn's return. What was in store for their future together? Was Evelyn safe now? Had he done the right thing—coming back for her? And what was going to happen now? Was her future still in harm's way or was she finally safe to stand by his side again? Because, he really couldn't risk losing her again; he wasn't sure if his two hearts could take it.
"Never again," he whispered as he tore his gaze from the wall to look back at Evelyn. "Never again will you disappear from my life."
"Then promise you won't run away again." Eve slowly opened her eyes as she blinked, her vision still rather hazy from just awakening. The Doctor blinked before he smiled and nodded his head. He watched as the woman smiled back up to him before she let her eyes flutter shut once more, her breathing evening out. And as she tried to fall back to sleep, she felt the bed beneath her shift as a warmth covered her side. Slowly, she opened her eyes again, gazing at the Doctor as he laid beside her, staring up at the ceiling. She smiled as he turned his head, smiling back at her.
"Nothing was ever really the same when you left," he said quietly as Eve nodded her head solemnly. "…I had to do it though. There was no other choice. I promised myself I would always protect you—keep you safe. So I—" The Doctor's eyes widened as his soft speech was interrupted. Evelyn rolled on to her side and faced the Time Lord before she stared at him for just a second. Then, without warning, she leaned forward and placed her lips on his. The brunet stiffened like a wooden board as he stared with wide eyes as Evelyn, who lightly placed her hand on his neck as she kissed him. Within seconds, the Doctor relaxed, rolling his body in Eve's direction and using his arms to pull her closer; the kiss itself remained as innocent as it was when it began.
After a few moments, Evelyn slowly pulled away. She stared at the Doctor with a light blush across her cheeks as she cleared her throat, trying not to feel as embarrassed as she was. The Doctor merely smiled widely at her before she laid her head back on her pillow, still staring at him.
"I understand, Doctor. I know," she whispered reassuringly as the humanoid's expression relaxed. He nodded his head before his body grew lax, his eyes never leaving Evelyn as she shut her eyes once more.
And for the rest of the night, the pair laid just like that, side-by-side.
The Mothman *cue dark music* I watched a special on the Mothman a few days ago and I felt like incorporating him into this story would be so interesting since they've done a lot in the show like ghosts, vampires, loch ness, etc. There was so much I could do with the Mothman, so I'm excited to continue on with the creature! I myself, don't know how much I believe in the creature. Maybe its actually real, maybe its not. I'm not here with this story trying to convince you at all! Just using the Mothman as an idea! Nothing more, nothing less :)
I've found time to update now, and sadly, I'm still unsure of how the actual schedule will be like. The days are clearing up, but I'm still a bit busy. But I promise I will update when I can! So just bear with me as I sporadically update this story XD And thank you to all who have stuck around since the first story and to those who have now just joined and are reading this! I appreciate whoever is here for taking the time out of their day to give this story a chance! I'll work hard, I promise, and I won't forget about this story, I swear! Thank you for the support, and I can only hope that this chapter and future chapters are all to your liking.
Reviews:
xXKaminari-TsubasaXx: Yes! The gang is all here! Now shall begin the fun and crazy adventures of as you put it 11VPonds (I really like that! :D). I'm glad to know that I'm writing Rory and Amy correctly. Whenever I write any character from the show, I put a lot of effort into making sure they sound they way they should and that they act in ways that they would normally act. So it's a great compliment for me when you say they're in character! So truly, thank you! I'm not going to touch much on Eve and River. Everyone will just have to see how their relationship is in the future! And I'm relieved to know that the confrontation between Eve and the Doctor before was believable. I feel like 11 is usually rather patient when it comes to situations like that, but once he's hit his limit, he's going to go for it. There's only so much patience a person can have, or a Time Lord LOL Thank you so much for reading! I appreciate you doing so, and I hope you like future chapters to come!
Muirgen79: Yes, the mischief begins now! I figured that if anyone was going to be able to get Eleven to finally think straight, it would be Ms. Amelia Pond! She always seemed to know what to say to the Doctor to make him see more clearly! And thanks to her, Eve and Eleven finally hashed things out and everything is as it should be! Thank you for reading and reviewing! :)
Littlebirdd: I can't ever get enough of those happy faces, genuinely! Every time I see one, I'm happy because I know that means you've enjoyed the chapter. And to be quite frank, those faces are just adorable! Especially that nose you added in XD Thank you for reading. I'm so glad you've been enjoying this story so far, and I hope that as I continue, you will continue to read and like the chapters! Thanks again!
Gladoo89: Yay! It's always reassuring to know that you're doing something right, and especially when it comes to the Ponds. I only ever want to do them justice! And yes, the Doctor and Eve definitely had that conversation coming. And now that it's done, they're off on adventures! Thank you for reading :D I'm so very happy that you have been, and I hope you continue to read and enjoy. I'll work hard!
margie-me: You're rather perceptive! You always notice the little details and extra points that I write in, and that is just wonderful :D I feel like Amy and the Doctor and Eve's relationship are all tied together in similar ways, so I wanted to be able to show that in the writing! Yes, new adventures shall now begin with the Ponds and the Doctor and Eve. So who knows what sort of trouble they'll be getting into all together ;) Only time will tell. I can't wait for you to continue reading. Thank you so much for supporting this story and for reading and reviewing! I truly appreciate you doing that and hopefully you'll continue to enjoy this story once more chapters are written. I'll work hard! Promise!
Nonuser: Yes, a lot of emotional things come into play that last chapter. And now we're moving on to the more adventurous and exciting emotions now that the angst has been overcome! Hopefully this will bring about more positive feels if any at all XD Thank you for reading!
Guest: I'm relieved to hear that you liked that I had them have a quarrel about all their pent up emotions. Yes, you're definitely right. It was rather "domestic" :) There are definitely going to be many more moments like that between the Doctor and Eve. I feel as though their relationship has sort of hit that point where now they are comfortable enough with each other to act that way. With Ten, Eve was just sort of growing accustomed to all the traveling and although she did have her spouts with him, they were more playful in a way, and I feel as though Eleven now knows that Eve is there to stay and that he is as much a part of her life as she is to him, and that sort of brings out that "domestic-ness" about their relationship...if that makes sense LOL And like I've told other people, I'm not going to go into Evelyn and River. that will be something readers will have to wait and see about! Thank you for reading and thank you so much for the review!
P.E. Ward: Yes, Evelyn has made her grand return! And so she and the Doctor and the Ponds are off now! I, myself, can't wait to get more into River and Eve. Yes, River is the only one who calls Evelyn Lyn, but I feel as though all the different close companions and friends of the Doctor have their own way of addressing Evelyn. Doctor has V, Amy just goes by Eve where Rory will always refer to Evelyn by Evelyn. And then River has Lyn! And although we haven't seen much of Clara, in the last story there was a snippet of her and Evelyn and she referred to Evelyn as Evy, so I mean, it all just depends on the person! Thank you for reading and thank you very, very much for reviewing! I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to do so!
crossMIRAGE19: A second time! If you reviewed as who I think you reviewed as (Guest?) then thank you for being so thorough with the reviewing XD It wasn't an inconvenience at all, so don't worry about that! I'm just glad you even read this story at all! Thank you so much for the support and I hope you enjoy this chapter! I'll make sure to work hard on future work!
