A/N: Sorry again for the long wait. Only 3 weeks left till I'm out of school and back at uni.
I charged into the TARDIS behind the Doctor. He was carrying a goldfish in a bowl, wearing exactly the same suit he had been wearing for Amy's wedding. "I think that's probably for me." The Doctor called, as we both saw Amy speaking on the phone.
She was standing there in her nightdress, looking more than just a little confused. I was more annoyed then anything. The Doctor had somehow managed to convince me to put on a dress, he threatened to go without me if I didn't get changed.
So eventually I pulled on a simple blue evening dress and the pair of us headed off out while the Ponds slept.
"Hold this." The Doctor said, forcing the fish bowl into Amy's hands.
"And whatever you do, don't drop it." I called to her, keeping lookout at the door.
"Hello? Ah, yes, everything's fine. Don't worry." The Doctor called down the phone, while Amy just stood there baffled. "Well exactly. Why should you be worrying? Who even mentioned worrying?" He asked, wandering around with the phone as he spoke, making Amy keep ducking under the cord.
"Just tell him his mother is fine." I shouted across the room.
The Doctor nodded at me. "She's fine. No, your mum is fine." The Doctor said, before holding the phone against his chest and looking at Amy. "Don't answer this phone. I answer this phone. Or Star." He told her, a little bit too snappy for my liking.
"Where have you been?" Amy asked him, looking over at me. I was still keeping a check on what was going on outside.
"Party. Just a party." He told her, before getting back on the phone. "Um, yes, your mum is here, actually, but she can't come to the phone at the moment. Well, she's busy." He said, glancing at the fish bowl for a second. "Oh, you know, the Commonwealth." I couldn't stop myself from letting a little laugh slip out.
"It's your son, ma'am, he wants to talk to you." The Doctor said, actually speaking to the goldfish in the round bowl. "We can't let him see you like this, well, hear you, not that he could hear you, you're a fish."
"Rambling!" I shouted, getting him to shut up.
That was when the phone started to ring again, we were rather popular. "Sorry, I've got another call coming in." He told the Prince if Wales before switching the calls over.
"I bet you it's the ambassador. And I bet you he is going to be shouting as well." I called, a grin on my face.
"Hello?" The Doctor asked, looking at me suspiciously. "There is not a bit of use yelling, ambassador." I gave the Doctor a smug grin. "Your warrior chief is trapped in my TARDIS. And until you've turned Her Majesty here back into a human being, he's staying put. Don't worry, he's perfectly safe…" The Doctor trailed off when he spotted something on the rolled up newspaper sitting on the console.
"Doctor? I don't like that look on your face. Nothing good ever happens when you have that look on your face." I said to him, starting to worry a little.
The Doctor swallowed. "Just popping you on hold." He said to the ambassador, before placing the phone down and looking closer at the newspaper. There was a squished, and most certainly dead, fly on it. "What have you done?" He asked, glancing at Amy.
"I thought it was a fly." Amy said innocently. Well, how was she to know that the fly was a warrior chief.
"So much for the slaughter of ten billion souls." I mumbled, resting my head against the side of the door.
"What is going on?" Amy cried, not having the foggiest about anything that was happening.
"We were at a party. There was a slight incident." The Doctor told her.
"As there always is with you around, Doctor." I called.
"What, so you sneak out at night to parties?" Amy asked us, clearly not impressed. "Hang on. You're dressed up." She said, looking from the Doctor and over to me. "You never dress up. And you never wear a dress."
"He threatened me." I shouted in protest.
"Was River at the party?" Amy asked.
"Oh, why would she be there?" The Doctor asked, frowning at Amy a little.
I took one last look outside before closing the door and heading over to the console where the Doctor was getting frustrated.
"Don't… just don't lie to me, Doctor. You're rubbish at it." Amy told him.
"Look, we do not sneak out at night to go to parties with River Song." The Doctor told her, placing his top hat on his head.
"He just sneaks out to parties with me." I said, going and standing beside him. "He is allowed to do that. Call them dates if you want. And we do not take River on our dates."
"Hmm, how is she?" Amy asked.
"Fine." The Doctor said, without even thinking. I quickly whacked him on the chest for being such an idiot.
"See? Rubbish."
"Oh, look, sorry, but we are in the middle of a thing." The Doctor said, taking the bowl from Amy and walking towards the doors again with me beside him.
"Doctor, Summer." Amy called, getting us to stop and look at her. "I… I need to talk to you." She said, coming down to steps to where we were. "There is a reason that I couldn't sleep."
"Rory!" The Doctor shouted, right in my ear.
"What are you doing?" Amy hissed at him.
"You've got the serious face on. I always shout for Rory when you've got the serious face. Rory, she's having an emotion." He called again.
"What? What's wrong, Amy?" Rory asked, coming into view and doing up his dressing gown.
"Why are you calling him?" Amy asked.
The Doctor just shrugged at her. "It's his turn."
Amy looked from the Doctor to Rory. "You two have turns?"
"Doctor, we have a major problem here. Bigger than Amy's emotions." I told him, my wide eyes staring at the fish bowl.
"No!" The Doctor cried, looking at the fish in the bowl. "It's the wrong fish. I've taken the wrong fish."
I quickly pulled the door open. "River, we've got the wrong fish!" I shouted out to her.
"Ah, look, sorry, you two. I've made a mistake." The Doctor told Amy and Rory who were both watching us. "We've got three hours to save the Commonwealth."
"What happens in three hours?" Rory asked, scratching his head and yawning a little.
"The pet shops open." I told him, as the Doctor took his hat back from on top of Amy's head. "Come on, we need to go." I said dragging him out of the door. Whenever we went out, we always managed to find trouble. Just one time, just once I would have liked to enjoy the evening with him and not have to save anyone.
The four of us were hanging around the console. I was still annoyed with the Doctor for what happened the other night, with the Queen, and the fish. And River Song showing up. The Doctor insisted that he hadn't invited her, but how else would she have known exactly where we were?
Needless to say, I was still in a rather bad mood. We hadn't been spending as much time together since the fiasco with the pirate ship. I was starting to wonder if I had done something wrong.
"And then we discovered it wasn't the Robot King after all, it was the real one. Fortunately, I was able to re-attach the head." I heard the Doctor tell Rory.
"Do you believe any of this stuff?" He said, turning to his wife.
There was a very seriously look on Amy's face. "I was there."
"Oh it's the warning lights." The Doctor cried, as something starting flashing and bleeping on the console. "I'm getting rid of those. They never stop." I flinched a little when he actually kicked the console.
"Oi, stop kicking her or I am going to kick you." I growled at him, as Rory and Amy headed down below.
"What are you snappy for?" He asked me, still taking things out on the console.
"Forget it." I told him, walking over to the side and leaning on the railings. I just managed to catch the end of the Pond's conversation.
"Yeah, two hundred years in the future." Rory whispered to his wife.
"Yes, but it's still going to happen." I frowned, I wanted to ask them what was going to happen, but there was a knocking on the doors of the TARDIS. "What was that?" Amy asked, as the Doctor and I just stared at the door.
"The door…"
"It knocked." I finished, slowly walking over towards it.
"Right. We are in deep space." Rory pointed out.
The Doctor followed behind me. "Very, very deep." There was knocking again on the door as we both stood by it. "And somebody's knocking."
"Well, might as well see who it is." I said, nudging the Doctor forward, hinting that he should open the doors.
He pulled both the doors opened and we couldn't help but smile when we saw what was there, waiting for us. It was a box, a small glowing box. "Oh, come here. Come here, you scrumptious little beauty." The Doctor said holding his hand out to the box.
Except he didn't quite managed to grasp it in time and the box flew into the TARDIS, scaring Amy a little as it whizzed past her. It came back and hit the Doctor in the chest, before stopping in front of me.
I reached my hand out and the box just dropped into it.
"A box?" Rory called, wanting to know what was going on.
"Doctor, Summer, what is it?" Amy called as the Doctor sat up on the floor where the box had knocked him down to.
"We've got mail. Time Lord emergency messaging system. In an emergency, we'd wrap up thoughts in psychic containers and send them through time and space. Anyway, there's a living Time Lord still out there, and it's one of the good ones." The Doctor told them excitedly.
"Not one of the good ones, one of the best." I told him, smiling away.
"You said there weren't any other Time Lords left." Rory pointed out to him.
"There are no Time Lord left anywhere in the universe. But the universe isn't where we're going." I told her, charging up to the console and over to her. "See that snake? The mark of the Corsair." I told her.
"Fantastic bloke. He had a snake as a tattoo in every regeneration. Didn't feel like himself unless he had the tattoo." The Doctor told them.
"Or herself, a couple of times." I pointed out. "Oh, she was a bad girl." I looked at the Doctor with wide eyes. "I can't believe he's out there. You know, I owe so much to him, I think we better go and help." The Doctor just smiled at me and nodded.
Then the console started sparking and the whole room started to shake. "Whoa! What is happening?" Rory shouted over the noise while the Doctor and I worked on getting everything stable again.
"We're leaving the universe." The Doctor called back to him.
"How can you leave the universe?" Amy asked.
"With enormous difficulty. Right now I'm burning up TARDIS rooms to give us some welly. Goodbye, swimming pool." The Doctor said. "Goodbye scullery. Sayonara squash court seven." There was another explosion from the console, and eventually we landed with a thump.
"Okay, okay. Where are we?" Amy wondered, pulling herself together and straightening herself out.
"Outside the universe, where we've never, ever been." The Doctor told her, actually rather excited.
"Doctor, something's wrong." I told him, feeling sick and having a pounding in my head. The pendant on the end of my chain started glowing. "Doctor…"
All the lights in the TARDIS went out. "Is that meant to be happening?" Rory asked, slightly concerned.
"The power, it's draining. Everything's draining. But it can't. That's… that's impossible." The Doctor told him, trying to work out what was going on.
"What is that?" Rory asked, as everything went even darker and silent in the room.
"It's as if the Matrix, the soul of the TARDIS, has just vanished. Where would it go?" The Doctor wondered in frustration.
"Doctor!" I shouted, finally getting his attention.
"Star, what is it? What's wrong?" He asked in a panic, coming over to where I was leaning against the console.
"She still here, somewhere." I managed to breath through the pain.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" There was more concern in his voice now, as I griped onto the side of the console so tightly that I thought I was going to break something.
"Sick, headache, burning necklace." I mumbled to him, forcing back the tears that were forming from the pain.
He pulled out his screwdriver and scanned my pendant. "Okay, it's the link. It's trying to pull you to her. So she isn't gone, she's just somewhere else."
"Great, now can you make the pain stop?" I asked him, hoping that it would all just stop and go away already.
He looked at me nervously before doing something to my necklace. Straight away I felt the pain lessen and the sickness fade. "Better?" He asked, pulling me away form the console and into his arms.
"No." I mumbled. "What the hell is wrong with me? You know something, Doctor, I know you do, I can see it on your face."
"We'll talk about it later, I promise. Now, do you want to go and find your cousin?" He asked me, kissing the top of my head lightly. "I promise, everything will be fine."
"I guess we better go outside then. He always was good at getting himself into trouble. Must be a family trait." I told them all, dragging the Doctor with me to the door.
He pulled it open and we cautiously stepped out, before Amy and Rory followed us. "So what kind of trouble is your friend in?" Amy asked.
"He was in a bind. A bit of a pickle. Sort of distressed." The Doctor told her, looking around at the different scrap we could see all around us.
"Ah, you can't just say you don't know." Amy teased.
"Amy, it's my cousin. It could be a number of things. Like I said, trouble seemed to follow my family. My trouble is this thing holding onto my hand." I said, tugging the Doctor a little. He didn't get angry or annoyed, he just smiled at me, which didn't seem right to me at all.
"But what is this place? The scrap yard at the end of the universe?" Rory asked.
"Not end of, outside of." The Doctor corrected him.
"How can we be outside of the universe? The universe is everything." Mr Pond protested as we carried on walking around the area.
"Imagine a great big soap bubble with one of those tiny little bubbles on the outside." The Doctor said, his arm thrown over Rory's shoulders.
"Okay."
"But it's nothing like that." I pointed out as the Doctor stopped in front of the TARDIS.
"Completely drained. Look at her." He complained, looking at the blue box.
"Wait, so we're in a tiny bubble universe, sticking to the side of a bigger bubble universe." Amy questioned, trying to make sense of it all.
"Yeah. No. But if it helps, yes. This place is full of rift energy. She'll probably refuel just by being here. Now, this place. What do we think, eh? Gravity's almost Earth normal, air's breathable, but it smells like…" The Doctor rambled, trying to work out exactly where we were.
"Armpits." My red haired friend suggested. I had to nod in agreement with her.
"What about all this stuff?" Rory asked, looking at the junk surrounding us some more. "Where did this come from?"
"Well, there's a rift. Now and then stuff gets sucked through it. Not a bubble, a plughole. The universe has a plughole and we've just fallen down it." The Doctor answered. But something told me there was a lot more to it than just that.
"Thief! Thief!" A woman cried as she ran towards us. "You're my thief! And you're my sister!" She called, pointing at me.
"She's dangerous! Guard yourself." Someone behind the woman who was charging for us called out.
The woman grabbed hold of the Doctor. "Look at you. Goodbye. No, not goodbye. What's the other one?" She asked, acting completely mental. But there was something familiar about her, I was just getting a feeling that I knew her from somewhere.
That was when she turned to me. "Oh look, it's you. Except it's not you." She told me, before giggling and being pulled back by someone.
"Watch out. Careful. Keep back from her. Welcome, strangers. Lovely. Sorry about the mad person." A man said, helping keep the mad woman back.
"Why am I a thief? What have I stolen?" The Doctor asked, gripping my hand tightly.
"Me. You're going to steal me. No, you have stolen me. You are stealing me. Oh, tenses are difficult, aren't they?" She said. My eyes widened as something clicked in my head, but it just didn't seem possible.
"Oh, well, we are sorry my dove. She's off her head. They call me Auntie." The older woman who had been chasing her said while the man one played with Amy's hair.
"And I'm Uncle. I'm everybody's uncle." The man introduced himself as, shaking hands with the Doctor. I kept my eyes focused on the woman who seemed to have more energy then she knew what to do with. "Just keep back from this one. She bites."
"Do I? Excellent." The woman said, rushing over to me, she gave me a sad look before biting the Doctor's ear. I felt the pain a little as he cried out in pain. "Biting's excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner."
"Sorry. She's doolally." Uncle told us all.
"No, I'm not doolally. I'm… I'm… it's on the tip of my tongue. I've just had a new idea about kissing. Come here you." She came straight at me and tried to grab my face. I quickly ran and hid behind Amy and Rory while Auntie and Uncle tried to stop her.
"No, Idris, no." Auntie called.
"Oh, but now you're angry. No, you're not. You will be angry. The little boxes will make you angry." The woman, Idris, said to the Doctor before turning to face me. "You're still you. You're still my sister." She told me, making me frown a little.
"Sorry? The little what? Boxes?" The Doctor asked, feeling completely and utterly lost.
"Oh, ho, no. Your chin is hilarious." She said, poking fun at the Doctor. "It means the smell of dust after rain." Idris said suddenly, looking at Rory.
"What does?" Rory asked, as I came out from behind him and made my way back over to the Doctor.
"Petrichor."
Now it was Rory's turn to be confused. "But I didn't ask."
"Not yet. But you will." Idris told him.
"No. No, Idris. I think you should have a rest." Auntie told her.
"Rest, yes, yes, good idea." Idris said. "I'll just see if there's an off switch." The next thing any of us knew, she collapsed, the Doctor and Rory only just managing to catch her.
"Is that it? She dead now?" Uncle asked. "So sad."
"No, she's still breathing." Rory said, checking the woman over.
"Nephew, take Idris somewhere she can not bite people." I turned around and saw a creature I had seen in the Doctors memories, except this one had green eyes.
"Oh, hello!" The Doctor called when he spotted him as well.
"Doctor, what is that?" Amy asked, a little freaked out.
"Oh, no, it's all right. It's an Ood. Oods are good. Love an Ood. Hello, Ood. Can't you talk?" He looked at the plastic ball clipped to the Oods clothing. "Oh, I see, it's damaged. May I?" The Ood nodded and straight away the Doctor was looking at the ball. "Might just be on the wrong frequency."
"Nephew was broken when he came here. Why, he was half dead." Auntie told us. "House repaired him. House repaired all of us."
A few seconds later, a voice I knew so well was ringing through the air. "If you are receiving this message, please help me. Send a signal to the High Council of the Time Lords on Gallifrey. Tell them I'm still alive. I don't know where I am. I'm on some rock-like planet." But it wasn't just the once voice, there were so many, all of them calling out for help.
"What was that? Was that him?" Rory asked, as the Ood's speech orb went off.
"No, no. It's picking up something else. But that's… that's not possible." The Doctor said, looking at me. We both had wide eyes, neither of us could believe what we had just heard. In all the noise, I could have sworn I had heard my fathers voice as well.
"That's… that's…" I didn't really know what to say.
"Who else is here?" Tell me. Show me. Show me!" The Doctor ordered, looking at Auntie and Uncle.
"Just what you see. Just the four of us, and the House. Nephew, will you take Idris somewhere she where she can't hurt nobody?" Auntie asked the green eyes Ood.
"The House?" I asked her. "What's the House?"
"House is all around you, my sweets." The woman told us while Uncle jumped up and down. There was something about her that I just didn't trust, I couldn't. "You are standing on him. This is the House. This world. Would you like to meet him?"
"Meet him?" Rory repeated, making sure he had heard right.
The Doctor smiled at me a little. He knew how I was feeling, and I was just getting so anxious. "We'd love to." He said, taking hold of my hand tightly.
"This way. Come, please come." Uncle said, as he and Auntie started walking forwards.
We hung back a little and spoke with Amy and Rory. "What' wrong? What were those voices?" Amy asked us in a whisper.
"Time Lords. It's not just the Corsair. Somewhere close by, there are lots and lots of Time Lords." The Doctor told her.
"Which makes me wish to be here even less. Doctor, did you hear…" I trailed off, not wanting it to be true, hoping that it wasn't really who I thought it was.
"I'm sorry." He whispered to me, squeezing my hand a little. That just confirmed what I had heard.
We wasted no time in following into some part of a spaceship. "Come. Come, come. You can see the House and he can look at you, and he…" Uncle said.
The Doctor and I both looked down the grating in on the floor. "I see. This asteroid is sentient." He mumbled.
"We walk on his back, breath his air, eat his food." Auntie said.
"Smell its armpits." Amy whispered, making me giggle a little.
"And do my will." A voce rang out, speaking through Auntie and Uncle. "You are most welcome, travellers."
"Doctor, that voice. That's the asteroid talking?" Amy asked.
"Yes. So you're like a sea urchin. Hard outer surface, that's the planet we're walking on. Big, squashy, oogly thing inside, that's you." The Doctor said.
"That is correct, Time Lord." House replied.
"Ah, so you've met Time Lords before?" I asked. I had to stop my nerves from getting the better of me, I was worried about everything.
"Many travellers have come through the rift, like Auntie and Uncle and Nephew. I repair them when they break."
The Doctor looked at me, he was worried as well. "So there are Time Lords here, then?" He asked the House.
"Not any more, but there have been many TARDISes on my back in days gone by."
"Well, there won't be any more after us. Last Time Lord. Last TARDIS." The Doctor told him, making me frown a little. "I don't want him to know you are as well." He told me, hearing what I was thinking.
"A pity. Your people were so kind. Be here in safety, Doctor. Rest, feed, if you will." The House told us.
"We're not actually going to stay here, are we?" Rory asked, a worried look on his face.
"Well, it seems like a friendly planet. Literally. Mind if we poke around a bit?" The Doctor asked Auntie.
"You can look all you want. Go. Look." Auntie replied before looking at Amy. "House loves you." She said, playing with her hair.
"Come on then, gang. We're just going to… er… see the sights." The Doctor said, tugging at my hand and pulling me along with him.
"Theta, I don't like this, I really, really don't like this." I told him.
"Hey, it's okay, just calm down. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."
"Thief! Sister!" We heard a woman shout. "Thief! Sister!"
We stopped walking and the Doctor shushed Amy and Rory, only Rory didn't seem to understand. "So, as soon as the TARDIS is refuelled, we go, yeah?" He asked.
"No. There are Time Lords here. We heard them, and they need us." The Doctor told him firmly.
"You told me about your people, you told me what you did." Amy said. It was true, the Doctor and I had told her so much about what had happened back at home. I had even told her some of the things that had happened to me, I have even told her about Joneu before I had told the Doctor.
"Yes, yes, but if they're like the Corsair, they're good ones and we can save them." The Doctor said, kissing the top of my head to try and help me relax.
But it was far from working. "Save my cousin, yes. Save someone else we both heard, I'd rather not." I mumbled.
"And then you tell them you destroyed the others?" Amy asked him.
"I can explain. Tell them why I had to." The Doctor protested. Now it was my turn to try and reassure him.
"You want to be forgiven."
"Don't we all?" the Doctor asked quietly.
"I forgive you. I'll always forgive you." I told him, reaching up and giving him a quick peck on the lips. "Amy…" I said, turning to face her.
"What do you need from me?" She asked, knowing that I was going to ask something of her.
"The Doctor's screwdriver." I told her.
"I left it in the TARDIS. It's in my jacket." He finished, knowing I didn't like what was happening.
"You're wearing your jacket." Rory pointed out.
"My other jacket."
"You have two of those?"
I smiled a little. "No, he has several."
"Okay, I'll get it. But Doctor, Summer, listen to me. Don't get emotional because that's when you make mistakes." Amy told us, before tossing her phone to the Doctor.
"Yes, boss." The Doctor said as he caught it.
"I'll call you from the TARDIS. Rory, look after them." She said, before heading off.
"Rory, look after her." He instantly knew what I was saying and went after Amy.
We both watched him go and we started walking forwards again. "Doctor, there is so much about this place that is wrong. Auntie and Uncle, that woman, Idris. If there are more Time Lords here, then where the hell are they?" I asked him.
"I don't know, but we'll find out. They have to be here somewhere."
A short time later, Amy's phone started ringing. "Hey, we're here. Screwdriver's in your jacket, yeah?" Amy asked the Doctor.
"Yeah, it's around somewhere. Have a good look." He said, as I glanced at the screwdriver that was in his hand.
He ended the call and I just looked at him. "Safe?"
The Doctor nodded at me. "Safe." Amy and Rory were now locked in the TARDIS. Neither of us thought it was safe for them to be out there, so we done what we thought was best.
"Come on. Where are you? Now, where are you all?" The Doctor asked as we searched around some more for the long lost Time Lords. "Where are you?" He pulled back a curtain, revealing a small alcove.
"Well, they can't all be in here." I said, looking at the size of it. There was barely enough space for the Doctor and I to stand in there.
That was when we heard it, more chattering. We both turned and looked at a cupboard, and the Doctor slowly opened it. I felt my hearts drop when I saw the mass of boxes in there. It was full of them, just like the one that came knocking on the TARDIS doors.
The Doctor and I both spotted Auntie and Uncle come and stand behind us. "Just admiring your Time Lord distress signal collection. Nice job. Brilliant Job." The Doctor said. "Really thought we had some friends here, but this is what the Ood translator picked up. Cries for help from the long dead. How many Time Lords have you lured here the way you lured me. What happened to them all?" The Doctor asked, trying to keep himself calm.
"House. House is kind and he is wise." Auntie told us.
"House repairs you when you break. Yes, I know. But how does he mend you?" The Doctor asked before looking at Uncle. "You've got the eyes of a twenty year old." He told him.
"Thank you."
"No. Oh, no. I mean literally. Your eyes are thirty years younger than the rest of you. Your ears don't match, your right arm is two inches longer than your left, and how's your dancing?" The Doctor asked him. "Because you've got two left feet."
"Patchwork people." I said quietly.
The Doctor squeezed my hand tightly. "You've been repairs and patched up so often, I doubt there's anything left of what used to be you. I had an umbrella like you once." He said, slapping his hand on Auntie's arm.
"Oh, now, it's been a great arm for me, this." She said, showing it off to us.
I thought I was going to be sick. There, on her arm, was the snake tattoo that my cousin always used to have. "Corsair…" I felt a tear slip down my cheek. I thought that maybe, just maybe, someone kind from my family had survived. It turned out I was completely wrong.
"He was a strapping big bloke, wasn't he, Uncle?" Auntie said, glancing at the patchwork man beside her.
"Big fellow."
"I got the arm and then Uncle got the spine and the kidneys." She told us, making me want to throw up even more.
"Kidneys." Uncle confirmed.
"You gave me hope, and then you took it away. That's enough to make anyone dangerous. God knows what it will do to me. Basically, run." The Doctor spat at them.
"Poor Time Lord. Too late. House is too clever." Uncle told us, before dashing off with Auntie.
"They killed him, and cut him up." I whispered to the Doctor, not finding the strength to use my voice.
He didn't say a word, he just wrapped his arms around me tightly and held me close to him. He didn't let me go until he reached into his pocket to pull out the phone that was ringing again.
"No sonic screwdriver. Also the doors seemed to have locked behind us. Rory thinks there's a perfectly innocent explanation, but I think you liked to us." Amy said.
"Time Lord stuff. Needed you out of the way." He told her, still keeping his arm around me and holding me close.
"What, we're not good enough for your smart new friends?" She retorted. It was clear that she was less than happy with what we had done to her and Amy, but it was for their safety.
"The boxes will make you angry." I whispered. "Doctor, how could she know?" I asked him.
"Summer, what are you talking about?" Amy asked having heard what I said to the Doctor.
"Stay put. Stay exactly where you are." The Doctor told her, as we started to make our way around the place to find that woman again.
A/N: So I hope you guys liked it. I didn't want to change the title of the episode, that would have just spoiled it all.
Anyway, it's not just the Doctor that get's to talk to the old girl, Summer will as well. But it's not as emotional for her as it is for the Doctor.
Don't want to bore you all too much, so remember to review, they make me smile. And thank you to all those who have reviewed. Also a thank you to those who have favourited/followed the story.
Pippa.
