It took the Doctor, Rory and Amy fifteen minutes to get back to the TARDIS, with no one talking along the way. The silence filled their ears, almost like it was drowning them. When they had reached the TARDIS, everyone looked at each other and the tension in the air seemed to ease. The Doctor opened the door on the blue police box and went inside. As soon as he got in, he sniffed in the air that was TARDIS and sighed heavily.
As soon as Rory and Amy entered the TARDIS the weight of depression, the anger and sadness was sucked off into some invisible black hole and normalness returned to them. They looked at each other, with Amy blushing and Rory scratching the back of his head.
"Yes!, friends back to normal" said the Doctor jumping in the air. "And you!" he turned and walked up the steps, leading to the control panel. "You I missed"
"We weren't away that long" said Rory his voice rough like he had a sore throat.
"Ahh it may not have been long but it was long enough!" said the Doctor and he got on his knees and hugged the control panel.
"Well, what do we do now? Because I really do not want to go back on that planet" said Amy, brushing her hair back.
The Doctor got up from the TARDIS floor and instead sat on the TARDIS steps. He looked absentmindedly at the TARDIS door and ran his tongue over his teeth.
"My friend is doing the wrong thing. He doesn't have to destroy the planet!" said the Doctor.
"But isn't it his choice? Wouldn't you do the same if it was you- Amy stopped and caught herself.
The Doctor looked up at her and briefly smiled. "The thing is Amy, I don't know what I would of done in that situation, but I don't think I would destroy my planet"
"But he obviously gets some sort of closure by doing this? We can't interfere Doctor, not even if we want to" said Rory, looking at the Doctor sadly.
The Doctor's eyes widened and he jumped to his feet. He looked at the control panel and grinned. He touched four green odd shaped buttons and pulled the handle shaped like the end of an umbrella.
Pax pax!
Black cables that hung up in the TARDIS now dangled to the ground, the odd spark firing. The TARDIS began to shake violently and Rory and Amy ran up the steps that led to the control panel and held on to the railings.
"Why is it only now doing this" said Rory, looking up at the cables.
The Doctor moved around the control panel and pressed a blue button. He looked at Amy and Rory, who were still holding on to the railings.
"Why are you both holding on to the ra-
Crash!
The Doctor wobbled and his hands flailed into the air.
"That's why" said Rory and for what seemed like a long time, he smiled.
"Ah, I see" said the Doctor straightening up.
"So I'm guessing by that sound, we aren't on Tawengay" said Amy, relief in her voice.
"Correct, but we're about to be" The Doctor looked at his watch. "We have at least one hour and counting till the Nageshi destroy Tawengay"
"Well how long were we on Tawengay?" asked Rory.
"Well, not long, about four hours" said the Doctor lazily.
"We were on Tawengay for four hours!" said Amy in disbelief.
"Well, yeah" said the Doctor laughing.
The Doctor moved around the control panel and looked at the 10 inch widescreen T.V. He smiled to himself and went around the control panel, fighting the urge to skip. When Amy saw this, she let go of the railing slowly and took large strides towards him. She poked him in the arm, to which the Doctor yelped, and gave him a stern look.
"Got something to be happy for?" said Amy, crossing her arms over her chest.
"As a matter of fact, I have. No poking next time, I have soft muscles and soft muscles bruise easily, I mean, look at me" the Doctor held his arms out to the side. "How can I not bruise?"
Amy looked over at Rory and back at the Doctor.
"We need to talk" she said, looking the Doctor in his eyes. "And no, before you ask, it cannot wait"
The Doctor bit his bottom lip. He knew this would happen but he didn't think so soon.
He looked into Amy's fiery brown eyes and put his arms down. He nodded his head and walked down the steps that led to the kitchen.
Amy looked at Rory, who looked back at her and nodded. Her throat had become dry and she wanted to say she was sorry but all that came out was a sort of suffocating sound so she turned her head and ran after the Doctor.
Amy entered the door and was greeted with a long hallway. And there, standing in the middle of it was the Doctor, his head bowed as if in shame and his hands by his sides.
"I'm guessing you know why I want to talk to you" she said, clearing her throat.
The Doctor brought his head up slowly, with his green eyes on her face.
"Don't worry, I've already forgotten it!" said the Doctor and he smiled.
"Well that's good to know, and I'm glad that you would forget about what happened, I think" Amy was rambling and she knew she was rambling. "Umm, right, but the thing is that, how should I say this, I haven't"
"I don't know what to do about th-
"I don't want you to do anything about it Doctor because, although I wasn't myself, the way you make me feel Doctor is . . ." Amy trailed off and stamped her right foot on the ground. "Like this!"
"Like what?" the Doctor said in a surprised tone. "I haven't done anything wrong!"
"Yes you bloody well have!" said Amy, getting frustrated, her cheeks going rosy red. "You make me feel the way Rory makes me feel, but more . . . it's hard to explain" "Then don't explain it Amy" said the Doctor, walking towards her. "You don't need to say something that you'll regret" The Doctor stopped in front of Amy and held her right hand with both of his and looked deeply in to her eyes.
Amy looked down at the Doctor's hands. They were soft like velvet and she felt a shiver go down her spine. She removed her right hand from the Doctor's hands and looked away.
"The thing is Amy, is that" The Doctor started to clear his throat and go slightly pink. "I may have feelings for you"
Amy looked up at the Doctor with her widened brown eyes and backed away slightly.
"But as a friend" said the Doctor calmly and even though he smiled, sadness lingered in his green eyes. The fact was that the Doctor felt something for Amy. Be it love, the mystery that she seemed to give off, or her cheekiness, he wanted her. But the Doctor knew that he couldn't have her. He knew all too well that he couldn't.
"The Doctor and his companions can never last; they must part ways" thought the Doctor eerily and his smile wavered.
"Wait, what? You have feelings for me, yet as a friend?"
The Doctor nodded.
"Well are you sure? Does your heart beat when you see me?" asked Amy.
"Yes" the Doctor paused. "But my heart beats every time really"
"You know what I mean Doctor"
"The thing is Amy, I don't know how I'm suppose to feel about this whole situation and quite frankly I don't like it, I mean, here I am on my TARDIS with you and Rory, wondering why on heavens you kissed me or even like me, I mean look at me? I'm not like Rory, I-I-I-I stutter now apparently and you are laughing . . . Why are you laughing?" said the Doctor looking at Amy curiously.
Amy had started to go into fits of laughter. This was the most she had laughed in a while. When she had finished laughing she wiped a tear from her right eye and looked at the Doctor smiling.
"I like you because you . . . are you Doctor" said Amy and she kissed his cheek.
The Doctor felt a shiver go down his spine and closed his eyes.
"Although I have feelings for you, Doctor, I can never be with you because you aren't Rory. You aren't the stupid head that I fell in love with or the mighty roman that is my husband. And although it pains me here" she picked up the Doctor's left hand and guided it to her heart. "You will be in my heart forever, just like Rory will" Amy said softly and she put her face on the Doctor's hand.
She wanted to feel the warm softness of his hand. She rubbed her face on his hand and her eyes gazed up at the Doctor's face.
The Doctor had gulped and although he wanted to stop her, he didn't. It felt nice and wonderful to him and suddenly his hearts panged. This would probably be the only time that she'd do this to him. Yes she hugged him when things went wrong or tried to make him laugh, but the closeness of her face on his hand and almost intimate gazing she had in her brown eyes, that would be gone.
"This means" said the Doctor, his voice in a whisper.
"Yes" whispered Amy, knowing what the Doctor was about to say and she withdrew her face from the Doctor's hand.
She looked up at the Doctor's eyes and saw a glint of something breaking inside them.
"Amy, we're still friends right?" said the Doctor and his hearts started to race.
"Of course!" said Amy and she hugged him tightly. "We'll always be friends"
The Doctor smiled and he hugged Amy back. He breathed in her scent and exhaled in delight. She smelt like blossomed Lilacs with a Strawberry twist and a hint of golden honey.
Crash!
The Doctor and Amy separated and wobbled.
"OH! OH! We're here!" said the Doctor excitedly and he was about to run when Amy grabbed hold of his arm.
"Doctor, again, I'm s-
"Now now Amy, there's no need, as long as you are with me, all is well! If you want to talk about it more than we will later"
"I need to give you something"
"Well can it wait?" asked the Doctor looking at Amy.
"No, I don't think it can, I just need to get it out of my system" said Amy biting down on her bottom lip and looking at the Doctor's lips.
Amy walked up to the Doctor and brought his head forward, pursed her lips and went in to kiss him.
But the Doctor tried to fight it. He couldn't do this.
"Amy, please" said the Doctor but Amy kept shushing him. "You don't have to do this"
"Will you shut your gorgeous mouth please" said Amy fiercely and her lips brushed the Doctors.
The Doctor gulped hard. His palms had started to sweat and his chest tightened.
Amy's lips brushed the Doctor's again and this time the Doctor got the same electric sensation that ran down his spine when Amy first kissed him on Tawengay.
Tawengay.
The Doctor shuddered and looked at Amy.
"I can't do this Amy. Something inside me wants to but I can't, I just can't, I have to go"
"No, you will not!" said Amy and her lips finally stopped brushing the Doctors and kissed them.
The Doctor felt like the whole universe had gone still. That each and every star seemed to stop in its place, that each and every planet stopped spinning on their axis, just to watch.
Amy stepped back from the Doctor and fiddled with his bow tie.
"Bow ties are definitely cool" said Amy smiling. "But not cool enough for me"
"You are right though, Bow ties are cool" said the Doctor and he smiled.
And although he smiled, he felt hurt that he would never be able to be with Amy like Rory was. To have someone that would comfort him as much as Amy did to Rory or vice versa or to kiss him with the same passion and enthusiasm. But even though he had the TARDIS, he didn't have someone to hold. He was alone.
The Doctor cleared his throat and looked at Amy. She looked at him smiling and punched his arm gently.
"Hey, what did I say? I have soft muscles!" said the Doctor and he put his arm around Amy's shoulder and walked through the door leading to the console room.
"Everything good?" asked Rory, his gaze on Amy's face when they had entered.
"Everything is Amazing!" said the Doctor running up the steps and looking at the control panel.
"So where are we now Doctor?" asked Amy cheerily.
"Tawengay!" said the Doctor and he dashed towards the TARDIS doors. "But the catch is that, sadly, you two aren't coming with me"
"Wait, your leaving us here?" said Amy in a surprised tone. Her chest had tightened. "But I thought we left Tawengay?"
"We did, and if it wasn't for Rory, Rory you smart man you, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have decided to go back in time to stop the war from happening!"
"But how do you know what year this war happened? Alfonso didn't really give us an exact date" retorted Rory.
"And you do realize that we are on the TARDIS, the beautiful TARDIS, which takes us anywhere we want."
"So that's why you were happy. You found out the date!" said Rory, and he couldn't help but feel admiration for the Doctor.
The Doctor grinned and then the next second he became serious. He looked at Amy and then Rory.
Amy had moved closer to Rory and taken his left fingers and entwined them with her right.
The Doctor felt another pang in his hearts and his seriousness almost wavered.
"Right you two, stay in here and do not, I repeat, do not come outside"
"Don't worry we won't. I must say, out of all the planets we've been to, and that one was the second most creepiest we've seen" said Rory and he shuddered.
"What was worse than that?" retorted Amy.
"The cow-dung. When we had to-
"ohhh yeah, ew, please, I'm sure we made a vow not to speak about that ever again" said Amy grinning at Rory and she kissed him. "Not the flashiest planet we went to, right Doc . . ." Amy trailed off.
The TARDIS door was ajar and the Doctor was nowhere to be seen. "Tor."
Amy puffed out her cheeks and looked down at her feet. Did she cause the Doctor to go out without telling them? What if he wasn't handling that she chose Rory over him? Amy shook her head. "There's no way the Doctor would be like that! He even said that he liked me as a friend" thought Amy.
"The Doctor lies" said Rory, making Amy jump out of her train of thought and looking up.
"What?"
"Nothing, just something I've noticed" said Rory and he walked towards the TARDIS door and closed it.
