So I live in America and after I watched the Almost people I had to cheat and watch to see what happened in A Good Man Goes to War, and oh my god was it brilliant :D I rate it 15500/10. It feels like looking at your XMAS presents without the guilt :D Also Random Reader thanks for answering my question about the 1969 thing I knew I wasn't alone in noticing it. And at the end of this chapter I put up some good DW youtube vids to watch :D
"This is cold even for you" River told the Doctor.
"Or hello as people used to say" the Doctor told her.
"Doctor?" I asked.
"I just popped out to get my special straw it adds more fizz" he said. I felt myself starting to cry again except I didn't know if they were happy or sad tears.
"You're ok" Amy said.
"Of course I'm ok, I'm always ok, I'm the king of ok. Wait forget that, that's a rubbish title" the Doctor said hugging Amy.
"Oh look Rory the Roman now that's a good title" the Doctor said hugging Rory who looked as confused as the rest of us.
"River Song oh you bad girl what's brought you here this time" the Doctor asked. But River slapped him across the face.
"Ok ow" he said. Then he looked at me.
"Darcy what's wrong?" he asked looking completely worried and then I slapped him across the face for making me think he was dead again and for leaving me at the café.
"What did I do? Is it something I haven't done yet?" he asked rubbing his cheek.
"Yes it is" River answered for the both of us. And then I gave him a really tight hug not wanting to let go.
"I don't understand how you can be here?" Rory asked poking the Doctor in the chest once we finally let go of each other.
"I was invited which is why I left the café" the Doctor explained to me.
"But how'd you get here?" he asked me. I took out my envelope and showed it to him.
"River, Darcy what's going on?" Amy asked.
"Amy ask him how old he is" River ordered.
"That's a bit personal isn't it" the Doctor retorted.
"Ask him how old he is" River repeated. We all looked at him.
"Alright I'm 909" he admitted.
"So where does that leave us? Jim the fish? Have we done Jim the fish yet?" River asked sounding as if she was about to lose it.
"Who's Jim the Fish" the Doctor laughed. I just kept staring at him completely amazed that he was alive.
"I don't understand?" Amy asked.
"I think you do" I said looking at her. But I could see she still didn't get it.
"I don't, why are we all here?" the Doctor asked.
"Some one recruited us for a mission that had something to do space in 1969 and man called Canton Delaware III" River explained.
"Who recruited us?" the Doctor asked.
"Someone who trusts you very much" River said. The Doctor looked at me thinking it was me but I shook my head.
"So who is it?" the Doctor asked.
"Spoilers" River smiled. And I rolled my eyes hearing my least favorite word in the universe again. We went to the Tardis and the Doctor was walking around trying to get it started.
"1969 that's an easy year to remember it's funny though how some aren't like 1482 that's full of glitches. So now then Canton Everett Delaware III. How many of those can there be? Well three" the Doctor answered his own question. Amy nudged me and gave me a signal to follow her. So we walked down below the console and River followed us.
"I still don't get it" Amy said plopping down.
"The Doctor we saw on the beach was a future version of himself" I said pointing up to the present Doctor.
"So he's still going to die then?" Amy asked.
"We're all going to do that in the end sweetie" River told her.
"But let's not sit here and plan it. So the Doctor knowing he's going to die recruits a younger version of himself and all of us to… to what exactly? Avenge him?" Rory asked us as he joined us below the console.
"No that's not his style" River shook her head.
"Then save him at least" I guessed, looking up at the Doctor through glass floor knowing that he was trying to eavesdrop on us while looking busy up above.
"So we tell him then" Amy said.
"No we can't, it would rip a hole open in the universe. We can't even tell the Doctor we've seen his future self. This is his own past he's dealing with." River told us.
"But he's done it before" I reminded her.
"And in fairness the universe did explode" Rory added.
"I'm being extremely clever up here and no one is standing around looking impressed what's the point of having you all" the Doctor told us hanging upside down. River and I both rolled our eyes at him.
"I just want to slap him sometimes" I told River and she nodded.
"But aren't you two afraid for him?" Amy asked. I nodded.
"The Doctor's death dosen't frighten me. It's mine that does and believe me there is a worst day coming for me" River said as we all walked back up top.
"Time isn't a straight line, it's all bumpy wumpy and there's all loads of boring stuff like Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday afternoons. But now Saturday is a day where anything can happen (AN: Also it's the day Doctor Who is on which is why Saturdays are awesome) the Tardis can't help but go for a party, so I give her 1969 and she gives us space in the 1960's and as for Canton Everett Delaware III, I looked him up and this is where he is" the Doctor said showing us this screen with a map on it.
"Washington D.C." Amy read out for us.
"Oh sweet the 8th grade field trip I never got to go on" I said ready to walk out but the Doctor held me back and I realized we hadn't landed.
"No we are not going to Washington D.C." the Doctor told me.
"So where are we going?" Rory asked.
"Home, well at least for you two back to Leadworth so you can make babies, and you River are going back to prison. While Darcy and I have a flying lesson in 1911" the Doctor said going and sitting down in the pilots chair on the Tardis. We all looked at him.
"What a summon from an anonymus person. Do you all really think I would listen to it?" the Doctor asked us as if we where stupid.
"Yes you should. In fact you really need to" I told him.
"Well then who is it?" he asked us. We all froze.
"Oh come on don't play games with me I know you all know. So why are you not telling me?" he asked.
"You're going to have to trust us this time" River told him.
"Trust you" the Doctor said disbelievingly.
"Yes" River nodded.
"Alright then who are you?" the Doctor asked. She stayed silent while the Doctor bombarded her with questions.
"Trust me then" I said he looked at me.
"Ok I'm listening" he told me.
"You have to do this and you can't ask why" I told him feeling terrible for saying this.
"Are you being threatened?" he asked looking a bit protective now.
"No" I shook my head.
"You're lying" he said.
"I swear I'm not" I told him truthfully.
"Swear to me then, swear to me on something that matters" he said.
"This" I said pointing to my engagement ring, and the Doctor smiled.
"My life in your hands then, Darcy Lightwood" the Doctor said.
"Thank you" River whispered to me and I gave her a reassuring smile.
"So Canton Everett Delaware III?" the Doctor asked while River typed his name into a computer.
"Ex FBI agent, got kicked out for having a problem with authority. 6 weeks after he got kicked off the U.S. President call him's back for something 'important" River read off the information she had found.
"Who's President around this time?" the Doctor asked.
"Richard Millhouse Nixon" I told him feeling smart for remembering something from my history classes.
"He was involved in the Watergate, the Vietnam War, and some good stuff also" River added.
"Not enough" the Doctor coughed out.
"Hippie" River told him.
"Archaeologist" the Doctor retorted. I felt the Tardis land.
"Ok since I don't know what I'm getting into for once I am going to try and be sneaky, so I'm putting the engines on silent" the Doctor said flicking a switch and a loud noise, like an electric guitar, ran out through the Tardis. I immediately flicked another switch which made it all stop.
"Did you do that" the Doctor asked? I pointed at myself and shrugged.
"Ok well I'm also going to make the Tardis invisible. I haven't done this in awhile because it really drains the power" the Doctor said pressing a button and everything was all bright. River hit another button and it was dark.
"I saw that" the Doctor accused her.
"I'm just admiring your work sweety" she said smiling at Amy, Rory, and I.
"Good you might learn something, so I can't turn on the scanner while it's invisible. So you'll just have to give me a moment and we'll come out in a jiffy" the Doctor said running to the front door, we all followed him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa you lot can not at all come along. We are in the middle of the most powerful city of the most powerful country on earth let's take it slow" he said stopping us. While he slid it out I followed him silently just to make sure he didn't get himself killed. Thankfully he didn't notice me following swiftly behind him and we found ourselves in the oval office seeing a man in a dark suit ,who I assumed was Canton, and Nixon ,who apparently hadn't noticed us. I heard what sounded like a phone on speaker but it was actually a recording of a conversation.
"Hello, who is this? This is President Nixon" Nixon said on the recording.
"Mr. President?" I heard this little girl say.
"The child?" Canton asked.
"Yes this is the President" the recorded Nixon.
"I'm scared, I'm scared of the Spaceman" the little girl said.
"A little girl?" Canton guessed.
"No it's a boy" the real Nixon said.
"What's the Spaceman? Where are you phoning from? Where are you right now? Who are you?" recorded Nixon asked the little girl.
"Jefferson Adams Hamilton" she answered and hung up. The Doctor started to take out a writing pad and pencil and I silently hit him on the arm shaking my head. And he looked at me mouthing "Get back in the Tardis" and we started to have a silent argument not noticing that Nixon and Canton had noticed us.
"Continue we'll be done in a moment" the Doctor told them. But they just stared at us. I face palmed myself
"Listen if you boys need me I'll just be in here" I said quickly running into the Tardis hoping the Doctor would follow me but he had apparently ran into it forgetting the Tardis was invisible, and fell to the ground.
"River" I sort of shouted.
"Every time" she groaned rolling her eyes as she tried to set up the scanner. River turned it on even though the Doctor had said it would not work and we saw him being held down to the ground by Canton.
"RIVER, DARCY TURN HER BLUE" he screamed as more secret service men piled on top of him. River and I laughed at him as we both hit the button and the invisible shield went off. Immediately the secret service men on the Doctor backed off. Through the scanner I saw the Doctor in one swift movement run over to the President's desk without being noticed.
"Hello Mr. President" he said in this very comical American accent. All the secret service men pointed their guns at him.
"That child just told you everything. You just weren't listening. Never mind though my answer is yes I'll take the case" the Doctor continued smiling at them.
"He really has no idea you people work" River said looking at me and shaking her head.
"Hello American standing right here" I reminded her.
"Fellas seriously, the guns? I just walked into the most important room in the country with the highest security and parked a big blue box on the rug without your notice and you think you can just shoot me?" he taunted them.
"They're Americans" River shouted at him running out of the Tardis.
"Again I'm slightly offended by that" I said following behind her with Amy and Rory not that far behind me. A couple of the secret service men pointed their guns at us now.
"Well guess who else has a gun" I said grabbing the one River had on her belt.
"Yeah be scared because I don't know how to use this" I suddenly realized and accidentally hit the trigger blowing a hole in the wall. One of the secret service men quickly grabbed the gun out of my hand and a couple of them got closer to me with their guns ready.
"Well maybe that wasn't such a good idea" I said looking at River who gave me a Really look.
"No don't shoot definitely don't shoot them" the Doctor told them holding his hands up.
"Yes please don't shoot we're practically not in the mood to be shot at so don't shoot" Rory told them.
"Who the hell are you people?" the leader of the secret service asked.
"I'm sorry but you're going to have to stand back" Canton told Nixon.
"Who are they? What is that thing" Nixon asked pointing at the Tardis.
"It's a police box can't you read" I snapped which got me some dirty looks from the secret service men around me.
"Anyways I'm your new undercover agent from Scotland Yard. Code name the Doctor and these are my top operatives the legs (Amy), the nose(Rory), the loud mouth(me), and Mrs. Robinson (River)" the Doctor introduced.
"Oh I hate you" River glared at him.
"No you don't" he told her. '
"Who are you?" Nixon asked again.
"Now that's a boring question. The better question is who's phoning you? Now Canton 3, was right the person who's calling is a little girl which means there is only one place she can be phoning from" the Doctor explained.
"Where?" Canton asked.
"Do not engage with the intruder" the secret service leader snapped. I rolled my eyes at him I hated people who took their job to seriously.
"You heard, what I heard just give me five minutes to explain or on the other hand lay a finger on me or my friends and you never ever know" the Doctor tried persuade them.
"How'd you get in here I mean you didn't carry it?" I could tell Canton was curious now.
"You like her?" I asked pointing to the Tardis.
"Love it" he said.
"Mr. Delaware you should not compliment the intruder" the uptight s.s. leader told him.
"Five minutes" Canton asked the Doctor and the Doctor nodded. Which meant we were in.
"Mr. President that man is a clear and present danger" uptight s.s. leader warned.
"Mr. President that man walked in here with his blue box and 4 friends, and that's the man he passed. One of them is worth listening to. I say we give them five minutes and see if he delivers" Canton negotiated.
"Thanks Canton" the Doctor said appreciatively.
"If he dosen't I'll shoot him myself" Canton added. Comforting I thought.
"Alright" Nixon agreed.
"Five minutes" Canton reminded the Doctor.
"Alright I'm going to need a S.W.A.T team ready to mobilize whenever, street maps of all over Florida, twelve Jammy Dodgers, and a fez" the Doctor told them.
"Oh no, you are not getting a fez" I told him as the secret service men put their guns down.
"Get him his maps" Canton told someone. So we all sat down as the Doctor looked over the maps.
"Why Florida?" Canton asked.
"That's where NASA is and NASA is where the spacemen live also there's another lead I'm following" the Doctor told him.
"Do you think that the spaceman is the same one we saw in the lake?" Amy whispered.
"Maybe" I shrugged.
"Probably" River said overhearing us. I saw Amy get a look of intense fear on her face.
"I remember you" she mumbled.
"Remember what?" I asked her nervously.
"I don't know I just-" she cut herself off by clutching her stomach for a second.
"Are you ok?" I asked her because she looked like she was about to be sick.
"Yeah I'm just feeling a bit sick" she said.
"Excuse me is there a toilet I could use?" she asked the s.s. leader.
"I'm sorry while this procedure is going on everyone must stay in the room" he told her.
"Shut up and take her to the restroom" Canton ordered. The S.S. leader rolled his eyes and let Amy go, but made sure an agent went with her. Rory tried to follow her but he was held back.
"That's my wife" he said.
"It dosen't matter" the s.s. leader replied.
"I'l l go with her" I reassured Rory.
"I'm sorry mis-"
"Don't bother arguing with her you'll most likely lose" the Doctor cut him off and before the S.S. leader could say anything else I ran out of the room and found Amy. We walked to the restroom and the agent almost followed us in.
"Actually I can usually manage this alone" Amy told him.
"Unless you want to be puked on" I warned him considering Amy still looked a bit green. Then he just let us in. We walked into the bathroom and I saw this tall alien in a suit, it had bland skin a huge head and no mouth. Amy and I both let out a little scream.
"I saw this at the lake and a couple minutes ago" she told me.
"But I didn't remember you? Why can't I remember you?" she asked it.
"What are you?" I asked it. This lady walked out of a stall.
"Get back" Amy warned her. The woman froze and turned around and saw the alien.
"Oh my god what is that? Is that a mask? Is this like some Star Trek thing? Ben is that you?" she asked as if this was a joke.
"Get back from that thing" Amy told her. The woman looked at us and got a blank look on her face.
"Get back from what honey?" she asked. Then she turned around and said practically the same thing again and started to go towards it.
"Seriously you need to get back" I warned her. She turned around again and had a blank look on her face.
"Back honey? Back from what?" she asked. The lights started to flicker and the alien raised its arms and electrified her.
"You didn't have to kill her" I scolded it and it smiled at me in a creepy way.
"So we remember you while we are seeing you then, is that it?" Amy asked taking out her phone and taking a picture of it.
"Why'd you have to kill her?" Amy asked.
"Joy" it said.
"You're sick" I told it.
"No her name was Joy, your name is Darcy and your name is Amelia. You will tell the Doctor what he mustn't know" it said getting closer to us.
"How do you know?" Amy asked.
"Tell him" it threatened Amy and I ran out of the bathroom and just then I felt my brain clear and everything seemed calm.
"You ok?" the agent who had been waiting outside asked.
"I'm fine I feel much better now thanks" she said. I looked at what Amy had in her hand and saw her phone.
"Amy put it away" I told her but it was too late because the agent noticed.
"What is that?" he asked.
"It's my phone" Amy told him, but then she remembered they didn't have them in this time.
"I feel like I have to tell the Doctor something" she said rubbing her forehead.
"Tell him what?" I asked.
"I don't know sorry forget I said that" she apologized as we walked back to the oval office. When we walked in the phone was ringing.
"Hello, this is President Nixon" he said answering the phone.
"It's here the spaceman is here, it's going to get me" the little girl said on the other line.
"I guess there is no time for a swat time. Tell her we will be on our way. Canton do not follow me into this police box but close the door behind you" the Doctor said running into the Tardis with Amy, Rory, and River behind him. I held the door open for Canton.
"That means get on fast" I told him and Canton ran in.
"Mr. President please help me" the little girl pleaded.
"It's alright Jefferson I'm sending my best people" I heard Nixon say before we took off.
