A/N: Short chapter. Sorry. Getting REALLY close to wrapping things up.
"Doctor, you can't go!" Amy says, grabbing onto the railing as they fly through the vortex violently. "There has to be another way!" The Doctor looks at her.
"There isn't! My death is a fixed point, Amy. The only way to save River is to let me die," he tells her. She frowns and shakes her head.
"That isn't fair. My daughter or my best friend?" She asks, her eyes filling with tears. Rory walks over and wrap his arm around her. The Doctor nods.
"And we know who it has to be," the Doctor says. Amy breaks from Rory's hold and throws her arms around the Doctor. He stumbles back slightly before returning the embrace, rubbing her back soothingly. "It's going to be alright, Amelia. She'll be fine."
"Thank you," she says quietly. He pushes her back by her shoulders slightly.
"We're family. It's what we do," he says. She nods and stands up, kissing his forehead. They both look up as the TARDIS lands and Amy sighs, stepping away from him. The Doctor looks at Rory and holds his hand out. Rory looks at his hand then smiles and pulls the Doctor into a hug. The Doctor laughs lightly and pats Rory's back.
"Thanks," Rory says. The Doctor nods as they step away from each other and straightens his jacket out. John frowns.
"What about Rose?" He asks quietly. The Doctor looks over at him and nods.
"I should be here with her. Past me, that is. You two work together and don't give up. There's still a chance you can save her, John," he says. John nods slightly. The Doctor walks to the door and fixes his bowtie before walking out. Amy runs to the door and looks out. She puts her hand over her mouth as River comes out of the lake in the spacesuit. Amy steps right outside the TARDIS and Rory stands next to her, wrapping his arm around her waist. John comes out next to them and looks over as the second TARDIS lands right next to them. The door opens and the past Doctor steps out, his hands in his pockets.
"Ready?" He asks, looking back into his TARDIS. John looks over and raises an eyebrow. The Doctor nods and looks back to his future self. Amy looks over at as River points her gun at the Doctor. The first blast. Amy gasps and turns into Rory as she starts to cry. A moments silence. And the second blast. "Now!" The past Doctor says. Amy jumps and looks over as the Doctor runs out, followed by an older ginger woman.
"Rory, go get River," Amy says, pushing him slightly. Rory nods and runs over to them quickly. John steps forward slowly, his eyes widening. "Who is that?" Amy asks. John smiles widely.
"Donna," he says quietly.
