A/N: I'm running out of ways to say "I'M SO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED"... ;_;
Also I'm sorry this one's quite short and contains a LOT of canon dialogue - it's quite tricky trying to find places in the conversation where the Master would fit in nicely, without it seeming like I'm just pasting him in, if you see what I mean XD
Anyway, any fans of Paragon who are reading this, I PROMISE I'm going to update it soon. I got completely soaked in the rain the other day, so I was inspired to write a very rainy chapter, which I'm finishing and should be able to upload soon :)

"You graffitied the oldest cliff face in the universe." the Master glared at her.
"You wouldn't answer your phone." River retorted.
"It's not my phone." the Master said, "And maybe if you didn't call at unreasonable hours of the night?
"You heard it, and you didn't pick it up?"
"I was busy! I can't interrupt a cross-dimensional circuit repair job just because River Song's in a spot of trouble... again!"
"It's the universe that might be in trouble this time, Master."
"The whole universe doesn't revolve around you, funnily enough."
"Stop it. Stop it, both of you!" the Doctor scowled at them, "Rassilon, you two deserve each other! River, what do you mean, the universe might be in trouble?"
River picked up a rolled-up piece of parchment and held it out for the Doctor.
"What's this?"
"It's a painting. Your friend Vincent. One of his final works. He had visions, didn't he? I thought you ought to know about this one."
The Doctor took the painting and spread it out on a nearby table.
"Doctor?" Amy leaned over and looked at it, "Doctor, what is this?"
"Well, what does it look like, Amy?" The Master asked in the manner one would ask a child to relate something that was already blatantly obvious.
"Don't patronise me." Amy growled. "It looks like the TARDIS exploding."
"Well then!" the Master raised his eyebrows at her, "That's what it is!"
"It might not be that literal." River said, "Anyway, this is where he wanted you. Date and map reference on the door sign, see?"
"Does it have a title?" the Doctor asked.
"'The Pandorica Opens'."
"The Pandorica?" Amy looked up, "What is it?"
"A box, a cage, a prison." River said, ignoring the Master's mutter of, "A trap?"
"It was built to contain the most feared thing in all the universe." she continued.
"But it's a fairy tale, a legend, it can't be real!" the Doctor was pacing now, up and down the tent.
"If it is real, it's here and it's opening." River said, "And it's got something to do with your TARDIS exploding!"
As the Doctor began getting out maps and charts, Amy whispered to the Master, "Why would the TARDIS even explode in the first place?"
"I don't know." the blond Time Lord shrugged, "Maybe I left the stove on."
A/N: Erm, did I miss something here, or did anyone ever explain exactly WHY the TARDIS decided to explode/not land/rip a hole in reality/whatever? XD
