Soooo, we're in the middle of a heated debate between Amy and the Doctor, how will they figure it out? Do read on... :)

Previously...

"Fine, you win. I'll never do it again. I'm sorry, I was severely mistaken. You can even take me," she sighed, "back to Leadworth if you must but please, first, answer me one question?"

"Amy, I never..."

"Please, just do it."

"Fine. Shoot."

"Why did you kiss me, in the control room, why did you kiss me?"

The Doctor took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair as he was wont to do in stressful situations.

"Do I need to answer that?" he said, looking at the floor

"Doctor, you promised." Amy looked disheartened and upset, he cut her off,

"FINE, fine." Another deep breath, "Amy, you must have noticed." He paused, "God, anyone could see how I felt about you, even Rory it seems." He paused again, then hurried on. "But you have to understand, it can never be, I'm a 907 year old Timelord, and you're a 20 something kiss-o-gram from earth!"

"Hey, not anymore, I quit!"

He ignored this and ploughed on.

"Amy, we're too different. I can't let this happen the way I want it to. I can't lose another..."

"How! How are we too different?"

"Species for starters, Amy, you must realise I cannot, cannot let my feelings take over!"

"Break the rules! You do it with everything else!" They stopped arguing and returned to silence for a moment, then,

"Wait, you can't let your feelings take over? What feelings?" Amy was testing him, she wanted to know fully and truthfully whether the Doctor returned her feelings or not.

"Amy! Don't be dense! Don't make me spell it out!"

"Please, Doctor, I want to hear it , just this once..."

"No, I can't... I can't give you false hope!"

"Doctor!"

"Fine! Amelia Jessica Pond. The girl with the fairytale name, the girl who waited, the girl whose life doesn't make sense. You mean so much to me that I just can't express it. I like you Amy, I mean I really like you. You don't know how hard I have to keep myself in check when you're in your miniskirts or on a rampage of brilliance! I just want to take you in my arms and... oh, you've heard enough. You know now." He stopped, absorbed in his thoughts, and stared at the floor.

All the while, the Doctor had been ranting, Amy had been staring transfixed at him. He felt the same! So why was he so against it?

"Doctor?"

"Hm?"

"Does it have to be this way?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Why? As far as I can see, you're the only thing in the way! You have this jumped up sense of what you have to do! Sometimes, surely you can have some relaxation 'me' time? You don't have to be what you think you do! Everyone has a choice!"

"Where's mine Amy? I'm the last Timelord alive. Where's my choice?"

With that, he bent close and kissed her forehead, eyes closed as his lips touched her pale skin, and left the room. Amy watched the Doctor leave then turned round to scream frustratedly into her pillow. She then lay back down and tried to go to sleep. After about an hour of staring at the ceiling, thoughts of her last conversation with the Doctor playing round in her head, she decided she was never going to get to sleep this way and headed for the library. Once there, having skirted around the swimming pool, she grabbed one of her favourite books and sat down with her toes over the edge of the pool to try and relax a little, enjoying the lapping of the water around her legs.

The TARDIS had given up and had finally allowed the Doctor to enter the control room. He ran to the console, trying to put the events of the last half hour to the back of his mind and tried to think of an interesting planet to visit when Amy woke up. Having decided on visiting the real Degoba system, (made famous around the galaxy as Yoda's home in Star Wars, the Governors had broadcast it everywhere as a tourist attraction) he entered the course into the computer and sat down on the swing seat below the control pad. Suddenly the whole ship jerked and began to vibrate violently.

"Damn Time Space Turbulence!" The Doctor yelled after he was thrown out of the seat onto the floor, hard. Automatically, his thoughts turned to Amy, was she alright? She'd been as unprepared as he had when that struck. Should he make sure she was ok? He guessed so. Sighing, he gradually pulled himself up the stairs of the still vibrating (though not as violently) ship and asked the TARDIS kindly to locate Amy for him. Once he saw where she was, hundreds of thoughts flooded into his brain, such as why there of all places? What was she doing there? In the library? With the swimming pool? The SWIMMING POOL? Oh God, let her not have fallen in! All hell would break loose with a sopping wet Amy in the TARDIS. She wasn't happy about the positioning of the pool at the best of times. He'd better make sure she was ok.

When he reached the library, there was no sign of anyone, all was quiet (the Time Space Turbulence had ended) he checked behind all the bookshelves and piles of fallen books (this was going to take for EVER to clear up!) to find no one there. As one last ditch attempt, he checked the pool, to make sure she hadn't fallen in, she wouldn't still be down there anyway, would she? He was wrong. There was the body of Amy Pond, drifting slightly at the bottom of the pool, a small cloud of blood forming around an obvious gash in her head.

"AMY!" The Doctor cried as he leapt into the pool to drag her to safety, not caring about taking off his precious bow-tie.

"Amy! Amy no, please, Amy! Don't do this to me!" He pulled her onto the side and started CPR, she had a pulse, but she wasn't breathing. He placed his mouth on hers as he had wanted to do on so many occasions, never like this, and blew into her lungs again and again, praying to whatever deity existed here that she'd wake up. After about three minutes or what seemed like a lifetime to the Doctor, Amy began to cough as her lungs re-awoke and her eyelids fluttered open.

"Doctor? Doctor, what happened?" She whispered weakly, gazing at him from his hold on her in his sopping wet arms.

"Amy, shh, you're ok now. Don't you ever, ever do that to me again!" He said laughing with relief.

Then he kissed her, so passionately yet so softly. He was quick(ish), savouring the moment, yet not wanting to steal precious breaths from the already oxygen deprived Amy.

"Doctor, you just kissed me." She stated, as if it were answering a question in a lesson.

"Amelia Pond. Life is just too short. I realise now, I can't lose you. Will you still have me?"

"Of course I will, you moron. That's what I've been trying to tell you all night. Now will you just take me to the medical bay? My head is killing me."

The Doctor laughed and then kissed her quickly. He picked her up and carried her bridal style to the medical bay, ignoring Amy's frequent requests that she "could still walk ya'know."
