Amy sat on the fourth step leaning against the railing resting her chin on her arms. She swung her legs back and forth watching the Doctor run around the control panel. She found it funny how he ran like a mad man pushing buttons and pulling levers. Rose sat down next to the redhead and laughed.
She leaned forward and whispered, "At least I don't look a monkey fighting over a banana when I fly the TARDIS."
"You can fly the TARDIS!" said Amy with a bright smile.
The Doctor stopped and looked up at the girls. "Yes she can. I do not look like a monkey fighting for a banana. If I did there would be a banana on the floor. I love bananas. They're high in potassium."
"Sweetie look by your foot." said Rose pointing. "No dear your left foot." She said when he looked to his right.
The Doctor picked up the peal and held it up for the girls to see it. "Who ate a banana and left this on the floor?" He asked holding up a banana peel.
"It was her." said Amy and Rose at the same time pointing at each other.
"Rose." he said slightly in a warning tone.
She raised her hands in the air. "I swear I did not do it."
"Amelia." he said in the same warning tone. She shook her head. He lowered his hand. "Don't tell it was me again." He groaned, "I hate when sleep walk. I always eat when I sleep walk."
Rose giggled and said, "At lest you didn't make a banana smoothie this time." She turned to Amy. "One time he made a smoothie and forgot to put the top on the blender. I got covered in ice cream. I had the misfortune of walking in right when he hit the button."
Amy busted out into a huge laughing fit. Rose couldn't help but laugh. The redhead's laugh was infectious. The Doctor threw the peel in a nearby bin and bit his lip trying not to laugh.
"Come now Doctor. You know it's funny." said Rose between laughs.
He let his lips slid into a smile, and he too busted out into laughter. "Ok it is. It's funny." He shook his head and returned to the controls. "Where to my girls?"
Rose's eyes widen and said, "We forgot the home box."
The Doctor smiled. "Nope got it early this morning. You two were sound asleep in the bed."
Rose crossed her arms over her chest. She couldn't believe he did that to her. He gave her a slight grin, and pointed to the box. She slid off the steps using the bar to swing and land on her feet. She walked over to the controls and looked at the old box. It was the one she saw at the museum.
"Don't you go on an adventure without me again. Or you'll be sleeping on the couch" hissed Rose. He gulped and nodded his head. "Good. Now where to?"
Amy couldn't help but giggle at the couple. She asked, "Are you married? Because you surly act like it."
The Doctor smiled at the redhead. He pulled Rose to his side. "Yes we are my dear Amelia."
"Really that's so cool!" Amy swung her legs in thought. "Can we-go to Egypt. I've always wanted to met Cleopatra."
The Doctor smiled and let go of Rose and ran in a mad dashed around the controls. Rose walked back over to Amy and held onto the railing. She told the young girl how the Doctor was before he regenerated. He wore jeans and a leather jacket. He had a slightly bad boy attitude to his personality.
"So each time he has a different personality? That's neat." said Amy. "I bet he got lonely before you." whispered Amy wisely.
Rose looked at the little girl with a slight frown. The abuse had made her grow up sooner then a child should. "Yea. He was very lonely."
The TARDIS landed with shake and a bump. The Doctor grabbed his long coat and stood at the door waiting for Rose and Amy. He smiled down at the over excited girl. He hoped the TARDIS took them to right place and time. Because he knew sometimes she had a mind of her own.
"Are you ready Amy to meet one of the most famous pharaohs of the Nile?" asked Doctor as he pushed the blue door open.
The trio stepped out of the TARDIS and looked around. The Doctor groaned. They weren't in Egypt. The were at a military camp surround by tents. "This isn't Egypt. This is Rome! Right era wrong place."
Amy shrugged her shoulders and skipped in front of the Doctor and Rose. She looked back at the couple. "Well come on let's see what adventure it's holds."
Rose smiled and went after Amy. She took the girl's hand and they skipped pasted the tents. The Doctor smiled and ran after the two skipping ladies. He took Rose's hand into his own and they turned to the right.
"Hello Doctor." said a flirty famine voice.
He turned and saw a woman standing at the opening of lavish decorated tent. She had long black hair wig, toned skin and wore Egyptian style clothing. "You're not Cleopatra." He said walking into the tent. He smiled, "Hello River," Rose and Amy followed him inside the tent. "This is my wife Rose Tyler and this is Amy Pond. This is River Song."
River sat down in a chair behind her. She studied the trio in front of her. "You're different since I saw you last my dear Doctor." She smiled, "And sporting the glasses and sneakers. Not a bad look but I've seen you in better." River turned attention to Rose. "Mmm, you are pretty. But there's something so different about you." She pulled out a blue book in TARDIS blue. She flipped through it. "Yes the Goddess of Time." She put away the book. "No wonder things are jumbled. No matter." She smiled and turned to Amy. "So little Miss Amy how do you like the Doctor?"
"I think he's great. Him and Rose came to my house. I have a crack in my wall." said Amy. "But the Doctor told me it was actually a crack in time."
River sat back in thought. "A crack in time. How interesting. And the Doctor comes and takes you away." She nodded head. "Let me guess you can read hidden codes, old languages."
"How do know that?" asked Amy in awe.
"I have my ways of knowing. Just as Rose knows many things that must not be told." said River. "Come and look at this for me." She said pulling out a piece of paper. She laid it out on the table nearby.
"Is it ok? I mean do you trust this woman." asked Rose holding Amy gently in place by her shoulders.
"She will be fine. Nothing will happen to Amy." said the Doctor. He bent down and said, "Go on it's all right."
Amy walked over to the strange woman and looked at the paper in front of her. "This is same writing that was on the box in the museum."
The Doctor narrowed his eyes at River. "How did you get a copy of that?"
River looked up and smiled and said, "Spoilers. Can you tell me what this says?"
Rose ran over to Amy. "Don't you do a word she says." She narrowed her eyes at the woman. "I don't trust her."
"But it might be important. She could be the only one that can help us. If this Pandora's Box is like the TARDIS who knows what's inside it. I have to do this. I can feel it." Rose sighed and stepped back from the redhead and stood next to her husband.
Amy ran her tongue over teeth and ran her finger across the symbols and she slowly reveal the symbols. Rose pulled the Doctor aside away from Amy and River, but stayed close enough to keep good eye on the woman portraying the pharaoh.
"Why didn't you tell me that the Pandora came from Gallifrey?" hissed Rose. "Don't say a word." She told him holding up her hand. "What's locked inside it Doctor?"
He opened his mouth but closed it not knowing what to say. He already knew that Rose knew about the Pandorica. He sighed and said, "Yes. It's from Gallifrey. The Time Lords created the capsule in hope to keep it's enemies from causing any more pain and suffering. It holds many different chambers for each creature." The Doctor removed his glasses and rubbed his face with hand. "I just don't know how one escaped. When ever the box was filled we buried-" He stopped mid-sentence, "Oh, it must have escaped with Gallifrey exploded."
"It's in your language. Why can't you decode it." said Rose.
"I looked at the sketching you made and the language is older then I am. It must be ancient Gallifrey language. Something that was lost long before I was born." explained the Doctor. Rose nodded. "Let's go and see what our Amy is up to."
She nodded again and took the Doctor's hand into her own, and they went over to the tent. Rose stood over Amy's shoulder in hope to be able to decode the inscription. She shook her head at the Doctor.
Amy studied it carefully writing down the translation as she read it slowly with River's help of the wording knowing she was still young and her spelling still needed work.
"You're doing fanatic sweetie just take your time." said River reassuringly. Amy looked up and nodded and went back to work. She took the pen from Amy and corrected it. "It's Cybermen."
"Oh, sorry about that." said Amy and took the pen River held out to Amy.
River squeezed Amy's shoulder and smile. She turned and saw the Doctor and Rose standing nearby. She rose from her chair and walked over to the couple. "This will take awhile to decode. Amy's still young and uneducated in Gallifrey lineage. But she's doing wonderfully. I suggested you camp here for tonight."
The Doctor studied the woman in front of him and said, "Yes. I believe you right. The sooner we get that code solved the better. The crack in Amy's wall wasn't there by accent."
"Oh I know. They're tied more into a bigger picture then you think." said River. "Better go help her while you two get settled in for tonight," and she walked back to Amy who sat at the table.
Rose looked back at Amy and River wondering what there connection was. She might be the Goddess of Time, but she still didn't know everything all the time. She knew that something had to pass without anyone knowing the reasons behind it.
