Amy was at the table working on her laptop; her chair turned away from the window because the Doctor's body movements were becoming a bit of a distraction when she heard her name being called.
"Amy, Amy dear!" It was her Aunt Sharon.
"Oh, no." She groaned as her aunt walked in.
Amy looked up and tried to smile. "Aunt Sharon what are you doing here?"
"Well Rory sent me to talk to you about picking a wedding date."
"I'm going to kill him." Amy muttered.
"But when I arrive I see a strange man in your backyard!" Aunt Sharon said shocked.
Amy immediately stood from her chair and tried to defend herself. "I can explain…" She started to say but her aunt kept firing questions at her.
"Are you mad? Who is he? What are you thinking? What about Rory" She asked.
The Doctor was standing nearby listening and watching Amy looking upset.
He couldn't stand to see Amy overwhelmed so he got an idea.
The Doctor then walked into the kitchen and said. "Miss Pond are you ready to continue?"
Amy looked at him confused.
"Continue what?" Aunt Sharon asked suspicious.
"Oh I'm sorry where are my manners, I'm John Smith her tutor. I was just outside taking a break." He said flashing his psychic paper at her.
Amy smiled as she mouthed the words "Thank you" to him.
The Doctor winked at Amy as her Aunt Sharon studied the psychic paper. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry Mr. Smith." She said embarrassed.
The Doctor smiled. "Perfectly alright, now if you'll excuse us we have to continue our tutorial."
"Oh, of course. Amy I'm sorry." Aunt Sharon said hugging her.
"It's alright, I'll call you later, okay." Amy smiled.
Aunt Sharon apologized again to the Doctor before leaving.
As soon as she was gone Amy let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks Doctor, I owe you one!"
The Doctor shrugged. "No big deal I like being there for my companions."
She folded her arms. "Really, could've fooled me." Amy muttered plopping down in her chair.
He frowned and pulled a chair beside her. "Hey what's wrong?"
"I didn't think you liked being around me since you're in such a hurry to leave." She grumbled.
The Doctor put his arm around her. "I'm not it's just I was investigating some unusual readings from the Royal Hope Hospital when I got your message. I just want to get back in time before the problem escalates. I swear it's nothing personal." He said.
"Well, as long as it's not personal." She replied.
He smiled. "So am I forgiven?"
She grinned. "Okay, you're forgiven."
The Doctor smiled but then asked. "So what was that all about then with your aunt?"
Amy looked at him. "Can't you tell?"
"So am I right in saying your problem is your aunt?" He said.
Amy sighed. "It's not just her it's everything."
"What do you mean?" The Doctor asked.
"Ever since my Doctor left it's been so hard adjusting to normal life again."
"You've got Rory." He said.
She shook her head. "Not really, Rory's changed since we came home. He was so relaxed and fun when we were traveling now all he does is pester me about this wedding!"
"Well he's coming over later to help me. I could try to talk to him." He suggested.
Amy smiled a little. "Do you think you could?"
The Doctor shrugged. "I could try."
"I'd like that. Maybe he'll listen to you." She said.
So later Rory came over and helped the Doctor pull out any wires and cords that were damaged.
The Doctor sat on the ground and began using his sonic screwdriver on them.
Rory sat near him staring at all the wires. "Are you sure you can fix the TARDIS?"
The Doctor nodded. "Oh, yes I think I can. Could you hold the end of this cord?"
As Rory held it the Doctor asked him. "How long have you known Amy?"
Rory smiled. "Since we were kids."
"How's the relationship been so far?"
"We've had our ups and downs." He said.
"Any major issues?" The Doctor asked.
He thought for a minute before answering. "I think the biggest one we had was when she kissed you." Rory replied.
The Doctor's eyes widen. "Well this is awkward and you're still friends with me?"
He smirked. "Not at first but you redeemed yourself when you brought us back together."
The Doctor nodded. "Okay, I know I'm going to regret asking this but why did she kiss me?"
Rory sighed. "Amy told me she only did it because she wanted to be comforted after a scary encounter with the weeping angles."
"Is that why you're so eager for her to pick a date?" The Doctor asked.
Rory shook his head. "I'm worried if we don't we'll have to wait longer because we're traveling with the Doctor or our Doctor." Rory replied.
He nodded. "Makes sense but don't you think if you keep bringing it up you'll push Amy away?" The Doctor asked.
Rory shrugged. "Not really besides she's in just as eager to get married as I am."
The Doctor looked at him uncertain.
"Come on I'm only reminding her. There's no harm in that." Rory smiled.
The Doctor sighed and decided to quit while he was ahead. Rory was a nice guy but stubborn and very naïve.
Amy didn't stick around to ask the Doctor how the talk went, she didn't need to because she heard every word.
She laid in bed that night feeling confused and trapped.
"He's not going to stop pestering me about this ever, no one is, not about anything." Amy thought sadly.
She buried her head in her pillow wishing she were on the TARDIS when she heard a knock on the door.
"Amy?" It was the Doctor.
Amy didn't answer so he peeked inside before walking in.
"Can I sit?" He asked.
Amy just shrugged.
The Doctor sat on the edge of the bed. "I gather you heard."
She nodded.
He sighed. "I'm sorry I couldn't get thru to him."
Amy sat up and sighed. "It's okay, it's not your fault he's hard-headed."
The Doctor smirked. "Well aside from that do you love him?"
She scoffed. "That's silly, of course I do."
"And you still want to marry him?"
"Yes." She replied avoiding his eyes.
He stood from the bed and grinned. "Good, that's all that matters."
The Doctor leaned over and gently kissed her on her forehead surprising her.
The kiss was simple but it sent goose bumps down her arms.
He turned to leave when Amy called out "Doctor?"
The Doctor paused and turned."Yeah?" He said.
She wanted to tell him "Don't go" but instead just smiled and said. "Thanks."
The Doctor smiled at her and left the room.
Amy sat there clutching her pillow wishing he'd stay.
