Chapter Two

The Doctor and Amy- he finally brought her along after a total of fourteen years for her- were at a museum. Not any museum, though. This biggest museum in the universe. For such an impressive museum, though, they had many things wrong. Soon the Doctor saw a box- a Home Box- with writing on it. Looking at the writing he saw it was a message for him and it was written in Old High Gallifreyian.

"What does it say?" Amy asked him.

"'Hello, sweeties.'" Those words sound familiar to the Doctor and it takes him a few seconds to place it. Professor River Song from the library said that! The picked up the box, which caused alarm bells to go off, and he and Amy ran towards the TARDIS.

Once inside, the Time Lord rushes to the console and starts to mess around with the box.

"Why are we doing this?" Amy asked him.

"'Cause someone on a space ship 12,000 years ago it trying to attract my attention," He told her. "Let's see if we can get the security playback working." After a few seconds the security footage plays on the monitor and Professor Song is winking at the camera. Soon she is reading off coordinates and the Doctor hastily types them in.

When the TARDIS is materializing he rushes to the door to open in and he grabs onto River's hand and pulls her in causing her to fall on top of him.

"Doctor?" Amy questioned.

"River," he said.

"Follow that ship," River ordered him after she got up to her feet. The Doctor went back to the console and started to follow the ship that River came from. "They've gone into warp drive, we're losing them!" She told him. "Stay close!"

"I'm trying," the Time Lord said.

"Use the stabilizers," Rive suggested to him.

"I don't have stabilizers!"

"The blue switches."

"The blue ones don't do anything. They're just… blue."

"Yes they're blue, they're the blue stabilizers!" She then pushed the blue switch and the ship became quiet. "See?"

"Yeah, well it's just boring now, isn't it?" He said. "They're boring-ers. They're blue boring-ers!"

Amy came up beside him. "Doctor, how come she can fly the TARDIS?"

"You call that flying the TARDIS? Ha!" He walked around Amy and sat in the jump seat. Then River started talking about how she 'parked' them. "Parked us? We haven't landed," he accused.

"Of course we've landed. I just landed her."

"But… It didn't make the noise," he quietly said.

"What noise?"

"You know, the-" the Doctor imitated the noise looking from River to Amy and back again.

River gave him a look and says, "It's not supposed to make that noise. You leave the breaks on."

"Yeah- well, it's a brilliant noise. I love that noise."

"So, where's the other one? Is she around?" River asked.

"What other one? It's just me," Amy replied confused. For a split second the Doctor sees something in River's eyes that he assumes is shock and perhaps sadness but he doesn't know her well enough to make a good guess.

"What do you mean? But what about-" Her eyes widened as she cut herself off and the Doctor assumed that it was because she knew she was going to give something away about his future. "Never mind," River said instead.

"Come along, Pond," The Doctor said to Amy. "Let's take a look." He started to make his way to the door when River interrupts.

"No, wait! Environment checks."

The Doctor turned around, slightly annoyed, and says, "Oh, yes, sorry quite right. Environment checks." He then continues to the door, opens it and sticks his head out. "Nice out," he says.

"How come you can fly the TARDIS?" Amy asked River. The Doctor went back towards the two girls and sat back down on the jump seat.

"Oh, I had lessons from the very best," River replied.

The Doctor grins a little and says, "Oh, well… Yeah"

"It's a shame you were busy that day," River said while looking at the monitor. Her comment made the Doctor's smile slip off his face. For a moment the Doctor wondered who taught her if not him. Nobody else knows how to fly the TARDIS and it's not like he will just go around teaching somebody. Was it this person who River thought was with them? "Now, why did they land here?" River asked as she took her shoes and made her way to the door.

"They didn't land."

"Sorry?"

"You should have checked the Home Box- they crashed." River walked outside and the Doctor closed the door behind her and goes back to the console. He had forgotten how irritating she was.

Amy started to make her way towards him. "Explain! Who was that and how did she do that museum thing?"

"It's a long story and I don't know most of it," He told her. "Off we go." The Doctor then started to type coordinates to a different place so they could leave.

"What are you doing?" Amy asked as she stands beside him.

"Leaving. She's where she wants to go, let's go where we want to go." He proceeded to turn knobs.

"Are you basically running away?"

"Yep."

"Why?"

"'Cause she the future, my future," he replied.

"Can you run away from that?"

"I can run away from anything I like. Time is not the boss of me," he said looking at her then back at the console.

"Hang on, is that a planet out there?" Amy asked pointing towards the door.

"Yes, of course there's a planet." Amy ended up convincing him to let her go out on the planet for a while so they both exited the TARDIS and walked outside.

"What caused it to crash?" River asked while looking at the ship. The Doctor explained what was wrong with it. "A phase-shift would have to be sabotage. I did warn them," she says.

"About what?"

"Well, at least the building was empty. Aplan temple. Unoccupied for centuries." She started to type something into a device so the Doctor walked back to Amy.

"Aren't you going to introduce us?" She asked him.

"Amy Pond, Professor River Song."

River gasped and turned around. "I'm going to be a professor someday, am I?" The Doctor looked down realizing his mistake and squeezes his eyes shut. "How exciting. Spoilers!"

"There's one survivor," River said after a bit. "Something in the belly of that ship that could never die." The Doctor looked at her curiously, waiting for her to continue but she didn't. Instead she walked away talking to someone on her device. "Doctor, can you sonic me? I need to boost the signal so we can use it as a beacon." He takes out his sonic screwdriver and sonics her device from afar. River takes out her book to try to figure out where they are. Just as she did at the library.

When Amy tried to look at it he told her to stay away. "It's her past and my future." Right after saying that a few soldiers come and walk towards them

"You promised us an army, Doctor Song," one of them said.

"No," River replied. "I promised you the equivalent of an army. This is the Doctor."

The soldier introduced himself as Father Octavian. "Has Doctor Song explained what we're dealing with?" He asked.

"Doctor, what do you know of the Weeping Angels?" She questioned. The Doctor turned his head to her quickly with wide eyes. Not only does he not like dealing with the Weeping Angels but hearing it, plus River song thinking that there was another person on the TARDIS, reminded him of something he keeps forgetting.

When the Angels weep, she will return…

Sorry about the long wait. I'm also sorry, once again, if you thought that this chapter wasn't good and not worth the wait. I'm gunna warn you, I'm not good with updates. I actually planned to post this 12 hours ago but then I went on tumblr and got distracted. Sorry about that. Anyway, to make it up to you, I'm gunna get working on chapter 3. Actually, I already started it but I wrote it when I was sleep deprived about two weeks ago so I'm gunna have to change the whole thing.
