I don't even own a creative disclaimer, man.

"Here you are."

The Doctor tossed Amy a thick stack of paper. It landed neatly on the desk in front of her.

"What's this?"

"Script."

She blinked down at the papers. "Sorry, what?"

"It's the script. We've got fifteen minutes. Come on, then, get started. Haven't you ever heard of a cram session?"

She raised an eyebrow. "We're not actually... Doing this... Are we?"

"At this point, Amelia," the Doctor stopped and glanced at her apologetically. "I don't think we've got much of a choice."

Amy sighed and stared down at the transcript.

"The Time of Angels slash Flesh and Stone," she read out loud, beginning to flip through.

"Wait a second." Amy paused and squinted down at her lines. "Doctor, we've done all this before. This happened already. Actually... this happened ages ago - this is when I first left with-"

"-AH!"

She was interrupted as the Doctor let out a strange shout.

Amy looked up to see the Doctor standing on the trailer's couch, glaring at his sonic screwdriver on the floor.

"What?"

"My sonic!"

"What about it?"

"It's... It's... It's..." He stepped off the sofa and picked it up off the ground at an arm's length, flicking aside his hair quiff. "It's a prop," he finished, whispering in disgust.

"River?"

River Song neared Rory and he sighed in relief. "River, you've got no idea how happy I am to -"

She grabbed his arm and began to pull him forward gently. "Arthur, hi, thank goodness. Stephen's got everyone looking for you! We've got to be on set in five."

Not River then...?

Rory shook his head. "Oh, uh, I'm not..."

"What is it?" Possibly-River-Song stopped, concerned. "What's wrong?"

"I'm... Not, uh... I'm not... Arthur." He replied awkwardly with a swallow.

The woman raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry?"

"Uh... Because, see, he was here, at least I think he was, but, then he was gone, and, um..." He trailed off.

She nodded carefully. Could be a trick, or another one of the cast's usual games. "Oh, I see. You're the stunt double, then?"

The confused man blinked, then nodded mutely. Best to just go along with it.

"Wow," she muttered, looking an increasingly uncomfortable Rory over. "Sorry. It's just, you look exactly like him. That's quite impressive. Where's Arthur gone off to, then?"

"He, uh... He sort of left."

"He left? Where?"

Rory shrugged. "Just... Kind of... Left." He made a poof gesture with his hands, wondering if the whole disappearing thing was a normal occurrence in... Wherever he was.

"He just left?!" Questionably-but-probably-not-River took a deep breath. "Did he say where he was going?"

"...I... I think he'll be back soon," Rory lied.

"Oh. Okay. Um, that's good, I'll just have to tell the people." Alex smiled reassuringly at the stunt double. Wouldn't want to worry him. "You know, you're not in this episode, but I'm sure we can get some filming done for you! Why don't you follow me."

Filming? Rory Pond swallowed once more, then followed the woman reluctantly. He double-took as he passed a poster of what appeared to be him posing dramatically before a cloudy backdrop.

Thanks for reading! Please leave me your thoughts :)
