The Doctor blinked as the green door slammed in his face. "Well, that could have gone a little better..."

"Gee, you think...?" Amy drawled sarcastically, raisng a brow.

"What do we do now?" Rory asked. The Doctor opened his mouth to reply but then closed it while frowing in deep thought.

"We'll try again! Afterall, he can't keep us outside forever!'' The Doctor knocked upon the door loudler than before. "Hello? Mister Baggins? I'm here to help you! Actually, come to think of it you don't look that paralysed." The door was thrown open by an angry looking hobbit.

"What do you want from me?" He snapped.

"Well, I came to help you but I got a bit sidetracked... Sorry. Oh, is Bilbo in? I promised to take him to see the universe and I'm here to fufil it."

"He doesn't want anything to do with adventures, thank you very much!" The hobbit stepped forward angrily, looking slightly threatening.

"A-are you quite sure? You see, he was quite eager to go when I checked. If you're worried about his safety I can assure you that I will not willingly put his life at risk! I swear upon my TARDIS! I'm sure he's mentioned me. I'm the Doctor!"

"I know that."

"Great! Well, we'd best be off! Where's the little rascal?" The Doctor flashed his winning smile in the hopes of convincing the hobbit to let his young friend go with him but it proved highly uneffective on the hobbit.

"You're looking at him..." The Doctor blinked.

"What?" he asked, entering the hobbit hole with Amy and Rory following soon after.

"I waited years for you! I should have never have believed you but I was just so desperate to get away from all the pressure of looking after my father since... since... since my mother passed on and I was so niave! Just imagine be so young and innocent with a promise of adventure only to be let down by it. that's how I felt!" Bilbo ranted as the dwarfs peeked over at them, curious.

"Bilbo, I'm terribly sorry for what I did but I-I-I..." The Doctor fumbled over his words trying to form a response or at least an apology to Bilbo. This is when Amy decided to step in. she shoved past the doctor, rolling her eyes. "Excuse me, Hi. I'm Amy and I had to wait for the doctor for a long time too. I mean a seriously long time."

"OI!"

"Shut up and let me talk to your friend. Anyway, it took me awhile to trust him again yet after I saw him save so many lives, I realised that maybe, just maybe, he was late because someone needed saving. Sure it hurt and it took awhile to agree to go with him but I eventually ended up seeing most of the universe." Bilbo seemed to accept her words as he went in to deep thought.

"Oi, Bilbo! aren't ya gonna introduce us to yer friends?" Bofur hollered from the dinning room, snapping Bilbo out of his thoughts.

"Sorry. Come with me."


Somewhere else far away, deep within the universe, a crack grew in the universe's time system and faults began to link out; signalling the end of time and everything wrapped in it.
