Chappie seven by AvengersGril_LokisSpy :) great chapter. Please read and review you guys, it means so much to us.


"They're still out there. What do we do now?" Rory asked as the four walked back into the Pandorica chamber.

"Surely if you stop whatever's in the box, then they'll go home?" Harriett pointed out. The Doctor clicked his fingers at her; Amy rolled her eyes.

"Exactly!"

"Right." Rory said, still a little confused.

"Rory, I'm sorry. You're going to have to be very brave now." The Doctor said softly as Amy Pond wobbled past the Roman, still unsteady on her feet after being knocked out.

"Oh, my head." She muttered, as the Doctor steadied her.

"Ahh." He said, opening his mouth wide to indicate that she do the same. She did, somewhat tiredly.

"Just your basic knockout drops. Get some fresh air, you'll be fine." The Doctor said.

"Is it safe up there?" She asked but Harriett had a feeling that she'd go up anyway.

"Not remotely but it's fresh." The Doctor said and Amy nodded muttering 'fine', before moving to go to the stairs. She stopped, standing in front of Rory, who had a slightly hopeful smile in place.

"Oh you're the guy yeah? The one who did the swordy thing." Amy said, making a sword motion with her hand.

"Yeah." Rory said awkwardly; the other two girls looked on sadly.

""Well thanks for the swording. Nice swording." She said before walking off towards the stairs.

"No problem." Rory said, dumbfounded before going to the bottom of the stairs. "My men are up there. They'll look after you."

"Good. Love a Roman." Amy said without turning round; Rory turned back to the Doctor, confused.

"She doesn't remember me. How can she not remember me?!" Rory asked; Harriett and Amy Brookes sighed sadly.

"Because you never existed." The Doctor said sadly; Rory still looked like he didn't get it.


"What are you doing?" Grace asked the Tardis as she shuddered and jerked.

"What's wrong?" River finished, as she zoomed down the Time Vortex.


"There are cracks. Cracks in time. There's going to be a huge explosion in the future, on one particular day. And every other moment in history is cracking around it." The Doctor said; Harriett frowned, biting her lip, her brain whirring.

"So how does that work? What kind of explosion? What exploded?" Rory asked; the Doctor paused.

"Doesn't matter. The cracks are everywhere now. Get too close to them and you can fall right out of the universe." The Doctor answered after a while.

"So… Rory fell through a crack and so now he wasn't ever born?" Harriett asked, finally starting to understand it.

"Basically." The Doctor answered.

"Well, how did I end up here?" Rory asked, bewildered.

"I don't know, you shouldn't have. What happened? From your point of view, what physically happened?" The Doctor asked, trying to figure out what was going on.

"I was in the cave, with you and Amy. I was dying, and then I was just here, a Roman soldier. A proper Roman. Head full of Roman stuff. A whole other life, just here like I'd woken up from a dream. I started to think it was a dream, you and Amy and Leadworth. And then today, in the camp, the men were talking about the visitors. The girl with the red hair. I thought you'd come back for me. But she can't even remember me!" Rory finished, upset.

"Oh, shut up." The Doctor snapped.

"What?" Rory asked as the Doctor threw the box containing the ring to Rory – he caught it with a surprised look on his face.
"Go get her." The Doctor ordered.

"But I don't understand. Why am I here?" Rory asked.

"Because you are. The universe is big. It's vast and complicated and ridiculous, and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles, and that's the theory. Nine hundred years, never seen one yet, but this would do me. Now get upstairs. She's Amy and she's surrounded by Romans. I'm not sure history can take it." The Doctor grinned and Rory nodded before going upstairs. Harriett looked at the girl next to her.

"Go after them but don't get involved, no matter what you know is going to happen." Harriett warned quietly; Amy nodded sadly before running off upstairs. Harriett went over to the Doctor who was watching where Rory had just left.

"Did you believe all that stuff, about Rory being here again being a miracle?" Harriett asked quietly.

"I don't know. There's something strange going on here and I can't figure out what it is." The Doctor answered and Harriett bit her lip, nerves coursing through her body.


The Tardis stopped and shuddered to a halt; Grace and River studied the Tardis nervously.

"Okay? You okay now?" River asked before the pair left, walking out of the Tardis. River looked around, confused.

"Why have you brought me here?" She asked as Grace looked around at Amy's house. The pair spotted the burn marks outside on the grass and Grace cursed loudly. River turned to her surprised as the brunette put her fingers to her temple, cussing.

"What? What's wrong?" River asked, getting worried.

"Oh fudge I'm an idiot! We need to contact the Doctor now and get away from here!" Grace shouted.

"No, I need to figure out why the Tardis brought me here!" River argued and Grace sighed.

"I know why now come on, get back into the Tardis now!" Grace yelled; River folded her arms over her chest, scowling.

"I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on." River demanded and Grace pinched the bridge of her nose, eyes screwed shut in stress.

"Okay, so basically the date is the 26th of June 2010 – the Tardis is going to explode unless we leave now and the Romans are all plastic, duplicates; Nestene Consciousness. They're in a picture book in Amy's house and they are not real. We need to leave here now and we need to contact the Doctor!" Grace shouted. River sighed then nodded and the pair raced back to the Tardis.
