"So am I the first?" Amy asked the Doctor as they strolled from the foyer, hand in hand, onto the sand. They had just left the hotel after paying and leaving a generous tip, not that money meant much to a man who could get all the financial riches he needed within a few seconds.

"The first what?" The Doctor asked as he struggled to turn off the wheel function on Amy's case, something that he had somehow wound up carrying.

"Girlfriend?" She explained, testing out the title.

"What?" The Doctor said, still struggling with the contraption. He eventually managed to get the wheels out of the way. "Sorry, right, girlfriend. Not exactly." He told her vaguely.

"What does that mean?" She asked, looking back to him with curiosity. "Have there been others?"

"Like I said, I had a family back before the war, I had a big family. But that was a long time ago." They walked in silence for a bit, both feeling the distinct sadness that came with the discussion. Amy, while still not aware of the link on a conscious level, knew quickly that she should move past that.

"What about since then?" She asked.

"Well..." The Doctor said, vague again, and Amy pinched him on the arm.

"You did, didn't you?" She asked, rubbing his arm where she pinched him after he squealed in pain.

"Maybe, one or two. Not many, definitely not many. Nothing serious, at all." He looked at her, trying to look innocent.

"Oh!" She said, mulling the idea over. "The Doctor with a girl on every planet... is that what you're like?"

"No." He said with a laugh. "If I was like that, we would have started this a long time ago." He poked her nose with his fingertip.

"True..." She mused as they reached the TARDIS doors. The Doctor opened the door with ease and threw the bag in, but didn't walk in. "When did you get the doors open?" Amy asked, peering in.

"Oh..." The Doctor began, unsure of what to say. "It was a time thing. She needed alone time."

Amy raised an eyebrow, instinctively knowing he was fibbing. "Doctor..."

He sighed. "She locked us out until we sorted ourselves out."

"Really?" Amy laughed. "She does that?"

"I believe the words 'I won't have children flying me' were used." He told her, shame faced.

"Good on her." Amy said, still chuckling. The Doctor could feel her good mood emanating, and allowed it in, smiling with her. "Why aren't we going inside?"

"I want to show you something first." He told her.

"Oh, what?" Amy asked, looking around and sweeping the hair out of her eyes.

"The sand."

"What about it?" She asked.

"Grab a handful, like you're making a snowball." He instructed, and she did so. She waited a couple of seconds before smiling.

"It's still moving," She said in awe. "It feels..."

"Alive." The Doctor told her, smiling. "The whole planet is alive."

"It's beautiful..." She whispered, her eyes sparkling as she looked up at the Doctor. He took hold of her hands and separated them, letting the sand trickle out, finding its own way from her hands and back onto the floor.

"Earth is alive too." He told her.

"The sand doesn't move." She told him with a scoff.

"And that doesn't make it any less brilliant." He told her softly as he squeezed her hands. "Humans are the most resilient, wonderful, absolutely fantastic species I've come across, and you, Amy Pond, are the best of them."

Amy said nothing in return, simply looking up at the most magnificent man she had ever known. After a few seconds, she leant up and pressed her lips to his, winding her arms round his neck; a kiss that started gentle but quickly became more feverish and passionate as they backed into the TARDIS and shut the door, leaving the sands of Space Florida behind.

Finit.

Again, not quite. Damnit, this story still aint done; there's a sequel, the first chapter of it is up on my profile. It's going to be a little different, I'm writing it exactly around the events of the series finalé. In some chapters of this fic, I did borrow from the show in terms of scenes and dialogue (in the first chapter especially), but the next one will be like that in every chapter... with a few major differences.

Love you all, thank you for reading and reviewing, I love each and every one of you. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
