Canton looked around the awe-inspiring interior of the TARDIS in wonder, Rory standing behind him. Meanwhile, the Doctor, Amy, Lyra and River stood at the console, the Doctor fiddling with controls. "Jefferson isn't a girl's name." the Doctor explained. "It's not her name either. Jefferson Adams Hamilton. River?"

"Surnames of three of America's Founding Fathers." replied Lyra automatically. The Doctor gave her a curious look. "I'm studying American History at college." she confessed, smiling sheepishly.

The Doctor gave Lyra an appreciative nod. "Lovely fellas." he noted. "Two of them fancied me." he added as an afterthought, winking at Lyra, which just confused the blonde even more than she already was.

Rory, still standing at Canton's side, watched the ex-FBI Agent carefully. "You okay?" he asked, concerned as Canton merely spun slowly around, still taking everything in. "Coping?"

The Doctor, oblivious to Canton's continued shock, didn't falter in his explanation. "You see, the President asked the child two questions; Where are you, and who are you. She was answering where."

"It's bigger on the inside." breathed Canton, his eyes still scanning everything there was to see.

Rory knew this feeling all too well. Despite seeming calm upon first entering the TARDIS - to this day he remembered fondly the memory of telling the Doctor he knew exactly how the TARDIS worked - Rory had actually been even more shocked than Canton. Reading about how time and space travel worked and actually seeing it in action, it seemed, were two very different things. "Yeah, you get used to it."

"Now!" exclaimed the Doctor, oblivious to Canton and Rory's exchange, "Where would you find three big historical names in a row like that?"

Amy knew the Doctor well enough to know he was in full-blown show-off mode, and if she didn't feed the beast he'd go off in a strop, so she conceded and decided to allow the Doctor to show his 'vast intelligence' by asking, "Where?"

"Here!" he answered, a grin on his face. "Come on!" he beckoned, racing to the doors with his companions in tow.

As the Doctor approached him, Canton looked at him, a perplexed expression on his face. "It's ah..." he fumbled, trying to find words to describe the magnificent machine.

Amused, the Doctor ignored Canton's confusion. "Lyra," he called over his shoulder, "Be a dear and take care of this, would you?" he requested, moving past Canton and towards the doors without waiting for an answer. "Ponds, River, with me." he called, and he was gone.

Lyra looked on, bewildered. "Why me?" she groaned.

Barely containing her amusement, Amy stepped towards Lyra and placed an arm on the blonde's shoulder, adopting a sympathetic expression. "'Cause you're the newest." she told her before turning and leaving with her husband and River.

"Exactly!" Lyra called after them desperately. "I'm new! I don't know anything!" But her pleas fell on deaf ears and, as she turned to an expectant Canton, she gave another groan of defeat.

Outside the TARDIS, the Doctor, River, Rory and Amy were gathered in an empty room of a cold building. "Where are we?" asked Amy, still not sure where Jefferson Adams Hamilton was exactly.

"About five miles from Cape Kennedy Space Center," was the Doctor's answer. "It's 1969! The year of the moon! Interesting, don't you think?"

"But why would the little girl be here?" Amy pressed.

The Doctor looked at Amy, expertly hiding the concern he had for the little girl that had brought them all here. "I don't know. Lost, maybe. The President asked her where she was and she did what any lost little girl would do." he said, moving to the window and looking out at the dark street, illuminated only by street lamps. "She looked out of the window."

Amy followed suit, gazing out of the window. "Streets. Of course! Street names."

The Doctor smiled. "The only place in Florida, probably all of America, where those three street names are in the same junction, and Doctor Song, you've got that face on again.

River, who had been focused on the signs on the street corner, turned her attention to the Doctor. "What face?" she asked, knowing she wouldn't like the answer one bit.

"The "He's hot when he's clever" face." he responded, throwing a glance in her direction while a small smirk appeared on his face.

"This is my normal face." River countered, almost immediately regretting speaking the words, because she knew what would come next.

"Yes it is." agreed the Doctor.

River glared at the unfashionable Time Lord. "Oh, shut up." she snapped lightheartedly, knowing she only had herself to blame.

"Not a chance."

It was at this that Canton and Lyra exited the TARDIS, and if Canton had looked confused before it was nothing compared to his reaction at being in a different place. "We've moved! How... How can we have we moved?"

The Doctor looked from Canton to Lyra. "You haven't even got to space travel yet?"

Lyra shot the Doctor a cold look. "I told you I didn't know anything!" she growled. "I explained it as best I could."

Five Minutes Earlier

"Right… uh… how to explain this thing." Lyra murmured to herself, glancing around in hope of finding some inspiration. "It's, uh, it's this machine… thing. And it… well, I don't quite know how it works." she admitted. "It shakes about a lot! I think. And it goes through time. At least, the Doctor makes it sound like it does. Well, we ended up in 1969 so I reckon it can." Lyra raised her eyebrows hopefully, expecting Canton to get it all now, but he simply stood there gawping at her as confused as he was when Lyra started speaking. Lyra's shoulders slumped and she sighed. "Oh forget it, let's just go."

OoOoOO

The Doctor gave Lyra a look that said 'really?' and she shrugged. "Well, I did mention the time travel thing!" she said brightly, hoping that scored her a few points.

"Time travel?" asked a stunned Canton.

"Brave heart, Canton!" the Doctor said encouragingly. "Come on!" And with that he left the room and ventured into the unknown, once more leaving Lyra to see if Canton was ok.

Taking a deep breath, Canton adjusted his world view. "So we're in a box that's bigger on the inside and it travels through time and space?" he asked.

"Uh, yeah, basically, I think." she confirmed uncertainly.

"How long have Scotland Yard had this?"

The Doctor and his friends took in their new surroundings. "It's a warehouse of some kind." noted River. "Disused."

"You realize this is almost certainly a trap, of course." responded the Doctor calmly, as though the idea didn't phase him.

River nodded, still looking around. "I noticed the phone, yes."

Amy looked between the Doctor and River, feeling like she was missing something. "What about it?"

"It's cut off," explained River, "so how did the child phone from here?"

"Okay, but why would anyone want to trap us?" the ginger Scot enquired.

"Don't know." the Doctor responded casually. "Let's see if anyone tries to kill us and work backwards."

As the group walked through the empty warehouse, the astronaut from Lake Silencio lurked in the shadows, watching silently. "Now why would a little girl be here?" River asked, clueless to their hidden observer.

"I don't know. Let's find her and ask her." suggested the Doctor.

River, noting a strange machine with thick wires protruding from it, walked over to observe the peculiar mechanism further. "It's non-terrestrial." she said, pulling out her scanner. "Definitely alien. Probably not even from this time zone."

"Which is odd," the Doctor continued, approaching a box of space equipment, "because look at this!"

"It's Earth tech!" a baffled River stated. "Contemporary!"

"Very contemporary!" the Doctor agreed. "Cutting edge! This is from the Space Program!"

"Stolen?" River postulated.

Amy scoffed lightly. "What, by aliens?"

The Doctor, still distracted by the box, didn't note Amy's derision at the idea of aliens stealing items from the Earth Space Program. "Apparently!"

"But, why?" she asked, making her skepticism known. "I mean if you could make it all the way to Earth why steal technology that could barely make it to the moon?"

"Maybe 'cause it's cooler!" offered the Doctor, grinning as he found an astronaut's helmet and putting it on, lifting the visor. "Look at how cool this stuff is!"

Amy still wasn't sure. "What, cool aliens?"

"Well what would you call me?" asked the Doctor, preparing himself for another ego boost.

"An alien." countered Amy with a smirk.

"Oi!" the Doctor snapped, taking the helmet off and watching as Lyra and Canton approached.

"I think he's okay now." said a considerably cheerier Lyra, after having bonded with Canton over how new they both were to the Doctor's lifestyle.

"Ah!" the Doctor exclaimed happily. "Back with us, Canton?"

"I like your wheels." Canton offered calmly, taking a cursory glance around the warehouse.

The Doctor grinned. "That's my boy. So come on! Little girl! Let's find her."

Amy moved over to River, throwing a cautious glance over to the Doctor to make sure he wouldn't be able to hear her. "River..." she began.

"I know what you're thinking." interrupted River.

Amy's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "No, you don't."

"You're thinking if we can find the spaceman in 1969 and neutralize it, then it won't be around in 2011 to kill the Doctor.""

"Okay, lucky guess." Amy grumbled.

River met Amy's gaze. "It's only because I was thinking it too." she confessed sincerely.

Hope swelled within Amy. "So let's do it!"

"It doesn't work like that." River said matter-of-factly. "We came here because of what we saw in the future. If we try and prevent the future from happening we create a paradox."

"Time can be rewritten." insisted Amy.

"Not all of it."

"Says who?"

"Who d'you think?" asked River, nodding to the Doctor. Something caught River's attention and she shone her torch on a manhole. "...What's this?" she murmured.

Amy's gaze was now on the Doctor. "We can still save him..." she vowed, more to herself than anybody else.

"Doctor!" River called, ignoring Amy. "Look at this!" She moved over to the manhole and looked down.

The Doctor followed River to the manhole with a look of interest. "So, where does that go?"

River pointed her scanner down the hole. "There's a network of tunnels running under here."

"Life signs?" enquired the Doctor.

"No. Nothing that's showing up."

"Those are the worst kind." he mused as River began to climb down into the manhole. "Be careful!"

"Careful?" said River, looking up at the Doctor with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Tried that once. Ever so dull."

"Shout if you get in trouble." the Doctor requested.

At this, River smiled knowingly. "Don't worry. I'm quite the screamer." she told him as she began to descend. "Now there's a spoiler for you!"

As River vanished from sight, Canton called for the Doctor's attention. "So what's going on here?"

"Uh... nothing." the Doctor replied, a tiny bit flustered. "She's just a friend."

"I think he's talking about the possible alien incursion." said Rory.

Realising his mistake, the Doctor cleared his throat. "Ok!" he said, clapping both Rory and Canton on the shoulder.
