"Hello Amelia." She sat in a small office where books lined the walls. The chair she was in was soft and friendly, but she still shifted uncomfortably in it. A strand of her hair fell in front of her face and she quickly brushed it back behind her ear. She knew he was looking at her, waiting for her to respond.
"Alright, well Amelia while we're together I'd like to get to know you a little better. We'll start with some questions. Let's start with an easy question, but don't worry there are no wrong answers. What is your name?"
She took a deep breath if she learned anything from the two past psychologists it was that silence only made the hour longer. "Amy Pond."
"How old are you Amelia?"
"Twelve."
"Do you know why you're here?"
"Because I'm crazy."
"Do you think that?"
"No."
"Why are you really here Amelia?" She rested her head against her hands as she took a deep breath.
"Because of the man in the blue box." The man behind the desk nodded and clicked his pen and started to write something down.
"Who is the man in the blue box?"
"An alien, who told me he would show me the stars."
"Where is he now?"
"Five years late."
"Late for what?"
"To take me away."
She sat next to Rory on the seat next to the consol. They had been so close. She had him. He had held her. It had been so amazing to have him back, so fantastic.
And now he was gone and all she had to show for it was a lonely man and a flirtatious captain.
"Where are we?" She said when the Tardis landed with an echoing thud.
"Torchwood year five billion and fifty, the largest database for the earth." Jack answered pushing the doors open to reveal an enormous cement and steel room. He walked out first followed by River and John.
"How do you know that they're on earth?" Rory said standing up grabbing her hand. The walked out of the Tardis and into the enormous room that was filled with nothing but computers.
"Thing about angels," John said walking over to the main monitor of the enormous computer system, "is that they always send you back to your home world for some reason. Since the Doctor can't be sent back to Gallifrey they probably sent them to earth."
John pulled out his glasses and put them on leaning over to see the screen clearer, because as a human he actually needed the glasses.
"Let's see if we can find them."
"So when we get to the airport we only have an hour to get to our next flight. So we'll eat first, buy you some more books, buy you a bag for all of your books, go to the bathroom, and then somehow make it to our flight to London." He nodded. Rose was becoming the girl he knew. Maybe she was become more comfortable or maybe she was becoming more hardened. He couldn't tell. Hopefully she was okay, but he still had the lingering feeling that she was still crying inside.
The airplane stopped taxiing on the runway and was connected to the airport so that the passengers could start to unload. "Don't forget your books Doctor. We'll have to do something with those." He picked up the stack that he read with Rose's book on top, shoving them into the plastic bag he had brought them on with. "Did you read my book?" She asked.
"Yeah I did a little cheesy for my taste but a good read. Sorry about that." She grabbed the book from him and hit him on the arm with it.
"That's just like you, not doing what you're told." She smiled her tongue barely sticking out from her teeth. "Let's go we have an awful lot of things to do in one hour." She grabbed his hand and led him off of the plane and into the busy airport.
They walked directly to a fast food place. "Chick-fil-a?" The Doctor asked as she ordered him a number one with a lemonade and the same for herself, no pickles. After getting it he stuffed his mouth happily. "Why do the chips look like waffles?"
"I don't know it's good though," she ate a bite of her chicken sandwich and grabbed his hand and pulled him into a book store. She took a backpack that they had on display and started to fill the bag with any book she could find. She took it to the counter and handed it to the clerk, who arched his eyebrows but rang all of the books and the bag through. She also took the plastic bag that the Doctor had been carrying and handed it to the clerk.
"He finished reading these if you want them." And with that they left.
"Oh wait!" She turned around and ran back into the electronic store next to the one they were just in. leaving him alone for several minutes. "Here you go." She handed him a small flat device.
"What is it?"
"It's a kindle. You put books on it; this one is already preloaded with a bunch." He flipped it over, then smelled it, and finally licked it.
"Not really the same is it?" She laughed. He was definitely the same man.
