"What are you doing down there, Pond?" The Doctor asked Amy, intrigued, but his mind a little too busy to work it out for himself.

"Oh," Amy said, placing the gadgets back in the box, and shoving it back under the shelf. "Nothing. Just exploring."

The Doctor raised an eyebrow inquisitively, but dismissed it, turning round to the console. Amy stood up, brushed herself off, then walked over to join the Doctor. She noticed Rose stood back, way back on the steps leading up to the main platform, looking in amazement at the console, and the way that the Doctor was moving effortlessly around it, pulling levers and pressing buttons.

"You can come a bit closer." Amy called, and Rose looked up at her, mouth slightly open. "We'll stop you from pressing anything too disastrous."

Rose obediently took two steps forward, now on the edge of the platform, and sidled round to Amy.

"It looks complicated." She said, and Amy chuckled.

"You only really need to know the basic's to fly it, the rest are to fly it well." She told her, and the Doctor glowered from the other side. "He only recently learnt those blue buttons are stabilisers."

"They are blue boringers." The Doctor said stubbornly. "Hold on, Rose." He reminded her, and she followed Amy's lead, grabbing onto the edge of the console in front of her. The ship started to shake into life beneath their feet, and she found herself being almost thrown about.

"Where are we going?" Amy called out over the engine.

"For a little walk down memory lane." The Doctor joked, flicking another switch, which may have done nothing but flip their stomachs over.

"Doctor," Amy called out again, her tone somewhat scolding. "You managed to fly this earlier without me even noticing we had moved." The TARDIS began its wheeze into materialisation. "Why don't you do that more often?"

"Not much to do with me." He told her as the TARDIS landed with a jolt. "I think she wanted to be quiet for Rose." He looked over at her, who was now straightening up, a big smile on her face. "Well done, by the way." He told her.

"What for?" She asked, but he ignored her, almost skipping in excitement to the doorway. They both followed him, stopping short when he turned back to them, looking straight at Rose.

"Rose?"

"Yeah?"

"You have lost your memory." He told her, staring her straight in the eyes.

She looked at him, up at Amy, then back to him. "Yes..."

"You accept that you have forgotten a large chunk of your life." He continued.

"Yes..."

"You therefore also accept that there are lots of things that you don't know, and don't understand."

She paused briefly, looking up at Amy again, who rolled her eyes. "Yes."

"You're being patronising." Amy told him. He ignored her.

"This," he gestured round the room, "is a Time Machine." He watched her carefully, analysed the way her eyebrows raised slightly, how she looked slightly to the side, how she tightened her lips. All of this passed in slightly less than two seconds.

"Ok." She said, and walked around him, opening the door, and stepping out. Amy looked at him, trying not to laugh. He glared at her.

"Is there anything else, Doctor?" She asked with a smile. "How does gravity work?"

He rolled his eyes, and she walked past him too. He stared into the central column of the TARDIS. "What happened to the days when my companions were in awe of me?" He mused to her. He stayed like that for a few more seconds, before he heard Amy calling him from outside.


First things first.

What did everyone think of the FINALE? It was SO GOOD!

Anyway. The next few ones will probably be short, as I have an exam in three days, so they will be written during procrastination. Also, I seem to be lacking the people who usually check the chapters over for spelling and grammar, so it might be a bit rough. Try to look past it?

Love you all
