As the Doctor lay in bed that night he began to think why Rory exploded on him. Maybe he was right and he should leave Amy and Rory alone. The Doctor visited once a month and it was always Rory who answered the door and told him to leave. Except, this time the Doctor caught Amy peering through a window at the scene. He pretended not to notice her but he saw the pain in her eyes as he turned away, walking back to the TARDIS. "Why did Rory hide me from her for so long." he exclaimed to himself as he fell asleep. The TARDIS answered with a slight purr and the Doctor fell asleep.
When he woke up he decided he wasn't gonna lose Amy so easily. He ran towards the console room and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Amy standing in front of him. "Amy" he said, unable to make a complete sentence. "I knew you would return. Yet Rory told you to leave, didn't he? You know that I knew you would return." Amy confronted him. The Doctor looked perplexed. He certainly didn't take the TARDIS back to Amy and Rory's house. "Amy, you need to believe one thing. I didn't bring the TARDIS back. I don't know how I got back here. I told Rory I wouldn't come back so that I could protect you, okay?" Amy backed away from him, clearly not wanting to believe what he had told her. Amy ran back to the doors of the TARDIS. "No! I don't believe you, you wouldn't leave me." Amy swung open the doors and was about to leave when she noticed it wasn't Earth beneath her.
