A/N: Hello, hello, hello! Only four more chapters after this one!
The Doctor closes his eyes as he slowly turns the dial on the console. Three hours. No. He stops and checks his watch. Four hours and they hadn't heard a thing. He sighs and runs his hands over his face before looking around. Amy had long since fallen asleep in the chair nearest the Doctor. Rory only recently dozed off as he was sitting on the floor beside Amy, his head resting against her knee. The Doctor smiles softly and looks over at John. Wide awake. He's standing leaned against the railing, his arms crossed. His eyes fixed on a distant point. The Doctor turns back to the console and begins the turn the dial again when John suddenly speaks.
"Today's our anniversary," he says quietly. The Doctor looks up at him but John doesn't tear his eyes from the faraway point. "Married two years today. Or supposed to be at least. If I hadn't been so stupid," he says before running his hands over his face, exasperated.
"Don't focus on the bad right now," the Doctor says, looking back at the console. Amy shifts slightly as she wakes up.
"Tell us you're story," she says, looking at John as she stretches. John looks at her and frowns.
"My story?" He asks. Amy nods and runs a hand through Rory's hair gently.
"Yours and Rose's," she amends. "After the whole...Doctor giving you to her because he couldn't be with her bit." The Doctor glances up at him as he slowly moves around the console. John smiles and moves to the other seat.
"He took us back to the other universe. She kissed me and he left. Took her a moment to soak it all in after that. Then she slapped me. Called me an imposter and refused to even speak to me for nearly six months," he says. The Doctor frowns and looks at him.
"She did?" He asks. John nods and smiles.
"How did you win her over?" Amy asks, smiling a little now.
"I showed up at her cat flap," he laughs. The Doctor smiles and can't help but let a small chuckle out. Amy looks between them but decides not to ask. "She finally agreed to dinner. We only dated two months. I proposed and we eloped before Jackie could find a caterer," he says. Amy laughs lightly.
"Sounds nice," she says. John sighs quietly and nods, his eyes returning to the far off point. Everything falls quiet for a moment. The only sound through the room is the gentle murmur of the TARDIS engines and the clicking of the Doctor turning the dial.
"Did you hear that?" John asks, looking at the Doctor. He looks up and shakes his head. "I swear I just heard a voice." Amy frowns and closes her eyes, listening intently. Another moment passes.
"There. I heard it again!" John says. Amy nods, looking at the Doctor.
"I heard it too," she says, shaking Rory gently. He sits up and rubs his eyes. "Listen," she tells him and he looks at her.
"Doctor..." A voice whispers. Rory's eyes widen and the Doctor looks up.
"River," he says quietly. "Haha! I've got you! We're coming!" He says as he starts to run around the console. Amy, Rory, and John all jump to their feet, talking at all once.
"Can you trace it?"
"Is it really her?"
"It could be a trap!"
The Doctor looks at them all and they fall silent. He pulls the monitor around and presses a button.
"Of course. It's so simple. Exactly where you want me," he says quietly. Amy moves right behind him and frowns.
"Lake Silencio," she reads.
A/N: I repeat! Only FOUR more chapters! Review while you can! :D
