Space, Time And The Converses
Chapter 7 - Submit Your Fear.

"Who are you?" Amy mumbled at the photo of the Roman and Her. Tears trickled down her face as she sat in the corner of her room, well the spare room. Her legs tucked underneath her chin and some part of her felt guilty that she had done 'it' with the Doctor and she couldn't put her foot on it why she felt like that. Her hair fell besides her, lifeless and still.
"A-Amy?" The Doctor asked as he tapped quietly on the door. Amy quickly hid the Photo in her Coat before scurrying to the door.
"H-Hello?" she smiled weakly as she gazed at the Doctor, he stared back worried.
"Have you been crying?" The Doctor asked her, she dabbed her eyes, stared at her fingers for awhile before looking up at the Doctor.
"No." she lied.
"Oh-kay..." he answered, confused, he heard her crying, sobbing in fact from her room a few minutes ago.
"Any way, I have the most perfect place for us to visit!" The Doctor exclaimed as he ran up to the controls. Amy grabbed her black leather coat before racing to the Doctor. Her skinny Black jeans hugged Amy whilst her red and White checker top showed off her curves.
"Where's that?" Amy asked her,
"Never you mind, it's just perfect." He answered as he pulled the lever. Bam! The TARDIS was travelling through space and time until it finally stopped.
"We're here!" The Doctor shouted happily as he raced Towards the doors.
"Where's Here?" Amy asked as she chased him.
"Where ever this machine has taken us, through those doors is where we are going today." He said with a smile on his face. He opened them with a grin, letting Amy past her face was half in wonder and half in disgust.
"Where are we?" she moaned as the warm sand infested her black ballet shoes.
"Isn't it obvious?" the Doctor laughed as he looked up to the warm sun. Amy shook her head.
"Are we in the 70's?" she asked as she looked at the people in retro clothes. "And at the Beach?" she said as she smelt the salty wet sea and watched the kids dig for treasure and build the tallest sand castles whilst the parents kicked back and relaxed.
"Yeah, but the lack of clothes that people are wearing suggests it's a summers day at..." he said as he turned around and saw the Blackpool tower, staring at the cloudless day. "Blackpool."
"Blackpool?"
"Yeah, Blackpool, Donkey rides and all." The Doctor smiled as he started to stroll away from the TARDIS and walked across the beach.
"I swear I've been here before." Amy mumbled as she followed The Doctor. He turned around every now and again to see a miserable Amy.
"What's wrong?" The Doctor asked calmly as he wrapped one arm around her.
"Nothing." she lied as she broke free from The Doctors grasp. Marching away from the Doctor, suddenly she stood still in her tracks.

"Amelia!" A little boy with strawberry blonde hair gasped as she chased after her who was making her was up the pier. He looked about 7, the same age as Amelia.
"Don't be a baby!" Amelia, laughed back to him. Her Ginger hair bounced with her as she chased after her bright red balloon that was slowly moving into the clouds above.
"I'm not a baby!" the boy replied to her comment. "But it doesn't look safe, shouldn't we get your aunt?" he asked.
"No, she'll only shout at us for getting the balloon back and for running off." Amelia stated, "Hey! It's stuck on their!" Amelia exclaimed before racing to it. She climbed on the bars of the side before trying to make her reach for the balloon. With the crashing sea underneath her...The boy stared at her in terror before shouting
"You can have my balloon." he shouted nervously as he rocked back and forth on his feet.
"Really?" She asked shocked as she hoped down.
"Y-Yeah." he giggled lightly as he handed her his balloon.
"Thank-You." she smiled back at him as she took his dark blue balloon from his shaky hands. She blushed as she kissed the Boy lightly on the cheek. He went redder than Mars and a smile crept up on his face. She giggled lightly at him.

"Amy! Amy! Amy!" The Doctor called as he waved in front of Amy's face, her eyes were stiff and trickling with tears. Suddenly her eyes moved left and right before they focused on The Doctor.
"You Ok?"
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine."
"Wanna Ice-cream?" The Doctor asked as they began walking again.
"Errr...Yeah...I guess?" Amy answered.

Sitting down on the Edge of the prom, their legs swung effortlessly as they munched on their Mr Whippy ice creams, Raspberry Ripple for Amy and Chocolate Swirl for The Doctor.
"So...Do you like this?" The Doctor asked to break the silents after they ate their ice-creams.
"Yeah...It's nice." Amy answered as she smiled at his ice cream covered face. "Doctor, you're like a kid!" Amy laughed, "It's all over your face!" she told him, "Here," she passed him her circle flip up mirror from her coat pocket and handed it to him.
"Thanks Pond." he smiled as he tried to wipe the sticky mess of his face. Amy giggled lighty at him before looking out to see. she sighed heavily.
"What's wrong?" The Doctor asked her as he gave her the mirror back.
"Nothing, it's just..."

"Amelia!" a boy shouted, he was much like the child before, strawberry blonde hair etc... But he was much older...6 years old...
"Wha?" She replied as she carried on walking away, she seemed older too.
"Where you going?" He asked as he caught up with her,
"I have to show you something." She answered as she walked to the toy shop. She stood still and grinned. "There, look." she smiled as she pressed her face up againist the glass to get a better view.
"Its the raggedy doctor and"
"And his magic blue box!" They both said in harmony.
"So, you going to buy it?" The 13year old asked her. Her face screwed up and then she turned to look at him.
"Should I?" she asked Him.
"If you want to."

"Your doing it again Amy, snap out of it!" The Doctor said as he shook her. Her eyes Blinked hard and then they gazed at his face.
"Come with me." she told him as she grabbed his hand and dragged him to the corner shop, the toy shop.
"Look." she said as she pointed at the glass. The Doctor looked at the toys and then at her,
"You want a Yo-Yo?" he smiled at her.
"What? No!" she shouted, "There, right there!" She shouted at she pressed her finger against the glass.
"All I see is old toys." he answered.
"Your there!" She exclaimed as she pressed harder.
"No I'm not." He answered.
"Are you blind? Your there, as a doll, and your TARDIS?" Amy shouted so the whole world could listen in.
"Amy, come on let's go." The Doctor told her as she held her shaking hand.
"No!" she shouted even louder, now people were beginning to stare at the duo, she snatched her hand away from the Doctors.
"Come on Amelia." The Doctor said calmly.
"No and don't call me Amelia Doctor!"
"Ok, Ok, but there isn't nothing, trust me, there's nout."
Amy, losing the battle, sighed hard and her hand dragged slowly across the glass before it fell to her sighed.
"I don't believe you." She mumbled as she walked behind the Doctor. The Doctors head turned in her way but then faced forwards.
"Lets go, you clearly need your sleep." The Doctor said as he marched in front, Amy waddled behind mumbling curse words underneath her sweet breath as she kicked the pebble in front of her. Her eyes glanced up for a second when she released the foot steps had gone and the sound of children disappeared.
It was silent. Not even the sound of the crashing waves was heard by anyone or anything.
"D-Doctor?" She asked as she peered around the beach. "Doctor there you are, trying to get away fro-" before she realised it wasn't him at all. Far down the beach Was a tall sand culture, it stood godlike by the tide.
"DOCTOR!" she cried as she stared viciously at the sand statue of him. "STOP IT DOCTOR!" she shouted at it.
"I KNOW THIS AINT YOU! SO COME OUT FROM WHERE EVER YOU ARE!" she shouted, her heart was in her mouth and then from nowhere, she slashed out on this sculpture. It collapsed to the ground, with Amy, the sky suddenly went cold and grey. A murder had been created by little Amelia Jessica Pond.
"No..." she cried as she picked up the sand by her knees. "Come back... Please come back..." she cried even harder and the grains of sand slipped threw her fingers, just like the time She had left. To find him, to save him.

Rain started to spit on her Black leather jacket, the tide started to wash away the remains of the sand Doctor, only now Amy had to retreat, from the beach and to take shelter In the TARDIS.

Inside was grey and gloomy, it didn't glow the yellow slash gold colour like it usually did the gold had been kidnapped from the TARDIS, so why should it show it's happiness? When the blue box clearly wasn't.
Sniffling Amy Pond sat on the step, crying. Her raggedy Doctor had turned into a statue that she murdered and the sea had covered the evidence.

"Hey pretty Amelia, the girl of my dreams." a old man, round about in his 50's exclaimed from in front of her. He hovered feet away from her in the relaxing pose, legs crossed and his elbows lay on them. He was wearing retro clothes and them small hippy sunglasses. This man glowed as bright as a light bulb, but he showed a stern face. His glared at Amy and his long brown hair made his face even...hippy like.
"Who...Who are you? And how do you know who I am?" she mumbled threw the salty tears.
"My dream, your dream...Its all the same hazy daydream...Somewhere between sanity and inspiration!" he told him. "Looking back through your mind's eye, to a place you can go, where everything flows." he smiled at her. "Ice cream?" he asked, suddenly an ice cream appeared from no where and was gripped in his hands.
"No thanks, I had one earlier." she answered, and as quick as the ice cream came it went.
"Maybe later. After all you have, y'know, all the tomorrows in the world..."
"All the tomorrows in the world?" Amy questioned
"Once you've fallen down the kaleidoscope, there's no way back. This dream is forever. For me, for you, for all of us."
"You're trapped here too?"
"Oh yeah, I'm a songbird in a gilded cage...But you can save us, pretty Amelia. You and only you."
"I'm not doing anything till you give me the Doctor back!" she shouted at him. His eyes narrowed before he answered.
"The Doctor? Sorry. He's already closed his eyes in the Blackpool tower...Heave and ho, to and fro... Some advice before I go."
"Wait!" Amy butted in but he was already fading away.
"Beware of the Dark." That was the last words that came out of his mouth.
"Wait! Come back! I hadn't finished! Who are you?" she shouted, wanting to find an Answer Amy left the TARDIS and ran for the tower.
"Doctor!" she called out. "Doctor?"

"Hello." A deep voice smiles at her. In her path was 5 midnight black, in black suits but everyone of them had different colour glasses and but the same colour flower As the glasses pinned on the blazer. All of them lent on a black umbrella.
"What are you?" she asked them. They started to cackle.
"We are the face in the curtain, the creak upon the stair..." The one with red glasses spoke.
"The shiver down your spine, the childhood nightmare." the yellow one laughed as they closed in. Amy pushed past them and made her way onto the pier.
"Run away Amy Pond." the blue one smirked at her.
"Try to escape your own shadow!" the green on laughed down at her. She was already clinging onto the pier bars with dear life. Her legs dangling, meters away from the green zombie like hands that reached for her.
"Give in little Amelia." The red one cackled as they tried to grab her hands and knock her off, the rain began to slam down on her, her hair blew widely threw the wind.
"Submit your fear." the yellow grinned.
"Let the despair wash over you!" the pink one laughed.
"Oh so you're despair...I know a say of fixing that." Amy released. Think Amy Think. What makes You happy? Got it. She thought of one object that made her happy.
"An Ice Cream?" The green one snorted. "That's your idea of a weapon."
"This isn't just any ice cream. It's an M and S ice cream!" She laughed "No it's not a weapon, gloomy-guts. It's a raspberry ripple, with extra sprinkles. I loved these since I was three!" she said as it appeared in her hands. "And it's not a weapon...It just makes me feel happy." she smiled as she took a massive lick of the cold delight. Suddenly, the sun, bright and gold shone threw the gloomy sky, the men in black shouted as the were vaporised. As Amy ate the last part of the ice cream, the music, footprints and sound of children all returned.
"Okay, defiantly an improvement." she said as sue climbed over the bars to safety. Walking down to where the TARDIS was parked that weird guru man appeared in front of her.
"A ticket to ride to the other side." he smiled as he hovered in front of her.
"Oh, so its you again. What do you want me for this time?" she asked.
"We want you." he said pointing at her.
"What for? And don't sprout any more of that magical mystery mumbo-jumbo! Just give me some answers!" she shouted back at hi as she pointed to him. He hovered away in defence, hands in the air.
"Okay you win, I'll spill.." hd started to say.
"I used to be a musician, a singer in a band. My whole future lay ahead of me, glittering like the sea." he explained as he his legs started to emerge from the crossed statue like before. "I found a place I could go... A place in my mind. On the distant shore of my dreams..."
"Where we are now, you mean?" Amy asked as they began to walk to the octopus ride.
"Psychspace!" he exclaimed.
"Psychspace?" Amy quoted.
"A wonderland of mircales...And inspiration." he told me. "I'd return to reality, head full of ideas, excited like a kid on Christmas eve. But I always had to come back, here for more. And as time went by, it got harder to leave. I had to stay a little bit longer and a little bit Longer..." he sighed as they walked.
"Ah. Until you ended up stuck here?
"Yeah and I wasn't the only one." he said as we walked into the octopus ride. Down the steps was people. Wearing black glasses, there mouths hung open as they were fasted to chairs that were in a circle.
"They came here from across the years. We have a painter, a poet...A mathematician." he sighed.
"And now we've got ourselves a Doctor!" Amy exclaimed as she raced to him. "Doctor wake up! What's got into you?" She shook him but he still didn't wake up.
"Say something or...or I'll...I'll slap you into next week!" she shouted threw her pain.
"He's a prisoner, like the rest of us. Part of the great melding of the minds." the hippy dude told her.
"So, what? we're all trapped here? Great! Best day out ever!" she said sarcastically.
"On the other side of the glass...we can still see the world we left behind. The people we left behind." he sighed as he looked out. "The lives we had. The lives we might have had." he sighed harder.
"You still haven't said what you want me for, sunny boy..." Amy interrupted him.
"Everyday, it's gets harder to keep up the pretence. We're exhausted."
"So? Take the rest of the day off!"
"Amy, we're the threads that bind this world together. When we loose hope. When we become disillusioned..." he said as a rainbow colour filled his body and came out threw his fingers. "The reality becomes frayed and thin. And the dark grows more powerful." he shouted. "They're close to consuming psychspace and us along with it."
"Let me guess. You want me to join your merry band and help you maintain this dream-world of yours?" she asked him.
"No, want you to help us escape. With your spirit we might be able to smash the glass... And return to reality."
"And, If i say no? What's happens then?" Amy asked.
"Then we all die here together." he told me.
"They're coming...They're at the door...They're on the stair..." one of the moaned threw the his dead mouth. Amy sat on one of the chairs facing inwards.
"Okay, so what's the plan?" Amy said as she took the dark glasses of the hippy dude.
"Just close your eyes, relax, and drift downstream..."
"Would it kill you to give a straight answer for once?" she moaned before placing her glasses on her eyes.

"Hello and welcome to blue Peter..."
"Amy, we have to do are homework." the 11year old boy with Blonde hair moaned from the table.
"Shh not now!" Amy told him as she sat right in front of the tv.
"Where this week we'll be showing you how to transcend a metaphysical reality!"
"What? Doctor?" she shouted as she pressed her nose on the glass.
"It's the Raggardy Doctor!" amy told the boy.
"What?" he exclaimed as he rushed to her.
"What am I suppose to do?" she asked the tv.
"Well, I can relies this is going to sound very annoying." he explained. "But I can't tell you. You see, you're a shaping Psychspace with your mind, your memories..." he smiled. "This is all willpower! You're as stubborn as a mule Amy Pond. Nobody in the universe can ever tell you what to think! Not even me, this has to come from YOU!" he grinned.

Amy took then glasses off And returned to the dark room with all the sleep like people. Dreaming. Racing to the Doctor She shook him even harder than before
"DOCTOR! WAKE-UP!" She screamed, his glasses fell of his face and he was in complete shock
"Amy? What is it? What can you see?" he said shocked.
Suddenly this massive cloud octopus appeared above the people.
"THAT?" Amy exclaimed as he pointed at it. It hissed madly. All the people woke up and watched it.
"That...That monster was inside are heads?" one of them told her.
"And you didn't know?" Amy shouted over the noise. "This is all a big surprise!"
"It cab manipulate reality, hide itself...but not away from Amy!" The Doctor shouted as he began to run.
"Let's call it Psychic squid! That's not it's name but let's call it that. Has it Ben luring creative minds into it's home dimension. Bur why?" The Doctor shouted.
"To sustain this illusion?" the hippie dude shouted.
"For food? It feeds on peoples brains?" Amy suggested.
"Your both right. But your both wrong. It's been luring people here to build up enough psychic energy to break through to the real world!" the doctor explained
"It wants to escape from this place? Like everybody else?" Amy asked him. But before long the octopus had already grabbed the Doctor and pulled him off the ground.
"But if it gains access to relity. Then reality will become Psychspace! It'll be able to feast on the imaginations of every human being on Earth. Everyone trapped on the planet, trapped in a dream! For all eternity...Foever dreaming!" The Doctor tried to explain as he was being crushed by it's tentacle.
"Oh no, oh no, don't no..." he gasped as he got pulled up to it's mouth.
"DOCTOR!" Amy shouted. Suddenly he was zapped by electricity.
"YAAAAAAAAAHHH!" he exclaimed as he got frazzled
"Help him!" she shouted as he watched him get electrocuted.
"But the dreamers are scared of waking up." a red man in black told us as he walked down the stairs. "So very scared." the pink one agreed.
"Yes we've been hiding from are fear," one shouted as he got up from his chair.
"Denying our terrors for so long..." another added as he got up.
"But the truth has to be faced." one exclaimed as he got up.
"The only way to win... Is to surrender." The hippie smiled. The men in black, raced to the men and their hands shot threw the back of there heads. Turning them into copy's of themselves.
"YES!" one of them exclaimed.
"Wh-What?" Amy stuttered.
"How long have you held us here, you bloated abomination."
"We could have lived!"
"Instead we had slept forever and a day!" The hippy dude shouted as his black ghost swirled to the monster, leading the others.
"BUT NOW THE DREAM IS OVER!" he exclaimed as they raced to the octopus and entered it. The Doctor fell to the ground in the nick of time before the octopus exploded.

"Doctor, Doctor the dark, it's everything!" Amy shouted as she jumped across the stars and the rubble to the Doctor.
"And we're still trapped here!" she exclaimed. The Doctor placed his cold hands on her shoulders and closed his eyes.
"You can still shape whats left of this world. One last time." he told her. She closed her eyes. "Think, Amy! Think blue! Think wooden box! Build it piece by piece." he told her.
Suddenly the TARDIS had appeared in front of them
"Result!" Amy exclaimed, the Doctor took her hand and they raced Towards it.
"Amy..." A voice called as she entered the TARDIS, she turned around to see the Blonde hair boy, she had been seeing threw out. But then he seemed to fade in the stars. She closed the door and raced to the doctor ,who was already talking then into the real world.
"But what about everyone else back there? What happened to them?" Amy asked the Doctor as she ran to the controls.
"They're gone, Amy." he told her. "The dreamers sacrificed themselves to save the world." he said as he pulled the lever.
"The men in black, the Dark. It was the dreamers?" Amy asked confused.
"Creations of the dark corners of the mind...their guilt, their fear, their repair...but still a part of who they were. And in the end, they accepted that." he smiled weakly at her as he placed his hand on her black leather jacket.
"And Amy...That's reality." He said truthfully to her as he gazed into his eyes. Amy didn't like that part of this reality. Her death didn't scare her. It was the Doctors that terrified her.
