A.N. Thank you, once again, to jo13 and Rwy'n-Y-Blaidd-Dwrg again for review, and thanks to jo13 for giving me an idea! Enjoy everyone!
Amy and Rory stepped out of the TARDIS to find themselves on a very fancy expensive looking train. The Doctor was just leaving the carriage in front of them to go into the next. In the carriage that they were currently in, had compartments on one side, and then just windows looking out into space. They came out, just in time to hear an announcement voice say,
"A reminder to all passengers getting off at our next stop, we are currently near the biggest Applan Temple in the Garn Belt." Amy rushed to the window. She knew the Doctor would, well, MIGHT, wait for them in the other carriage, if he didn't, they could catch his up somewhere. Sure enough, looking out the window, she could see that planet, with the Applan Temple in plain view. "We will be stopping at the nearest startion to the Temple, which is 2 miles from the Temple, for any passengers wishing to leave the train, and passengers to come aboard." Looking at the Temple, Amy knew that there weren't any Angels in there yet, or at least she hoped. If the Doctor had got his dates right, it was still populated by the Applans, so the Angles hadn't killed them off yet. It was a bit scary, when she thought about the fact that she knew what was going to happen to the temple, and the race that built it. She thought that it wasn't nice to have the fore knowledge. Just looking at the Temple caused a slight shiver to run down Amy's spine. Rory looked out the window too.
"That's where we saw the Weeping Angels. The first time we met River." Rory looked at her, then back at the Temple. "I almost died there, I had an Angel in my eye. I had to 'walk like I could see' so that the Angels thought that I could see them, and then not try to kill me. As soon as I tripped, they realised that I couldn't see."
"Didn't the Doctor try to help you?" I seemed most unlike the Doctor to leave Amy in a situation where she was at such a high risk of death. You were nearly always at risk of death with the Doctor though.
"He was on the other side of the forest with River." Rory looked around the planet and the Temple.
"There's no forest."
"We were on the Byzantium, Intergalactic spaceship, going years between planets, so they need to breath. The forest, for them, was an oxygen factory."
"Good to know that you listen to me, Pond." The Doctor had joined them.
"How did you escape that?" Rory knew that Amy had escaped from the Angels, the proof was in front of them, but listening to the story, it seemed impossible that she could have escaped.
"River managed to get a teleport on the main flight-deck working, and used that." The Doctor almost finished Amy's story.
"How did you then escape all the Angels?"
"They were draining all the power from the ship," Amy continued the story before the Doctor could start. She was talking really fast, and not taking many breaks, as if she was worried that the Doctor would interrupt her, "They drained the gravity from the ship too. We held on, but the Doctor was looking at them, so they couldn't move. They all fell into one of the cracks, causing that one to close for the time being, and then we climbed out of the Byzantium." Amy finished her tale.
"How did the crack close for that time."
"We fed it a complicated space thing, which kept in quiet for a bit."
"OK, now that you've finished that story," the Doctor made Amy and Rory jump with his loud voice, "Why don't we explore this ship? Find the Egyptian Goddess?"
"You really don't like dwelling on the past, do you?" Amy looked at the Doctor.
"I hate repeats." He muttered.
"Well," Amy sounded excited, "Let's go! Come on!" She grabbed Rory's hand, and ran through the door to the next carriage, with the Doctor just in front of her.
Rory was being dragged along by Amy, and they were both getting a bit tired from running.
"Doctor," Amy complained, "Where are we going, we're just running through all the carriages, you're not even looking at them!"
"We need to get up to the carriage, we need more information on this Goddess, she probably looks different from when I saw her!"
"Then why are we running? We're not even being chased by anything!"
"Yet…" Rory may have mumbled quietly, but Amy still glanced at him, with an expression showing that she had heard him clearly. "What, we nearly always seem to get chased by something or another when we travel with him."
"True…" There was a lot of truth in that when Amy thought about it. "Rory's got a point," she said, looking at the Doctor, "Why are we wasting our energy now, when we may need it later?"
"It's more fun that way!"
"But if we have to catch this Goddess…" Amy remembered that the Goddess was, after all, lose on the train, and the Doctor had been called to help. The Doctor cut her off before she could finish her sentence.
"What makes you think we'll have to chase her?"
"You said she was lose on the train," Rory pointed out, "They need help to get her, she's hardly going to be sitting in a carriage having a cuppa, is she?" The Doctor looked as if he was going to say something to contradict what they had said, but knew they were right.
"Fine, if you want to take all the truth out of it, let's walk." He pranced off in front of the other two, and they could tell from the way that he was walking, that he was not happy to have to do so. They hurriedly caught up with him, as due to the mood he was in he might try and see how they managed to do by themselves.
Now that they were walking slowly, they could see and hear what was going on in some of the compartments. Amy stopped briefly, as she heard a couple of kids singing what at first appeared to be an ordinary nursery rhyme.
"Tick tock goes the clock
It's coming day by day
Tick tock goes the clock
One word they all shall say
Tick tock goes the clock,
And all the years they fly.
Tick tock and all too soon,
You and I must die.
Tick tock goes the clock
All time it shall collide
Tick tock then comes the day
She will swallow her pride
Tick tock goes the clock,
He cradled and he rocked her.
Tick tock goes the clock,
Even for the Doctor."
Amy froze when she heard some of the words. It was partly because, even though the tune and repetitiveness of the rhyme made it sound like it was meant for children, the words seemed a bit morbid, and creepy. The part to do with the Doctor chilled her blood. She was going to listen to the rest of the rhyme, but Rory came up to her.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." She said. She shook her head a bit, as if to remove the memory of the words. That rhyme couldn't be about HER Doctor, it would probably just be about A Doctor, not THE Doctor. The Doctor stuck his head around the carriage door.
"Come along Pond's, we're nearly at the front of the train!"
A.N. I hope you liked this chapter! I decided to use some of the 'Tick Tock' nursery rhyme, half of it is the original, and half of it is what I made up. I thought I would try and link it in to what is done later on, you know, how the dolls are singing the nursery rhyme, and Madam Kovarian, just to link things a bit. Does the Applan Planet have a name? I fyou know it, please tell me! I don't know how often I'll be able to update, as due to helping my sister, we have internet restrictions.
