"Sherlock," Amy blinked. "How-?"
Sherlock cut his words off and explained in perfect detail: "When you kissed me, you smelled of someone else. Since it was morning, early in fact, I thought that it was someone, who you just met, because I couldn't recognize it. After the kiss, I could tell that your heart was confused. When you went upstairs to change, I sneaked outside and saw the box. I found it weird for a police box to suddenly appear in front of your house, but then I remembered some articles of a time lord traveling from time to time with the exact same box. I know, who he is in perfect detail, now tell me, Amelia, why do you want to go? Run off with a time traveler rather than spend time with your boyfriend on your anniversary?"
The Doctor scratched his ear, not wanting to be in the middle of the argument.
Amy shook her head gently. "No, I don't want to leave you. I just wanna find out why can't I remember anyone else before meeting you!"
Sherlock hesitated for a while. He knew what Amy meant about that. About a year ago, he found Amy unconscious next to a burning building and a crime scene he was working on. At that time, the only thing Amy could remember was her name. Both his brain and mind said that revealing the answers in 'time' will help her.
"I get it." he said as he bit his lip gently, swimming in his thoughts. His brain stocked away other thoughts except Amy. He's afraid to loose her, because she's the only one he has romantic feeling for. He doesn't know why, but there's something special about Amy that he loves.
After a few moments of silence, Sherlock has decided.
"But I'll have to come with you." he said in the most serious expression he could make. "I know time travel is very dangerous. If two guys protect you, you'll be twice as much safer."
Amy's face went from a pout to a bright smile. She couldn't help, but tackle hug Sherlock. That was a very powerful hug, because they both fell down.
"Thank you!" she kept repeating in a squeaky Scottish accent.
The Doctor shrugged. "The more the merrier, like they say! Anywhere you'd like to go, then, Amy?"
He was relieved that the argument didn't end with a fight, like some humans intend to do. When hearing her name, Amy quickly got up and ran to the Doctor, ready-for-adventure style.
"First, I want to pay a visit to Jeanne D'Arc. I want to see what she's like. Like Mila or someone else." The Doctor walked around the TARDIS core – pressed buttons, pulled levers – until it started to make this spinning sound. The whole 'space ship' got shaky.
Sherlock was holding onto a pole next to him while Amy and the Doctor went with the shake like two daredevils, but the fun stopped after a couple minutes. Next step was – Find and see Jeanne D'Arc.
All three walked out of the TARDIS and in front of them was a beautiful view what you can't see every day. The gentle breeze was in the air, moving branches from beautifully colored trees, yellowish-brown hay and the flowers growing with them. The birds were singing their songs.
"Not bad." Sherlock complimented the nature. "Too bad this nature will be destroyed in the far-future."
"Enjoy the history, Sherlock," Amy poked him. "enjoy every minute of it."
That made Sherlock smirk. He nodded.
The Doctor grabbed binoculars out of nowhere and looked at a nearby forest. "She should be here by now." He gave out information.
"Who? Jeanne?" Amy asked, taking his binoculars and also looking there.
The Doctor soniced the binoculars and they zoomed farther. "Oh, I can see her now!"
From afar she saw a woman with flowing oak bark-brown hair, in a silver armor, carrying a flag and riding on a white steed, with her army.
"She's very different than I imagined." Amy pointed out.
Jeanne and her army got closer and closer, what made Amy even more excited.
When she discovered that it was too silent around her, she slowly took away the binoculars and looked behind her. No one was there.
"Doctor? Sherlock?" She blinked. The boys are nowhere to be found. All she could see was miles of hay. Not too far, she could hear someone moving in the hay. This is not like Sherlock to hide away from her.
"This is not funny, guys." Sweat of fear was falling from her forehead. Scared of what might pop out of the hay, she started to run towards Jeanne, with her life.
She hoped both the Doctor and Sherlock were already having a delightful chat with her. When she was only 10 meters close to Jeanne, she stopped.
"Who goes there?" Jeanne yelled. Her voice was gentle, yet tough. She had also stopped. Amy gulped and walked up to her.
"Amelia Pond." she said. Since this isn't her time, and to avoid risks of changing the future, she decided to make up a little lie. "I lost my companions – Sherlock Holmes and the Doctor – Have you seen then come here? I haven't been here before, so I'm kind of lost."
Jeanne looked at her with perfect care. The soldiers behind her chuckled silently.
"Silent!" she yelled at them and then looked at Amy "Why are you naked, Amelia? Are you aware revealing that much of yourself may be punished with death, in some regions?"
"No, I was not aware of that and I apologize." Jeanne looked up to the sky with her eyes closed, then back at Amy.
"Come with me, Amelia Pond. God says you will do well in our plot to save the earth from destruction."
Hands in the air, Amy blinked. "What?"
This was NOT in the history books.
I hope you're enjoying it so far. I'm trying to improve my story-telling techniques and writing as I write this story! Am I doing good? Please write a review. :)
Personally, I think this story has a lot of potential.
