A/N ~ Wasn't particularly happy with this chapter, re-wrote it three times and I'm still not completely satisfied. Oh well, hope it's alright.

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who... or Matt Smith for that matter, but If I did I would be very happy.

Lorna picked up a pile of old raggedy blankets and made her way back over to the trio. They didn't have much, but it would do.

Amy cupped the Doctors cheek in her hand and gently wiped away a tear that ran down his cheek.

"Hey," she smiled "gotcha."

Lorna handed over the small pile of scratchy blankets to Amy, the Doctor was shivering from the coldness of the cave.

Amy gently laid one of the blankets over the Doctor, the Doctor never left her gaze.

"Your going to be fine" she smiled reassuringly, she looked down and into his eyes.

"Oh Pond" the Doctor smiled at her faintly.

Rory was already checking over the Doctor, his nurse instincts kicking in.

"Fractured clavicle and mild concussion" said Rory.

"I could have told you that" replied the Doctor rolling his eyes.

"I'm just trying to help," said Rory "you've sprained your ankle, that's why you couldn't put weight on it. You're our top priority Doctor, you were lucky to even survive that fall. Now, how many fingers am I holding up?"

The Doctor sighed "I've been through this, it's some number between one and ten!"

Rory groaned and ran a hand through his short hair, he was beginning to loose his patience, "look I-"

"Rory!" Amy interrupted, Rory sighed and sat back against the wall, resting his head back, it had been a long and tiring day.

The Doctor stifled a yawn as Amy kissed him on the forehead, "we get out of here tomorrow" she said. He nodded and closed his eyes, letting out a long tired sigh.

Amy sat next to Rory against the wall.

Lorna joined them, slumping down against the rock, "They're not that bad really, if you get to know them" said Lorna quietly, Amy smiled and nodded.

Lorna rested her head on Amy's shoulder, "I think they need to get to know you better. You're actually quite nice," she said, Amy could only just make out what the end of her sentence was as it was muffled by a yawn.

Amy chuckled "thanks" she whispered.

As they all gently fell asleep, the only noise left in the cave was the steady drip-drop of water.


Rory yawned as he slowly opened his eyes, he shifted uncomfortably against the rocky wall. Amy and Lorna were also stirring, eyes blinking against the dull light of the weak torches.

Amy sat up slowly and stretched out her arms, she had been very uncomfortable against the rocks, but surprisingly still found it easy to sleep.

As she glanced around the dimly lit cave her eyes snapped wide open, she grabbed Rory's wrist. "Rory" she said suddenly.

"Mmm?" Rory replied rubbing his eyes groggily, he yawned again and rubbed the back of his neck.

"He's gone."

Now she had his full attention.

They quickly scrambled to their feet, Lorna stayed resting against the rocks, barely awake. The pile of blankets had been tossed out of the way and there was no sign of the Doctor.

"Doctor?" Amy called.

"Not too loud," hissed Rory shushing her, "someone might hear you!"

"Don't shush me!" Amy snapped, "where the hell could he be?" she was obviously panicking. Rory knew if he tried to calm her he would only get slapped.

"Don't worry Ponds."

They both jumped and turned around, and to their relief they saw the Doctor squeezing back through the crevasse in the rocks, and back into the cave. Rory noticed he was still limping. "Just assessing the situation" he grinned.

If he wasn't injured Amy would have slapped him for giving her a thirty second heart attack. Instead she hugged him. The Doctor winced as his shoulder was jarred slightly but laughed lightly.

"I see you're feeling better then?" Amy chuckled as she pulled away from the hug.

"You know me Pond" he winked, "always ok."

Amy smiled and ruffled his hair that was already a mess.

"So are we getting out of here then?" asked Rory.

Lorna pushed herself up from the uneven ground and stretched, she walked cautiously to the Doctors side. He looked down to her and his smile slowly drooped.

"I'm sorry" he said quietly, unable to quite make eye contact with the young girl.

Lorna shook her head and smiled, she took the Doctors hand and looked up at him, her beautiful green eyes glistening.

"Don't be, your nice" she smiled, Amy and Rory chuckled.

"Thanks," he replied, a small smile tugging the corners of his lips.

"Friends?" asked Lorna raising her eyebrows.

The Doctor squeezed her hand gently, "friends" he nodded.

Please review, I would really appreciate reviews for this chapter as Im not really sure I like it very much.

Thanks, and merry nearly-Christmas.
