Speaking of Silence

"He opened the crack on my bedroom wall." Amelia stated.

"He did a lot more than open one crack. Or rather, you did."

"I didn't do anything." Amelia defended.

"All those cracks. Everywhere. They aren't just eating away at your imagination; they're eating at reality itself!" He laughed.

"Why am I still here, then?"

"The eye of the storm. It's only a matter of time before the hungry cracks find you, Amelia."

The lights flickered, causing Amelia to look around.

"Tick, tock. Make a choice, Amelia Pond." The Dream Lord said moving the sonic screwdriver like a metronome, laughing.

"Is there something in the box?" Amelia asked quizzically, beginning to doubt if it really was just a hunk of stone.

"What do you believe is in the box?" he mocked.

Amelia stared at the Pandorica and gulped.

"Let's see how much faith your imagination has in you, now. Solve the cracks and save, well, basically everything as you know it. Fail, and well, I think you know where this is going." He laughed.

Amelia took a few steps toward the Pandorica, eyes darting back and forth between the stone box and the Dreamlord.

"How do I open it?" She asked, looking for a doorknob or something that indicated an opening.

"Silly child," he began with a sigh, "everyone knows the only way is sonic."

He waved the sonic screwdriver in the air. "But I don't see why I should give it to you."

"Because everyone will die." She pointed out, matter-of-factly.

He crossed his arms, "yes, but if I allow you to use the sonic screwdriver, you will probably only cause more mayhem."

"I didn't cause anything!" Amelia retorted.

"Where are your parents, Amelia? Your aunt? The rest of your family?"

Amelia had no idea what he was talking about. Her family had died a while ago. Didn't they?

The Dreamlord took her silence as his queue to continue. "They've all been erased from existence because of the cracks you created."

"I didn't create any cracks."

"All those psychiatrists you went to see? The nonbelievers cracking down your imagination. So you tried to retain everything. The Pandorica is your doing. Only you can open it. Mind you, if you can't keep a straight mind while you are opening it, it will affect whatever is inside." The Dreamlord chuckled maniacally.

While he was busy laughing at his brilliant idea, Amelia ran up to him and managed to nick the sonic screwdriver from his hand.

"Hey!" he called angered as he watched Amelia run over to the Pandorica.

She stood right in front of the Pandorica, aiming the device at it. It wasn't working. She glanced over to the Dreamlord, who was frozen in place, looking as if he were running towards her.

She searched the device looking for a button of some sort that powered the instrument. As she searched for a button, she thought of her imaginary friend, the Doctor.

She was absolutely positive that he was not imaginary and that he would come back, especially if she were in danger. Right?

The button suddenly appeared on the sonic screwdriver. She closed her eyes and pointed it at the Pandorica, pushing the button.

She muttered what could possibly be the last words of the universe as the Pandorica opened, a bright light pouring into the room.

"Doctor."


Amelia sat in the office of psychiatrist number two. This was the last place she had ever wanted to be. She only wanted to be somewhere else, but she couldn't remember for the life of her where.

"Now, Amelia," the psychiatrist spoke, "how are you today?"

"I'm fine." She answered blankly.

"Are you sure? You seem rather distant today, love." The psychiatrist asked.

As much as Amelia didn't want to be here, hearing the psychiatrist talk, she figured she might as well explain why she felt as she did.

"I can't really remember why I'm here." Amelia pointed out.

"What do you mean, Amelia? You come to see me once every two weeks—"

"No, it's not just that!" Amelia cut her off.

"Come again?"

"Did you ever feel like there is something very important that you should remember, but you can't?"

"We all have those days, Amelia."

"No, this is different. There's something or someone that I think I'm forgetting!" Amelia shouted.

"Like what, sweetheart?"

Amelia's eyes darted about the room looking for some sort of sign, something that would ring a bell in her head.

She noticed a blue pencil holder on the desk between the telephone and the psychiatrist's nameplate that read "Doctor Forbes."

"Doctor." Amelia mumbled.

"Yes, darling?" Dr. Forbes asked.

"No, my friend, I had a friend."

"Rory Williams, yes, we all met together before. He's a very nice boy."

"No, I had a friend. He traveled around in a blue box, I think."

"Amelia, we've been over this, he is not real. He's only imaginary, darling."

"But he's not! I've seen him! He destroyed the shed in my backyard and opened a crack in my wall!" Amelia shouted, everything starting to come back to her.

"Amelia, we've been to your room, there are no cracks, anywhere. Besides—"

The psychiatrist was cut off by the sudden sound of whirring, as a blue telephone box from the 1960's appeared in her office.

"What the—"

The door opened and a man with dark brown hair wearing a tweed suit and bowtie stepped out.

"Hello! I'm the Doctor! Amelia's imaginary friend!" He introduced himself enthusiastically.

"But—wha—how?" Dr. Forbes asked in disbelief.

Amelia ran over to the Doctor embracing him, "I knew you were real!"

"Yes, well, I'd like to say that I'm the stuff of legends; but that would be true and egotistical."

The Doctor clapped his hands together, "right, so, I am here to collect Amelia and cancel her future psychiatric evaluations, if that's all right with you, Doctor Forbes."

"But what about her Aunt?"

"Already taken care of."

"Then, I—I—suppose that it is all right. I might have to see a psychiatrist myself now."

"No," The Doctor replied. "You just need to get out and see the world Rebecca."

"How do you—"

The Doctor gestured to the TARDIS.

"I can't." she answered. "This is all just—too weird."

The Doctor shrugged, "suit yourself."

Amelia took the Doctor's hand as he turned to the TARDIS.

"It's time I kept my promise, Amelia Pond. That is, if you still want to come."

"I'd love to!" Amelia smiled.


Once inside the TARDIS, the Doctor began pushing random buttons. Suddenly, he looked up to see Amy in place of Amelia.

"So, what happened after I opened the Pandorica?" Amy asked confused.

"Time was reset, well, in simplest terms, it was reset. Time is all wibbly-wobbly." The Doctor explained, ignoring the sudden change.

"How did I get all—all—grow-up?" She asked looking at her hands and her different clothes.

"It was all a dream. Surprise!" He smiled.

"Doctor, how did this happen?"

"It's probably just some time—spell—thing wearing off. Don't worry, you'll get used to it."

Amy shot him a look. She wasn't buying it.

"Ok, I don't really know; but it might have something to do with The Silence. However, after briefly not existing, I would love to go off on a few side trips to, I dunno, how about the planet of Mebma?"

"Why? What's there?"

"Some of the most beautiful sights in the galaxy! They even have strawberries that taste like peaches!" he smirked as he pulled the lever.

Amelia made a face at the last statement. She was much of a fan of peaches.

"Geronimo!" he shouted as the TARDIS took off towards the destination the Doctor had programmed.


Finally! The final chapter has been revealed! Lol! I really hoped you liked it! ^^
