Later, the Oval Office was strewn with large street maps and everyone was looking at one.

"Why Florida?" Canton asked the Doctor, who had his tweed jacket off.

"That's where NASA is. She mentioned a spaceman. NASA's where the spacemen live," the Doctor explained, "Also... there's another lead I'm following."

"Spaceman? Like the one we saw at the lake," Amy whispered to Jack and River.

"Maybe. Probably," River told her.

"Possibly," Jack muttered.

"What are you three on about?" Rose asked them.

"Nothing," they lied, not wanting to tell the Time Lady that they saw her and the Doctor die.

'They are definitely keeping something from us, Theta,' Rose told her husband through their bond.

'Why do you say that, Arkytior?' He asked her.

'I asked Amy, Jack and River what they were talking about and they said nothing in a tone that sounded like they were lying,' she explained.

'Then they possibly know who sent those messages to us, but let's keep it to ourselves,' he told her.

'Will do, Theta.'

Amy then looked through the open doorway and saw the same creature she saw at the lake and saw that it was a grey skinned humanoid alien with no hair or mouth and big eyes and was wearing a black suit and tie as she had a flashback to that moment.

"I remember!" Amy whispered to herself.

Rory then inserted himself between Amy and her view of the alien, breaking her contact with it, "Amy? What do you remember?" He then moved as she saw that the creature was gone.

"I don't know, I just…" Amy said as she held a hand to her stomach.

"Amy, what's wrong?" Rory asked her.

"Amy?" River, Jack and Jenny asked at the same time.

"Amelia?" Rose asked.

"You all right?" The Doctor asked her.

"Yeah, no, I'm fine, I'm just...feeling a little sick," Amy said as she headed for the door, "Excuse me, is there a toilet, or something?"

"Sorry, ma'am, during this procedure, you must remain within the Oval Office," Peterson told her.

"Shut up and take her to the restroom," Canton told him as Peterson nodded to a Caucasian skinned agent with black hair.

"This way, ma'am," the other agent said as he led her out of the Oval office.

"Thanks," Amy told him and Rory went to follow, but Peterson put a hand on his chest.

"Your five minutes are up," Canton told the Doctor.

"Yeah, and where's my fez?" The Doctor asked him.


The agent led Amy through the hall to the toilet and tried to follow her inside.

"Actually, I can usually manage this alone," Amy told the agent before she entered the restroom.


As Amy stepped inside the restroom she gasped when she sees the creature standing there, "I saw you before. At the lake...and here. But then I forgot. How did I forget? What are you?"

She then heard a toilet flush as a middle aged woman steps out of one of the stalls and heads for the sink.

"Get back! Stay back from it!" Amy told the woman.

The woman turned around and screamed as soon as she saw the creature but then laughed,

"Oh, my God, what is that, is that a mask? Is that a Star Trek thing? Ben, is that you?"

"Get back from it, now!" Amy ordered the woman.

The woman then turned around and looked at Amy, "Back from what, honey?"

"That!" Amy answered, referring to the creature.

"Oh, my God, look at that," the woman said as she looked back at the creature, "Is that a Star Trek mask? Ben, that's gotta be you. Hang on, did I just say all that?"

"No, please, you've got to stay back!" Amy pleaded with the woman.

"Back, honey? Back from what?" The woman asked as she turned back to Amy as the lights began to flicker, "Oh, those lights. They never fix them."

"Look behind you!" Amy told her.

"Honey, there is nothing…" The woman said as the creature reached out to her with its arm and its mouth was now open. The woman looks at the creature again as it shoots electricity from it's fingers as the woman screamed as she was disintegrated by the electricity.

"You didn't have to kill her, she couldn't even remember you! How does that work? We can only remember you, while we're seeing you, is that it?" Amy asked as she took out her phone and took a photo of the creature with it as the creature closed it's mouth, "Why did you have to kill her?"

"Joy. Her name was Joy. Your name is Amelia. You will tell the Doctor and Rose," the creature said in a deep masculine voice as it began advancing towards her.

"Tell them what?" Amy asked.

"What they must know. And what they must never know," the creature answered.

"How do you know about that?" Amy asked the creature.

"Tell them," the creature ordered as she rushed out of the bathroom.


As Amy left the restroom, the agent noticed her distress, "Are you OK?"

"I'm...I'm fine. Much better, thanks," she answered.

"What's that?" The agent asked as he saw her phone.

"It's my phone," Amy answered.

"Your phone?" He asked with confusion.

"I have to tell the Doctor and Rose," Amy told him.

"Tell them what, ma'am?" He asked her.

"Sorry. I don't know why I said that," Amy said as she forgot that she saw the creature.

"This way, ma'am," the agent said as he led her back to the Oval Office.


Back inside the Oval Office, the phone on Nixon's desk rang.

"The kid?" Canton asked.

"Should I answer it?" Nixon asked the Doctor.

"Here!" The Doctor said, pointing at the map, "The only place in the United States that call could be coming from. See? Obvious when you think about it."

"You, sir, are a genius," Canton said, peering at the map as Amy and the agent returned.

"He's been called that before," Rose told him.

"It's a hobby," the Doctor said at the same time.

"Mr President, answer the phone," Canton ordered the President.

"Hello. This is President Nixon," Nixon said as he picked up the phone and started recording the phone call.

"It's here! The Spaceman's here. It's gonna get me. It's gonna eat me!" The child said, causing Amy, Rory, Jenny and Jack to glare at one another.

The Doctor grabbed his tweed jacket and backed towards the TARDIS with Rose,Amy, Rory, River, Jenny and Jack entering first.

"There's no time for a SWAT team, let's go! Mr President, tell her help's on the way. Canton, on no account follow me into this box and close the door behind you," the Doctor told Nixon as he entered the TARDIS.

"What the hell are you doing?" Canton asked as he followed them into the TARDIS as it dematerialized.

"Mr President, please help! Please help me!" The Child pleaded on the phone.

"Jefferson, it's all right. I'm sending my best people," Nixon reassured the child.


Canton stood by the door looking around in stunned amazement.

"Jefferson isn't a girl's name, or her name either," the Doctor told them, "Jefferson Adams Hamilton... Rose?"

"Those were the surnames of three of America's founding fathers," Rose answered, "Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Alexander Hamilton."

"Lovely fellas, two of them fancied me," he told her.

"Are you OK? Coping?" Rory asked as Canton turned around with his mouth open.

"The President asked the child two questions," the Doctor told them, "Where and who are you? She was answering where."

"It's bigger on the inside," Canton realized.

"You get used to it," Rory reassured him.

"Now where would you find three big historical names in a row like that?" The Doctor asked.

"Where?" Amy, Jack and Jenny asked at the same time.

"Here!" The Doctor said as he flipped down one of the TARDIS's levers, "Come on!" The Doctor ran for the door with Rose, Jack, Jenny, Amy and River following.

"It's er…" Canton said as he stopped the Doctor.

"Are you taking care of this?" The Doctor asked Rory as he, Rose, Jenny, Jack and River exited the TARDIS.

"Why's it always my turn?" Rory asked.

"'Cause besides Jenny, you're the newest," Amy said, as she kissed him before following the others out of the TARDIS as Rory placed a hand on Canton.


The warehouse was dirty and cluttered as the Doctor sat at a desk, waving around a small American flag with Rose standing next to him.

"Where are we?" Amy asked.

"About five miles from Cape Kennedy Space Centre," Rose answered.

"It's 1969, the year of the Moon. Interesting, don't you think?" The Doctor asked as Jack took out his flashlight and turned it on as River used her hand-held device to scan the area.

"Why would a girl be here?" Amy asked.

"I don't know. Lost, maybe," the Doctor surmised.

"Possibly," Rose said, agreeing with him.

"Definitely, Mum and Dad," Jenny said, agreeing with her parents as River picked up a phone.

"The President asked where she was and she did what any lost little girl would do," the Doctor said as he stood up and looked out the window's blinds, "She looked out the window."

Right outside the window were street signs saying Jefferson street, Hamilton avenue and Adams street.

"Streets. Of course, street names!" Amy told them.

"I thought that was obvious," Rose muttered.

"I did as well," Jack said, agreeing with them.

"Me too," Jenny said, agreeing with them as well.

"The only place in Florida, probably all of America, with those three street names on the same junction," the Doctor surmised.

The Doctor checked the phone receiver just as Canton and Rory exited the TARDIS.

"We've moved. How, how can we have moved?" Canton asked with confusion and disbelief.

"You haven't even got to space travel yet?" The Doctor told him.

"I was going to cover it with time travel," Rory told the Time Lord as he closed the door.

"Time travel?" Canton asked with disbelief.

"Braveheart, Canton. Come on!" The Doctor said as he, Rose, Amy, Jack, Jenny and River headed off to explore.

"So we're in a box, that's bigger on the inside and it travels through time and space?" Canton surmised.

"Basically," Rory confirmed.

"How long have Scotland Yard had this?" Canton asked Rory as they followed the others.

"It's a warehouse of some kind. Disused," River noted.

"You realise this is almost certainly a trap, of course," the Doctor told them.

"I suspected as much, Doctor," Rose said, agreeing with him.

"Me too," Jack said, agreeing with both Time Lords.

"I noticed the phone, yes," River told them.

"What about it?" Amy asked.

"It was cut off," Jack answered, "So how did the child phone from here?"

"OK. But why would anyone want to trap us?" Amy asked them.

"Don't know," the Doctor answered, "Let's see if anyone tries to kill us, and work backwards."

Unbeknownst to them, in the shadows, there was an astronaut watching them.

"Now why would a little girl be here?" Jack asked.

"I don't know, let's find her and ask her," the Doctor answered as they found a tilted operating table that seemed to have organic components attached.

"It's non-terrestrial, definitely alien, probably not even from this time zone," River told them.

"Which is odd, because... look at this!" The Doctor said as he saw boxes of items that pique his interest.

"It's Earth tech, contemporary," Jack told them.

"Very contemporary," Rose added, "Cutting edge. This is from the space programme!"

"Stolen? What, by aliens?" Amy asked.

"Most likely," Jenny muttered.

"Apparently," the Doctor said as he put on the helmet, causing Rose, Amy and Jenny to look at each other before giggling.

"Why? If you can make it to Earth, why steal technology that can barely make it to the moon?" Amy asked as she, Rose and Jenny stopped giggling.

"Maybe 'cause it's cooler," the Doctor said with his voice muffled before he lifted the helmet's visor so he can speak properly, "Look how cool this stuff is!"

"Cool aliens?" Amy scoffed.

"Well, what would you call me and Rose?" He asked her.

"Aliens," Amy answered.

"Oi!" The Doctor and Rose both yelled at the same time, offended at what she said as the Doctor removed the helmet.

"I, er, I think he's OK now," Rory said as he and Canton joined them.

"Ah, back with us, Canton?" The Doctor asked Canton.

"Like your wheels," Canton told him.

"That's my boy! So come on - little girl, let's find her," the Doctor said as he and Rose went to look for the little girl as Jack, River and Jenny examined the table with River lifting up a cable that drips something slimy when she holds it up as Amy approached them.

"River… Jack… Jenny…" Amy said to them.

"I know what you're thinking," River told her.

"No, you don't," Amy told her.

"You're thinking if we can find the Spaceman in 1969, and neutralise it, then it won't be around in 2011 to kill the Doctor and Rose," Jack told her, "The three of us knew what you were thinking."

"OK, lucky guess," Amy told them.

"That's only because we were thinking it too," River told her.

"So let's do it," Jenny told her.

"It doesn't work like that. We came here because of what we saw in the future. If we try and prevent the future from happening, we create a paradox," River explained before turning to Jenny and Jack, "You both should know about paradoxes. Jenny, you were created by a paradox. And Jack, you were turned immortal by a paradox as Bad Wolf was a looped ontological paradox."

"Time can be rewritten," Amy said as Jenny and Jack both looked down in defeat as without those paradoxes they wouldn't be alive today.

"Not all of it," River told her.

"Says who?" Amy asked.

"Who do you think?" River countered as using the light, she followed one of the cables to a manhole cover, "What's this?"

"We can still save them," Amy told them.

"Doc! Look at this," Jack said as he followed River and pushed the cover aside.

"So where does that go?" Rose asked.

"There's a network of tunnels running under here," River answered as she scanned the tunnel with her handheld device.

"Life signs?" The Doctor asked.

"No, nothing that's showing up," she answered.

"Those are the worst kind," Jack told her, "Be careful."

"Careful, Sweetie? Tried that once, ever so dull," River said as she entered the manhole.

"Shout if you get in trouble," Jack told her.

"Don't worry, I'm quite the screamer. Now there's a spoiler for you!" River said as she began climbing down the tunnel.

"So what's going on here?" Canton asked.

"What are you referring to?" The Doctor asked.

"I think he's talking about the possible alien incursion," Rory explained as he leaned over.

"We're not sure, Rory," Rose answered.

"OK," the Doctor said as he clapped Rory and Canton on their shoulders.


Inside one of the underground tunnels, River reached the bottom of the ladder and used the flashlight to follow the cable as the light woke the sleeping aliens.


"So... I was in a bar having a drink. Tell me honestly, am I still there?" Canton asked Amy as they were examining some of the equipment.

"'Fraid not," she answered.

River then climbed back up in a hurry, panting before calming down as if nothing was wrong, "All clear. Just tunnels, nothing down there I can see. Er, give me five minutes, I want to take another look 'round."

"Stupidly dangerous," the Doctor warned her.

"Yep, I like it too," River said, agreeing with him before speaking softly to Amy, "Amy, look after Jack for me," she then went back down.

"Rory, would you mind going with her?" The Doctor asked her.

"Yeah, a bit," Rory answered.

"Then I appreciate it all the more," the Doctor said as he patted him on the back.

"Hang on, River, I'm coming too," Rory called out to River, unenthusiastically.


Rory climbed down and saw River leaning over, breathing heavily.

"You OK?" He asked her.

"Ah yes, yes. I just felt a bit sick. It's the prison food probably," River said before she took a few deep breaths, "This way, what do you think?"

As Rory nervously followed River, one of the aliens slowly walked past them in the shadows.

"I keep thinking I hear things," Rory told her.

"Interesting! These tunnels are old," River told him, "Really old. How can they be really old and nobody notice them?"

"It's a maintenance hatch," Rory said as River's light touches a door.

"It's locked," River said as she tried to open the door and she kneeled down towards it, "Why do people always lock things?"

"What's through there?" Rory asked her.

"No idea," she answered.

"Something bad?" He asked her.

"Almost definitely," she answered.

"You're going to open it, aren't you?" Rory asked her.

"It's locked," she told him, "How's a girl supposed to resist?"

"Is this sensible?" He asked her.

"God, I hope not," River said as she set to opening the lock.

"You and Jack...I can kind of picture it," Rory told her.

"Keep a look out," she told him.

"What did you mean?" He asked her, "What you said to Amy. There's a worse day coming for you."

"When I first met the Doctor and Rose, a long, long time ago... they knew all about me. Think about that. Impressionable young person, and suddenly this man just drops out of the sky with his wife, they're clever and mad and wonderful and they know every last thing about her. Imagine what that does to someone," River explained.

"I don't really have to," Rory muttered, softly.

"Trouble is, it's all back to front. My past is their future. We're travelling in opposite directions. Every time we meet, I know them more, they know me less. I live for the days when I see them. But I know that every time I do, they'll be one step further away. And the day's coming, when I'll look into their eyes... the Doctor and Rose... and they won't have the faintest idea who I am," River added as the lock whirred as it was unlocked, "And I think it's going to kill me." She then stood up as she opened the door.

As they walked through the door, they saw that the room looked like the interior of the 'second floor' of the flat that the Doctor shared with Craig when he was stuck outside the TARDIS while it was stuck inside the Time Vortex.

"What is this place?" Rory asked.

As River stepped closer to the centre of the room, the alarm went off, "That's an alarm. Check if anything's coming."

Rory nodded and looked outside the room and saw the alien creatures walk menacingly towards him, he pulled his head back in to warn River, only to forget that he ever saw the aliens and forgot that they even existed, "There's nothing out there."

River then used her scanner on one of the control panels before placing her hand on it for a split second, "These tunnels, they're not just here, they're everywhere. They're running under the surface of the entire planet! They've been here for centuries!" There was a crackle of energy from the tunnel behind Rory as he slowly turned and saw that there was a bright flash, "Rory!"


"So, you were kicked out of the FBI because you had attitude problems," Amy said as she walked over to Canton as they were examining some of the equipment.

"No. I just wanted to get married," Canton explained.

"Is that a crime?" She asked him.

"Yes," he answered before he pointed in the Doctor's direction as he stood with Jack, Rose and Jenny, "Doctor who, exactly?"

Amy looked over to the Doctor, Jack, Rose and Jenny as the Doctor stuck his head into a large crate, "That's classified."

"Classified by who?" Canton asked.

"Only Rose knows," Amy answered, "But besides her, God knows."

"But you work for him," Canton said.

"He's my friend," she told him, "If 'friend' is the right word. I haven't seen him or Rose in a while. I had something I wanted to tell them, but stuff always gets in the way."

"Stuff does that," he told her.

"Help me!" They heard the little girl say in the distance and all six of them were immediately on alert as Canton pulled out his pistol, "Help! Help me!"

"It's her!" Canton said as he ran towards the source of the voice.

Amy ran to follow after Canton as Jack and Jenny followed him, but she doubled over, gasping in pain as both the Doctor and Rose went to her.

"Amy? What's wrong?" The Doctor and Rose both asked her with concern on their faces and their voices.

"I need to tell you both something!" She told them.

"Doctor!" Canton said as he called out to the Time Lord.

"It's important. It's really, really important," Amy told them.

"Mum! Quickly!" Jenny said as she called out to her mother.

"What, now?" The Doctor asked as he pulled Amy along to another section of the warehouse with Rose following them as they found Canton and Jenny unconscious on the floor while Jack was dead on the floor as they ran over to Canton and Jenny.

"Canton! Canton, are you OK?" The Doctor asked as he kneeled beside Canton.

"Jenny, sweetheart are you all right?" Rose asked her daughter as she kneeled beside her at the same time.

"Are they all right?" Amy asked them.

"They're just unconscious. Got a proper whack though," Rose answered.

"Doctor, Rose I need to tell you both something," Amy told both Gallifreyans, "I have to tell you both it now!"

"Not a great moment, Amy," the Doctor told her.

"No, it's important, it has to be now!" Amy insisted.

"Help! Help me! Help me!" The little girl said yet again.

"Doctor...Rose... I'm pregnant," Amy told them.

They then heard thudding footsteps as the Doctor stood up with Rose following him and coming towards them was an astronaut.

"That's it," Amy muttered, "The astronaut!"

The astronaut raised its hand as Amy reached over and grabbed Canton's pistol with her back to the astronaut, she didn't see as it raised its visor to reveal that it was the little girl.

"Help me!" The little girl pleaded.

"Get down!" Amy ordered both Gallifreyans as she stood up.

"What are you doing!" Both Gallifreyans asked at the same time.

"Saving your lives!" Amy answered.

"No!" The Doctor and Rose both yelled at the same time as Amy fired the gun without realizing that it was the girl and screamed as she realized that the little girl was in the astronaut suit.
