Author's Note:

This chapter is shorter, but the next one is longer so it'll make up for it.

Also, from now on I will be posting new chapters on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I'm starting the final chapter soon so please leave reviews and tell me about your favorite part. I want to make a satisfactory finale (unlike Moffat, jk)

Anyway, let me know what you want to see more of in the finale! Happy reading!


"What do you want, Red?" Leonard drawled as he walked in the ship's galley. "You're a nice girl, but I'm not a homewrecker."

Amy turned and pointed at Leonard with fierce eyes, "You are an idiot."

Leonard, for once, was taken off guard. He froze. But Amy Pond had dealt with a fair number of idiots in her life.

"You have to! Or else you'll miss your chance!" Amy said, choking on the last few words. "Time traveling isn't easy. It's dangerous, messes with your head, and makes you feel like you don't belong anywhere. When Rory and I go home, I always feel separated from everyone else because of the things I've seen with The Doctor."

"What are you going on about?" said Leonard, who was finally shaking off the shock.

"Rory died. He died, Leonard. We got engaged, we went travelling, and he died. I never let myself admit how much I cared about him because I was scared. I hadn't had a family, and I was so scared. Had he not come back-" Amy stopped and turned around, she hadn't meant this conversation to be so emotional.

Leonard looked at the floor as Amy wiped away several tears and tried to continue talking, "We've been friends since Kindergarten. Even after dating for almost seven years then being married for four, Rory still believed he loved me much more than I loved him. When he said that, I realized what I'd done. More specifically, what I'd failed to do."

Amy suddenly turned around and looked at Leonard through glassy eyes, "Don't push Sara -or your feelings- away." She stared at Leonard for a moment longer, trying to figure out what was happening behind those icy blue eyes. After a moment, she realized it didn't matter. "Fine then, I've travelled with enough idiots to know they never take my advice."

Amy turned and began walking out of the galley, hoping no one else was listening in. Then suddenly-

"I'm no idiot." came Leonard's voice. Amy smiled.
