The first part of the epic conclusion of "May I Have This Dance?" Well, I hope its epic! Thanks everyone for liking it so much because I loved writing it! This is it! Maybe this and one more chapter! Thanks for reading! I guess that's all I have to say…can't think of anything right now. This wasn't really supposed to be a shipping kind of story, just friendship love. That love is always true
"I wonder if Amy will blush in this chapter?"
"DOCTOR!"
Amy shut her eyes and held her hands in front of her face. She was prepared to face death.
"Did someone call me?" Time was frozen once more. Amy opened her eyes slowly and saw her Doctor, her best friend; standing in front of her, arms outstretched protecting her from the car, that was still speeding, but in slow motion.
"Do-Doctor?" She stood up and gasped. She went to hug him, but he stopped her—
"Get out of the way Amy." She froze and stuttered, not knowing what to do. "Listen to me, get out of the way NOW!" Amy didn't move.
"I won't leave you!" She cried. Suddenly, she felt herself being pushed out of the way and landing on the hard concrete. Something hot and sticky oozed from her head and she felt dizzy. She couldn't die! Not here, not now; she had to protect the Doctor as he protected her. Her eyes were blinded again by the white light of headlights, but this time they weren't headlights.
The lights faded and the Doctor chuckled, still standing in front of the car, now stopped, his foot resting on the front grill. "Are you sure you want to do that?"
"Doctor!" Amy sighed happily and sat up ignoring her blood.
"Amy, stay there!" He turned from Amy to the car. "Get out of the car you witch!" Amy couldn't see who was in the car, but heard a struggle and a window break as a woman growled and the Doctor cursed. "I should've known you'd pull something Thalia."
Amy's eyes flashed open wide. "Thalia?" She weakly called and stood up.
"Amy, don't come any closer!" The Doctor yelled to her, but Amy ran over and saw the Doctor standing over a weaker looking version of her best friend with her long hair.
"Oh god! You killed her!"
The Doctor tried to push Amy away. "No Amy! Don't believe her! She tried to kill you!"
Amy remembered back to when Thalia betrayed her friendship and told her to never see her again. She finally understood the meaning of Thalia's cryptic words: It's safer for you not to have any friends at all. They all seem to be in dire situations… She was talking about the Doctor! "Thalia!" She screamed into the girl's face. "Why, WHY? Why would you try and hurt me, try and hurt the Doctor?"
"I already did." She laughed evilly. "I already did hurt you."
"Huh?" Amy held her bleeding head.
The Doctor pointed his Sonic Screwdriver at Thalia. "Shut up—"
"I already killed you."
"What?"
"NO!" The Doctor stopped holding down Thalia with his foot and ran to Amy's side as she collapsed. She began to shake and moan. Her memories were coming back in a violent manner. Blood seemed to trickle from her cuts even faster. "NO! You witch! Now when her memories rush back they'll kill her! Why did you have to kill her twice? I didn't want to hold her dead body in my arms!"
"It's all for you, Doctor," Thalia came closer and held Amy's face. The Doctor pulled her body away. "I had to lure you into my clutches some way, taking the one girl you cared about most seemed fair." She looked angrily at the Doctor and began to change shape. Her tone grew darker and more insane as she spoke: "You have destroyed all us Epousaiains! You have killed us all through taking back people's memories and saving them from us killing them! So now it's time to kill you and the girl who started it all!
"She was your friend!" The Doctor shouted. "Don't make me angry, I haven't been this angry in a long time and you don't want me to be!"
"Too late!" Thalia began to transform into a great beast and could kill more than just him. Thalia may be the only way to save Amy, but the fate of multiple humans came first. The Doctor put Amy's body down reluctantly, and pulled out his Sonic.
"I didn't want to do this!" He deployed the Sonic right at Thalia's heart or whatever she had there and her insides began to explode.
"AHHH! OHHH!" Thalia cried out in pain. "You—" she began to die. "Have earned—the wrath—of the—Epousaians—uhhh…"
She was reduced to a puddle of bubbling skin as her organs melted her from the inside out. "Get in line." He stated at the acidic puddle and put his Sonic away calmly. The calm was gone the minute he saw Amy having a seizure on the ground, losing blood quickly. "Amy?" No response. "Amy!" He cried out and dropped his head to her heart. No cohearent beat. "AMY!"
"Oh my god!" The Doctor heard people gathering around. It was an accident scene. A car crashed into this poor sad girl crossing the street went it ran over that strange pile of oil that was bubbling. Simple…
"Let me THROUGH!" It was Rory's voice. He knew Amy left the dance, he didn't know she was the victim. Rory and his nose came into view. His mouth moved, but no words came out. The Doctor and he exchanged a look of horror and both cried out over Amy's body. Blood trickled down the Doctor's hand.
"Rory, call 911." The Doctor pushed Amy's hair out of her face.
"But—"
"DO IT!" Rory got out his huge cell phone, common at this time and dialed 911. The Doctor heard him speak in the background of his thoughts: There's been a car accident. Blood everywhere. My god, I think she's dead! Hurry, please! "Amy," The Doctor brushed a strand of hair from the front of Amy's bloody complexion. Amy's eyes fluttered a bit under her eye lids. "Amy, I know the memories are coming fast," He whispered into her ear crying. "You've got to fight! Please for me!" She still didn't move. "If not for me than for Rory, please," No movement. "Oh god." He kissed her hand. "No! NOOOO!" He screamed and paramedics had arrived. He refused to leave Amy's body. He screamed and fought, but the paramedics pulled him away reassuring him he could see her at the hospital, but he knew, he wouldn't see her at the hospital if he didn't help her now. "FIGHT AMY!"
Where am I? A warm light surrounded me as I tried to walk forward. I flew. I was flying across this great landscape, but when I looked down, all I saw were my memories. I saw that when I was seven, I met the raggedy Doctor, I waited twelve years, and went with him in his magical blue box. I saw how he restarted the Earth because of me and how he came to my wedding to Rory. I was always Amy Pond to him even after becoming Mrs. Williams. I saw how he rescued me, but not Rory and I's baby, and I saw who that baby was…I already knew in my memories…
"Hello sweetie." A sweet female voice echoed through my mind.
"Hello?"
"You seem to be off course now."
"I am?"
"You won't be able to wake up again if you don't remember everything." The voice began to come into view.
"What do you mean?"
"The Doctor had many memories with you that you just saw pass by. You don't remember them in the life you are living now. If you want to live and have everything go back to normal you have to remember." A tan, curvy, older woman came into view.
"I can't!" I cried."It's hard!"
"Don't give up just like that! That's not the Amy I know, and that's not what he wouldv'e wanted!"
"The Doctor?"
"Yes," The woman smiled and her fluff ball of curly brown hair blew some sort of breeze. "Amy…" She put out her hand and took mine. It felt so familiar, like I was holding a child's hand…a child's hand! "Do you remember who I am?" The voice echoed in my ears and I knew it from my memories. I knew my memories. I knew who I was. Amy Pond, Mrs. William, "The Legs"! I was the Doctor's time-traveling companion and he needed me right now like I needed him!
"I remember!" Suddenly the world I was in began blowing away and I was flying in the opposite direction it was blowing. The woman's hand was letting go of mine, but I remembered her as well. I was a mother.
"Goodbye darling, I'll see you soon!"
"Goodbye…" I paused as she faded from sight. "My daughter, Melody."
The last thing I heard in this strange airy world was Melody's voice in my head: "Call me River."
"Amy?" A familiar voice echoed through her head as life seemed to come back into focus. "Amy?" It was definitely him.
"Rory!" Seventeen year old Amy sat up from her hospital bed as fast as she could and took a frighteningly deep breath.
"Oh Amy!"
"Rory!" Rory went to hug his dear girlfriend, but all Amy wanted to do was kiss him. She kissed his lips over and over again and then kissed his head. "Oh Rory, I thought I lost you forever."
"I thought I did too, come here!" He kissed her more and as he did tears streamed from his eyes. They held each other for a long time rocking back and forth, but then Amy realized someone was missing.
"Where's the Doctor?" She pulled away and looked around her room. Her parents were asleep in chairs by the right wall and a couple vases of flowers sat on shelves, but no Doctor.
"Who?" Rory asked like she was crazy.
Amy looked angrily at him. "Stop joking around!" She punched his shoulder. "Where's the Doctor?"
"Oh no," Rory sighed and rubbed his eyes. "You must have hit your head very hard if it brought back that fantasy!"
"What? Fantasy!" It all seemed very real to her! But Rory pushed it away. He tried to tuck her back in bed.
"The Doctor doesn't exist Amy. How many times do we have to tell you?" He gestured to her sleeping parents. "He's just a dream remember? You started this when you were seven?"
"Wha—but, NO, NO!" Amy stood up and pushed Rory out of the way. "Doctor!" Suddenly very dizzy, Amy fainted into Rory's arms, but managed to stay awake. "Doctor!" Rory settled her back in bed.
"Did someone call for the Doctor?" A nurse came in cheerfully.
"No, no, no!" Rory tried to get the nurse out of the room.
"Yes, I did! My Doctor! DOCTOR!" Rory whispered something into the nurse's ear and the nurse nodded. The nurse turned off the room light and left. "DOCTOR!"
"Shhh," Rory held her hand and pet her hair. "It's all right, quiet…" He kissed her head.
"DOC—No, why?"
Rory stroked her face. "Just go back to sleep, there's no doctor, calm down. Please, Amy. You're just tired." Her eyes were fluttering shut because she was tired, but she didn't want to sleep yet, not without knowing her Doctor existed. "Oh, Amy! Some guy left this for you." It was a small book. "I wanted to throw it away because it looked so old, but insisted I give it to you, right when you woke up."
"Give me that!" She grabbed frantically and turned it over. Utopia: Her favorite novel and it was the one from the library she checked out every week. Now she had it. She opened up the first yellowing page and written large in pen on the inside cover was the word:
Promise?
A tear fell down her cheek and Rory took the book. Tucked in her bed she started crying where Rory didn't see, and she whispered out loud. "I do. I do promise." She clutched where her heart was as she fell fast asleep.
