AN: Cutting this part a bit short, believe it or not I spent a while on this, so I hope you enjoy :)

The Doctor followed the girl into the kitchen. "Food! If we are gonna do this I need food. Haven't eaten if a year or two, maybe three...hundred. So little girl, what do we have?" She sits at the table and taps a tune out with her hands, nodding her head in time with the beat.

The girl frowned at her slightly before giggling slightly. "We've got some carrots?" She shrugged and smirked.

"Carrots? Are you insane? No. Wait. Hang on!" She jumped up and opened the fridge doors" I know what I need. I need, I need fish fingers and... custard!" She places around the kitchen pulling her food together whilst the astonished girl watches her, helping herself to the ice-cream, scooping large spoonfuls into her mouth as she watched the Doctor settle back down into her seat, dipping her fish fingers in a large bowl of custard, eating silently, before downing the bowl of custard. Amelia bursts into giggles again. She was transfixed as she and the Doctor chatted.

"So, you're aunt, where is she?"

"She's out..." she looks down at the table. Aunt Shannon had always told her that she wasn't supposed to tell people that she wasn't on her own. But sometimes, it's like she wasn't, it like her mum and dad were there...

"And she left you all alone?" the Doctor frowned slightly, that wasn't right. Amelia snapped her head up and looked the Doctor square in the eye.

"I'm not scared." She watched the Doctor, worried she has said too much.

"Course you're not! You're not scared of anything! Box falls out of the sky, women falls out of a box, women eats fish custard and look at you, just sitting there with you ginger hair all cute and curly. So you know what I think?"

Amelia shakes her head. "What?"

"Must be a hell of a scary crack in your wall..." She stands up, scraping her chair across the floor before heading off to the stairs. "Come on slow coach!" She laughed as Amelia raced after her, before crouching down and racing up the stairs on all fours, making gorilla noises, tripping slightly as she reaches the top or the stairs.

"It's this one!" Amelia appears behind her, breathless, pointing to her room.

"Big house..." she whistles before bursting into Amelia's room and looking around. On the wall opposite was a long crack, four feet long and in a warped w shape. She lets out a low whistle. "You've had some cowboys in here. Not actual cowboys, though that can happen..." She watches as Amelia follows behind her, an apple in hand and a small smile on her face as she ran her thumb over it before holding it out to the Doctor. Small and rosy with a face cut into it the Doctor felt strangely touched.

"I used to hate apples, so my mum put faces on them." She watched as the Doctor smiled down at the Apple, before throwing it in the air and twirling as she caught it.

"She sounds good your mum. I'll keep it for later. Now...!" She rushes forwards and pulls the desk away from the wall, taking care to not knock anything of, before she pressed her ear to the wall, tapping the crack gently. "This wall is solid and the crack doesn't go all the way through it. So here's the thing. Where is the draught coming from?" She pulls out her sonic and scans it. "Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey. You know what the crack is?"

Amelia shook her head, slightly paler than before. "What?"

The Doctor gave her a reassuring smile. "It's a crack. But I'll tell you something funny. If you knocked this wall down, the crack would stay put, because the crack isn't in the wall." She stared at it, transfixed. The feeling she felt around it was like how she felt around Jack. Without the exhilaration. Or the joy. Or...

"Where is it then?"she stared at it.

"Everywhere. In everything. It's a split in the skin of the world. Two parts of time and space that should never have touched..."She lent forwards and licked the wall. "Pressed together right here in the wall of your bedroom. Sometimes, can you hear?

Amelia nodded and the Doctor strained to hear what was being said about Prisoner Zero.

"You need a better wall. The only way to close the breach is to open it all the way. The forces will invert and it'll snap itself shut! Or..."

"What?"

"You know when grown-ups tell you everything's going to be fine and you think they're probably lying to make you feel better?" She holds her hand out as Amelia nods. "Everything's going to be fine." With a flourish and a tight squeeze of Amelia's hand, she aims her sonic at the crack, widening it into a gaping hole, and addresses the Atraxi. A bolt of blue light hits her in the chest and she doubles over before the crack snaps shut. She rambles on as she reaches into her pocket and reads it. "Prisoner Zero has escaped. Well yes thanks for that! But why tell us? Unless..."

"Unless what?" Frilled at the adventure Amelia bounces slightly on her feet with the excitement. She doesn't notice the Doctor's worried look.

"Unless Prisoner Zero escaped through here! But he couldn't have. We'd know!" She races into the corridor. "There is something I'm missing. In the corner of my eye..." The Cloister Bell tolls and she races down the stairs. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" She jumps down the last few steps and crashes towards the garden. "I've got to get back in there. The engines are phasing. It's going to burn!"

Amelia folded her arms. "But it's just a box. How can a box have engines?"
The Doctor shook her head and gathered up the rope. "It's not a box. It's a time machine."
"What, a real one? You've got a real time machine?" she gapes at the Doctor.

"Not for much longer if I can't get her stabilised. Five minute hop into the future should do it.
Amelia watches her run around. She felt a pang as she watched her go. "Can I come?"

The Doctor paused for a moment, taken back by her bald move."Not safe in here. Not yet. Five minutes. Give me five minutes, I'll be right back." She nods and holds her hand up to her.

"People always say that." Not again, she wasn't being left alone again. She watched as the Doctor approached her and crouched, taking her hand, a sad smile on her face.
"Am I people? Do I even look like people? Trust me. I'm the Doctor." She climbs back up the TARDIS floor and perches on the ledge, saluting Amelia with a grin and falling backwards into the TARDIS. "Geromino!" She lands with a splash, the doors closing behind her as the TARDIS beings to materialise.

Amelia packs her bag, thinking about the ginger Doctor, how she was kind. She was quickly becoming like an older sister to her, and in three minutes she would be here!

Two minutes, it was cold; she hoped she wouldn't be long.

One minute. Nearly time!

One minute late. Her head dipped forwards as a tear rolled down her cheek.
