ireflies Chapter 23
Hey just a little advise tip. I don't want my reviewers/ story readers/favourite story followers/ author adders to fall into the same patten I did.

You know who your friends are. Well you think you know. I thought I knew all my friends like the back of my hand, but I didn't. One of them told a secret. My secret. The biggest, the oldest and the only secret I had held. She told.
When you feel so physically sick it hurts, when your breathing so heavily it's like your lifting weights with your lungs. Your crying that hard, you begin to create a river of tears.
Your shaking. Your crying. All you want Is to turn into a tortoise and hide in it's shell. But that can't even hide you from the people she just shouted out too.
Crowds start to gossip, then walk up to you asking question after question after question... Luckily for you, there's one goddess in the way from the mob of seagulls and you. The one that sends the gulls away, the one that helps you on the way. She turns to you and smiles weakly, your tears have marked your face and your eyes are bloodshot. But she doesn't care, she hugs you tightly and know you know who your best friend is.
Mine is Emu and visa-versa :)
Thanks for being there for me when everybody else was being a seagull.

Doctor's P.O.V.

"SSSSHHH!" everyone shouted at me as they were on the edge of their seats.
"What?" I answered.
"Get outta the wayyy..." Amy groaned as she started doing some weird flappy things with her hands telling me that I should move away from the TV.
"What is it?" I asked from the side.
"DOCTOR! SHHHUUUTTT UPP!" they all shouted in sync. Clearly annoyed. I turned to face the TV.
"Oh not this again..." I moaned.
"Yes now shut up!" Bella answered. They have been watching this tv program for hours on end. Seriously, they watched it last night and the night before that and the night before that. In fact they knew all the words for this episode of South Park. I think it had became some sort of a habit. It must have been every time I told them I was going to fix the TARDIS they would all go up stairs and watch this. Why did Rory have to leave all of them DVDs behind?
"Come on you lot!" I exclaimed as I clapped my hands and went the plug.
"Doctor? What are you doing?" Amy groaned as she stared at the TV.
"Five, Four, Three Two One." I smiled as I yanked the plug out with my boot. The TV went black and they all moaned. Then looked at me.
"Come on let's go." I told them.
"Nahh..." they replied as they sunk back into the sofa.
I walked away and took us to Earth.

5minutes later.
"You coming?" I called. Only Rory came down.
"Yeh I'll come with ya." he said as he made his way to me.
"Bye Pond, Bye Swan!" I called up. They didn't answer.

Stepping out into what felt like the Arctic was not a nice feeling. We were in a snow covered garden.
"Where are we?" Rory asked.
"Earth. 1st December 2011 About 2:30am and were in a Garden." I told him. Somebody's snow covered garden. Then suddenly a tall girl wondered out. She looked about Amy's size but she didn't look like her. Well her face did a tiny bit. She was wearing short summer navy blue PJ's with brown tatty ugg boots. Her long maroon hair covered her shoulders, her brown eyes gazed at us and her torch in her hands. Her pale skin was marked with darker skin, scars I believe but they were dotted about on her arms and legs. None on her face or chest.
"Hi." She said as her knee's pointed inwards and her body was shaking.
"Hello." I answered.
"You look lost. Wanna come in? It's cold here." she said.
"Please." Rory answered. She opened the door which led to her kitchen. We followed her in. She wondered to the living room and stood staring at us. Her house was much warmer. Brown leather sofa, in front of a black tv. A green fluffy rug which hugged your feet, The fireplace was all so warm it tingled. And that was it.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Sorry, I'm The Doctor and This is Rory Williams." I smiled at her.
"Hey." Rory added.
"And you are?"
"Amber." she said.
"Nice to meet you Amber." I smiled. "What's your last name?"
"Stokes." She answered.
"A Stokey." I exclaimed. "A Stokey, say are you from a place called 'Stoke-On-Trent?" I asked. She nodded. "Stokey from Stoke!" I exclaimed. "Wonderful."
"Why are you here?" She asked us.
"Why are you up this late?" I smiled.
"You were in my garden." she matched.
"Fair enough." I shrugged.
"Do you want to stay here for the night?" she asked us.
"We'll love too!" I exclaimed. She took us to her room. Inside was a day bed placed against the picture covers wall. Her bed was filled in pillows and soft toys, Which looked like aliens. On the right, In her window was photo's and little figures of Dolphins and giraffes. On the wall opposite the bed, was a TV, in the corner, a work desk, and a pin bored, which held, photo's, a calendar and ticketed. Opposite the wall from the window was a whole wall of wardrobes.
"I'll go a camp bed." she smiled as she walked away.
"Doctor her arms, there covered in scars." Rory told me.
"Yes we know." I moaned. "Just don't say anything."

After Amber but the beds up, we all fell asleep, a day of fixing the TARDIS really makes you tired.

Rory's P.O.V.
I gazed over at the Fluffy light blue alarm clock. Ugh quarter to seven. I stared back at the ceiling and started to follow the pattens with my eyes. Failed epically.
"Psst Amber." I whispered, well tried to whisper over the voice of the Doctor's.
"Yeh?" She whispered. Seems like she couldn't go asleep either.
"Where's your family?" I asked her. I could hear her sigh before she answered.
"I don't know. Out probs." she sat up and looked at me. "You know it's school soon she smiled.
"School? How old are you?"
"15." she told me. "Year eleven can't be that bad right?" she laughed.
"No worse." I laughed. "I remember when I was at school. Gosh that was a long time ago!" I thought about it 2 thousand years back, and a little more. Woah, time has flown. I sat up and looked at her.
"Ugh... My alarms gonna go off any second...Now." she moaned and as soon as she said now it started to flash and ring. She climbed over her pillows, then over me, then over the Doctor to the alarm on the side.
"Come on, time to go school." she moaned.
"I don't wanna go school mummy..." The Doctor moaned as he rolled over.
"Mummy?" Amber Laughed.
"He'll come around he's not a morning person." I laughed, she smiled at me as she grabbed her school clothes from the wardrobe.
"Just go in your clothes you came in last night. You can be some sort of visitors." she smiled at us.
"Yeah, don't worry we'll do that." I answered.

An hour later and a whole lotta persuading the Doctor to get out of bed. We had made It out of the house and we were all walking to the high school she attended.
"So...Do we just walk up with you?" The Doctor asked as we walked to the gates. Already we had eyes giving us the evils.
"Yeh, I'll take you to the office."
Walking up the path to the school. She had glares off most of the people, soon as we walked past them they'd mutter then glare again. I'm so glad I left high school wayyyy back!
"Hey Amber!" some lads called, she didn't turn around but she stopped in her tracks. Suddenly her face screwed up in pain and the crack of eggs splattered on her back. They laughed at her before she carried on walking.
"You alright?" I asked her.
"Yeh I'm fine, I've had worse." she moaned as she walked up with the Doctor.
"Freaks." I muttered underneath my voice.
"Anyway just take the first left, it's just on the side, I'm going in their, I have to talk to my English teacher." she smiled. Walking away, her egg splattered back dripped, leaving a trail of eggy-ness all the way to the block. The Doctor walked inside not even noticing that I had followed her into the English block. She raced up the stairs and went to the last room. I creeped around the door and there she was talking to her english teacher, bit chubby, brown curly short hair.
"And yeah..." she sighed, she turned around to see Me.
"Who's he?" The man, supposedly to be her English teacher asked. "Sir, this is Rory. Rory Williams." she smiled.
"Hey...Sir." I smiled as I walked in. He smiled weakly at me. The bell rang and Amber raced out and straight past me.
"What's wrong with her?" The Doctor said as he sorted his quiff.
"This is the..." I started to say before The Doctor butted in.
"Mr. Smith, John Smith." he smiled as he shook his hand.
"Moston. Mr Moston." he grinned back. Suddenly the bell rang...Lesson time I guess.
"Moston, you know why S3 is?" The Doctor asked, Mr. Moston took us to the room we were meant to be in.

Amber's P.O.V.
"This can NOT be happening..." I mumbled as I placed my head hopelessly in my hands.
"Hi, I'm Rory Williams. Your science-y teacher for today."
"Your not a science teacher, it's relaxable learning day." The Doctor whispered to him.
"So what do I teach them about?" he asked. The Doctor turned around, he placed his hand on his shoulder and whispered.
"The Birds and the Bee's."
"WHAT?" he exclaimed. "No, I..." he stuttered.

Doctor's P.O.V.
"Don't worry, your married, you must have...done it at some point..." I whispered, Rory's cheeks went bright red, crimson red.
"And you havent?" He mumbled. And that made me embarrassed.
"Right ok, I can do that." Rory sighed as he turned around.
"Today, Im going to talk to you about...The birds and the Bee's." he sighed. Ambers head lowered even more, clearly embarrassed by this subject.
Hours went by, and for Rory actually teaching the kids about this...he was actually ok at it. I sat there next to Amber who had fallen asleep all over her papers. Her eyes heavy with emotions and the tips of her hair covered in dried egg. She slept quietly threw the day. Poor Gurl. Shattered.
At the end of the Day the Bell rung and Amber shot up. Shocked.
"What time is it?" She asked as she yawned.
"3pm." Rory answered. "Have you been asleep through all of my lesson?" Rory asked her.
"N-No." She lied before she took from her set and ran for it.
"Amber!" Rory called after her. But it was too late she had already turned the corner.

Amber's P.O.V.
I hope I've got it Or else I'm dead. Deader than dead.
"Oi lads shes over there!" George shouted. One of the guys who throw eggs at me.
"Get her!" one of them hissed as the gang ran Towards me on the crunchy snow. Shit.
Amber, move! Now! Go! Why aren't you moving? My brain hissed at me. I stood there watching them racing Towards me like a flash flood. Finally I began to run, run like hell.
"Get back here freak!" They all shouted. Suddenly it was like running on Glass. Impossible I believe. I fell with a crunch.
C.R.A.C.K.
"ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!" I cried out in pain. My wrist! OW!
"Get her lads."
"Please! No!" I cried as I curled up in a ball. Forcefully closing my eyes. Breathing short breaths. Taking every kick from the guys really hurt, blood trickled from my wrist, the bone had gone threw the skin. I felt sick. Then another blow to the stomach made me throw up that sick.
"Please...No..." I cried, shaking. The gang laughed as they jumped, stomped, kicked, pulled, dragged, lobbed stones at me constantly. I'm doomed...

Rory's P.O.V.
Gosh I hope Ambers ok, she told us to met us here. But that was ruffley 40 minutes ago. She might have gone to that Moston guy.
"Amber?"
Laughter came from the car park, i turned to where I heard the voice come from to see a gang of boys kicking the death out of something...Or someone. I followed the footprints and i stood behind the boys. Threw the feet was a pool of cold blood and a wrist a human wrist. Broken. The bone had forced it's way threw the skin leaving the wound to freeze. Gross.
They laughed as the stomped all over it.
"Back off guys." I hissed, the gang parted to two sides...
"Look who we have here." The blonde hair fattie laughed
"It's that sex ed teacher." another added.
"Now when you've errr... Done that... You can put your thingie in hers." one mimicked me from my lesson. They all began to laugh.
"Just leave!" I hissed.
"Make us." The blonde one hissed back, the approached me. My right hand came out of my pocket and my fingers hung, to let my hand gun threw. I shot at the light, BANG! Sparks flew off.
"RUN!" they exclaimed.
"Yeah and Don't come back!" I shouted, feeling tough. I closed my hand gun. Then took a glimpse of the body. Bruised and Broken. Still and Cold. I knelt by the body. It was definatly a girl. Her hair blew helplessly threw the cold winter breeze. Sick surrounded her mouth and Her face turned pale. Trying not to hurt her anymore, I checked her pulse. It had stopped. No beating heart. Nothing. I checked her purse. Amber Stokes. It read. She was that damaged, I couldn't recognise her.
"I'm so sorry," I cried silently.
"Get back Rory." a voice that I recognised told me. I did as it said. I watched her as the wind blew more harshly. It rattled threw the school and the sound of crying blew in the wind. It started to blow a gale. The wind virtually started to lift her. Slowly but this element had picked her up. Blood dripped from her hand and face. Her head hung as it looked at the ice floor.

Watching this...it was incredible. Her body suddenly picked it self up, her head rose with her arms and her legs pointed down. Then the wind virtually took over her. She had became the air we breathed. Clear but harsh. She stepped down and walked to me. I couldn't believe it. She towered above me. Her hair sort of looked like a tornado, surrounding her body making the sound of the wind. She looked down at me.
"Thanks for scaring them off." she talked but her mouth didn't open. It was her thoughts.
"No problem." I answered. She made a sort of giggling noise before she walked threw me. Like a ghost. I turned around to see it was that Moston guy... She walked straight past him.
"Dont be home late!" he called. The wind hallowed a low 'Whatever' noise before she hovered away.
"Oh...My...God." I spoke as I walked carefully onto the soft snow to Moston.
"Yeah, for somebody with a gun inside his hand, you seem shocked." he laughed.
"Dude! She became the Air!" I exclaimed.
"Great isn't she?" he smiled. "Her friends are the same. Emma's Earth, she looks like a tree, when she's human she flicks her hair and leaves come from it. Jess is water, she's like a giant water person, when she's human she can click her fingers and it will stop or start rain. Georgina's Fire, she looks like a fire girl, when she's human, her hands get that hot it's impossible to touch her. Lizzie's Electric, like lightening girl, when she's human. She can talk to anything electrically. Pretty cool. Amber, she's air. You saw what she looked like. When she's human, she can choke people with lack of air."
"Then why didn't she do it them?" I asked him.
"She hates using her powers for evil, like all of them. Won't hurt a fly. But there as dangerous as the elements it's self."
"So if you touched her when she's the element, her hand will go straight threw yours?" I asked him.
"Yeah, she's air. If you shake hands with Emma, she feels like bark of a tree's, when you shake
With Jess, your hand will just get wet, George will burn you hand to a crisp, Liz will electrify you. But when they go back to being human. They can't remember anything about what they have just been doing in the human life before they changed."
"How come she changed?" I asked as we began to walk.
"Because I told Lizzie too. Her necklace, small pink jewel it holds there forms like a closet and don't worry about her hand, she'll fix that when she gets in." he explained then in front of us was the Police Box.
"Come on Rory, You wanna come to Moston?" The Doctor asked him.
"In there?" he asked.
"Yep." I smiled.
"Ok," he grinned as he stepped in. "It's bigger on the inside." he mumbled.
"It's another dimension..." I explained. "It's also a time machine."
"HAHAHAHA!" the laughter from up stairs roared.
"Don't mind them, they're watching this show." The Doctor said.
"So can this machine take me anywhere?" Moston asked us.
"Anyway and everywhere."
"Ok, can you take me Where ever the girls are going." he answered.
"How are you going to find them?" I asked.
"The jewel, i've got the coodonates for it, I'm assuming it will take us there."
"Ok, roll on." the Doctor smiled.
"(28,28,27,15,6)" he grinned, the Doctor tapped them in and the TARDIS began to sing.

5minutes later we had landed in some kind of abandoned warehouse...Oh...
"Shh, they'll attack if you sneak up on them." Moston explained as he walked out with the Doctor and Me. Creeping around, we heard the whoosh of air and the trickling of water. Bingo found them.

Amber's P.O.V.
"Let me try Emma." I stepped forward and blew the doors down.
"Shh girls, intruders." I told them. We all hovered to the steps of feet and there was Moston, Rory and The Doctor.
"Moston! Rory! Doctor!" I shouted. "What are you doing here?"
"Intruders!" George shouted as she swooped Towards them, inches away there faces hot with heat.
"No..." I started to say before Jess butted in.
"I say that we should take care of them!" she separated into three water bubble things and hurled Towards them.
"NO!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah Jess!" Emma exclaimed, her hair took them all in one whish.
"STOP IT!" I exclaimed as I smashed the windows with the wind I used. "Let them go, there Helpers. And if they don't stand to there point...i'll take them myself, understood?" everyone nodded. Emma let them free and Jess returned to herself.

Rory's P.O.V.
"Oh My God. You are all amazing."
"Thanks but we have work." I think Emma thought as she hovered away. The Doctor walked to George whilist Moston walked with Jess. Which left me with Amber.
"Why did you come?" she asked me.
"I was worried, about you." I answered.
"I'm fine, look I can't take care of myself."
"I don't want to leave you, you seemed lost."
"Lost?" she exclaimed from the top of of her thoughts. The doors slammed shut. She went down to my level still...air but...it was calmer.
"Your the one who seems lost." she stood in front of me. Her smile appeared on her face, her hair swirled around me like a strong breeze.
"Woah, What are you doing?" I exclaimed as I stared to hover. She laughed before she kissed me. It was like breathing in her. I didn't have to stop to gasp for air. It was amazing. Wind blew all around me pushing my hair out of my face. She pulled away to smile and then returned to her normal size and placed me on the floor. She walked ahead with me tracing after her.

We walked with the Others.
"It's clear, we can go back to normal If you wish." Lizzie explained, they all nodded and sighed. It was like, they enjoyed this form. It made them feel special.
"Oh it does." Amber told me.
"What?"
"It makes me special. All of us. We're excepted like this even though we look like elements. But mostly, we except each other." she told me. I smiled inside.
"How did you know what I was thinking?" I asked her.
"It doesn't matter. And it doesn't matter what anybody thinks. I get egged when I walk up to school, I got beat up today, nobody knows what tomorrow will bring but we don't care." she grinned.
"Cause we are we, nobody can change that." she smiled before she changed back in a click of a finger. She was my hight now.
She sighed at her blood covered arm. She didn't even wince at the bone popping out of her skin.
"Do you want me to look at that?" I asked her. "I am a nurse, well a training nurse."
She carefully placed her other hand on top of the bone and thought. I watched her curiously. From what i saw, The bone slowly forced it's way back, she closed her eyes in pain. Then there was a 'click' and then the skin closed over it. She removed her hand and smiled as she twisted it and bent it.
"H-How?" I stuttered she giggled before walking away, her face bruised and damaged.

After the girls finally got the hang off the TARDIS is bigger on the inside than the out. When we finally landed, We said goodbye to the girls. The Doctor walked back in. Knowing my face, I wanted to talk to her alone.
"Amber..." I smiled as I stared at her tear struck face.
"This isnt Goodbye, I don't want you to leave.." she panicked.
"I have too." I told her. "But I'll see you soon."
"No." she cried.
"Here take these." I told her as I pulled some papers from my pockets.
"What are they?" she asked.
"Adoption Papers." I said as I nodded to Moston.
"Your so alone, you have no family to look after you. I just want you to be safe." I smiled weakly. She hugged me hard before I had to pull away. My lips went to touch hers, they met and as soon as they did it began to get windy-er. She pulled away smiling. I smiled before I turned to The TARDIS and walked away.

"Doctor..." I asked as I walked to the controls.
"Yes?" he answered.
"Can I go and see her in the future?" I asked him.
"Why not?" he smiled. And of we went.

We opened the doors to arrive inside a warm house. The leaves had fallen of the tree's, they were golden and Amber. Sitting on the couch in her house was her. Her hair had gone back to brown, her tall figure stayed the same. Except for one thing.
"Rory?" she questioned. "Doctor? Is that you?" she asked.
"Yep." i answered.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed as she hobbled Towards me.
"Who's the lucky guy?" I asked as I pointed to the Bump that came threw her clothes.
"It's...Eric's...My Husband." she answered.
"Your married?" I exclaimed.
"Yeah. It's been 15years since I've seen you."
"It's only been 2 minutes for me." I told her.
"He's meant to be coming soon." she smiled as she rubbed the bump.
"You scared?" The doctor asked she sighed hard.
"It's not that, I'm not scared, cause I am...It's growing up that scares me."
"You've already done 15years of that." The Doctor Laughed.
"Precisely. 15years since I saw you. I was thinking I'll see you again." she sighed. She clicked her fingers she turned into the air once more. The wind blew violently around her. The bump was clear and inside was another figure, her baby.
"That's incredible." I mumbled, she tilted her head in confusion. Before she turned back into flesh and blood.
"What are you going to call it?" I asked.
"Well...We were going to call it Rory." she smiled. "...After you." my heart lifted as well with my smile. It was such a warm feeling. A happy feeling. I haven't felt like this in a long time...
"You can't do that." I answered.
"Why not?" she questioned. "It's my baby besides... I like the name Rory." she grinned. I hugged her tightly. Try to stay manly (nobody will know that you've been crying.).
"Rory, we have to go." The Doctor told me.
"See you soon." I smiled.
"You said that last time." she sighed.
"But I still came back." I answered. I hugged her once more before walking away. I stepped inside the TARDIS and exchanged a glance from her. She gripped her stomach harder,
"RORY!" he called.
"Bye." I whispered as I had to close the doors on her.

"Doctor! I have to see her again..." I told him.
"Oh Rory." he sighed. "Your such a bad roman." he laughed. I smiled weakly at him. "Go on then."

We landed in the same house again, but this time it was a lot noisy-er.
"Mummmm! It's the Blue Box! It's the Blue BOX!" A 8 year old girl with long brown hair and chocolate eyes. She was wearing a red denim dress with ruby shoes. A near perfect copy of Amber cried from the sofa. Then she saw us. "Mum? Who's he?" She asked.
"Oh My God." she mumbled as her hand wondered to her mouth.
"Mummy? Who is he?" the little girl moaned once more.
"Rory, come in please." she said shaking.
"Mum, what's wrong?" a tall teenager walked in. He had brownish hair which was straightened. He had chocolate brown eyes, like the girl. He was wearing a deep purple top saying 'I look Better in Purple.' in White writing and to match, blacky skinny jeans.
"Kids, I would like you to meet Rory Williams and The Doctor..." she said as she walked to me.
"Is it really you?" she asked me.
"Really is." I answered.
"Rory. This is Rory." she smiled as she introduced me to her son.
"Hello." he smiled as he took the earphones out from his ears.
"Hi." I grinned.
"Your named after him." she told the boy.
"Awesome." he grinned as he shook my hand. He looked at my top and gave me a 'Whaaaa' look.
"You've got blood on your top." he told me. I looked down and I did.
"It was your mums. She broke her hand but she fixed it." I answered.
"That was 29years ago." she told me. "And you haven't changed." she cried some happy tears.
"Ouch, 29 years...It's only been about 10minutes to us." The Doctor smiled. The little girl from the sofa walked to her older brother and peered behind him.
"Don't be scared, it's the Magical Doctor." Her brother told her.
"Magical?" he snorted.
"Your The Magical Doctor?" She exclaimed. "Pleaseeee let me In your box! Please oh please oh please oh pleasee!" she begged to him.
"You have to do one thing." he answered. "Be incredible." he grinned. She nodded hard.
The kids followed the Doctor in the Box which left me with Amber.

"So when I left...When did he get born?" I asked her.
"The day afterwords. 2nd October. That was 14 years ago. And when I was 36 i had her. Born on the 26th June." she smiled.
"What's her name?"
"Guess."
"Amber?" I asked. She shook her head.
"You know I could mind read..."
"Yeah."
"She's called Amelia." she smiled. I smiled with her.
"You named your daughter...After my wife?" she nodded.
"That was amazing!" The little girl jumped from the box. Followed by Her Brother and then The Doctor.
"Oh my god, it's actually bigger on the inside." He said shocked.
"Better be off. See you in a min." He grinned.
"Bye." I smiled. They all smiled back as I stepped in.

Of we went. But...
"Doctor, can we-" I started to say but he already knew and took me there.

Sitting In the weak chair was her. Old and wrinkled. I walked over to her, she didn't even notice we had landed.
"Amber?" I asked her. Her head turned to me and she smiled.
"Rory..." she said quieter than usual. "I'm 71. You left me for 27 years." she told me.
"It's been 5 minutes for me." I grinned weakly.
"They've grown up. Amelia'a married and is having her first baby. Rory's had two kids of his own, twins. Lola and Rosalie." she told me. "I'm a grandma." she laughed. I crouched down by her. Then threw the door came Rory and his wife and Amelia and her husband.
"It's time for me to go." she cried. "I feel me leaving already." she told me.
"Don't go." I cried. "Stay...Please." I cried.
"My son, Rory. Look after her. And Amelia. Sweet Amelia. Be brave." she smiled weakly, they both nodded. "Doctor, thanks for the ride, it's been great." she smiled.
"Your were incredible." he smiled straight back.
"And Rory, Rory the Roman. Thanks for showing me the light." she grinned. I nodded. She clicked her fingers weakly and there was her. The air wasn't as fierce. It was flowing slowly, like a cold breeze in summer. But then it slowly came to a stand still.
"I love you all." her voice called as the wind form of her separated and drifted up into the sky happily. Her flesh and blood body was left. Her wind form was her soul. And with out it... She wasn't her. But yet she will be remembered. My god she will. I kissed her forehead before whispering 'See you soon' before exiting the room.

The Doctor sent us into space. I sat unhappily in a chair by the controls listening, remembering.
"You know. She named her kid after you." the Doctor smiled as he placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah. But she's gone." I muttered.
"People fall out of the world sometimes but they always leave traces. Little things we can't quite account for. Faces in photographs. Luggage. Half-eaten meals. Rings. Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely." he told me.
"And if you remember them. They'll come back." he smiled. "In here." he said as he pointed to his brain. "And in here." he said as his finger moved to his heart.
"Thanks Doc." I grinned weakly.
"Wait I'm not finished." he butted in. He took something from his jacket and gave it to me. A photo of me and her. She was bruised but she was happy...And so was I.
"You gave her something that nobody else could give her..." the Doctor said as he glanced at the image. "Life."

Poor Rory :'( he was actually wanted by somebody. Then she had to leave. Maybe Amy might see the light from Rory and see how lucky she is. (Hopefully)
