There was silence in the box, until it slowly began to open, letting the fresh air blow inside. The restraints that were holding Kari and the Doctor in place released.
"How did you do that?" The Doctor asked, seeing the Roman Rory standing there.
"You gave me this." He replied, holding the Doctor's sonic screwdriver up in his hand to show him it.
"No I didn't." The Doctor told him, pulling his one out from inside his jacket.
"You did. Look at it."
The Doctor got out from the box and slowly walked up to Rory. He touched the two screwdrivers together and they sparked. "Temporal energy. Same screwdriver at different points in its own time stream. Which means it was me who gave it to you. Me from the future. I've got a future." He said happily. "That's nice." Then he noticed the fossilised Dalek standing in the room. "That's not so nice."
"Doctor, where's Kari?" Rory asked. There was concern in his voice.
The Doctor spun around and looked back at the Pandorica. He thought she would have come out straight after him, but it seemed he was wrong. "Kari?" He called, stepping back into the box and going around to where she was sitting. "Hey, come on. It's time to go." He told her softly.
Kari lifted her head and looked up at the Doctor. Her face was wet from where she had been crying. "I'm sorry, Doctor. I'm really sorry. I knew what was going to happen, I knew the box was for you. I didn't know they were going to stick me in here as well. I didn't even know they all knew who I was. I'm so sorry." She said, all in one breath as she let more tears fall.
"Oh, Kari. It's okay. You couldn't have done anything to stop them." He assured her, gently tugging her up and out of the chair.
"I'm sorry. I should have said something." She whispered to him as more tears fell. Kari had never thought she would feel this way about what had happened. It was never easy knowing what was going to happen, but it was getting even worse for her when she knew things were going differently.
"Hey, come on. You have nothing to be sorry for." The Doctor wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. He had never seen her so upset before, and he could feel his hearts clenching at the sight of her.
"But I could have at least tried. I didn't even try to convince the alliance that they were wrong. I didn't do anything. I was stupid and useless."
"Kari, don't you ever say that. You are brilliant, you always have been. And you certainly are not useless. If it wasn't for you and your brains, I'd have died a long time ago." He told her, trying to clam her down.
"I'm sorry."
"Kari, stop saying that. Everything's okay. Now come on, it's time to save the universe." He told her, kissing the top of her head before letting her go.
"Doctor, what are they?" Rory asked, pointing to all the fossilised Romans in the room with them, as well as the Dalek.
"History has collapsed. Whole races have been deleted from existence. These are just like after images. Echoes. Fossils in time. The footprints of the never-were." The Doctor told him, taking a tight hold of Kari's hand as she tried to control herself and calm down.
"Er, what does that mean?"
"Total event collapse." Kari told him quietly. "The universe literally never happened."
He looked at her, the Doctor knew she was upset and blaming herself, but at least she had spoken.
"So, how can we be here?" Rory asked the pair. "What's keeping us safe?"
"Nothing. Eye of the storm, that's all. We're just the last light to go out." The Doctor told him. He felt someone tug on his hand and looked at Kari.
"We need to see Amy." She whispered to him. The Doctor had only just realised that she wasn't with Rory. He could see the sad look on Kari's face, and he knew something bad had happened, or was going to happen.
They made their way back outside where Amy was lying on the wet and muddy ground, all but dead. "I killed her." Rory cried, as they looked at the red haired woman's still body.
"Oh, Rory…" Kari put her arms around him and gave him a friendly hug. She knew he was hurting, and thinking that he had killed her.
He smiled at her slightly as she soon pulled away. "Doctor, what am I?"
"You're a Nestene duplicate. A lump of plastic with delusions of humanity." The Doctor told him, paying more attention to Amy.
"But I'm Rory now. Whatever was happening, it's stopped. I'm Rory."
"That's the software talking." The Doctor said, checking some results on his screwdriver.
"Can you help her? Is there anything you can do?" Rory asked him calmly. He just wanted Amy to be okay again, and so did Kari.
"Yeah, probably, if I had the time." His tone didn't sit too well with Rory, and Kari was prepared for what was going to happen next.
"The time?" The Roman Rory shouted.
"All of creation has just been wiped from the sky. Do you know how many lives now never happened? All the people who never lived? Your girlfriend isn't more important than the whole universe." The Doctor told him, a smug look on his face.
That was when Rory swung at him, and punched him around the face. "She is to me!" He shouted. Kari had cheered in the background, and was now trying to not go off into a giggling fit again.
The Doctor quickly got himself up off the floor. He let out a little laugh himself before turning to face the man who had hit him. "Welcome back, Rory Williams. Sorry, had to be sure. Hell of a gun arm you're packing there. Right, we need to get her downstairs. And take that look off your plastic face. You're getting married in the morning."
Rory carried Amy back down and gently placed her into the Pandorica. "So you've got a plan, then?" He asked, watching as the Doctor strapped Amy in and held onto her head.
"Bit if a plan, yeah. Memories are more powerful than you think, and Amy Pond is not an ordinary girl. Grew up with a time crack in her wall. The universe pouring through her dreams every night. The Nestenes took a memory print of her and got a bit more than they bargained for, like you. Not just your face, but your heart and soul." The Doctor explained. "I'm leaving her a message for when she wakes up, so she knows what's happening."
The Doctor finished what he was doing to Amy and back out of the box. He held is sonic screwdriver out in front of him and turned it on, making the box slowly close with Amy safely inside it.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?" Rory asked in a panic.
"He's saving her." Kari told him quietly. "This box is the ultimate prison. You can't even escape it by dying. It forces you to stay alive."
"But she's already dead." Rory protested.
"Well, she's mostly dead. The Pandorica can stasis-lock her that way. All it needs is a scan of her living DNA and it will restore her." She was finally starting to pull herself back together. She knew Amy was going to live, she knew how everything was going to plan out. Well, almost everything. There was one thing that was really bothering her, but she didn't want to think about it.
"Where's it going to get that?"
"In about two thousand years." The Doctor told him, taking hold of Kari's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze before picking up River's vortex manipulator.
"She's going to be in that box for two thousand years?" Rory asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, but we're taking a shortcut. River's vortex manipulator." The Doctor told him, putting it on his wrist and doing up the strap with some help from Kari.
"Not River's. You do know it's stolen, right?" She pointed out. "Not Jack's either, I did check."
He just frowned at her before carrying on talking, ignoring her comment. "Rubbish way to time travel, but the universe is tiny now. We'll be fine."
"So, hang on. The future's still there then? Our world?" Rory asked the pair.
"A version of it." Kari told him. "Not exactly like the one that you know."
"Earth alone in the sky. Let's go and have a look." The Doctor told him, a little gleam in his eye. "You put your hand there. Don't worry. Should be safe."
"Mostly." Kari mumbled as held tightly onto the Doctor's hand. "A very wrong National Museum, here we come."
"That's not what I'm worried about." Kari knew what he was worried about, his fiancée, trapped in a box for two thousand years.
"She'll be fine. Nothing can get into this box." The Doctor assured him.
"Well, you got in there." He pointed out.
Kari wanted to agree with him. "Well, there's only one of me. I counted." The Doctor retorted.
"At this point in time, yes." Kari reminded him. He just frowned at her, he knew that she was still upset and trying to pull herself together, that's why she kept saying these little things.
"This box needs a guard. I killed the last one." Rory said, looking at the Pandorica.
"No. Rory, no. Don't even think about it." The Doctor argued.
"She'll be all alone."
"She won't feel it."
"You bet she won't." Rory was angry, and that didn't happen very often.
There was a sad look on the Time Lord's face now. "Two thousand years, Rory. You won't even sleep, you'd be conscious every second. It would drive you mad." He told him calmly.
"Will she be safer if I stay? Look me in the eye and tell me she wouldn't be safer."
The Doctor let out a sigh. "Rory, you…"
"Answer me!" The Roman shouted.
"Yes, she would. We all know she would, Rory." Kari told him softly. She couldn't help but think how lucky Amy was to have Rory. He loved her so much, he was willing to guard the box that held her for two thousand years. He was devoted to her, he would do anything for her. But Kari knew she would never find someone like that. Not anymore, not with the life she led now.
He smiled at her a little. "Then how could I leave her?"
"Why do you have to be so human?" The Doctor asked in frustration.
"Because right now, I'm not."
"Listen to me. This is the last bit of advice you're going to get in a very long time. You're living plastic, but you're not immortal. I have no idea how long you'll last. And you're not indestructible." Kari knew it was almost time to leave and put her hand on the vortex manipulator, ready to go when the Doctor was finished talking. . "Stay away from heat and radio signals when they come along. You can't heal or repair yourself. Any damage is permanent. So for God's sake, however bored you get, stay out of…"
Everything around them changed. Kari had to admit, she liked this way of travelling much better than being pulled around and getting headaches.
"…trouble." The Doctor finished his sentence, a little bit later than planned. He looked up and saw Amy standing there with little Amelia. "Oh, ah, two of you. Complicated."
"Complicated isn't the word I would use. More like…" Kari was cut off when they heard a familiar screeching.
"EXTERMINATE. WEAPONS SYSTEMS RESTORING." There was a partially fossilised Dalek, heading straight towards them.
"Come along, Ponds." The Doctor cried, grabbing Amy's hand while Kari grabbed little Amelia.
"EXTERMINATE!"
"What are we doing?" Amy asked as they ran into a different section where the Doctor pulled a fez from one of the mannequins.
"Running into a dead end, where he'll have a brilliant plan, that basically involves us not being in one." Kari said, the slightest hint of a grin on her face.
"What's going on?" A mans voice called through the air.
"Get out of here. Go! Just run!" The Doctor shouted as they all hid around the corner and out of sight of the Dalek.
"DROP THE DEVICE." The Dalek ordered to the man holding the torch.
"It's not a weapon. Scan it. It's not a weapon, and you don't have the power to waste." The Doctor called to the Dalek, trying to save the man's life.
"SCANS INDICATE INTRUDER UNARMED."
The man dropped the torch and let it roll on the ground. "Do you think?" Kari and the man said at the same time. There was a bigger grin on her face now, she loved this bit, she loved what was going to happen next.
The man's hand opened up to reveal a gun, which he then shot at the Dalek.
"VISION IMPARED! VISION…!" The Dalek cried in a panic before suddenly stopping all together.
"Amy!" The man cried, stepping out of the shadows and into what little light was in the room.
"Rory!" The red head cried back, before running over to him.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. It just happened." Rory rambled.
"Oh, shut up." Amy said, before grabbing hold of him and kissing him.
"Yeah, shut up, because we've got to go. Come on." The Doctor said, dragging Kari around with him, and in turn little Amelia.
"I waited. Two thousand years I waited for you."
"No, still shut up." Amy said, grabbing him again and kissing him more passionately than before.
"And break. And breathe. Well, somebody didn't get out much for two thousand years." The Doctor commented, wondering when they would come up for air.
"Oh, come on, give them a break. Two thousand years is a long time, Doctor. We took the short cut, he didn't. Leave them alone." Kari said, defending the couple who were still locked together with their lips.
"Oh, don't you stick up for them." He moaned at her a little.
"Why not? They have every right to… be like that. They've been through a lot together. Rory was erased from time, and Amy didn't remember him. Then the moment she did, he almost killed her which resulted in her being locked in a box for two thousand years." Kari told him, a slightly distant look in her eyes as she spoke. "It just proves how much they mean to each other."
The Doctor looked at her with some concern. He knew that she was right, but there was something in the way she had said it all that made him worry. There was something bothering her, something serious. But the Doctor knew that she would never tell him, especially if it was to do with something that was going to happen.
"I'm thirsty. Can I get a drink?" Little Amelia asked, tugging at the Doctor's jacket sleeve.
"Oh, it's all mouths today, isn't it?" He replied, frowning at the little girl, putting the fez on her head, only for her to take it off and shoving it into his hands.
"Doctor, the light." Kari said, pointing to the stream out of the box. "The light from the Pandorica, it must have hit the Dalek."
He smiled at her, before he noticed the Dalek starting to move. "Out, out, out!" He shouted, grabbing Amelia's hand as well as Kari's and running towards the reception. "So, two thousand years. How did you do?" The Doctor asked Rory as he used his sonic to lock the door.
"Kept out of trouble." Rory told him.
"Oh, how?"
"Unsuccessfully." He told the Doctor, who was now holing a mop. "The mop! That's who you looked all those years ago when you gave me the sonic."
"Ah. Well, no time to lose then." The Doctor said, tapping away at the vortex manipulator still strapped to his wrist. "Kari, you coming?"
She shook her head at him. "Nah, I'm okay waiting here with the Dalek on the loose." There was a smile on her face.
The Doctor disappeared in a blinding flash of light, before reappearing again a second later. "Oops, sorry." He said, shoving the mop stick between the door handles before disappearing again.
"How can he do that? Is he magic?" Little Amelia asked.
"Oh, he's way better than magic." Kari told her, letting a grin take over her face again.
The Doctor appeared back in the reception area. "Right, let's go then. Wait! Now I don't have the sonic. I just gave it to Rory two thousand years ago."
As he disappeared Kari just rolled her eyes. She walked up to Amy, put her hand in her top pocket and pulled out the Doctor's sonic screwdriver. "And when you're done, leave my screwdriver in her top pocket." She mumbled to herself, knowing that was exactly what the Doctor was saying to Rory.
The Doctor was back, and Kari just held the sonic up in her hand for him to take. He smiled at her, kissing the top of her head as he gently took it. "Right then. Off we go! No, hang on." He stopped at he started heading up the stone stairs. "How did you know to come here?" He asked Amelia.
Amelia pulled out a leaflet for the museum and a post-it note and showed it to him. "Your handwriting, Doctor. Get to it." Kari said, passing him a new leaflet and nudging him towards the desk with the post-it notes on.
After writing the notes he vanished once again, only to come back and shove a drink into Amelia's hands. "There you go. Drink up."
"What is that? How are you doing that?" Amy asked, looking at him oddly as he started to run up the stairs.
"Vortex manipulator. Cheap and nasty time travel. Very bad for you. I'm trying to give it up." The Doctor told her.
"Sports car versus space hopper?" Kari asked him, grinning a little. The Doctor just rolled his eyes at her.
"Where are we going?" Amy asked, not understanding anything about what Kari had just said.
"The roof." The Doctor told her, before turning back to charge up the stairs. Only he stopped when a figure appeared at the top, and then fell down. The man's clothes were scorched and it was clear he was hurt.
"Doctor, it's you. How can it be you?" Rory asked, looking at the man lying on the stairs as the Doctor scanned him with his sonic screwdriver.
"Doctor, is that you?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, it's me. Me from the future." The Doctor told them, as Kari went and kneeled down beside him. Suddenly the future Doctor's eyes snapped open and he bolted up. He whispered something to the Doctor, before falling back down again.
Kari bent over the man lying there, perfectly still. "Behave. I'll see you in a little while." She whispered to him, before kissing the top of his head.
"You okay Kari?" The Doctor asked her softly, seeing she was a little… distracted. She just nodded back to him, even though she wasn't okay. There was nothing the Doctor was going to be able to do for her, and Kari didn't even know what was going to happen yet.
"Are you… I mean, is he… is he dead?" Amy asked him nervously.
"What? Dead?" The Doctor asked, finally taking his eyes off Kari. "Yes, yes. Of course he's dead. Right, I've got twelve minutes. That's good."
"Twelve minutes to live? How is that good?" Amy protested.
"Oh, you can do loads in twelve minutes." Kari told her. "Suck a mint, buy a sledge, have a fast bath."
The Doctor just smiled at her. "Exactly. Now come on, the roof." He took hold of Kari's hand and they started up the stairs.
"We can't leave you here dead." Rory called.
The Doctor turned around and faced him. "Oh, good. Are you in change now? So tell me, what are we going to do abut Amelia?" He asked, knowing that she was no longer there.
"Where did she go?" Amy asked looking around.
"Amelia?" Rory called, also looking for her.
"There is no Amelia. From now on, there never was. History is still collapsing." Kari told them.
Amy looked at her with wide eyes. "But how can I still be here if she's not?"
"You're an anomaly. We all are. We're just hanging on at the eye of the storm." Kari said, tightening her grip on the Doctor's hand.
"But the eye is closing, and if we don't do something fast, reality will never have happened. Today, just dying is a result. Now, come on!" The Doctor shouted, dragging Kari up the stairs with him. "You know what's going to happen?" He whispered to her when they were out of earshot of Amy and Rory.
"Yeah, I know what you're going to do." She told him, letting out a sigh.
"Kari, we will fix this." He told her, taking both her hands and looking deep into her eyes.
"I know." Her voice came out in a whisper, which just concerned the Doctor even more.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
Kari shook her head. "Nothing, it's fine. Doesn't matter."
He frowned at her. "How many times do I have to tell you, I know when you're lying? Tell me what's wrong."
"Come on, we don't have time to stand around chatting. We have bigger things to worry about." She told him, just as Amy and Rory caught up with them.
He wasn't happy that she was keeping things from him, but he knew she was right. They made their way through the museum, The Doctor got a hatch open and they all ended up on the roof. The sky was bright with an orange glow.
"What, it's morning already?" Amy asked, looking at the sky. "How did that happen?"
Kari let out a sigh. "History is shrinking. Isn't anyone listening? The universe is collapsing." She said, seemingly a little frustrated.
"We don't have much time left." The Doctor said, kissing Kari's forehead before running over to a satellite dish and using his sonic screwdriver on it. A few moments later he had pulled it from the pole it had been connected to.
"What are you doing?" Rory asked him.
"Looking for the TARDIS."
Rory just looked at him in confusion. "But the TARDIS exploded." He reminded him.
"Okay then, I'm looking for an exploding TARDIS." He said, pointing the dish around at different angles. Kari just stood there, staring at the sky, a pain in her chest as she watched the ball of fire.
"I don't understand. So, the TARDIS blew up and took the universe with it. But why would it do that? How?" Amy asked him.
"Good question for another day. The question for now is, total event collapse means that every star in the universe never happened. Not one single one of them ever shone. So if all the stars that ever were are gone, the what is that?" The Doctor asked, pointing to the big orange ball of fire, burning in the sky. "Like I said, I'm looking for an exploding TARDIS."
"But that's the sun." Rory protested.
"Is it?" Kari asked, turning to face him before pulling out her own sonic screwdriver. "Well, here's the noise that sun is making right now." She turned on her screwdriver and the sound of the TARDIS rang out from the dish. Kari almost let a tear slip down her cheek with the noise she heard. The TARDIS had become her home, her friend. And now she was exploding, being torn apart.
"That's our TARDIS burning up." The Doctor said sadly. "That's what's been keeping the Earth warm."
"Doctor, there's something else. There's a voice." Rory told them.
"I can't hear anything." Amy said, struggling to hear what he could.
"Trust the plastic." Rory said, pointing to his ears.
"I'm sorry, my loves. I'm sorry, my loves. I'm sorry, my loves." They could hear a woman's voice calling through the satellite dish now.
"Doctor, that's River. How can she be up there?" Amy asked in shock.
"It must be like a recording or something." Rory said, trying to make sense of it all.
"No, it's not." Kari told them, looking at the Doctor.
"Of course, the emergency protocols. The TARDIS has sealed off the control room and put her into a time loop to save her. She is right at the heart of the explosion." The Doctor explained as he finally realised what was going on.
"River is stuck in the TARDIS, in a time loop, constantly trying to get the doors open. And when she does, she finds a brick wall before her." Kari told them, not really thinking about it. "And she keeps doing it, over and over again. She doesn't realise she's in a time loop."
"Kari, it's going to be fine." The Doctor assured her, wrapping an arm around her.
"Course it is. Your TARDIS is brilliant, she's keeping River alive until someone can get her out." Kari smiled at the Doctor. "Off you go then. Go and save Doctor River Song. I'm sure she'll be glad to see you."
Before she knew what was going on, the Doctor had grabbed her hand and activated the vortex manipulator. "Hi, honey. We're home." He said, a big grin on his face as he held Kari against him. She wasn't exactly happy that he had taken her with him without warning her first.
River smiled at the pair before looking down at her wrist, as if checking her watch. "And what sort of time do you call this?" She asked.
"I call it end of the universe time." Kari grumbled, trying to wriggle out of the Doctor's hold.
"Oh, look who's being all grumpy now." The Doctor teased, as she tried to hit him.
"I am not grumpy, thank you very much." Kari told him, evidently sulking a little. "Now, can you let me go, I need to quickly grab something."
The Doctor looked at her in confusion before releasing her from his grip. As soon as she was free, she ran down the stairs and underneath the console. "Did you have to leave it in such a mess down here, River?" She called, almost tripping over some wires.
"Kari, what are you doing down there?" The Doctor shouted, just as she reappeared.
"Nothing, just getting something. Just in case." She told him, not willing to tell him exactly what it was she had fetched. "Now, are we ready to get back to saving the universe?" She asked them.
The Doctor just shook his head at her as the trio disappeared from the TARDIS and ended up back on the roof of the National Museum where Amy and Rory were waiting for them.
"Amy!" River cried in joy at seeing her again. "And the plastic Centurion?"
"Yup, but he's on out side. Love a Roman." Kari said, trying to get away from the Doctor again.
"Really?" There was a sly smile on River's face.
"Oh yeah, hot Italians, second on my list of hotness." Kari said, knowing it would make the Doctor blush.
"And what's first?" River asked her curiously. Before Kari had a chance to reply, the Doctor had put his hand over her mouth.
"Let's not go into this now, shall we?" The Doctor called to Kari in her mind. She just rolled her eyes, knowing that he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone.
River just grinned at the pair, while Amy and Rory looked confused. "I dated a Nestene duplicate once. Swappable head. It did keep things fresh." She told them all. Moving the conversation along. "Right then, I have questions, but number one is this." She turned to face the Doctor who had just moved his hand from Kari's mouth. "What in the name of sanity have you got on your head?"
"It's a fez." He told her. "I wear a fez now."
"Fezes are cool." Kari and the Doctor said at the same time, causing them to both laugh a little. Amy wasted no time in snatching it off the Doctor's head and tossing it over the side of the building while River pulled out her blaster and turned it into dust. "Oh…"
"Hey! I liked that fez!" Kari shouted. "Don't worry, Doctor, I'll buy you a new one later." She promised him.
"EXTERMINATE!" The Dalek cried, as it came rising into view.
"Run!" The Doctor shouted, grabbing Kari's had tightly. "Run. Move, move. Go!" He grabbed hold of the satellite dish with his free hand and used it as a shield against the Dalek's laser as it shot at him.
They eventually made it back down the hatch and into the museum where the Doctor used his sonic to lock it.
"Doctor, come on." River urged, waiting at the bottom of the ladder for him.
"Shush." He said, listening to the Dalek outside. "It's moving away, finding another way in. It needs to restore its power before it can attack again. Now that means we've got exactly…"
"Four and a half minutes before it's at lethal capacity." Kari said, taking the Doctor slightly by surprise.
"How do you know?" Rory asked, looking between Kari and the Doctor.
"Because that's when it's due to kill him." Kari told him, biting her lip and squeezing the Doctor's hand.
River looked at the Doctor with wide eyes. "Kill you? What do you mean, kill you?" She asked angrily.
"Oh, shut up. Never mind. How can that Dalek even exist? It was erased from time and then it came back. How?" The Doctor asked as they walked back through the museum.
"Kari said the light from the Pandorica." Rory pointed out, remember what she had said earlier.
"It's not a light, it's a restoration field." Kari corrected him.
"But never mind, call it a light." The Doctor said, smiling at Kari a little. "That light brought Amy back, restored her, but how could it bring back a Dalek when the Daleks have never existed?"
Amy just looked at him. "Okay, tell us."
"When the TARDIS blew up, it caused a total event collapse. A time explosion. And that explosion blasted every atom in every moment of the universe. Except…" He looked at Amy, waiting for her to catch on to what he was saying.
Her eyes lit up. "Except inside the Pandorica."
"The perfect prison. And inside it, perfectly preserved, a few billion atoms of the universe as it was. In theory, you could extrapolate the whole universe from a single one of them, like…"
"Like cloning a body from a single cell." Kari told them, knowing that the Doctor was going to say it. At that point she wondered how different that adventure was going to be when it came around. Was she going to be with the Doctor, Donna and Jenny, or will she be with Martha? She had no idea. She was more worried about if it would ever actually happen for her now.
"And we've got the bumper family pack."
Rory just shook his head. "No, no. Too fast. I'm not getting it."
Kari let out a sigh and turned to face the Roman. "The box contains a memory of the universe, and the light transmits the memory, and that's how we're going to do it." She told him.
"Do what?" Amy asked.
The Doctor just smiled at her. "Relight the fire. Reboot the universe. Come on!"
"Doctor, you're being completely ridiculous. The Pandorica partially restored one Dalek. If it can't even reboot a single life form properly, how's it reboot the whole of reality?" River asked him, clearly not believe that he could do it.
"What if we give it a moment of infinite power? What if we can transmit the light from the Pandorica to every particle of space and time simultaneously?" He asked her, knowing that he could do it.
"Well, that would be lovely, sweetie, but we can't because it's completely impossible." She retorted, getting a little more frustrated now.
"Ah no, you see, it's not. It's almost completely impossible. One spark is all we need." He told her.
"For what?"
"Big Bang Two!" Kari mumbled as the Doctor told River. Both of them had heard her, and turned to look at her. There was something wrong, they knew there was.
"Now listen…" The Doctor said, before turning around and being shot by the Dalek.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" The metal monster cried as it rolled forwards.
"Get back. River, get back now!" Rory cried, trying to get everyone out of the way before he shot at the Dalek, making it power down.
A/N: And now we are one step closer to finding out what this big secret is. And once Kari knows, well let's just say she had to take some time out.
Once again, thank you for all the reviews, they mean so much to me. I'm glad that people are reading this and liking it (even with my irregular updates at times). Thank you to everyone who has favourited/followed as well.
Keep the reviews coming, and let me know what episode you want to see coming up soon. I did have a list before, which seems to have vanished. But tell me guys and gals, either in a review or PM me. Where should Kari be going?
Love to each and every one of you, especially if your still reading this.
Pippa.
