"Mother, it has been a while since we've gotten some Mother Daughter time together. You know, so busy we are these days." River stated as she helped Amy put the groceries away.
Amy put down the bag on the counter. "You're right River." She smiled putting a hand on her shoulder. "But we aren't exactly alone at the moment. " she looked over to the Doctor who was silently fixing the T.V in the living room. The only noise heard was his sonic screwdriver. He looked very concentrated. His tweed jacket was thrown on the sofa and he had rolled up his shirtsleeves.
River gave her mum a smug smile. "Don't worry mum, I'll take care of that."
Amy watched her daughter sneak behind her husband.
"Sweetie." She said in a sweet yet demanding tone. The Doctor jumped a little, hitting his head on the back of the T.V.
"Ow- uh yes River?" He turned to see his wife standing over him.
Amy snickered a little.
"We've seemed to run out of milk." She stated.
"But we just went shopping-" he was cut off by her finger on his lips.
"Go get. Now." She smiled.
The Doctor tried to protest but realized there would be no tea today without milk. And the Doctor loves his tea and jammy dodgers.
"Alright then. I'm going." He sighed, fixing the last screw in place before patting the T.V and sliding his jacket on. Once they heard the door close and the Doctor leave, River pulled out a bottle of milk from one of the grocery bags and smirked.
"Tea, mother?"
Amy grinned. "Oh you are good."
"I try."
Rory had had a long day at the hospital. There was more of a rush today and he had many patients since it was flu season. He took a relaxed sigh as he walked out catching up with his fellow nurse friends.
Meanwhile the Doctor had gotten caught up in the grocery store. He walked towards the fridge section to pull out milk when his eyes darted towards the candy section.
"No candy. Just milk. Just here to buy milk." He said to himself, resisting the urge to just pick one up.
"May I help you, sir?" The woman at the counter spoke up. "Oh yes, sorry." The Doctor approached the woman and placed the milk on the counter. He whistled and looked around, feeling a sense of danger. But he shook it off.
"I'd watch out sir." The woman said. "There's a gun man on the loose. You shouldn't get out of the house if I were you. He aims at the more pretty ones."
"Pretty?" the Doctor raised his eyebrow. Was this woman trying to flirt with him or warn him? He purchased the milk and walked out of the store.
A man walked in after him carrying a gun. He pointed the gun at the woman's head as he stole the cash that was in the cash register. Stuffing it in his backpack and hiding his gun he quickly walked out of the store before he could be caught. He had to blend in, he thought.
The first thing he saw was a man wearing a tweed jacket and a bowtie. He immediately speed walked towards him and pretended he was walking with him.
"Um, hey."
The time lord didn't notice the man next to him as he was busy thinking and mumbling something to himself in gallifreyan.
"Um excuse me." The man said louder.
The Doctor snapped out of his thoughts and saw the man walking beside him.
"Oh sorry uh- Hullo." He said surprised, unsure why this random human decided to talk to him.
"I'm James." He shook his hand.
"The Doctor."
James have him an odd look at his name but continued.
"Listen, mate, could I have a ride home? I'm trying to avoid someone."
Police sirens could be heard in the background. "Well, some police." he mumbled but the doctor didn't hear him.
The Doctor looked at the man again unsure of what to say. He would give him a ride- but the only 'ride' he has is the TARDIS. And that again was parked at the Ponds house.
"I'd love to help you avoid whoever you're avoiding but I don't have a ride.. sorry."
The man looked at what the doctor was holding. "Yea you do. What's that in your hand?"
He looked down into his hand, he was holding the TARDIS key. Before the Doctor could reply, the sirens got louder and the man pulled out a gun. The Doctor backed away from him, scowling at the gun.
James pointed the gun to his forehead. "Take me. Now. Or I shoot you."
Rory was walking down the same road with his two mates, they saw the police cars nearing two people in the distance.
"Oh look. It's that man again." One of his mates said.
"Who?" Rory replied, not really interested.
"James Wood. He's a crazy gun man on the loose. He'll shoot anyone."
Rory nodded squinting his eyes to see the two men. The man with the gun shouted in anger as the police officer was about to arrest him.
"DAMN YOU!" he shouted at the other man before taking his gun out and shooting him carelessly.
The other man screamed out in pain, as he fell to the ground.
Rory and his friends broke into run at the sudden sight.
"BLOODY HELL!" Rory panicked.
"He must be badly hurt!" One of them said.
The two friends knelt down to check the man as Rory stood in shock. He seemed familiar, that mop of brown hair and tweed jacket gave it away.
"Doctor!" He knelt beside his best friend.
"Yea you're right Rory. We've got to take him to a doctor!" "Bloody hell.." Rory whispered to himself as tears got to his eyes. The Doctors vision was slowly blurring, but he could see Rory hovering above him. "Rory.. I've been shot." The Doctor clenched his arm tight where he had been shot. "I-i know, I'm here okay, I'm with you." Rory knelt beside him, comforting him as he moaned in pain.
The two friends looked at Rory. "He knows you! C'mon then help us carry him to the hospital."
Rory thought for a moment. "No." He said. His friends looked at him in disbelief. "What? Rory he's hurt!"
"I uh I mean, I'll take him home, he- uhh can't go to the hospital, he's uhh afraid of them. I can take care of him." Rory tried to explain. If they took the Doctor to the hospital, they'd find out his two hearts. What if they start experimenting on him? Who knows what they'd want with an alien body.
His friends looked very confused."Stop being silly Rory! Now hurry up!" But went on with lifting up the wounded alien. Not knowing that of course.
Rory sighed, knowing there was no way his mates would believe him.
He pretended to pick him up in the direction of the hospital, but once he was properly holding the Time Lord, one arm under his knees and the other under his neck/shoulders, he took of in the direction of home. Leaving his two mates completely confused.
It was now he realized that the alien was actually very light. 'need to get him to eat more' he thought to himself as his nurse instincts kicked in.
