I am soooooo sorry about how long this took. Very overdue but I had some stuff I needed to sort out and I neglected this for a while. Je suis desole, really. But it's here now, and quite long so I hope it makes up for the wait.

Rose watched in awe as regeneration energy filled every inch of the TARDIS, causing it to burn and fling itself around within the time vortex. The Doctor shouted in pain, as every cell in his body changed and several coral struts came crashing down. She wished there was something she could do to help him, but the TARDIS had tried very hard to keep her safe, despite the pain she was going through as The Doctor caused everything inside of her to crash and burn.
When it was finally over, the TARDIS released Rose from the bubble, so she could use the last of her power to somewhat safely land them somewhere. Rose stood in shock slightly at the man standing before her in The Doctor's old pinstripes, which were now at least two sizes too big as he hobbled around the console.
"Legs!" he shouted, looking down and picking up his thighs in turn funny first words Rose thought as she clung onto the railing as the TARDIS flung itself about, "I've still got legs, good!"
Rose had to stop herself from giggling slightly considering they were in a possible life or death situation as they hurtled through the vortex. The Doctor quickly inspected the rest of his body, exclaiming "arms, hands, oooh fingers- lots of fingers! Ears eyes, eyes-two, nose, hmm I've had worse. Chin… blimey! Rose look at my chin oh god!"
He turned to Rose, who was staring at his hair, which was now a lot longer and much more floppy than her last doctor's sticky uppy chocolate locks. It was still brown though, but she wasn't going to be the one to tell him that. "What? What is it?" he asked desperately, before following her gaze to his head, his hands instantly flew there, stroking his hair which came down to just above his shoulders. "Hair… I'm a girl!" Rose had to laugh now, "no! No?!" He quickly moved his and to his neck, and felt his Adams apple "Oh thank god I'm not a girl!" he pulled a strand of hair in front of his eyes, "Oh great and still not bloody ginger!" Rose laughed at him again.
"There's something else though Rose, something I'm missing... something important… I'm- I'm crashing! " he quickly grabbed onto a leaver and pushed it down "Hold onto your hat Rose, this one is going to be bumpy!" he said before pulling down a leaver on the TARDIS console, and sending them flying through the vortex roughly, tumbling about before landing on their side with a big thump.
-DW-
A little girl in a spotted dress with red wellies slowly crept outside into her garden with a flashlight, looking intrigued, yet slightly worried at the strange blue box that had just landed in her garden. She approached it slowly, but with not a lot of fear- as she hoped that this was the person that Santa had sent, to look at the crack in her wall.
Suddenly the doors flung open, and she realised that the box must have been on its side, because lots of smoke came out of the opening. Out of the opening a rope with a grappling hook flew out, narrowly missing her, and hooked onto an old wheel that was lying on the floor. Amelia looked up confusedly as suddenly, a man appeared from the box.
"Can I have an apple?" he asked, dirt covering his face and his clothes in rags, "It's all I can think about, apples. I love apples. And Rose said that we can't get into the kitchen to get any because, well it blew up… but still apples. Maybe I'm having a craving- that's certainly new."
He slowly lifted himself on top of the box and threw down the grappling hook. Amelia heard a voice calling up and getting closer as someone else climbed up, 'Rose' she assumed.
"Are you and your friend erm, Rose okay?" Amelia finally asked, still a little confused at why Santa would sent this man of all people
"Yeah we're fine, but Rose had a bit of a fall, all the way into the library! Hell of a climb back up" he said. Suddenly Rose emerged from the box too, dripping wet.
"Oh, hello little girl!" she said as The Doctor helped her out
"You're soaking wet..."
"I was in the swimming pool," said Rose
"I though he said you fell into the library?" Amelia asked, raising one eyebrow
"There's a swimming pool in the library, it's very nice." The Doctor said.
Amelia just gave them both an odd look, before turning back to The Doctor. "Are you a policeman?" she asked.
"Why, did you call a policeman?"
"Did you come about the crack in my wall?"
"What cra-argh!" suddenly The Doctor fell down to the floor. Rose quickly rushed to his side and Amelia looked a bit alarmed.
"Are you alright?" Rose asked worriedly
"No I'm fine, it's okay this is all normal, you remember Christmas Rose." He said, and suddenly he coughed out the familiar gold regeneration dust
"Who are you?" Amelia asked
"I don't know yet, I'm still cooking does it scare you?"
"No it just, looks a bit weird."
"No I meant the crack in your wall does it scare you?"
Amelia paused for a moment, before saying reluctantly "Yes."
"Well then no time to lose," said Rose "I'm Rose, and he's The Doctor. Do everything he tells you, don't ask stupid questions, and always ignore him when he says don't wonder off, got it?"
Amelia nodded and then watched as The Doctor turned around and walked straight into a tree.
"Are you alright?" she asked
"Early days, steering's a bit off."
Amelia led them both into her house, and The Doctor and Rose wandered around a bit, before stopping in the kitchen.
"If you're a doctor, how comes your box says police?" Amelia asked
The Doctor just took a bite into the red apple Amelia had given him, and then promptly spat it out, receiving a smack on the arm from Rose.
"That is disgusting, what is that?" he asked
"It's an apple," Amelia said "You asked for an apple?"
"Why would I do that, apples are rubbish I hate apples. He shoved the apple into Rose's hand, who shrugged and took a bite.
"A minuet ago, you said you loved them."
"No, no, no, I love yogurt! Yogurts my favourite"
-DW-
The Doctor didn't react well to much of the food that Amelia gave him, and Rose kept having to remind him of his manners but gave up by the time that he told her beans were evil and just watched amusedly as he threw some bread and butter out of the door.
They ended up sitting down at her kitchen table, with The Doctor eating fish fingers and custard.
"That is disgusting," Rose said with a grimace, The Doctor just smiled and drank the custard from the bowl.
"You two are funny,"
"Are we?"
"Yeah."
"What's your name?"
"Amelia. Amelia Pond."
The Doctor smiled "whoa, that's a brilliant name. Amelia Pond, like a name in a fairy-tale. Are we in Scotland Amelia?"
"No we had to move to England, its rubbish."
"So, what about your mum and dad then, are they upstairs though we would've woken them up by now…"
"I don't have a mum and dad, just an aunt."
"Well, I don't even have an aunt. Just Rose, and she's pretty useless anyway." He teased
"Oh you can talk doctor." She said, rolling her eyes. Amelia snickered.
"You seem pretty lucky to have Rose, she takes good care of you." She said
The doctor smiled, "Yeah I am aren't I? So where's your aunt?"
"She's out."
Rose raised an eyebrow, "and she left you all alone? You're what eleven?"
"I'm not scared."
"Of course you're not," said The Doctor "You're not scared of anything! Box falls out of the sky, two strange people fall out of the box, man eats fish custard! And look at you, just sitting there. So you know what I think?"
"What?"
"Must be hell of a scary crack in your wall."
-DW-
The three of them were in Amelia's room, and The Doctor had a quick look around.
"Oh you've had some cowboys in here, well not actual cowboys but that could happen. Remember 1865 Rose?"
Rose chuckled fondly at the memory, "Yeah, you tried to go horseback riding, but I totally did better than you."
"Oi! My horse was evil!"
"Course he was doctor, course he was."
The Doctor just rolled his eyes, and turned his attention back to Amelia, who was leaning against the doorframe holding an apple. "I used to hate apples, but my mum used to put faces on them" she handed it to The Doctor, who smiled and took it from her, before shoving it in his pocket appreciatively.
"She sounds good your mum, I'll save it for later"
He turned around to the crack in the wall, and eyed it suspiciously. "This wall is solid and the crack doesn't go all the way through," he said as he scanned it with his sonic
"So where's the draft coming from?" said Rose, as she tried to hug herself to warm up a bit after her unexpected dip in the pool she was feeling a bit chilly.
"Exactly."
The Doctor had a look around the crack, and quickly explained that the crack was a split in the world, two parts of space and time that should never have touched. And then he heard the voice that Amy had been hearing coming through the crack for a long time, prisoner zero has escaped.
The only way to close the breach, would be to open it all the way so The Doctor, Rose and Amelia stood before it worriedly, as The Doctor opened it up with the sonic screwdriver, seeing through to the prison on the other side.
Suddenly a giant eyeball appeared and they all gasped.
"What's that?" Amelia asked worriedly. But then the gap closed and prisoner zero's 'guard' disappeared, leaving The Doctor a message on his psychic paper, prisoner zero has escaped.
"But doctor why would it tell us that?"
-DW-
The Doctor, Amelia and Rose ran down the stairs. The Doctor was muttering about prisoner zero, under his breath as the three of them stood in the hallway. "How could he have escaped here, we would no. oh Rose there's something here, something I'm missing… right in the corner of my eye.." he turned slightly and saw something none of them had noticed before, a door. But he was distracted by a chiming noise, "No! No!" he shouted before running down the stairs, dragging Rose and Amelia behind him.
"Rose we've got to get back in there, the engines are fazing! It's gonna burn!" he ran down to the TARDIS who was now smoking again.
"But it's just a box," said Amelia "How can a box have engines?"
"It's not just a box Amelia, it's a time machine" Rose said
"What a real one…? You've got a real time machine?"
"Yep," said The Doctor "well not for much longer if I can't get her stabilized. Five minuet hop into the future should do it!" he the the rope with the grappling hook back in and took Rose's hand.
"Can I come?" Amelia asked
"No, not yet, it's not safe. Five minutes give us five minutes we'll be right back!" he said
"People always say that." Ad Amelia
"Are we people? Do we even look like people? Trust me I'm The Doctor, five minutes."
"Just five minutes?"
"Well, ten at the most, this is a new body and I'm sure Rose will want to-"
"Doctor! Don't pollute her mind!" Rose said, cutting him off as they sat on top of the TARDIS preparing to jump in.
"Not what I was about to say Rose Tyler, get your mind out of the gutter! I was going to say I'm sure Rose would like to change perhaps."
Amelia snickered and Rose blushed. "See you in five minutes Amelia," Rose said, giving her a smile
And with that The Doctor and Rose jumped back into the TARDIS and it dematerialized, leaving Amelia pond standing there amazed. She ran upstairs and grabbed her suitcase, excited for the prospects of a new adventure and quickly filled it with some of her favourite clothes. She pulled on her coat and a hat, and sat outside in the garden, waiting for the doctor and Rose to get back.
-DW-
The TARDIS materialized in the garden, and The Doctor coughed as he and Rose ran outside. He quickly looked around, where was Amelia? He ran up to the door, trying to sonic it open with his slightly singed, failing sonic. "Amelia!" he called "we've worked it out, what I was missing, you need to get out of there!"
But The Doctor was surprised to know that it may have been a lot longer than five minutes for Amelia Pond. The police woman in front of him, had Rose and him handcuffed to the radiator, and was talking into her radio. "Yep, white male, mid-twenties, white female mid-twenties, send backup – breaking and entering"
"You hit us, with a cricket bat?" The Doctor asked shocked, as him and Rose gradually came too.
"You were breaking and entering."
"What are you doing here, where is Amelia?"
"Amelia pond?"
"Yep Scottish girl, where is she? We promised her five minutes but the engines we fazing, we probably went a bit far. Why, has something happened to her?"
"Amelia pond hasn't lived here in a long time."
"How long?" Rose asked
"6 months…" the policewoman said quickly
"No! I can't be 6 months late, I said 5 minutes I promised! What happened to her? What happened to Amelia pond."
The policewoman ignored him, and spoke into her radio, "Serge hurry up, these people say they know something about Amelia pond."
And that was just the beginning of the adventure.
-DW-
Prisoner Zero was there. Occupying planet earth and the atraxi were prepared to incinerate the 'human residence' if he didn't leave. The Doctor, the policewoman and Rose ran out the door, to avoid being 'incinerated'
"So you're a kissogram? Why did you pretend to be a police woman?" Rose asked
"You were breaking into my house, it was either this or a French maid! Now what is going on, tell me!"
"An alien convict is hiding in your spare room disguised as a dog and a man and some other aliens are about to incinerate your house, any questions?" The Doctor asked, running to the TARDIS
"Yes!" shouted the kissogram/French maid/ police woman
"Me too," said Rose rolling her eyes.
"No! TARDIS don't do this to me not now!" The Doctor shouted, banging on the doors
"What's wrong with her?" Rose asked
"She's still rebuilding, locked us out!"
"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated" the voice continued to boom.
The kissogram started to grab The Doctor and Rose to flee, but The Doctor quickly stopped still.
"Oh what now doctor?" Rose shouted
"That shed! Rose we destroyed that shed last time we were here! We smashed it to pieces!"
"Well it's probably a new one, let's go!"
"Yes but look the new one's got old! Its ten years old at least!"
The kissograms eyes widened and The Doctor licked the shed. Rose cringed "Look Rose its twelve years old, we're not six months late, its twelve years! Why did you say six months?" he turned back to the kissogram, who he still dint know the name of.
"We've got to go" she said
"But this is important, why did you say six months?!"
"Why did you say five minutes?!"She shouted in The Doctor's face. The Doctor and Rose both looked at each other, and then back to the girl with their eyes wide.
"What?"
"Come on." She said
"What?"
"Come on!"
They ran away from the house and into the village.
"You're Amelia, Amelia pond?" Rose asked shocked
"And your late." She said dismissively, as they briskly walked through the street
"You're the little girl?"
"And you're late!"
"But what happened to you?" The Doctor asked
"Twelve years." She replied coldly
"You hit us, with a cricket bat!"
"Twelve years"
"A cricket bat!"
"Twelve years, and four psychiatrists."
"Four?" Rose asked shocked
"I kept biting them."
"Why?" The Doctor asked, slightly amused
"They said you two weren't real."
Rose looked at her with empathy, they had left the poor girl for twelve years, and nobody believed her? That was pretty unfortunate.
They ran inside an old woman's house, claiming to be TV and… crime specialists. The little old lady got u out of her chair and smiled at Amy, "Oh hello Amy, you're a police woman now? I thought you were a nurse… and a nun?"
Rose bit back a laugh, clearly Amelia didn't go around shouting about her job to the old ladies.
"I dabble," she said awkwardly
"Well Amy, who are your friends?"
Amy was about to say something when The Doctor cut her off, "Amy? I thought you were Amelia?"
"Yea well, I'm Amy now."
"But Amelia pond was a great name"
"Bit fairy-tale."
-DW-
The apple in Amy's hand sent a surge of emotions into her, one part was joy because her raggedy doctor and his companion Rose had actually come back in to her life. Another emotion was relief because they had come back, and were definitely real and she was definitely not crazy, but then those emotions were being pressed down by anger. Why here? Why now? She thought. She had finally given up on them both, and she was finally ready to move on- to be happy with her best mate Rory and continue living in her giant house with too many rooms that she had only just noticed.
But then she looked into her hand and saw that apple, still as fresh as they day from her childhood where she had carved it with that shaky smiley face, and she decided. She believed him, and she believed Rose. It must of really been a dodgy time machine because it was way off for 'five minuets' but that didn't matter, because they had come back. After all this time.
Better late than never after all.
She smiled at the apple and looked up at her two supposedly imaginary friends that weren't imaginary at all and smiled. "What do we do?"
"Stop that nurse."
-DW-
"Man and a dog, why?" Rose asked, as she looked at the nurse's phone that The Doctor had swiped
"Oh my god, its them!" he said shocked
"Just answer the question please," Amy said impatiently
"It's them though! The Doctor, the raggedy doctor and Rose!"
"Yeah, they came back!"
"But he was a story? He was a game!"
The Doctor had run out of patients. He grabbed Rory by his silly nurses smock and asked one more time "Man and dog, why?! Tell me now!"
"Sorry it's just he can't be there because he's-"
"In a hospital, in a coma." The Doctor, Rose and Rory all finished. The Doctor and Rose exchanged anxious looks. Rose quickly explained that it was a multi-form, that could disguise its self as anything with a living but dormant mind. And then prisoner zero, in his man and dog form came snarling up to them.
The Doctor pointed his sonic to the sky, and the atraxi quickly picked up the signal, believing it was prisoner zero. But they got there a second too late, because just as the atraxi came prisoner zero dissolved down the drain and the atraxi went back to preparing to incinerate the planet.
Amy, Rory and Rose ran off to the hospital to get everyone out, and The Doctor headed to Jeff's to get his laptop, he was going to need help to save the world.
-DW-
"Something's happened up there we can't get through" said Rory
Amy had tried and failed to get through to The Doctor, "Yes but what's happened?" she asked
"I don't know, no-one does!"
"We can't get through oh great!"
"Amy," Rose said "Look in the mirror."
"What- OH!" Amy smirked. The three of them exchanged looks, and headed upstairs. The outfit was really starting to come in handy today. Rose took Amy's phone and called The Doctor, "Right doctor we're in, get here as soon as you can, you're going to need a car."
"Oh don't worry," The Doctor smirked "I've commandeered a vehicle" Rose raised an eyebrow, she could've sworn she had heard fire engine sirens in the background.
"Well doctor we're here, but so is prisoner zero!"
The three of them ran and quickly shoved a broom through the door so he couldn't get in. "Rose what's happening? Rose talk to me!"
"We're in the coma ward, but it's going to get in pretty soon doctor! Any news on that plan of yours yet?!"
"Which window are you at?"
"You wha-"
"Which window quick!"
"1ST floor on the left 4TH from the end! But why?"
"You'll see soon enough, I'll text you." And then he hung up. Prisoner zero burst in through the doors, in the form of the woman and the two children, baring its teeth, taunting Amelia about the magic doctor that wouldn't save her this time. And Amelia somewhat believed her, until Rose received a text, which she quickly showed to Rory and Amy. They nodded, and simultaneously all ducked, as the ladder came piercing through the window and The Doctor jumped out.
"Sorry am I late? No still got to minutes left, there's still time"
"Time for what, time lord?"
"Take the disguise off they'll find you in a heartbeat. Nobody dies"
"The atraxi will kill me this time, if I have to die- let there be fire"
The Doctor just laughed "you came to this world by opening a crack in space and time, do it again, just leave"
"I did not open the crack"
"Then who did?"
"The cracks in the skin of the universe, don't you know where they came from?" The Doctor looked blank, and the creature smirked "You don't do you? The doctor in the TARDIS doesn't know, doesn't know doesn't know, the universe is cracked, the Pandorica will open, silence will fall."
But before The Doctor could retort the clock behind them fell to 00:00, "And we're off"
The prisoner looked around, and then back again with no emotion registering on its faces. "Yeah I know it's just a clock whatever, but do you know what's happening now? In one little bedroom my team are working, Jeff and the world. And do you know what they're doing? Their spreading the word all over the world quantum fast. The word is out, and do you know what the word it? The word is zero. Now me if I was up in the sky, in a battle ship monitoring all earths' communications I'd probably take that as a hint. And if I had a whole battle fleet out there id be able to track one small computer virus to its source in what, under a minuet? And the source by the way, is right here."
Rose and Amy and Rory smiled, as The Doctor smirked. And explained the images on the phone with all the pictures of prisoner zeros many forms. He finished his victory speech with a triumphant cry of "Who da man?" but then saw the questioning looks from Rose and decided he was definitely never saying that again.
-DW-
Amy was collapsed on the floor and the atraxi had the form of The Doctor, staring back at them. "Well that's rubbish that's that supposed to be?" said The Doctor
"Doctor that's you," said Rory
"Is that what I look like? Weird."
Rose watched as the prisoner tried to taunt The Doctor with its cruel words as it too the form of him, and Amelia pond as a child, and The Doctor was close to snapping, and giving up. She sighed and looked at Amy, before touching her face. "Amy, listen to me, remember that room in your house, the room you couldn't see and you went inside? Even though The Doctor told you not to you wandered off just like I told you when you were twelve. You went in the room Amy, you went inside, dream about what you saw Amy!"
The Doctor and Rory watched as prisoner zero transformed back to its original form, and Amy slowly woke up.
"Well don't prisoner zero, the perfect impersonation, of yourself." Rose said.
"Prisoner zero has been located." A transmat light beamed down over prisoner zero "Prisoner zero has been restrained"
They all sighed in relief, but then then as prisoner zero was taken back up it had one final thing to say. "Silence doctor, silence will fall." Rose shuddered. It was the same thing that the TARDIS had told her, the same thing that Donna had said, but what did it mean. Rose didn't know, she exchanged a worried look with The Doctor, but he didn't know either.
Then the atraxi were gone, and The Doctor sent a message on Rory's phone.
"Amy are you okay are you with us? The Doctor and Rose did it"
"No I didn't"
"What are you doing?"
"He's tracking the signal back, sorry in advance." Rose said
"For what?"
"For the bill."
"Ah hello, I didn't say you could leave! Article 57 of the shadow proclamation, this is a fully established level five planet, and you were gonna burn it? What? Did you think no one was watching, you lot back here now! Now I've done it"
"What?" exclaimed Rory "Did he just bring them back?"
The Doctor ignored Rory's cries and walked off down the corridor.
"Where are you going?" Amy shouted
"The roof! Wait no," he walked into the patient locker room.
"What's in here?" Amy asked
"I'm saving the world, I need a decent shirt!" he exclaimed, Rose laughed and quickly helped him pick up a different shirt, that would probably fit him a lot better than the one he was holding.
"To hell with the raggedy, time to put on a show"
"You just summoned the aliens back to earth! Deadly aliens… aliens of… death, and now you're- taking your clothes off, Amy he's taking his clothes off!"
"Turn your back if it embarrasses you," The Doctor said as he started pulling on trousers and zipping them up. Rory began to turn but continued shouting "Those clothes belong to people you know, are you stealing clothes now? Those clothes belong to people you know! Are you two not going to turn your back?"
Amy and Rose both just looked at each other and smiled. "Nope," they said in unison.
-DW-
The Doctor walked out onto the roof, and definitely gave the atraxi a god telling off. "Basically, run" was all he needed to have them flee, and he just stood there with his floppy hair, in a tweed jacket and too-short trousers and a bowtie, and Rose laughed. She ran to him and gave him a hug and he hugged her back tightly, the both of them smiling. Then The Doctor looked into his hands, the TARDIS key was burning. Rose noticed it too. She was ready.
They ran back to Amy's and ran up to the TARDIS. "Okay, what have you got for us this time." He opened up the doors. "Look at you oh you sexy thing, look at you!" he said as he and Rose ran inside and dematerialized. Leaving a very confused, older Amelia pond standing there in wonder.
-DW-
The TARDIS materialized back in the garden, and Amy came running out of her house.
"Sorry about running off earlier, new TARDIS very exciting, a quick hop to the moon and back to get her warmed up, she's ready for the big stuff now!"
"It's you, you came back?!" Amy said
"Course we came back, we always come back, something wrong with that"
"You kept the clothes?"
"Well I did just save the whole planet, again for the billionth time no charge shoot me I kept the clothes!"
"Including the bowtie," Rose added with a laugh, as she tweaked it
"Oi watch it, it's cool. Bowties are cool."
"Are you two from another planet?" Amy asked
"I am yeah, got a problem?"
"No."
"So," Rose said "Other planets, wanna check some out?"
"What does that mean?"
"Come with us"
"Where?"
"Everywhere. Wherever you like"
"All that stuff that happened, that spaceship those things, prisoner zero-"
"Oh yes, plenty more where that came from."
"But those things, amazing things, all that stuff. That was two years ago!"
"Oh. So that's-" The Doctor said but was cut off by Amy shouting
"Fourteen years!"
"Fourteen years since fish custard, well Amy pond, the girl who waited- you've waited long enough." Rose said
"When I was a kid you said there was a swimming pool, in a library"
"Still is, somewhere, I'm sure it it'll turn up. So you coming?" Rose asked
"No…"
"You wanted to fourteen years ago," The Doctor pressed
"I grew up"
"Don't worry, i'll soon fix that" and then The Doctor clicked his fingers and the TARDIS doors opened. And Amy laughed. She stepped inside the TARDIS with wonder, and marvelled at the beautiful décor surrounding it. Rose and The Doctor hung back and looked at her smiling, before running up the console.
"I'm in my nighty!" Amy said
"Oh don't worry, there's a wardrobe, it's got loads of clothes I love it!" Rose said "Possibly a swimming pool in there too!"
Amy smiled.
"So all of space and time, everything that ever happened or ever will, where do you want to start?" The Doctor asked.
"You are so sure that I'm coming?"
"Yeah I am."
"Why?"
"Because you're the Scottish girl in the English village, we know how that feels and you've lived there for nearly all your life." The Doctor said
"So what?"
"Amy, you've still got that accent!" Rose said "Of course your coming."
"Can you get me back for tomorrow morning?"
"Amy it's a time machine I can get you back for five minutes ago, why what's tomorrow?"
"Oh nothing, just stuff."
"Alright then, back in time for stuff." And then a sonic screwdriver popped up out of the console. "Oh a new one, thanks dear" he said.
"Why me?"
"Why not?"
"People always have a reason"
"Do we look like people?" Rose asked
Amy smiled. "I can't believe it's all true, I was starting to think that you were just a madman with a box and a girlfriend"
"Amy pond there is one thing you've got to understand about me because your life could depend on it one day, I am definitely a mad man in a box, with a girlfriend."
And then the TARDIS flew off and Amy laughed, trying not to think about the wedding dress hanging in her bedroom that she had left behind.
