Disclaimer: I don't like getting up early in the morning.

A/N: Again I want to thank everyone for their reviews and to those who have requested episodes, I'm working on them! Now, on with the next instalment.

"Doctor, we're too exposed here. We have to move on." Father Octavian called.

"We're too exposed everywhere. And Amy can't move. And anyway that's not the plan." The Doctor told him.

River looked at him. "There's a plan?" She asked, making Kari giggle a little.

"I don't know yet. I haven't finished talking. Right! Father, you and your Clerics, you're going to stay here, look after Amy. If anything happens to her, I'll hold every single one of you personally responsible, twice. Kari, River, we're going to find the primary flight deck. Which is…" Kari watched the Doctor as he licked his finger, stuck it in the air and then pointed it. "A quarter of a mile straight ahead, and from there we're going to stabilise the wreckage, stop the Angels and cure Amy."

"How?" River asked.

"He'll do a thing." Kari told her, deciding what she was going to do.

"What thing?"

"I don't know. It's a thing in progress. Respect the thing. Moving out!" The Doctor took Kari's hand but she quickly pulled it away.

"Yeah, I think it's better if I stay here with Amy." She told him.

The Doctor frowned at her. "What do you mean? Why?"

"Trust me. I have to stay here. Someone needs to protect Amy. I'm all knowing, remember." She said flashing him a cheeky grin.

He groaned a little but smiled back. "Okay, fine. But be careful and looked after yourself and Amy." He told her before hugging her tightly.

"Doctor, I'm coming with you. My clerics'll look after Miss Pond. These are my best men. They'd lay down their lives in her protection." Father Octavian said.

"I don't need you." The Doctor retorted. Kari elbowed him lightly in the side, he was being rather rude.

"I don't care. Where Doctor Song goes, I go." He told the pair in front of him.

"What? You two engaged or something?" The Doctor asked, making Kari giggle a little again.

"Yes, in a manner of speaking. Marco, you're in charge till I get back."

"Doctor? Kari? Please, can't I come with you?" Amy asked from where she was sitting.

"You'd slow us down, Miss Pond." Father Octavian told her.

Kari and the Doctor went and sat down with Amy. "I don't want to sound selfish, but you'd really speed me up." Amy said, not knowing they were right next to her.

"You'll be safer here. We can't protect you on the move. And Kari insists on staying here with you. I'll be back for you both as soon as I can, I promise." The Doctor said softly.

"You always say that."

"I always come back. Good luck, everyone. Behave. Do not let that girl open her eyes. And keep watching the forest. Stop those Angels advancing. Kari, Amy, later. River, going to need your computer." The Doctor kissed Kari on the forehead as he got up and left.

"He will be back, Amy. I know he will." Kari told her. "I'm going to keep a watch with the clerics, I won't be far. Shout if you need me." She walked away from Amy as she saw the Doctor come out of hiding. She knew he wanted to talk to her, and she knew exactly what he was going to say to her as well.

She leaned up against one of the trees, her back to where Amy and the Doctor were. Not long later she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned and smiled up at the Doctor. "Don't you just hate repeats?" She said, not really knowing what else to say.

He looked at her sadly. "Yeah."

"You know, I'll never forget you." She told him, keeping her eyes locked on his.

"I know. My brilliant Kari. At least I get this chance to say goodbye to you properly."

Kari frowned at him. "Doctor, don't you dare say that. This isn't goodbye."

"We would of have so many wonderful, scary adventures together."

"And plenty of running to do as well. You can't forget the running." Kari told him, smiling at him. She wanted to tell him that this wasn't the end and that everything would work out fine, but she knew she couldn't.

He laughed a little. "Wouldn't be an adventure without the running would it?" He smiled, but only for a second. Kari couldn't help but notice how sad he was, and the fact that it looked like he wanted to cry.

"Doctor, this isn't the end. You understand that don't you?" She asked him, trying not to say too much.

"Kari, time can be rewritten. Time is being rewritten."

"And sofa's can read." She pointed out, remembering that he would have mentioned that in his past, her future.

"Yes, they can. It's a big universe."

"Exactly. Nothing is impossible. Just a bit unlikely, yeah?" Kari knew she was just saying anything to get him to give her a real smile, but something was telling her that that was not going to happen.

"A bit like you, really." Kari kept on smiling at him as he took hold of both of her hands. "My Kari, the one person in the universe who fully knows and understands me. Always there for me, never letting me down. I'm so sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for." Kari told him, tugging at his hands to pull him a little closer to her.

"There's something I never told you, and maybe I should have. I should have told you such a long time ago." The Doctor looked away from her. It looked as if he was drifting into his own little world.

"Doctor?" Kari said, trying to get his attention. "Doctor?" Kari let out a sigh. "Theta?" She finally whispered.

He instantly turned and looked at her. "Been a long time since you called me that."

"There's a little Scottish girl in an English village, sitting out in her garden, waiting for her raggedy man to return to her. Maybe you should go pay her a visit, tell her a few stories. That one about the box, the old, new, borrowed, blue box."

"Little Amelia Pond. The girl who waited." The Doctor dropped Kari's hands and put his hands on her hips, pulling her against him. "But there's one last thing I have to do before I go." He slowly moved one of his hands from Kari's hips and placed it on the side of her face.

Kari leaned into his touch, and moved her own hands so that they were resting on his chest. She could feel her eyes filling with tears, but she was not going to let them fall, just like he was holding his tears back as well.

He leaned down and his lips touched Kari's. She knew her chest was pounding and where her hands where, she could feel both his hearts beating rapidly as well. Kari didn't care, and her hands reached up and ended up entangled in his hair. He was kissing her passionately, and she was kissing him back just as much. She was breaking every rule she had set herself since her life changed, but right now, she didn't care.

He eventually pulled away, leaving Kari very breathless. "That was the opposite of nothing." He told her before resting his head against hers. They both closed their eyes, both fighting back the tears.

"Please don't leave me." Kari whispered in her mind. Right now she would do anything to be able to go with him, but she knew she couldn't.

"I never want to leave you, I'm sorry, Kari. I have to go now." Her eyes flew open, but she didn't move. She saw the Doctor gazing at her. He had read her mind, and spoken back to her. "Kari, I…"

"You have to go." She whispered.

"Kari? Kari where are you?" Amy called.

Kari let out a sigh and looked at the Doctor as he pulled away from her, giving her room to move. "I'm here, Amy. Give me a minute." She called. When she turned back to face the Doctor, he was gone. She closed her eyes and let the tears stream down her face, Amy wasn't going to see them.

"Kari? What's happening out there? They won't tell me anything." Amy called. Kari knew that she needed to go and join Amy now.

She took a deep breath and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "It's the tree's Amy, they're going out." She said as she sat down next to Amy.

"Are you okay, ma'am? You look as if you have been crying." The cleric Marco asked her.

"I'm fine. Had a bit of dust or something in my eyes, and I was silly enough to keep rubbing my eyes." She told him, hoping that her cover was convincing.

"Angels advancing, Sir."

"Weapons primed. Combat distance 5 feet. Wait for it." Marco called to the others.

"What is it? What's happening? Just tell me!" Amy ordered. She was frustrated because she couldn't see, and I didn't blame her.

"Keep your positions and ma'am, keep your eyes shut. Wait… the ships not on fire, is it?" Kari followed Marco's gaze and saw the bright light filtering through the forest. She knew exactly what it was.

"It can't be. The compressors would have taken care of it. Marco, the Angels have gone. Where'd they go?" The cleric called Pedro asked.

Kari took a deep breath. "Amy, the Angels have gone. They're running away from us, and… towards something else."

"Phillip, Crispin, need to get a closer look at that." Marco called over his communicator.

"What are you all looking at? What's there?" Amy asked.

"It's like, I don't know. A curtain of energy, sort of shifting. Makes you feel weird. Sick." Marco told her. Kari took hold of Amy's hand, ready for what was to come next.

"And you think it scared the Angels?" Amy asked. Kari wanted to just tell her exactly what it was. And to make sure that none of the other clerics went any where near it.

"What could scare those thing?" Pedro asked.

Amy stood up, taking Kari with her. "What are you doing?" Marco asked.

"Point me at the light." Amy ordered.

Marco protested but both Kari and Amy argued against him. Kari positioned Amy so that she was facing the right way. "Amy, you have to be very quick. Do you understand me?" Amy nodded at her. "Okay, when you're ready."

Amy's eyes opened and instantly widened in horror. "It's the same shape. Its' the crack in my wall. It's following me. How can it be following me?" Amy said before falling to her knees. Kari quickly put her hand over Amy's eyes, forcing her to close them.

"Amy, you okay?" Kari asked in concern.

"Yeah. It was the same shape."

"I know it was, Amy. We will work this out, yeah?"

"Marco, you want me to get a closer look at that?" Pedro asked.

Marco nodded at him. "Go for it. Don't get too close."

"Hang on. What about the other two? Why not just wait until they're back?" Amy asked. Kari decided it was better for her to just stay quiet now. She let Amy and Marco go through their conversation of who Crispin and Phillip were. And then he forgot about Pedro as well.

"Something's happening. Pedro was here a second ago and now you can't even remember him." Amy told him, her frustration growing.

"There never was a Pedro. There's only ever been the three of us here." Marco insisted. "Listen, I need to get a closer look at that light, whatever it is. Don't worry, I won't get too close."

Kari wasn't going to let him go, she wasn't going to let this happen to someone else. "Don't you dare go anywhere near that crack. If you do, then you will not be coming back and no one will ever remember you. Do not do it." Amy heard the seriousness in Kari's voice.

"Listen to her, you can't go anywhere near that thing." Amy understood that Kari knew what would happen to him if he left them.

"Here, spare communicator. I'll stay in touch the whole time." Marco pulled out a communicator and gave it to Amy. Kari just sat there, staring into the distance. Her mind was actually wandering, thinking about the Doctor who came to visit, the one who seemed so much sadder than he should have been.

"You won't, because if you go back there what happened to the others will happen to you." Amy warned him.

Marco let out a sigh. "There weren't any others."

Amy kept on warning him, begging him not to go, but it seemed that Marco's mind was made up and he was going to go. "There won't be any you if you go back there."

"Two minutes. I promise."

"I am telling you not to go, Marco. I have sat by and seen too many people die already today. You are not going." Kari said firmly, standing in front of the man. He seemed to be a little taken back by her attitude but he kept his composure.

He pushed past Kari and started heading through the forest and towards the light. She sat back down and put her head in her hands, she had tried to stop him, she had tried to save someone, but it had been useless.

After a few minutes Amy started to get a little worried. "Hello? Are you there? Hello? Hello?"

"I'm here. I'm fine. Quite close to it now."

"Then come back. Come back now, please." Amy begged him. Kari knew that the man wasn't going to listen, she knew he was going to be taken.

"It's weird looking at it. It feels really…" The only noise coming from the communicator was static.

"Really what? Hello? Really what? Hello? Hello? Please say you're there. Hello?" Amy called.

Kari knew not to panic, she knew they would get out of there alive. Or at least, she knew Amy would.

"Amy? Amy? Is that you?" The Doctor called through the communicator.

"Doctor?" Amy asked, not sure if it was really him or if she was imagining it.

"Where are you? Are the clerics with you? And what about Kari?"

"They've gone. The clerics have gone. There was this light and they walked into the light. Doctor, they didn't even remember each other." Amy told him, not mentioning that Kari was there and safe.

"No, they wouldn't. Where's Kari?"

Kari gently tugged the device out of Amy's hand, not that she tried to keep hold of it. "I'm right here. Ready and waiting for our trek through the forest and to the primary flight deck."

"Kari, you're okay." She heard the Doctor let out a sigh of relief. "Right, turn on the spot. When the communicator sounds like my screwdriver, that means you're facing the right way. Follow the sound."

Kari took hold of Amy's arm and pulled her up. Once they were both standing Kari and Amy gripped each other's hand tightly.

"You have to start moving now. There's Time Energy spilling out of that crack, and you have to stay ahead of it."

"Yeah, I know." Kari said to the Doctor before starting to walk with Amy.

"But the Angels, they're everywhere." Amy protested.

"Yup, and I can see them. So you're lucky you've got me. I mean, the Angels can only kill us, that's better than being erased from time really isn't it?" Kari told her, trying to keep her focused on walking.

"What does the Time Energy do?" Amy asked. Kari hesitated. "Tell me."

"Amy, if the Time Energy catches up with you, you'll never have been born. It will erase every moment of your existence. You will never have lived at all." Kari felt Amy's grip on her hand tighten. "But that's not going to happen because we are getting the hell out of here, right?"

"Yeah, right." Amy didn't sound as enthusiastic as Kari.

Kari stopped, making Amy stop with her. "Okay, Amy. We're going to need to go one behind the other here. We're surrounded by Angels. I want you to go first, I will be right behind you, guiding you through them. Okay?"

Amy nodded at her. Kari pushed her forward slowly, making sure to keep her eyes trained on all the statues at the same time. She didn't blink, she only winked. "Okay Amy, doing really well." Kari said. She was so focused on guiding Amy through that she forgot what happened.

Amy let out a little cry as she fell to the floor. Kari went down with her, and landed half on her in a heap. Kari quickly scrambled around to look at the Angels, a hand was just inches away from her leg. "Oh, this is so not good. This is very, very far from being good." Kari mumbled. "You okay Amy?"

Amy didn't answer her. "Amy?" Kari called again. She felt around where Amy had just been but all she could feel was the ground. She slowly pulled her leg away from the Angel that was reaching out for her and managed to pull herself off the dirty ground.

"Has River got that teleport working yet?" Kari called down the communicator.

"Yes. We have Amy. Just hold on a minute and we will get you."

"Yeah, sorry, Doctor. Think a minute is going to be a little bit late. I'm surrounded, and I can hear them coming up behind me." Kari rummaged through the pocket of her dirt and dust covered shorts and pulled out a pocket mirror. She opened it and used it to look behind her. "Yup, all around me." She confirmed.

"Kari, just stay calm. I promise I will get you out of there." There was panic in the Doctor's voice, Kari noticed.

"Hey, I am calm. Sounds like you're the one who needs to stay calm." Kari told him. Inside she was completely terrified, but she didn't want the Doctor to know that.

"Kari, how close are they? Is there any way you can get past them?"

"Several a few feet in front of me, a couple behind. They've made a circle around me, there's nowhere to run." Kari told him, Holding the mirror up so that she could look at that whilst still keeping the Angels in front of her locked.

"How are you stopping them? Why haven't the ones behind gotten you yet?" The Doctor asked her curiously.

"Clever little trick really. Very simple. Been using it for years, ever since I first found out about the Weeping Angels. I'm holding a mirror." She told him, feeling just a little proud of herself.

"Oh, that is brilliant. They can't sneak up behind you because you can see them in the mirror. Oh Kari, you really are brilliant."

"Yeah, being brilliant is great and all that, but I'm still stuck." Kari was suddenly blinded by a bright flash of light. She blinked several times, trying to get rid of the spot that were in front of her eyes. Eventually, her eyes swam into focus and she saw the Doctor standing in front of her, grinning away.

"Welcome to the primary flight deck." The Doctor said before hugging Kari tightly.

Once he let her go, Kari turned to River. "You cut it a bit fine there Doctor Song, but I could still bloody kiss you."

River laughed and hugged Kari. "I don't think he'd appreciate that." She whispered to her, nodding towards the Doctor.

Kari grinned. "Offers always there." Kari said, giving her a wink. She went and stood with the Doctor, and he was still smiling away. "You ready for this, Doctor?"

He looked at her and nodded. Then an alarm started blaring.

"What's that?" River asked, looking around.

"The Angels are draining the last of the ship's power, which means the shield's going to release." Kari said, just before the wall in front of them started sliding upwards.

"Angel Bob, I presume." The Doctor said to the Angel who was holding a communicator.

"The time field is coming. It will destroy our reality."

"Yeah, and look at you all, running away. What can I do for you?" The Doctor asked, wrapping an arm around Kari's waist as she stood next to him. She rested her head against him, not realising what she was doing or noticing the grin she was getting from River.

"There is a rupture in time. The Angels calculate that if you throw yourself into it, it will close, and they will be saved."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could do, could do that. But why?" The Doctor asked him.

"Your friends will also be saved."

"Well, there is that." He replied after a slight pause to think.

River quickly walked over to the pair. "I've travelled in time. I'm a complicated space-time event too. Throw me in."

"Oh, be serious. Compared to me, these Angels are more complicated than you, and it would take every one of them to amount to me, so get a grip." The Doctor told her, moving his arm from around Kari's waist. Kari decided that she was going to grip onto the Doctor's arm, now that he had moved it. He rolled his eyes at her. "Not a grip on me."

Kari pouted at him, giving him the saddest look she could manage. It only made the Doctor laugh at her.

"Doctor, I can't let you do this." River said in protest.

"No, seriously, get a grip." He told her, unhooking Kari's hands from his arm and placing them on a railing. She was still pouting and giving him a sad look.

"You're not going to die here!" River shouted, still not understanding what the Doctor was saying.

Kari sighed. "Seriously, River, Amy, get a grip." Kari told them, nodding down at her own hands gripping onto the railing.

River finally caught on. "Oh, you genius." She said before getting Amy to hold on tight to something and then grabbing on herself.

"Sir, the Angels need you to sacrifice yourself now."

"Thing is, Bob, the Angels are draining all the power from this ship. Every last bit of it. And you know what? I think they've forgotten where they're standing. I think they've forgotten the gravity of the situation. Or, to put it another way, Angels. Night, night."

The Doctor span around and grabbed onto the railing next to Kari, both of them grinning away madly. They were all hanging on for their lives, while the power failed and the Angels were sucked into the crack.

It took them some time to climb out of the ship. It wasn't easy, and it was far form fun, but the Doctor and Kari seemed to be laughing through most of it.

"Ah, bruised everywhere." Amy whined. She was sitting on a rock, out on the beach where they had arrived with a blanket around her.

"So are we." Kari told her, the Doctor inspecting her for any serious damage.

"You didn't have to climb out with your eyes shut." Amy retorted.

The Doctor rolled his eyes at her. "Neither did you. I kept saying. The Angels all fell into the Time Field. The Angel in your memory never existed. It can't harm you now."

"Then why do I remember it at all? Those guys on the ship didn't remember each other." Amy asked curiously.

"You're a time traveller now, Amy. It changes the way you see the universe, forever." Kari told her as the Doctor finally decided that she was fine.

"Good, isn't it?" the Doctor added with a grin.

"And the crack, is that gone too?" Amy asked. Kari and the Doctor looked at each other. Kari knew more about the crack than the Doctor did, but she knew she couldn't tell him anything about it.

"Yeah, for now. But the explosion that caused it is still happening. Somewhere out there, somewhere in time." The Doctor said before looking at the sky and seemingly drifting off into his own little world.

Kari tugged as his arm and forced him to go over to River.

"You, me, handcuffs. Must it always end this way?" River asked, looking first at Kari then at the Doctor. Kari just gave River a wink, which River had to refrain from laughing at.

"What now?" The Doctor asked her, not noticing the silent communication between the two women.

"The prison ship's in orbit. They'll beam me up any second. I might have done enough to earn a pardon this time. We'll see." River told him.

"Octavian said you killed a man, and a woman." Kari flinched. What did he mean 'and a woman'? That wasn't right, that wasn't what happened.

"Yes, I did." River told him, noticing the change in Kari.

"A good man, and a great woman." The Doctor said, repeating the words he had heard from Father Octavian.

"A very good man. The best man I've ever known. And such a great woman, a woman no one could compare to." River gave Kari a concerned look. Kari just stared back with wide eyes.

"Who?" The Doctor asked.

"It's a long story, Doctor. It can't be told, it has to be lived. No sneak previews. Well, except for this one. You'll see me again quite soon, when the Pandorica opens."

"The Pandorica. Ha! That's a fairy tale." The Doctor told her, not believing what River was telling him. It was clear that he still didn't trust the woman, and Kari really could understand why.

"Doctor, aren't we all? I'll see you there."

Kari turned and noticed Amy was now standing beside her, still wrapped up in the blanket. "Bye, River." Amy said softly.

"See you, Amy." River said before looking at Kari. "Behave, Kari. Don't make me come and track you down. Keep in touch." Kari nodded at her, forcing a smile on her face just as River's handcuffs started beeping. "Oh, I think that's my ride."

"Can I trust you, River Song?" The Doctor asked.

"If you like. But where's the fun in that?" River told him before disappearing in a cyclone of sand and dust.

"Right, I'm bloody starving and completely exhausted." Kari announced. "And I do believe Amy has something she wants to show you, Doctor. So, let's get going shall we." She started off towards the TARDIS.

She was ahead of the Doctor and Amy, and since this Doctor didn't like handing out keys to his beloved ship, she had to wait. Only she didn't, she placed her hand on the door and it clicked open, just as it had done before.

Kari stepped inside, and was suddenly taken over by pain. "No, please. Not now. Please." She cried, feeling her head start to throb. She dropped to her knees by the console.

She didn't even notice the Doctor and Amy come into the TARDIS. "Kari, you got a headache?" The Doctor asked her, crouching down on the floor beside her. She nodded at him as best she could. "Oh, Kari. I'm sorry."

Kari looked up at him, her face already wet from the silent tears. "Why can't I just stay for a few more hours?" Her voice was so quiet that the Doctor could hardly hear her.

"I know, I'm sorry." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. "I'll see you soon, I promise." He said backing away as her skin started to glow.

Kari pulled her head up and looked the Doctor in the eyes ones last time before being completely taken over by the golden light.

A/N: Okay, so what did you think? Anyone confused?

I'm going to live this note very short. So, review Let me know what you thought, or if there is an episode you really want me to do.

Pippa.
