They walked back to the Tardis and Amy tried to comfort a crying Lili. "The Tardis is working again so we can get you home. Don't worry, ok?"
Lili meekly shook her head. "They said I was ugly" She whispered.
"Who, those guys? Did they look in the mirror this morning?." Amy smiled.
"Are you alright?" Clara knelt down to check Lili.
"She's fine" Amy assured her. "Let's get back to neverland."
Amy flew the Tardis back to Lili's home. "It'll be like you never left." She whispered as she took Lili's hand and walked her out of the door. Lili jumped and surprised Amy with a big hug. "Right, well... thanks I..." Amy finally gave in and hugged back.
"Someone's gone soft." Clara smiled as they walked back into the Tardis.
"Yeah, yeah" Amy nudged her playfully. "Hey!" She quickly jumped back to the console. "I know this sounds crazy but what do you think about going back to that pub to figure out what it was about that place and time that drew the Tardis off it's course."
"You want us to drive back to the scene of a shootout? Have you got a deathwish?" Clara rolled her eyes. "Although... I am interested in finding out why the Tardis ended up there."
"Yes! We are time detectives, on the case! Solving mysteries through time and space!" Amy flipped the switches and flew them back to their previous location. "Ok, looking at the monitor here it's New York... mid 1920's.." She slapped the console's monitor. "Something's interfering with the equipment. I can hardly read this thing."
"I'm really thinking maybe another time machine is nearby." Clara was growing more and more excited by the idea of mystery solving. "I mean, who says this time machine is the only one in existence, right?"
"So that's causing interference?" Amy asked as they walked out of the Tardis and into the dark ransacked saloon.
"Like when you touch two microphones together too close to a speaker. Some sort of time disturbance. It's just a theory." Clara shrugged as she tried walking over the broken glasses on the ground.
"Listen to you, clever girl." Amy winked. "Already sounding like a seasoned Time Detective on your very first case." She wrapped her arms around Clara's shoulders.
"Stop it." Clara whispered and blushed even though there was no one at the bar to catch them. She got swept into a kiss by Amy, who was slowly walking her up against the bar. Clara nearly tripped over a bar stool. "Amy! You're losing focus. I thought we were trying to solve a case."
"You're so right" Amy sighed. "Well, let's figure this out quick then so we can pick up where we left off."
"Do you hear that?" Clara pointed out a faint beeping in the distance. "Sounds a bit too futuristic to be from this era. I think we've found the time disturbance."
They followed the sound to an alleyway. It was dark, cold and wet so the girls held hands and stuck together. They jumped at shadows and laughed nervously when they realized it was nothing. "Aww, it's just a little kitty." Amy noticed a black cat with bright yellow eyes meowing underneath some discarded boxes. "What have you got here, buddy." She picked up the cat and took the beeping thing from it's box. "It looks like a watch but it's like a future watch."
"Looks like a Dick Tracy watch." Clara examined it. "This has to be the future tech that confused the time machine."
The cat jumped out of Amy's hands and they ran after it to discover a body lying at the end of the alley, it wasn't moving. "Oh god!" Amy took a step back. "Is he dead?" Just as she asked, the man took a deep breath and sprang back up.
The girls both screamed and almost turned to run before the man spoke. "Whoa! Wait, it's ok. Name's Jack, I won't hurt you or anything." He smiled. "I think you have something of mine." He pointed to the device they'd found on the cat.
"Um, can we ask what it is?" Clara was hesitant to give it back right away. She feared he'd take it and run without an explanation.
"Yes.. well... it's a very complicated story.." Jack chuckled.
"So you take me for a fool, is that it?" Clara put her hands on her hips rather defiantely. Amy looked on at Clara's tough girl act with a proud little smile on her face.
Jack also started to smile but the charm he exuded almost made Clara lose her cool confident demeanour. "I'm sure you're anything but a fool, Ms..."
"Oswald." Clara crossed her arms instead of taking his hand when he introduced himself. "I know you're a time traveler so cut right to the chase and tell me where your time machine is. It's disturbing our signals or something."
"What signals? Wait... you have a time machine too don't you?" Jack smiled. "Ok... I'd say... early 21st century, am I right or am I right?"
"How is he right?" Amy looked surprised since she herself had changed into 1920's clothing. "I thought I was pulling off this dress rather well."
"Oh, no you certainly are, beautiful." Jack walked up to Amy and took her hand in his. "I didn't mean it like that. And my time machine is that vortex manipulator." He pointed to the device Clara was still holding. "But that can't be what's disturbing your instruments, that thing hasn't worked since..." Jack was silenced by the sudden blinking of the vortex manipulator. "Is it just the two of you, you aren't traveling with anyone else?" He asked excitedly.
"Are you expecting other time travelers?" Clara slowly handed the device back to Jack.
"I might be looking for an old friend, yeah." Jack put the machine around his wrist. "Calls himself The Doctor, have you heard of him?"
"Doctor Who?" Amy shrugged.
"Ugh, he would have loved that." Jack sighed.
