Amy's POV:
"Hello, Ponds!" the Doctor said, stepping out of his TARDIS. He had landed in our living room, where Rory & I were settled in for an evening on TV. "You won't believe what they've discovered at Roswell!"
"Ok, but not until after the show is over." I said, grabbing another handful of popcorn out of the bowl.
"What are we watching?" the Doctor asked, sitting between us.
"Oceanside Academy." Rory said. "It's a stupid reality show about teens that go to a private school to study music."
"It's an awesome reality show." I corrected. "Tonight we get to find out Alyssa's big news!"
"Oh Ponds, sitting here with your primitive Earth entertainment." the Doctor said, before turning to Rory. "Hang on, if you don't like it, then why watch it?"
Rory shrugged & helped himself to some more popcorn. "Everybody at work watches it."
"Professor Cho? Do you have a moment?" Alyssa asks, standing hesitantly in the doorway.
"Of course, Alyssa. What can I help you with?"
"Since you're my faculty mentor, I just want you to be the first to know. I…I'm leaving Oceanside Academy."
Professor Cho looks stunned.
"Some agents from a record company saw my videos that I posted online & they offered me a record deal!"
"That's wonderful news! I'm so proud of you. Classical guitar music needs an artist like you."
"Actually…" Alyssa trails off, before finishing her sentence in a rush. "I haven't been posting classical guitar videos."
"…What?"
"My true love is…rock music."
"Have these last three years of classical guitar meant nothing to you?" Professor Cho asks after a long silence. "Get out! Get out of my classroom RIGHT NOW!"
Alyssa runs off. Professor Cho suddenly goes on a rampage, throwing papers off his desk & kicking over desks in pure rage.
"I totally did not see that coming!" I said as the credits rolled.
"Why not?" Rory asked. "Don't all these kids want record deals?"
"They…They can't just leave it like that, right in the middle!" the Doctor said, literally sitting on the edge of his seat.
"Of course they can!" I said. "That's how they make sure that you tune in next week."
"You lot have to wait a whole week just to find out what happens next?"
"Well, that is how TV works." Rory said.
"Wrong, Mr. Pond." the Doctor said. "That's how TV works…unless you happen to have a time machine." He snapped his fingers & the TARDIS doors popped open.
"First, we find out what happens to Alyssa. Then…well, you won't believe what they've discovered at Roswell!"
I think we all need a little laugh as we get ready for the holidays…by that, I mean panic & try to do everything in these next few days because time got away from me...again…
Please review!
