A/N and now we get into really soul shattering stuff, one of the scenes coming up actually made me tear up while writing it, but this one I just wrote with the feeling that maybe this was what was going through Amy and Rory's minds after they discovered it had worked.

special thanks to Anonymous Miki for supporting this story for so long, and not taking off, after I decided to take the Moffat way out.

chapter base song: caught in the storm, from the TV show Smash


(lights raise and show, Amy and Rory laying off to the side of the stage, by a grave stone, the TARDIS sit's off to the side, looking worse for wear. they sit up sharply)

Rory: Where are we?

(Amy looks over at him, and throws her arms around him, and music starts, Rory pulls back enough to look into Amy's eyes)

Rory: You can push me away, I can take it

(Amy smiles)

Amy: I can make you a promise, and break it

Both: we know how it goes by now

(Rory stands and helps Amy to stand)

Rory: Running off just to see if I chase you

Amy: I pretend that I know how to replace you

both: Still we get tangled up some how

Rory: hear it thunder

Amy: and I wonder

both: how long can I hang on?

I'm caught in the storm
I'm caught in the rain
I'm caught in the rush that hides this pain
I'm ready to drown, but it's comin' down, but I feel so alive

Just let me go, just walk away
If you love someone, you never let them stay
Caught in the storm

Rory: as doors on the TARDIS are closing

Amy: You arrive at the door, standing frozen

Rory: You say you thought you'd find me here

Amy: tell me how I begin to forget you

Rory: When you keep coming back and I let you

both: Love me until you disappear

I'm caught in the storm
I'm caught in the rain
I'm caught in the rush that hides this pain
I'm ready to drown, but it's comin' down, but I feel so alive

Just let me go, just walk away
If you love someone, you never let them stay
Caught in the storm

Let me wash away, you can find me after the flood
Let me wash away

Amy: Caught in the storm

Rory: Caught in the rain

Amy: Caught in the rush that hides this pain

Rory: When you love someone you find a way to stay

Amy: caught in the storm

(the music fades and the Doctor runs onto the stage and catches Amy and Rory in a large hug)

Doctor: We got lucky. We could've blown New York off the planet. I can't ever take the Tardis back there. The timelines are too scrambled. I could have lost you both. Don't ever do that again.

Rory: What did we do? We fixed it. We solved the problem.

Doctor: I was talking to myself.

(River walks onto the stage with a bucket of water, and a rag, and goes over to the TARDIS)

River: It could do with a repaint.

Doctor: I've been busy.

River: Does the bulb on top need changing?

Doctor: I just changed it.

River: So. Rory and Amy, then.

Doctor: Yes. I know, I know.

River: I'm just saying. They're going to get terribly bored hanging round here all day.

Rory: Doctor.

Doctor: Ha!

Rory: Look, next time, could we could just go to the pub?

Doctor: I want go to the pub right now. Are there video games there? I love video games.

River: Right. Family outing, then.

(The Doctor and River go into the Tardis. Rory hangs back.)

Rory: Amy, come and see this.

Amy: What?

Rory: There's a gravestone here for someone with the same name as me.

Amy: What?

(an angel moves and pulls Rory off the stage, and stands where Rory was just standing)

Amy: Doctor!

(the Doctor and River run out of the TARDIS)

River: where the hell did that come from?

Doctor: It's a survivor. Very weak, but keep your eyes on it.

Amy: Where's Rory?

(The Doctor sees the gravestone.)

Doctor: I'm sorry. Amelia, I'm so, so sorry.

Amy: No. No, we can just go and get him in the Tardis. One more paradox.

Doctor: Would rip New York apart.

Amy: No, that's not true. I don't believe you.

River: Mother, it's true.

Doctor: Amy, what are you doing?

Amy: That gravestone, Rory's, there's room for one more name, isn't there?

(Amy starts to walk towards the Angel)
