It's long overdue, but finally here's the updated version of 'The Eleventh Hour', actually with text now to understand what's going on between conversations.

Enjoy!

The Doctor shifted out of River's arms, settling herself on the edge of the sofa so she could face her wife's parents properly. This conversation had been a long time coming. She spent a few minutes just taking in the site of Amy and Rory, it had been so long since she had seen the pair of them and it hadn't exactly been a nice parting. She hadn't even got to say a proper good bye to Rory, he'd been there one minute and then gone the next with Amy choosing to follow him.

She took a deep breath as she saw Amy getting visibly annoyed at her silence. Rory and River were watching the pair carefully, ready to intervene if necessarily. "What do you want to know?"

"What happened to the pair of you after Manhattan? What happened to River? What did you do to our daughter to make her believe you didn't love her?" Amy rattled off questions, gaze never leaving the Doctor.

The Doctor glanced at River, who was frowning at her mother's questions, then turned back to Amy. "After Manhattan we separated for a while. As you know our timelines are going mostly in the reverse of each other, so the next time she saw me was Darillium like we just watched. As for your last question; I don't know, only River could answer that." She was purposely trying to keep her tone calm and sensible as she knew how quickly this could dissolve into shouting – she'd never done well with parents.

River decided to inject. "It was my decision, Mother. To separate after Manhattan, it was for the best at the time, neither of us were in the right mind set." She purposely didn't answer the question about the Doctor's love, that was far too complicated and something she didn't want to get into with her parents.

"I don't care if it was your idea River." Amy raised an eyebrow at her daughter, still not satisfied with the pair. "What happened after Darillium? What happened to our daughter, Doctor?"

The Doctor glanced at Rory who just levelled his own gaze on the Doctor, that was a question he also desperately wanted an answer too. "Amelia-."

"No, Doctor. No avoiding the question, we deserve to know what happened to our daughter! For once in your existence just be honest with us: what happened to River?"

The Doctor took a deep breath, she'd known this question was going to be asked as soon as she'd seen the scene on Darillium and she'd been avoiding telling Amy and Rory the truth almost as long as she'd known. "Our timelines are going backwards most of the time-."

"We know that and you just reminded us." Rory interjected.

"I'm getting there I promise. As I was saying, our timelines are backwards." She hesitated, knowing how quickly this conversation was going to derail. "When I was in my tenth face during my travels with Donna, I got a message on my psychic paper. It told me to go to the Library, when we arrived, we met with a group of archaeologists. Things quickly went wrong in a terrible way, and to save 4022 people, the leader of the group sacrificed herself. That person was Professor River Song, it was the first time I had met her but not the first time she'd met me."

Amy and Rory just watched her for a moment, taking that information in. She risked a glance at River who was staring at her parents, expression blank. Amy took a breath, likely to calm herself. "So, you're saying-."

"I'm saying, the first time I met River she died."

"Every time we met River, when we discovered she was Melody, you knew the whole time? You knew how our daughter would die?" Amy asked, tone icy.

"Yes." The Doctor declared bluntly, there was no way around it.

"Mum, dad. It has already happened for me. The Library wasn't the end for me. And you know the danger of interfering in timelines. She couldn't tell me, no matter how much she may have wanted to." River tried to defend the Doctor, no matter how time passed or what happened she still loved the Doctor, no matter how much of an idiot they could be.

"That doesn't make it right River." Rory declared; frustration clear.

"We lost you, our time with you, our daughter, because of him, her, them whatever. If we'd never met them, our Melody would have been safe." Amy exclaimed, anger overtaking her. She'd been comforted by the idea after Manhattan, that the Doctor and River had been together and here the pair were telling them they hadn't stayed together.

Silence reigned for several moments, all taking in what Amy had said. The Scotswoman seemed to finally register what she had actually said and her anger evaporated, hand coming up to her mouth in shock but eyes determined.

The Doctor's expression went blank at Amy's words, knowing how true they were. She ignored River, instead focussing on her little Amelia. "Do you regret leaving with me?" She asked quietly, honestly curious to know, almost desperate to know.

Amy's eyes softened slightly. "No, I don't regret travelling with you. No matter how much I want too sometimes, I can't." Her tone was equally quiet, sincere and honest. "What I do regret is missing half of my daughter's life, not getting to raise my child properly. Losing my child and having no clue what she went through. The pain of losing my child is a pain that nothing could ever compare to."

The Doctor's eyes drifted to the ground, relief blossoming at Amy's declaration quickly being overridden by horrible understanding. "I know the pain of losing a child. I have lost all my children, my grandchildren, my whole family. I know nothing compares to that pain and I don't have words for how sorry I am that you had to go through it because of me."

"I'm sorry too Doctor." Amy said softly, so many unspoken words transferring amongst the group.

The new silence only lasted a couple of minutes before Rory broke it. "You have a brother." The group all turned to him, bewildered by the sudden change of topic. "River, I mean. We adopted a son, Anthony. You're a big sister River."

"Anthony. Anthony Williams." River muttered to herself, turning the words over in her head. She'd checked in on her parents as much as she could (which wasn't much) and read all her mother's books but hearing about her brother was amazing.

"We looked for you River, in 1969. When you were on the streets in New York. We couldn't find you." Amy added, almost apologetic.

River was starting to look overwhelmed at the new information, she'd never gotten much time with her parents when they knew they were her parents, and knowing they had looked for her as a child? It wasn't a feeling she could describe. "Thank you." She said for a lack of anything better.

"Maybe we could spend some time together while we are here? Hear some more of your stories and we'll tell you some about your brother, if you want that is?" Rory offered River, a recognisable olive branch.

"I'd love that dad." River answered smiling wildly, she'd spent so long wanting her parent's attention and care, and here her dad was offering it on a silver platter.

Amy however was focused on the Doctor. "I don't regret travelling with you." She repeated. "But there is still more we need to talk about and I'm sure the videos will show us plenty we'll need to discuss, just not now. Let's just enjoy the moment of peace we've been given." The Doctor nodded, gaze drifting every so often to her wife who looked so hopeful it was almost painful. She knew she couldn't escape further questions but Amy had gotten the big answer she had wanted for now.

It took a while for everyone to start drifting back, all knowing to give the group some time to clear the air in peace. They came back in small groups, chatting away and sharing stories of both life with and without the Doctor.

They settled back down into their old seats, still talking until everyone had gathered again in the screen room. When everyone had sat back down and conversations slowly died out, they started to turn back to the screen, curious but nervous to know what they would be shown next. The screen turned black as the words 'The Eleventh Hour' appeared almost on queue.

"What do you think this one is about?" Clara asked, directing her words mostly at the Doctor (who was the reasons they were watching the videos in the first place). The Doctor just shrugged, there wasn't much clues in the title.

"Maybe it's one of your adventures during your time as Chinny? He was your eleventh face, right?" Bill suggested.

The Doctor nodded thoughtfully. "That's a good idea. I guess we'll just have to see." With that the group turned to the screen, apprehensive and curious about what they were going to see this time.

The Tardis is out of control, it flues over London with the Doctor hanging from the threshold, sonic between his teeth and trying to climb back into the Tardis. He finally manages to climb back in and shuts the doors as the Tardis continues flying wildly

"Oh." The Doctor breathed out as she realised what the group was going to be seeing this time. She carefully edged a look at Amy and Rory who was watching the screen as curious as the rest of the group, no one else knew what the video was about yet, not that she would have expected them to. Her quiet words drew a curious glance from River and Jack who were the only ones that had heard her, but she offered no answers, they'd see.

In a bedroom, a little red-haired Scottish girl – Amelia – is saying a prayer

"Is this-?" Amy turned to the Doctor, recognising her younger self, Rory seemed to have also reached the same realisation based on the look on his face.

"Yes." The Doctor nodded. The rest of the group watched curious, all they could figure out was it was one of Chinny's adventures with Amy and Rory.

"Is that you?" Martha asked, squinting at the screen to try and match the little girl's face to grown-up Amy's.

"Yep." Amy grinned; she was sort of looking forward to seeing this again. The start was already raising feelings of nostalgia, it would be fun to see the beginning again in some strange way.

She prays to Santa, declaring it Easter now but its an emergency; there's a crack in her wall and her Aunt Sharon say its normal but she says its not as she hears voices at night. She asks for someone to come fix it, maybe a policeman

"You are adorable." Rose grinned, several of the other companions were smiling r chuckling at baby Amy's prayer to Santa. Amy was just laughing unashamed.

"You were praying to Santa at Easter?" Rory asked, grinning at his wife. The nostalgia at seeing Amy as a kid was very strong.

"Oh, leave me alone." Amy rolled her eyes at Rory.

She hears the Tardis materialise with a crash outside, she grabs a torch and runs out to see the Tardis had crash landed on the garden shed. Amelia thanks Santa

"Wait, you met the Doctor when you were a kid?" Martha asked Amy, several of the other companions were also looking at her. They didn't know how that would work.

"Yes, but he's terrible at controlling the Tardis." She grinned as if that answered everything. The group didn't ask any more questions getting the feeling they would find out what Amy meant soon. The Doctor just pouted.

The Tardis doors open outwards (to the sky as its on its side) and a grappling hook appears to hook onto the side as a soaking wet Doctor climbs out

"Why are you wet?" Donna asked incredulous, face crinkled at the Doctor. The whole group was looking at the Doctor confused by the scene playing out in front of them. The Doctor was bad at piloting the Tardis but not usually that bad.

"Spoilers." The Doctor smiled.

The Doctor asks for an apple, saying its all he can think about and he loves apples, he adds he might be having a craving which is new

"You've just regenerated." The Master declared form his corner, recognising the symptoms of regeneration in the Doctor.

It was more of a statement than a question but the Doctor nodded with a small smile. Their conversation had drawn the rest of the group's attention, several of the companions nodding along now realising that it did make sense. Those she had seen (namely Martha, Mickey and Jack) realised it wouldn't have been long after they had last seen her (then him)

"What happened?" Rose asked. "I mean to make you regenerate." The Doctor frowned glancing at both Donna and the Master briefly, both looked confused upon seeing her gaze focussed on them.

"Radiation poisoning." The Doctor admitted with a shrug, facing Donna she added, "Wilf was with me." Then she glanced at the Doctor. "Just after you went back into the Time Lock." The Master's expression was slightly troubled to those that knew him well (aka The Doctor), he hadn't realised how quickly the Doctor had regenerated after their last meeting in those incarnations.

"Grandad? Why was grandad with you?" Donna exclaimed, utterly confused. She knew they had vaguely met but she didn't know they'd spent much time together.

"He was the one who found me to let me know some trouble was happening. He came along on a bit of adventure." The Doctor answered vaguely not wanting to get into details, if it was important, they'd probably see it later. Honestly, she missed Wilf sometimes, he'd been such a nice man, very grandfatherly. The Doctor mused that Graham would probably get along well with Wilf – maybe she should introduce the pair.

Donna narrowed her eyes at the Doctor's avoidance but let it go for the moment, she could ambush her later.

He sits on the edge of the Tardis looking inside, Amelia asks if he's okay. The Doctor says he had a fall, down into the library so it was a big climb back up

"That doesn't explain why you are wet." Bill pointed out; face crinkled in confusion. The Doctor just grinned and waved at the screen.

Amelia comments on him being wet, the Doctor says he was in a swimming pool, and Amelia points out he said he was just in the library, the Doctor adds so was the swimming pool

"Why was the swimming pool in the library?" Ryan asked very confused. He'd seen the library and there definitely wasn't a swimming pool in the room.

"Ask the Tardis." The Doctor shrugged; it wasn't like she controlled the Tardis layout.

Amelia asks if he's a policeman

"She is absolutely not a policeman." Yaz grinned, the Doctor just grinned back.

"I'm as much a policeman as Amy is." Amy groaned at the reminder, eyes widening as she realised it might be shown.

The Doctor asks if she called the police, but Amelia just asks if he came about the crack. The Doctor asks what crack then falls to the ground in pain

The room glanced between the screen and the Doctor concerned. Those that had been with the Doctor during a regeneration or post-regeneration knew how bad it was on the Doctor, and they were worried about how this time had went, especially with no (adult) around.

Amelia asks if he's okay, the Doctor says he is and its perfectly normal as a breath of golden energy comes out his mouth

"It's only normal for you, Spaceman." Donna snorted. The Doctor shrugged instead of pointing out that she was one of three people here that could regenerate and that wasn't touching the several other semi-immortals in the room.

Amelia asks who he is, the Doctor says he doesn't know yet as he'd still cooking. He then asks if it scares her, Amelia says its just a bit weird

The Doctor smiled at Amy who rolled her eyes but grinned. Even if that hadn't been what she (the he'd) meant it was good to know she hadn't been scared.

The Doctor corrects her to the crack in the wall, asking if it scare her again. Amelia says it does

"Do you always throw yourself into trouble moments after regeneration?" Clara narrowed her eyes at the Doctor who was suddenly not meeting anyone's eyes.

The question made the Doctor have a serious think – did she? Thinking back at least the last few regenerations - Tim Shaw, the Clockwork Droids and dinosaur, Prisoner Zero and Sycorax to name the last few post-regeneration adventures. Huh, guess she did. She winced, "Maybe?"

The room just groaned, several people rolling their eyes at her, but other were also noticeably holding back small smiles, glad to see nothing ever changed.

DOCTOR: Well then, no time to lose. I'm the Doctor. Do everything I tell you, don't ask stupid questions, and don't wander off.

"Ah, starting with the rules early." Jack grinned.

The Doctor nodded serious, "Yes. I hoped if I started quickly, she'd actually listen." She glanced at Amy, "Should have known there was never any hope of that." Amy just grinned proud of herself.

"Learned from the best." She shot straight back at the Doctor.

The Doctor walks into a tree, saying its early days so steering is off

There was a burst of laughter at seeing the Doctor walk into a tree. Amy and River laughing the hardest (like mother, like daughter apparently). "Your 'steering' was off for that whole regeneration. You were like a clumsy house cat, always falling off of things and running into others. And don't get me started on your dancing!" Amy shook her head fondly. Rory, River and Clara (who had known her in that incarnation) all nodded along solemnly.

"Hey! What was wrong with my dancing?" The Doctor protested.

"That's what you focus on?" Amy raised an eyebrow before sighing dramatically. "It was terrible! You looked like a drunk giraffe!" The Doctor continued to protest while the group all laughed.

In the kitchen, Amelia asks if he's a doctor why does his box say police

"Asking the serious questions." Bill grinned, thinking about some of the semi-similar questions she'd asked during the mess with Heather/the Pilot. Amy grinned back at the younger woman.

The Doctor bites an apple and spits it straight back out calling it disgusting, saying apples are rubbish and he hates them

"An apple a day keeps the Doctor away." Rose laughed with several others joining in upon hearing her words.

"Manners Martian, seriously!" Donna exclaimed making the Doctor look a bit sheepish.

Amelia points out he said he loved them; the Doctor disagrees saying he loves yogurt, that's his favourite. Amelia gets him yogurt which he pours in his mouth and spits out again

"That is disgusting." Yaz announced with a disgusted grimace.

He hates yogurt, calling it stuff with bits in it. He says it's a new mouth with new rules, trying to explain its like eating after cleaning your teeth and everything tastes wrong

"That's a vaguely good way to describe it, well done Sweetie." River considered, patting the Doctor's arm patronisingly. The Doctor just preened with the praise (to the enjoyment of the rest of the group). "Of course, as usual you're being very dramatic about it all though."

"Hey!"

The Doctor twitches and Amelia asks what's wrong with him. The Doctor says it's not his fault, asking why she won't give him any good food, saying she's Scottish so fry something. Amelia gets a frying pan out while the Doctor dries his hair

"Doctor! She's seven, you can't ask her to fry something!" Martha exclaimed shooting the Doctor a glare making her shrink down in her seat. Amy was just laughing at the Doctor.

He eats the bacon she gives him and spits it out again, asking if shes trying to poison him. Next beans which are declared evil. Then they try bread and butter

"Are you going to actually eat anything?" Mickey grinned.

Amy and the Doctor just exchanged a glance before laughing while Rory rolled his eyes used to their behaviour.

The Doctor throws the bread and butter out the door hitting a door as he shouts at it to stay out

The group burst out laughing at the Doctor's dramatics. "I can't believe you hit a cat!" Amy cackled; she was finding this particularly funny especially compared to the first time around where she'd been mostly confused.

Amelia offers carrots, to which the Doctor calls her insane. He declares he knows what he needs – fish finger and custard. A moment later he's eating fish fingers and custard as Amelia eats ice cream

"That looks so wrong." Bill complained, grimacing. The rest of the group seemed to share her opinion based on their expressions.

"Actually, it tastes a lot better than it looks, surprisingly." Amy admitted, making the Doctor smile brightly at the defence of her food choice. Rory reluctantly nodded along too but no one looked convinced.

Amelia declares him funny; the Doctor says that's good, asking her name

"You've raided her kitchen but never actually asked her name? Honestly Doc." Graham sighed fondly, he'd admit easily that it was still a bit weird seeing all these other blokes and knowing they were the Doctor but sometimes they'd say or do something, and he could see his Doctor in them.

She introduces herself as Amelia Pond. The Doctor loves her name, declaring it like a fairy tale before asking if there in Scotland. Amelia says no as they moved to England which is terrible

"Hey!" Protested all the English people in the room (aka everyone but River, Jack, the Master, the Doctor, Nardole and Rory (who was used to his wife's antics).

"It's true and I ain't taking it back!" Amy argued, her Scottish accent coming out a bit stronger. She loved her heritage, and she'd never lost her accent no matter how long she'd lived in other countries.

The Doctor asks about her parents, wondering if they're upstairs and suspired they haven't woken them up

The group suddenly realised how good a question that was, why hadn't they seen any adult. Surely, they would have heard all the commotion? Rory, River, Amy and the Doctor shared a glance all thinking about the crack.

Amelia says she doesn't have parents, only an aunt. The Doctor says he doesn't even have an aunt and Amelia says he's lucky

Amy frowned at that comment, it had seemed fine as a little kid but knowing what she did now it was just sad. She glanced at the Doctor a bit worried but she was focused on the screen, expression never wavering.

The Doctor asks where his aunt is, turns out she's out leaving Amelia alone

The group shifted a bit uncomfortable at that but several of them had grown up in single parent households and knew that sometimes there wasn't much other options as horrible as it seemed, plus no one was really prepared to comment on Amy's homelife with the way she was glaring at them all as if daring them to say anything.

Amelia says she isn't scared. The Doctor agrees, sharing that she wasn't scared by him or the Tardis, saying it must be a hell of a crack in her wall to scare her

Amy, Rory, River and the Doctor all shivered, that was an understatement to say the least. The rest of the group watched them, more nervous now having seen their reaction – clearly this crack was nothing good.

In her bedroom they find the crack which has a slight w shape across her wall. The Doctor says she's had cowboys in there but not literally. Amelia gives the Doctor an apple with a smiley face in it explaining she used to hate apples, so her mum added faces on them

Amy and the Doctor grinned at seeing the apple, it had been one of the hardest pieces of evidence to the Doctor's explanation of who he was after he came back.

The Doctor keeps the apple for later, going back to the crack which doesn't go all the way through the wall, asking if that's true where the draught is coming from. He scans it with his sonic

"The crack isn't just in the wall is it, Doctor?" Jack said slowly, suddenly getting much more nervous about the situation. All his senses were saying the crack was important and dangerous. The Doctor grimaced and waved back at the screen which really did nothing to reassure Jack.

The Doctor declares it wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey, asking if Amelia knows what the crack is

All the companions who had heard the phrase 'wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey' grinned at the familiar phrase despite the tension building in the room.

The Doctor declares it a crack, but if you got rid of the wall the crack would still be there as it is a split in the skin of the world – two places in space and time that are pressed together which shouldn't be. He confirms she can hear stuff from it, Amelia says she hears a voice

"I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that's really not good." Bill declared looking worried.

Amy, Rory, River and the Doctor shared a look before answering in syn. "It's not."

The Master and Jack (and vaguely Nardole) who understood a bit more about space, time and technology than the rest of the group looked even more worried than the others. Declaring that 'not good' was putting it extremely lightly. The Master was scrolling through the list of things that could cause such a crack, the list was very short but very worrying. A glance at the Doctor offered no answers as she was avoiding his gaze.

There is a growl from somewhere, the Doctor empties a glass of water from Amelia's bedside table and uses it to listen to the crack

There were a few sighs at the Doctor's continued lack of manners (regarding emptying the cup of water) but the room was too tense, most of them on the edge of their seats leaning forward to see what would happen. Rory and River who had heard the story of what happened, were inspecting he screen carefully. They knew broadly what was going to happen, but it was a different matter to see it play out like this.

On the other side the Atraxi declare Prisoner Zero has escaped. Amelia agrees that's what she heard, asking what it meant. The Doctor declares it means that on the other side of the wall is a prison missing a prisoner, asking if she knows what that means

"Where did the prisoner escape too?" Nardole muttered quietly, reaching a conclusion before most of the room. His words were too quiet and the room too tense so that most people didn't hear it, and those that did paid it no attention.

She needs a better wall, and the only way to close the crack is to open it fully, saying the forces will invert and it'll snap shut, before adding 'or' and trailing of

"Or what? I don't like the sound of that Doctor." Donna snapped, concern obvious on her face, the Doctor speaking like that was never a good thing and here he was with a defenceless 7-year-old girl.

Amelia asks what but the Doctor just asks if she knows when grown-ups say things will be fine but you know they're probably lying, when Amelia says yes, he says everything will be fine

"Doctor!" Rose (and several others) groaned, glad for the honestly but knowing exactly how unreassuringly that would have been for them let alone a 7-year-old girl unused to aliens and trouble. Amy was just smiling softly at the Doctor thankful for the honestly instead of trying to completely cover everything up like an adult normally would.

The doctor holds Amelia's hand as he sonics the crack, widening it and flooding the room with light – a giant eye looks through the crack repeating the news that Prisoner Zero has escaped

"An eyeball! Why is it just an eyeball?" Martha muttered to herself with a sigh, she really shouldn't be surprised after all her travels with the Doctor.

Amelia asks what it is, a bolt of light hits the Doctor, and he doubles over as the crack close. He declares he knew it would close, and everything good now

"But what was it? And what did it do to you?" Rose asked, frustrated by the lack of answers (like usual).

Amy, Rory and the Doctor shared a glance but offered no answers, the group would see soon, although he true extent of the cracks wouldn't be revealed in this video (they didn't think). Both Jack and the Master looked unconvinced by the easy 'closure' of the cracks – it was far too easy and something was nudging at their minds, they didn't think the matter was done with so simply.

Amelia asks if that was Prisoner Zero. The Doctor declares it was probably Prisoner Zero's guard which sent him a message through his psychic paper – it's the same message about Prisoner Zero escaping. He asks why they're telling them unless ... unless Prisoner Zero escaped through there, adding he couldn't have as they'd know

"But where did it go? Surely you would have seen him?" Yaz asked, face crinkled in thought. She'd immediately gone into policewoman/investigation mode upon seeing a mystery, her time with the Doctor had certainly helped better those skills. Once again Amy and the Doctor shared a look but answered no questions, it was starting to really frustrate the group.

In the corridor, there's a door across the way and two more by the staircase. The Doctor says it's difficult as it's a new him and nothing works yet, but he knows he's missing something, just out the corner of his eye

The Doctor winced, she'd been so close to figuring it out and if the Tardis hadn't started calling, she would have figured it out then and there. Amy frowned having reached the same conclusion, they'd been so close.

The Tardis cloister bells ring and the Doctor starts shouting no, saying he need to get back there, running to the garden. He shouts that the engines are phasing and its going to burn

"Always one situation after another with you Doctor." Ryan said, the Tardis burning really didn't sound good and the whole situation was frustrating and worrying the whole group.

Amelia asks how a box can have engines; the Doctor tells her its not a box but a time machine. Amelia asks if it's a real time machine

"It's like the opposite from me." Rose mused drawing the room's (confused) attention. "I mean when the Doctor first asked me to travel, he mentioned the space aspect but not time, and with little-Amy he mentioned time but not space." The Doctor blinked having not ever made the connection, he'd been so busy panicking at the time he hadn't really been focusing on much.

The Doctor says not for longer if he doesn't stabilise it, adding a five-minute jump to the future and back should fix everything. Amelia asks to come but the Doctor says it isn't safe saying he'll be back in five minutes

Amy and the Doctor shared a glance and a silent conversation, it really hadn't been five minutes, not even close to five minutes. But watching the video like this and knowing what would happen, that was probably for the best, she couldn't help but wonder if everything would have turned out alright if she'd travelled with the Doctor at 7? Would she have ever married Rory? Had River? Who knows how things would have ended up.

Amelia claims everyone always says that the Doctor asks if he looks like people saying to trust him as he's the Doctor

"You say your name like it explains everything." Rory said, all too aware of rule 1 – the Doctor lies – and he couldn't help but think back to the hotel with the (alien) minotaur where Amy's faith in the Doctor had almost got her killed. The Doctor shot him an understanding look, face dark, as she thought about similar things.

He jumps into the Tardis with a Geronimo! Amelia hears a splash before the doors close and the Tardis dematerialises. Amelia runs back to her room and packs a suitcase, not noticing one of the doors across from hers is now open. Wrapped up in a duffel coat and woolly hat, Amelia sits on her suitcase in the garden, waiting for the Doctor to return

The group watched as the Doctor disappeared apprehensively, they had an odd feeling it hadn't been five minutes – between knowing Amy hadn't travelled with the Doctor at that age, the conversations that had occurred throughout their time in the room and the Doctor's ability to pilot the Tardis it didn't seem likely.

The tension in the room rose again upon seeing the open door at the end of the corridor, no one missing the look Amy and the Doctor shared upon seeing it, they had a funny feeling they knew where Prisoner Zero was and it was not reassuring.

The group couldn't help but smile at seeing little Amelia pack her suitcase and get dressed so eagerly, sitting in the garden waiting for the Doctor to come back, it was an endearing sight. Rory particularly smiled fondly at the young version of his wife, personally he was quite glad the Doctor hadn't arrived back in time – he might have never gotten to marry Amy otherwise.

The Tardis rematerializes, steaming in the daytime with no Amelia in sight as the Doctor stumbles out. He's shouting for Amelia, declaring he worked it out and knows what he was missing, shouting that she needs to get out of there

Amy smiled fondly at the Doctor's worry. It was nice to know that she'd been his first thought and he'd come tumbling out of the Tardis in a panic to save her. The rest of the group was on edge, the Doctor's panic together with knowing he was late was only making them more worried about what would happen.

He runs into the hallway calling for her. He runs to her bedroom shouting that Prisoner Zero is there. A floorboard creaks behind him, and he gets knocked unconscious by a cricket bat as he turns to look

"Doctor!" A few people shouted at seeing the Doctor suddenly knocked out, especially after having their suspicions confirmed in regards to Prisoner Zero's location. Amy was trying hard to hide her grin from the group, not wanting to ruin the surprise, unnoticed by the group the Doctor shot her a wounded look, vaguely rubbing the back of her head like she could still feel the phantom pain.

In the coma ward of Royal Leadworth Hospital, a female doctor (Ramsden), and male nurse (Rory) walk through. Ramsden is disbelieving of Rory's claim that all the come patients spoke seeing as they are coma patients

"You're a nurse." Martha blinked having not made the realisation yet. Rory smiled a bit shyly (he was a bit concerned about how he was going to be conveyed). Martha smiled back brightly. "God to have another actual medical professional around. God knows this lot is accident prone, the Doctor especially." Rory laughed at that, he had a feeling he would get along great with Martha and made a note to search her out next break for a conversation. Both medics ignored the Doctor's spluttering protests.

Ramsden asks why Rory is wasting her time, Rory claims it's because they called for her. One of the coma patients says Doctor. Then they all are repeating Doctor

"Wrong Doctor, Nina." Clara muttered; concern obvious. It was never good when things were getting odd and no one was sure how the coma patients played into the equation but it didn't look like anything nice. She got a few glanced from the group at the nickname but no one wanted to ask.

Back in Amy's corridor, the Doctor wakes up to see a young woman in a skirted police uniform using her radio – adult Amy. She's describing the Doctor and asking for back up, saying she has him restrained. She tells him to sit still when she sees him wake up

"I thought you said you weren't police?" Bill asked confused. Rory and the Doctor's snickers only made her (and the rest of the group) more confused. Amy was shooting the pair glares that would have terrified anyone else and huffed before waving to the screen in a mimic of the Doctor's usual avoidance of answers, she didn't want to answer at that moment.

The Doctor works out he was hit with a cricket bat

"You deserved it for your obsession with cricket in your fifth face." The Master smirked from his corner, now that had been a Doctor he'd loved to annoy. He'd been part of their formation and had spent so long chasing the blond, sometimes he missed the Doctor's old regenerations (particularly ones from before everything went very bad, he had an especially soft spot for the Doctor's third face, not that he would ever admit it).

The Doctor glared at him; arms crossed with a humph but offered no comment.

Amy argues he was breaking and entering, he's cuffed to a radiator. The Doctor says he needed the whack on the head to help the new him

The group gave the Doctor bewildered looks, it was very typical Doctor behaviour if not slightly worrying. Yaz, Graham and Ryan couldn't help but think back to the Doctor getting hot against a wall by her newly made sonic device, she had seemed equally peppy about getting hurt back then too.

Amy tells him to shut up as she has back-up coming; the Doctor says she's a policewoman, asking what she's dong there and asking for Amelia

The room turned to the Doctor, with expressions almost pitying. "You didn't figure out that she was Amelia?" Rose asked, they'd all made the connection (although they did have help with having Amy in the room with them).

The Doctor frowned, watching the video now it did seem a bit more obvious. "I hadn't been expecting to be so late and find a grown-up version of Amy, I was expecting a little kid." She tried to explain.

Amy asks if he means Amelia Pond. The Doctor agrees, asking where she is as she promised her five minutes but the engines were phasing so he thinks he went too far, he asks if something happened to her

Amy was watching the screen, unable to deny the relief at seeing the Doctor so worried about her. She knew he hadn't meant to be so late but it was something else so see it like this.

Amy tells her Amelia hasn't live there in a long time – six months in fact. The Doctor declares he can't be six months late, he'd promised, again asking what happened to her. Amy talks into her radio again saying to hurry up as he knows something about Amelia Pond

"Were you purposely messing with him?" Rory asked his wife with a fond smile; he couldn't deny he was slightly excited to see the whole adventure instead of hearing about the large parts he'd missed.

"He'd broken into my house and looked identical to someone from over a decade ago! What would you do?" Amy argued quietly so that no one else would overhear. Rory raised his hands in surrender at his wife's argument, she raised a fair point.

In the coma ward, Ramsden is surprised as she didn't think they were conscious. Rory tries to tell her something else, but Ramsden cuts him off saying she'd heard, and he's a good nurse but they've been patient enough with him

"You've seen something weird and no one's believing you." Mickey declared knowingly. No one had ever believed his tales about the Doctor when Rose disappeared so he was all too familiar with that feeling. Rory nodded, glad that someone understood (although he got the feeling the whole group would, they all dealt with a special brand of weird, the Doctor being weird thing number 1).

Rory claims to have seen the coma patients outside wandering the village, Ramsden says they're under 24-hour supervision and he can't have. He tries to give her his phone, which is also a camera, but Ramsden's beeper goes off and she tells him to take some time off staring now

"You had evidence, and she wouldn't even see it." Donna snorted degradingly, that was just typical. Rory was just glad the group didn't even hesitate in believing him.

Back at Amy's, the Doctor demands to speak to whoever lives in the house now, Amy says she lives there and the Doctor protests saying she's police

The group just looked at the Doctor for several minutes. The Doctor looked back unblinking. Eventually Martha gave up and huffed at the Doctor. "Police are people too Doctor, they still have to live somewhere." The Doctor just smiled a bit sheepish; she'd been too focused on little Amelia to really be thinking properly.

Amy says yes, but she still lives there, asking if he has a problem with that. The Doctor asks how many rooms there are, telling her to count them as it will change her life

"Could you not just tell her instead of being purposely cryptic?" Clara raised an eyebrow.

"Hey! She was being cryptic too!" The Doctor protested but was ignored in favour of the group chuckling.

Amy counts five rooms. The Doctor corrects her to six, telling her to look where she doesn't want to, the corner of her eye, behind her

"Perception filter." Jack declared; he'd been wondering how Prisoner Zero had stayed unnoticed so long.

The Doctor nodded with a grimace, especially with the knowledge of what was going to happen next.

Amy declares it isn't possible, as the Doctor explains it's a perception filter on the door and he'd sensed it last time. Amy is distracted by the fact there's a whole room she'd never noticed as the Doctor continues to explain the filter stops her noticing, and there's something hiding there so she needs to uncuff him. Amy admits she lost the key

"You lost it? But how's the Doctor going to get out of the cuffs?" Yaz asked, she still wanted answers about Amy not being police but the whole situation was suddenly taking a kind of horror movie turn.

Amy just grinned with a shrug while the Doctor pouted, she was glad at least someone was thinking about her.

The Doctor asks how she lost it before telling her to stay away from the door, begging her to listen to her while she does exactly the opposite. He asks himself why no one listens to him, asking if he ha that kind of face

"Yes." River grinned. "You've had 14 faces that no one listens to." She did so enjoy teasing her wife.

Amy goes into the room which is empty with boarded up windows and packing boxes, as the Doctor asks about his screwdriver out in the corridor

"Anyone else getting horror movie vibes?" Bill asked. "No, just me, okay."

Amy declares there's nothing there, but the Doctor says whatever it was stopped her seeing the room so why would she be able to see it

"Oh yeah that's absolutely helpful. Well done, Spaceman."

The Doctor asks her to get out, and Amy comments on his screwdriver as she found it in the room. The Doctor says it must have rolled under the door, Amy adds, dubiously, that it must have also jumped on the table

"You need to get out of there now." Rose muttered. Like the rest of the group, she was on the edge of the seat, concerned with how things had suddenly got dangerous again. They kept glancing between the screen and Amy in the room to reassure themselves she was there safe.

The Doctor tells her to get out of there, Amy picks up the screwdriver which is stuck to the table with gunk

A few people made disgusted faces at seeing the gunk, but no one made any comments, the tension was too thick.

The Doctor is still shouting at her to leave, as a snake-like thing with sharp teeth slithers behind Amy

"That's Prisoner Zero?" Graham asked, turning to the Doctor and Amy who nodded with matching frowns. The Master, Jack and River were all scrolling through their mental index of alien species to try and identify it.

The Doctor asks what she's doing, as Amy claims there's nothing there. The Doctor reminds her about the corner of her eye, telling her to not try and see it as it will kill her. He tells her to not look but she turns around and stares it in the face, screaming

Amy grimaced at that, unable to deny it was at least partially her fault for not listening to the Doctor and just getting out. Plus looking back, it wasn't anywhere near the worst or weirdest things she'd seen, just the first. The tension in the room just increased, everyone's worry skyrocketing at seeing Amy in danger with the Doctor unable to reach them and no one else coming.

The Doctor shouts for her to get out, and Amy finally runs to the Doctor, where he grabs the screwdriver from her and locks the door before trying to free himself. He encourages the screwdriver, asking what the bad alien had done to it

Clara sighed, "I think you should be more concerned with the imminent alien danger than your sonic being on the blink." The Doctor looked unrepentant.

Amy asks if the door will hold it. The Doctor agrees sarcastically saying its an interdimensional multiform from space, of course they're scared of wood

"No need for the sarcasm." Amy rolled her eyes, she was calmer than most of the room (the benefits of knowing what was going to happen) and frankly, enjoying seeing her first adventure with the Doctor. She loved Rory and even their new life (most of the time) but she did miss the Doctor sometimes, he'd been such a big part of her life for so long it was weird to not have him in it now.

There's a bright light in the room and Amy asks what its doing. The Doctor doesn't know but tells her to run as she said back-up is coming so he'll be fine. Amy admits there's not back-up

"Because you're not actually police." Yaz said unsure. Amy nodded in answer.

The Doctor recalls her message on the radio, and Amy admits she was pretending as she's a kissogram

The whole group seemed to make the same 'oh!" expression at once. Their comments suddenly made far more sense. Amy was glaring at the group again, daring them to make a comment.

Amy takes off her hat, letting her read hair fall down. The door collapses to reveal one of the male coma patients with a black dog

"That's how you keep seeing the comma patients." Martha realised; her words aimed at Rory who nodded.

Amy tries to say it's just a person, but the Doctor tells her to look at the faces as the man barks

"That's kinda freaky." Bill frowned, leaning forward to get a better look at Prisoner Zero/the comma patient.

Amy is confused. The Doctor explains its one creature disguised as two – a multi-form but a rushed job as it got the voices mixed. He asks where it got the pattern from as it would need a psychic link – the coma ward where the patient it's mimicking has a picture of him with a dog at his bedside

"He's stealing the appearance of comma patients, allowing him to walk around town without being noticed." Rose summarised earing a proud smile from the Doctor.

The Doctor tells it to stay back, declaring they're safe as Amy sent for back-up. Amy reminds him she didn't call for back-up. The Doctor says he knows, it was just a lie to save their lives before correcting himself for Prisoner Zero saying they're not a threat as they don't have back-up

"Sorry Doctor." Amy grinned; she'd been so new to the whole thing it was kinda weird to see. The Doctor had been trying so desperately to get them out of there safe and she wasn't helping much. The Doctor just smiled back in understanding; it was easy to see how much Amy had changed when comparing the one in the room to the one in the video.

The Atraxi declare the human residence surrounded. Amy asks what it is, and the Doctor tells her it's back-up, once again correcting himself to say they're safe as they have back-up

"How did they only just find Prisoner Zero? Surely he couldn't have been hiding for however long you've been gone." Clara asked the question that seemed to be on most of the group's minds. The Doctor just smiled a bit ruefully but waved to the screen, she was sure she'd explain it later.

The Atraxi warns Prisoner Zero to leave the human residence or it will be incinerated. The Doctor corrects himself to say they're safe apart from the incineration

"Oh yeah, nothing to worry about there. Just a light bit of incineration." Donna snorted, didn't that just sound familiar.

The Atraxi repeats itself as the Doctor struggles to work the sonic to free himself – he finally does

The group smiled at seeing the Doctor finally free themselves, they had a better chance of getting away now they weren't literally chained to a radiator.

The Doctor tells Amy to run as the Atraxi repeats itself again

"Ah, the start of the running." Rose grinned with most of the group grinning too, it was definitely a staple when it came to the Doctor.

In the garden, the Doctor asks about the kissogram thing, asking why she was pretending to be a policewoman. Amy argues he broke into her house, so it was that or a French Maid, demanding for him to tell her what's going on

The group chuckled at that, the tension easing at seeing the pair out of immediate danger and bickering away. "Was my job really that important in that exact moment?" Amy complained, she really would have appreciated a better explanation though she'd long since given up on expecting that with the Doctor.

"Absolutely." The Doctor answered unashamed, grin bright on her face.

The Doctor explains it's an alien prisoner hiding in her spare room disguised as a man and his dog, while other aliens threaten to incinerate her house, adding does she have any questions. Amy says yes, and the Doctor says he does too. The Tardis won't let them in as its still rebuilding

"Great so no Tardis but lots of aliens wanting to kill you." Martha sighed, wasn't that just typical.

Amy tries to get him to move but the Doctor is distracted by the shed, which he smashed to pieces the last time he was there

"Oh yeah. How long were you gone? I mean I know Amy's grown-up now but..." Bill asked, question not needing to be finished. Amy and the Doctor shared a look before smiling and waving to the screen in sync.

Amy says there's a new one, trying to get him to move again. The Doctor is still distracted, saying the new one is old, twelve years old in fact. He's twelve years late

"Twelve years?" Jack whistled. "Wow, you really are a bad pilot."

"Hey!"

Amy says Prisoner Zero is coming, the Doctor asks why she said six months, saying it's important. Amy snaps back asking why he said five minutes, the Doctor is confused

"You still hadn't realised she was Amelia?" Rory asked, he would have thought the Doctor would have realised earlier.

"I was a bit busy with all the aliens and threats on incineration, Roman." The Doctor protested; she felt personally justified by her lack of recognition from her perspective of event in the video at least, but watching it from this view did make it more obvious.

Amy finally drags him away as he's still dealing with the revelation. The Atraxi repeating its threat

The room was getting more nervous at the Atraxi's threat, the further the pair got from the house. Something was sitting right for them, something was wrong. And not just with the whole escaped prisoner out to get them thing.

In the village lane, the Doctor says she's Amelia, and Amy says he's late

"Frequently." Amy muttered to herself, it hadn't been the last time the Doctor had been late, nowhere near.

The Doctor is distracted by the idea that she's little Amelia, asking what happened and then lingering in the fact that she hit him with a cricket bat. Amy, however, is just repeating he's late, by 12 years

"You're both very focused on this matter and I get that. But shouldn't you be at least a bit concerned for the whole alien threat?" Rose asked a tad awkwardly.

The Doctor and Amy shared a glance before answering in sync. "Nah." Rory just groaned at the pair; he really should have expected this upon their reunion.

Amy says twelve years and four psychiatrists, the Doctor asks why four, and Amy tells him she kept biting them as they said he wasn't real

"Feisty, I like you." Jack smirked flirtatiously at Amy who winked back.

"Oi! Married." Rory protested, earning a roll of the eyes from Amy.

"I like you two. I'm willing to share."

"Jack!"

The Atraxi's warning is coming from an ice cream van's speakers, and Amy declares they're being stalked by an ice-cream van

There were a few chuckles at that comment and the absurdity of it but the tension was starting to build again, that feeling of something being wrong was only getting stronger.

The Doctor asks what he's playing, but the ice man is confused as it's supposed to be Claire De Lune

"Doctor. Sweetie. Did you really think he was purposely playing that in an attempt to get people to buy ice cream?" River sighed in fond exasperation at her wife whose protests fell on death ears.

The warning is also on the radio, and people's phones, and iPods. Amy asks what is happening as the warning just keeps repeating

"I'm starting to think they don't mean Amy's house." Martha said worriedly. The glance shared between Amy, Rory and the Doctor only made her more concerned.

The Doctor barges into Mrs Angelo's home, an elderly lady fighting the tv remote as its on every channel. The Doctor apologises for bursting in but they're looking at faults in TVs in the area and crimes. He goes to look at the tv.

"You're just bursting into someone's house! That's how you got hit with the cricket bat lats time." Rose shook her head, exasperated. The Doctor never learned.

Mrs Angelo says its on every channel, and she was just on the phone about it. She greets Amy by name asking if she's a policewoman now. Amy says sometimes as Mrs Angelo declares she thought she was a nurse, or a nun. Amy adds she dabbles

The room was chuckling at Amy's uncomfortable state. Clearly the old lady knew her but not her job and no one was willing to admit that they wouldn't have told her either. Rory was smiling at his wife's situation while Amy just sighed, a small smile twitching at the edge of her lips.

Mrs Angelo asks Amy who her friend is. The Doctor asks about it being Amy and not Amelia now, citing it was a great name. Amy declared it a bit too fairy tale

The Doctor shifted uncomfortable, all too aware of how much she was to blame for that change. Amy had just repeated his own words back to him, twelve years later.

"But it was a brilliant fairy tale." Amy offered unusually soft at seeing the Doctor shift uncomfortable in her seat. The pair shared a silent conversation while the rest of the group looked away getting the feeling this was a very private conversation. Rory and River were the only ones who didn't look away, both far too involved to pretend otherwise.

"It always is." The Doctor muttered back equally softly, twinged with a deep grief.

Mrs Angelo feels like she knows him, saying she'd seen him somewhere before

"How would she have seen you before?" Ryan asked bewildered, the Doctor had literally only had that face for like half an hour and only met Amy. The Doctor just grinned far too amused while Amy groaned, she'd forgotten about that. Their reactions only confused the group more.

The Doctor agues it's a new face so she can't have, he asks Amy what kind of job a kissogram is. Amy says she goes to parties and kisses people while wearing outfits, the Doctor declares she was a little girl five minutes ago. Amy declares he's worse than her aunt, and the Doctor says he's the Doctor and he's worse than everyone's aunts, before adding that's not how he's introducing himself

"I'd hope not." Clara grinned while the rest of the group laughed at the Doctor.

On the radio the Atraxi's warning is coming through in every language – they're broadcasting to the whole world

"Definitely not talking about the house." Bill declared, nervously. That was really not good, the whole group was getting more and more nervous especially with their growing suspicions on what the Atraxi were threatening to do.

The Doctor looks out the window and Amy asks what he's looking for. The Doctor works out with the planet's basic molten core they'll need a 40% fission blast

The group all grimaced as their suspicions were confirmed, the Atraxi weren't focussed on the house or even the town – they were planning to incinerate the Earth, just brilliant.

A young man comes in as the Doctor keeps speaking. He says they'll need to power up first so assuming a medium sized starship that should give them twenty minutes

"Even better, a threat of incineration with a time limit, delightful." Martha announced with a sigh. The rest of the group seemed to share the same sentiment.

Amy asks twenty minutes until what. The young man – Jeff, asks if he's the Doctor. Mrs Angelo agrees, saying he'd the Raggedy Doctor from all of Amy's cartoons when she was little

The whole group started grinning as they realised what was happening. The Doctor was grinning wildly, and Rory was trying to hide his grin (he was in elbowing distance of Amy after all) while Amy tried to hide her blush by putting her head in her hands.

Amy whispers at them to shut up while the Doctor questions the cartoon thing. Jeff is stuck on the fact it's really the Doctor

"You made cartoons about the Doctor?" Jack grinned, very entertained by the thought. The rest of the group seemed to share the sentiment; they could understand the obsession though none of them would admit it.

"Shut up, I was a kid." Amy glared.

"That wasn't all she made." Rory grinned before the grin faded as he was elbowed in the side, hard.

Amy tells Jeff to shut up before asking about the time limit. The Doctor tells them the Atraxi aren't talking about Amy's house, they're talking about incinerating the whole Earth, they have twenty minutes until the end of the world

"You've just regenerated, came back twelve years late and now you have twenty minutes to stop the world being incinerated. Do you ever stop Doctor?" Rose asked, concern clear in her voice alongside fondness, not everything seemed to change despite the face change.

The Doctor just shrugged with a blank look; it was true she didn't stop. Stopping meant letting all her thoughts catch up to her and she didn't want that. If she was busy, she wasn't focusing on the past.

In space the giant eye is only one of many spaceships above

"Great, there's lots of them." Nardole muttered. Amy and Rory shared a glance they hadn't realised how outnumbered they had been, and things had got very close near the end.

The Doctor and Amy go out onto the road and the Doctor asks where he is, Amy informs him he's in Leadworth

"Leadworth? That's a change from London." Martha declared; she hadn't even really heard of the place.

The Doctor asks where the rest of the place is, Amy tells him the nearest city is Glouster half an hour away by car, which they don't have. The Doctor is unimpressed by the limited resources – they have twenty minutes to save the world, and he only has a post office, which is shut

"Lots to work with." Donna snorted. Amy and Rory shrugged, they'd both grown up there and even they could admit there wasn't much around.

The Doctor questions the duck pond they walk by, asking why there isn't any ducks. Amy tells him there never is, and why it's important

"I don't think that's important at the minute Doc." Graham said, he was far more worried by the threat of incineration in twenty minutes than the duck-less duck pond.

The Doctor clutches his chest as he declares he doesn't know, and he's not done yet. A disc covers the sun like a total eclipse as Amy asks why it's going dark

"That's not good."

"Not at all."

The Doctor tells her they're looking through a forcefield as the Atraxi sealed off the upper atmosphere in preparation for boiling the planet. He then comments on all the people coming outside to look and watch the end of the world through a video phone

"Oh lovely, that's how I'd always wanted to die." Bill snorted.

Amy declares it isn't real, pointing out he said he had a time machine. The Doctor points out she believed him then, Amy counters that she grew up

"You should never do that." The Doctor grinned at Amy who rolled her eyes at her.

The Doctor says you should never do that, then tells himself to shut up as he missed it. He thinks back to what he saw, moving past everyone looking at the sun to focus on Rory photographing people instead. The time is 11:30

The group watched fascinated at the insight into how the Doctor's mind worked, although only a few of them noticed what the Doctor had actually noticed. The tension was increasing again with the time limit counting down to certain doom and painful death.

The Doctor tells Amy they have twenty minutes to the end, and she can either run to her loved ones or help him. Amy says no and drags him to a car, slamming his tie in the door before taking the keys from the driver and locking it

The group burst out laughing at seeing the Doctor dragged around and then trapped again, it was completely contrary to what they had expected but seemed so in character for the fiery red head they started to get to now here in the room. Amy was cackling loudly at the Doctor's expression while the Doctor pouted, she'd been trying to forget about this.

The Doctor asks if she's crazy, Amy asks who he is. The Doctor tells her to look at the sky reminding her about the depleting time, and Amy is undeterred, telling him to talk quickly

The group watched the exchange in a mix of entertainment (mostly at seeing Amy dealing with the Doctor's dramatics) and worry (as they really didn't have the time to waste). It was interesting to see another introduction to the Doctor, both a different face and a different companion and overall, they were enjoying it despite the worry over the constant danger.

The driver – Henderson – asks for his car keys back calling Amy by name. Amy tells him to get a coffee, which he does

"Does everyone in town know you?" Rose asked upon seeing yet another person address Amy by name (and seem vaguely scared of the fiery Scotswoman).

"It's a small town, everyone knows everyone." Amy shrugged, with Rory nodding along next to her (everyone certainly knew Amy at least).

The Doctor tosses Amy an apple – one with a face carved in it, still fresh.

DOCTOR: I'm the Doctor. I'm a time traveller. Everything I told you twelve years ago is true. I'm real. What's happening in the sky is real, and if you don't let me go right now, everything you've ever known is over.

"You're so dramatic." River shook her head, but the fondness was clear in her voice. The group had perked up upon seeing the familiar apple, it was certainly good proof he was who he said he was, but Amy didn't look like the kind to just believe.

"But you love me anyway." The Doctor smiled, utterly besotted.

"Unfortunately." River teased while Amy rolled her eyes at her daughter's (equally) dramatic habits.

Amy doesn't believe him, the Doctor tells her to believe for twenty minutes, Amy unlocks the car asking what they're going to do

The group grinned at seeing Amy relent and free the Doctor, now they could finally start saving the world. Amy smiled softly mostly to herself, she hadn't been lying to the Doctor earlier, she didn't regret travelling with her, and she was very glad she had believed him then.

The Doctor declares to stop the nurse, running until he reaches Rory and grabs his phone, asking why when the sun is going out, he's photographing a man and his dog

"Oh." Ryan muttered having, like most of the room, finally figure out the reason the Doctor had been so focused on Rory. Rory was watching interested, things were making a lot more sense now seeing the full story. He was glad he'd helped save the world, even unintentionally as it had been.

Rory greets Amy, Amy introduces Rory as a friend, Rory corrects her to boyfriend, which Amy only semi-agrees with

Amy smiled at Rory who just sighed at his wife's behaviour, she really didn't change. The Doctor and River smiled fondly at the age-old dynamic between the pair, they were used to it, and it wasn't odd to them as much as it was to the rest of the group. The others in the room however were shifting a bit uncomfortable, especially Rose and Mickey, it was a tad too like their situation to be comfortable, but clearly, there much have been something different seeing as the pair were happily married.

Rory works out who he is, as the Doctor asks him to answer his question. Rory is shocked as he was only a story and game

"A game? Does everyone in the town know about the Doctor?" Clara laughed.

"Everyone knew about Amy, so everyone knew about her 'imaginary friend'" Rory shrugged with a small grin, he hadn't appreciated the danger they'd all been in at that moment, more focussed on the Doctor's sudden appearance. The rest of the group was chuckling while Amy glared at her husband.

Rory finally answers the Doctor's question – he's photographing the man and dog because he's in a hospital in a coma. The Doctor says the words alongside him

"If you knew, why did you ask?" Martha sighed; the Doctor really did never change.

"I needed the confirmation." The Doctor shrugged with a smile.

The Doctor had worked it out, as the multiform needs a live feed with a living but dormant mind. Prisoner Zero arrives and the man's face barks at them. Rory is confused that there's a Prisoner Zero too

The room grinned at Rory's bewilderment and Amy's annoyance; it was weird to think about the Doctor being someone's childhood 'imaginary friend' in a way, but it was certainly fun to watch the group's early dynamics. Although they were all still a bit nervous about the danger evolving. River was enjoying the video the most, she'd been told the story several times, but it was a whole other thing to actually see the story play out like this.

One of the spaceships come down (giant eyeball looking thing), and the Doctor explains its scanning for non-terrestrial technology. The Doctor uses his sonic (distinctly non-terrestrial) to make streetlights explode, car alarms go off, a woman's mobility scooter speeds off, and even a fire engine runs by on its own

"Doctor!" Several people berated upon seeing the poor woman in the mobility scooter lose control of it. The Doctor held her hands up in surrender.

The Doctor declares he thinks someone will notice, then his screwdriver explodes and the spaceship retreats as the Doctor shouts for it to come back as Prisoner Zero is there

"I don't think they're gonna hear ya, Doc." Graham announced, mixed between entertained at the events and concerned over the still present danger and time limit. The Doctor just sighed; she'd been so frustrated by her sonic dying at the worst moment.

Prisoner Zero leaves down a drain, as Amy points out what it did

"Literally going done the drain." Bill snorted at the odd sight.

The Doctor explains its hiding in human form, and they need to force it into the open with no screwdriver, no Tardis and only seventeen minutes. In the coma ward, Ramsden is talking to the patient – Barney – whose shaking as the multiform slithers into an air vent above Barney's bed

The group watched the video, tensions rising again, as everything seemed almost hopeless, and time was continuing to count down. They had no clue how the three had managed to stop the world getting incinerated in less than twenty minutes, but they must have seeing as the world hadn't ended then and everyone was alive.

Amy comments on it living in her house for twelve years. The Doctor says multiform can love for millennia, and Amy points out its suspicious that the Atraxi shows up again the same time he did. The Doctor explains the Atraxi were following him as they saw him in the crack and got a fix on him while looking for Prisoner Zero – they're late because he is

"I guess that's kinda good in a way, bar the multiform living in the house for that time. I mean, at least you didn't have to deal with this when you were seven." Yaz debated. The group was just glad for finally getting that explanation.

Rory asks what he's talking about, confused about how the Doctor's real as he was just a game from when they were kids, and Amy used to make him dress up as the Doctor. The Doctor demands his phone

The group started chuckling at that while both Amy and Rory groaned in embarrassment this time, they'd never thought anyone else would learn about their games about the Doctor when they were kids but now the whole room new and the Doctor was grinning wildly. Mickey and Graham were nodding in commiseration with poor Rory's bewilderment at the whole situation, they hadn't believed either but still gotten dragged into everything anyway.

The Doctor flicks through the photos on his phone, asking if they're all coma patients – the Doctor corrects him that they're all disguises for Prisoner Zero. Amy questions the dog with the Barney disguise

"Good question, what is with the dog?" Rose announced, pointing first at Amy then at the Doctor in search of an answer.

The Doctor explains the coma patient dreams he's walking a dog so Prisoner Zero gets a dog. The Doctor then demands a laptop, asking Amy's friend's name – not Rory, the good-looking one. Rory isn't impressed, he's even less impressed when Amy immediately says Jeff

There were snickers at the exchange as well as a few pitying looks at Rory who just sighed, far too used to the pair doing that to him. Amy just grabbed his hand and squeezed it with a smile, she didn't need to say anything for him to know how much she loved him.

The Doctor needs Jeff's laptop, telling Amy and Rory to get to the hospital and clear the whole floor and phone him when they're done. Rory is still confused by everything as Amy pushes him to his car

The group watched with grins at Rory was still utterly bemused by the whole situation but still went along with Amy while the Doctor ran off, the group was finally starting to look like they may actually save the day (thankfully).

Jeff is lounging on his bed with his laptop. The Doctor appears and demands the laptop, Jeff protests. The Doctor takes the laptop and sees what Jeff was looking at before telling him to get a girlfriend

The group burst out laughing at that, especially Amy and Rory who knew Jeff personally.

"You kinda deserve that Doctor for just bursting in and grabbing his laptop." Jack grinned while the Doctor nudged him in the side.

Mrs Angelo enters asking what he's doing. The Doctor explains the sun's gone wonky so there's a big conference call somewhere with all the world's experts panicking, and they need him. He finds the call, pointing out NASA, Jodrell Bank, Tokyo Space Centres, and Patrick Moore. Mrs Angelo likes Patrick Moore, and the Doctor says he'll get her his number

"Of course, you've met him." Mickey shook his head, who hadn't the Doctor met?

Jeff says he can't hack onto a call like that, the Doctor disagrees and does just that – he shows them his psychic paper as Patrick Moore asks who he is

"How are you going to convince them you are trying to help?" Clara raised an eyebrow to which the Doctor just grinned and wiggled her eyebrows making Clara sigh fondly.

The Doctor says hello and says to watch before they turn him off. He shows them Fermat's Theorem with real proof, never seen before. Then why electrons have mass, and other things. He tells them whoever he is, he's a genius and to look at the sun – they need all the help they can get so pay attention

The group watched with growing grins as the Doctor eased into their usual style and wowed a group of professionals all in search of saving the day in their typical (dramatic) fashion. It lifted their hearts to see the familiar behaviour even in a different face. Amy and Rory watched with wide grins, they'd missed this part of the adventure (although Jeff had mentioned what had happened) and it was great to finally see it.

Elsewhere, Amy and Rory run into the hospital. ON the call, the NASA representative asks the Doctor what he's doing. The Doctor explains he's writing a computer virus on his phone which he is going to send to all their computers, telling them to send it everywhere, asking if they have any questions

"A computer virus? How is that going to help?" Martha asked bewildered, it didn't seem very relevant to catching Prisoner Zero and stopping the Atraxi.

"You'll see." The Doctor answered with a proud grin. Amy and Rory who knew what the virus did were grinning along too, glad to be in the know for once.

Patrick Moore asks who his lady friend was as the Doctor tells him to behave. Another man on screen asks what the virus does, and the Doctor explains it's a reset command which will get into the Wi-Fi and reset every counter it can – clocks, calendars etc all will default to zero at the exact same time. He adds he could be lying and why should they trust him, but he'll let his best man explain – then whispering to Jeff he's his best man

"You're going to get their attention. Tell them where Prisoner Zero is." Bill declared, eyes wide in realisation. The Doctor nodded proudly with a large smile.

The Doctor tells Jeff, that in ten minutes he's going to be a legend and everyone on the screen will be offering him any job he likes, but first he needs to be brilliant an get them to trust him and get them working. Jeff asks why him, and the Doctor points out its him bedroom, now go. He runs out as Jeff gets ready to start, the Doctor pops back in to tell him to delete his internet history

The group chuckled at the last comment but were still mostly riding high on the Doctor's little speech. Having the Doctor's attention on you like that was an amazing thing and had inspired so many people over the years to do amazing things. Even those like Jeff who only briefly met the Doctor, they certainly left a lasting impression.

At the hospital, Rory realises something has happened as they can't get through, he suggests calling the Doctor. Amy does and tells him the situation, the Doctor tells her to look in the mirror. Amy remembers she's wearing a police uniform, asking if the Doctor's on his way and saying he'll need a vehicle

"Good thing you're still dressed like a police officer." Yaz grinned, she didn't mind having the uniform abused like that for extreme situations like this, there wasn't much more extreme adventures than the world almost ending (again). Amy grinned back; it was good to have her old job be useful for other things for once.

The Doctor has commandeered a vehicle – a fire engine

"You're such a child." River laughed upon seeing her wife on the fire engine. The rest of the group was also lasting, none of them could deny that childish urge that said it looked like fun.

Amy and Rory are in the hospital and run into the coma ward which is a mess. A woman with two girls meets them and starts saying there was a man with a dog, and Ramsden and the nurses are dead

The group looked down for a minute for the people who had died off screen because of Prisoner Zero. Rory was lucky, in a way, that he'd been sent home earlier. The group was all anxious to see how the final confrontation was going to end as time was still running out and they hadn't even found Prisoner Zero.

Amy calls the Doctor and tells him they're in but so is Prisoner Zero. The Doctor tells her to get out of there and the mother keeps speaking but its not actually the mother who is speaking

"Prisoner Zero's changed his appearance." Rose muttered worried, reaching the same conclusion as the rest of the room and Amy and Rory on screen. That was not good.

It's the kid with an adult's voice. Amy and Rory back away and Prisoner Zero realises they have the voices wrong again, opening their mouth to reveal their sharp teeth

"Fair reaction mate." Mickey nodded in commiseration to Rory who sighed, glad there were some semi-sane people in the room. He'd seen a lot since Prisoner Zero, but the alien hadn't been a nice or gentle introduction to all of time and space.

Doctor asks Amy what is happening over the phone. Amy and Rory run and bar the doors of the hospital wand with a broom

"They're a bit busy to spend time chatting, Doctor." Donna said, eyes never leaving the screen.

Amy explains they're in the hospital ward but Prisoner Zero is getting in. The Doctor asks what window they are to Amy's confusion

"You're not-?" Jack asked but his grin was growing on his face. The Doctor's answering grin told him all he needed to know, and he burst out laughing.

Amy tells him which window as the broom gives up and Prisoner Zero gets in. Prisoner Zero talks about watching Amy grown up, waiting for her magical Doctor to return but he won't this time. Amy gets a text from the Doctor saying to duck, which they do just in time for the fire engine ladder to crash through the window and the Doctor enters. He asks if he's late before answering himself – they have three minutes left

"Three minutes!" Martha blinked. "Cutting it a bit close Doctor." The Doctor shrugged; three minutes was nothing.

Prisoner Zero asks what his plan is, calling him a Time Lord

"Great, it knows what you are. That's usually never a good thing." Nardole grumbled.

"Shut up Nardole."

The Doctor tells Zero to take off its disguise and the Atraxi will find it, and no one dies. Zero argues the Atraxi will kill him, and if he is to die then let them all burn. The Doctor points out it came to Earth via opening a crack in space and time and to do the same to leave, Zero says they didn't open the crack

The group shifted suddenly uncomfortable, the feeling of something being wrong hit them full force. The crack was important for some reason and not in a good way.

The Doctor points out someone opened the cracks. Zero mocks the Doctor about not knowing where the cracks came from, before adding the universe is cracked, the Pandorica will open, and silence will fall

"What does that mean? Doctor, what does that mean?" Jack asked, tone suddenly serious. He'd heard a few rumours (it was hard not to) but nothing concrete and the things he had heard was worrying.

"It's okay Jack, we dealt with it all." The Doctor answered, equally serious. Her face was troubled, and her hands were fussing with her trousers.

"Doctor-."

"Leave it, Jack." The Doctor shared a long look with Amy, Rory and River they'd dealt with the cracks, the Pandorica and the Silence but all had been painful and brought up bad memories that none of them were prepared to get into at the moment. If it was important, it would be shown.

The Doctor ignores Zero, declaring they're off. The clocks all say 0:00. The Doctor explains that his team are working and spreading the word all over the world – the word being Zero. He suggests the giant spaceship in the sky might take that hint and be able to track the computer virus back to the source – the source which is the phone in his hand

"Clever." River smiled at her wife who preened at the compliment while the rest of the room snickered at the interaction. None of them would deny there were impressed with the Doctor, but none of them would admit it (t would make her too smug).

A bright light appears outside, and the Doctor declares he thinks they found them. Zero argues the Atraxi are limited and won't be able to detect them while they're in their disguise – they tracked a phone not them

The group who had been finally starting to worry less at the almost clear victory were suddenly concerned again - Zero made a good point.

The Doctor adds his favourite bit – the phone is filled with pictures of Zero and all its disguises which are being uploaded at that minute. He adds he's won with no Tardis, no screwdriver and two minutes to spare, saying 'who da man' before adding he's never going to say that again

"Please never say that again." Clara groaned. The Doctor said a lot of stupid things (like a lot) but there were some limits.

"Don't worry, no plans to." The Doctor smiled. The group was finally starting to feel like the situation was coming to an end, Prisoner Zero seemed trapped with no escape and in time just about.

Zero says they'll take a new form, and the Doctor argues it can't as it would take months to form a psychic link. Zero says they had years, and Amy collapses as the Doctor begs Amy to stay awake and hold on. Zero transforms into a gangly man with ripped shirt and floppy hair, and the Doctor is confused about who it is supposed to be (him)

The group had leaned forward in their seats as Prisoner Zero took the Amy and the Doctor's form feeling like they really should have expected s twist like this at the last minute. They were all glancing between the group on screen and in the room worried.

At the Doctor's words they all turned to face her confused. "Did you not know what you looked like?" Bill blinked; head tilted in confusion.

"Hadn't exactly had a chance to look in the mirror yet. Bit busy with the world almost ending." The Doctor pointed out. The group nodded their concession to that point.

Rory points out its him, and the Doctor asks if that's what he looks like, Rory is confused about him not knowing

"Bet that confused you." Graham nodded. The Doctor's comments about being a man had confused him upon their first meeting, he couldn't imagine how confusing this had all been for Rory who thought the Doctor was Amy's imaginary friend.

Doctor says it's been a busy day before asking why him if Zero is linked to Amy. Little Amelia comes out to hold Zero's hand saying it's not mimicking the Doctor but Amy who's still a child inside dreaming of the magic Doctor to save her. The Doctor argues she's dreaming if him because she can hear them, telling Amy to listen and remember the room in her house that she couldn't see and what she saw when she went inside, and to dream about that

The group was leaning forward in their seats as the tension increased once again, they were reaching the end (they hoped, they weren't sure what else could go wrong) and things were finally starting to look hopeful again.

Zero transforms to a perfect replica of their real form, the Atraxi locate Xero and Zero warns the Doctor silence will fall before they disappear

The room let out cheers at seeing Prisoner Zero disappear, glad that was dealt with finally, although they were all a bit unnerved by Zeros' last words, they really didn't like the sound of this Silence.

Rory points out the sun is back to normal which is good, as things are over, right? Amy wakes up asking what happened, as Rory tells her the Doctor did it. The Doctor says he didn't

"Eh, yes you did?" Rose argued, looking as confused as most of the group. Amy and Rory just rolled their eyes knowing what was coming next. The Doctor waved to the screen in answer to Rose's question.

Rory asks what he's doing, and the Doctor tells him he's tracking the signal back saying sorry in advance for the phone bill. The Doctor phones the Araxi citing article fifty-seven of the Shadow Proclamation, saying Earth is a fully established level five planet which they threatened to burn. He asks if they thought no one was watching, telling them to come back.

RORY: Did he just bring them back? Did he just save the world from aliens and then bring all the aliens back again?

There was a burst of laughter at Rory's summary of the situation and appropriate disbelief, both Mickey and Graham were nodding in commiseration once again. The rest of the group was grinning, bursting with excitement for the interaction they knew was about to come.

The Master, in his little corner, rolled his eyes at the Doctor's dramatics. Of course, he wasn't going to let anyone get away with threatening to burn his favourite little planet. He would never admit it but he was enjoying the chance to get to see the Doctor's faces he hadn't met properly (during his time as O didn't count) as annoying as it was to watch her with all the annoying human pets. He was justifying his enjoyment of the videos as a chance for information gathering (who was he kidding).

Amy asks where the Doctor is going – the roof, but first the locker room where he steals some clothes saying he's saving the world, so he needs a descent shirt. Goodbye raggedy, time for a show

The group watched excitement building. Several of them suddenly thought back to the group's comments about stealing clothes from a hospital which made a lot more sense now.

Rory is still stunned about the fact the Doctor summoned aliens back to Earth- real, deadly aliens – then he sees the Doctor taking his clothes off, and tells Amy about it

The room burst out laughing at poor Rory who couldn't seem to catch a break. Rory just groaned at his panic and the embarrassment at the Doctor undressing while Amy cackled.

The Doctor tells him to turn round if it embarrasses him. Rory asks if he's stealing clothes now, pointing out they belong to people. He then turns to Amy asking if she'd not going to turn around – she's not

That made the group laugh all the more, they were enjoying the dynamic between the three. It was an odd dynamic, but it did seem to work for them somehow.

On the roof the Doctor is wearing a new shirt with several ties around his neck as the Atarxi hover overhead. Amy asks if it was a good idea as they were leaving. The Doctor says leaving is good but never coming back is better, before turning to the Atraxi and declaring the Doctor will see them now

"How long have you been wanting to say that?" Clara sighed, shaking her head at his antic fondly. She was enjoying seeing her first Doctor again, as attached as she had gotten to her second. It was nice to see how he had regenerated and met Amy and Rory, but she couldn't help but compare it to his regeneration into Eyebrows with her.

"Who says I haven't before?" The Doctor grinned which only made Clara sigh louder.

The main Atraxi (giant eyeball thing) drops to the roof and scans the Doctor declaring him not from Earth, the Doctor agrees but says he put a lot of work into it, before focusing on which tie looks best

The group just sighed collectively at the Doctor's split focus. Though, truthfully, none of them were fooled, as distracted by the ties as the Doctor seemed, they all knew he was focused on the threat of the Atraxi.

The Atraxi ask if the world is important, and the Doctor counters with there's six billion people there but better question is if Earth is a threat to the Atraxi, reminding them they're monitoring the whole planet

The group watched excited and eager to see wat would happen. They could feel a speech coming and the Doctor's speeches were always dramatic but brilliant. The Atraxi had said something stupid and they were eager to see the Doctor deal with them.

The Atraxi says they aren't, so the Doctor asks if they've committed any crimes by the laws of the Atraxi, which is also a no
DOCTOR: Okay. One more. Just one. Is this world protected? Because you're not the first lot to come here. Oh, there have been so many.
(The projection shows the Daleks et al.)
DOCTOR: And what you've got to ask is, what happened to them?
(A run through of all the previous Doctors, then this Doctor steps through the projection with a jacket and bow tie.)
DOCTOR: Hello. I'm the Doctor. Basically, run.

"You're so dramatic." River announced but she was grinning wildly, just like most of the room. There was a reason so many people knew, loved or feared the Doctor. Seeing the Doctor like that was always a dramatic affair and so interesting and exciting to watch. Amy and Rory shared a glance, that had been their first proper introduction to the Doctor, was it really hard to believe they'd chosen to go with him?

The eyeball goes back to its ship, and they leave very quickly. The Doctor takes a glowing Tardis key out of his pocket as Amy asks if they're gone for good. The Doctor is already running out the hospital

"Doctor, you can't just run off like that!" Donna berated. The Doctor was good at running; to, from and into trouble but this was an extreme. He hadn't even answered any questions!

Amy grumbled, shooing a glare at the Doctor who offered an apologetic smile, she'd been really late – twice.

Back in Amy's garden, the Tardis is waiting for him. He asks what she has in store for him before looking round the new interior, which he definitely likes

The group watched the Doctor's expression upon seeing the Tardis, a bit frustrated to not get to see the new model themselves yet.

Amy and Rory arrive just in time to see it dematerialise

"Did you seriously leave without answering any questions or saying anything?!" Martha exclaimed, narrowing her eyes at the Doctor who looked very sheepish and guilty.

"Maybe?"

Some time later, at night, the sound of the Tardis wakes Amy up and she runs outside. The Doctor is standing by the Tardis and apologises for running off, but he got excited with the new Tardis, he hoped to the moon and back but she's ready for bigger now. Amy is stunned he came back

Clara glanced between the screen and group in the room before reaching a conclusion and turning to the Doctor to ask, "How long were you gone this time?"

The Doctor shrunk down in her seat a bit at the room's sudden attention on her, but she waved to the screen instead of answering.

The Doctor says he always comes back and asks if there's something wrong with that. Amy points out he kept the clothes he stole, the Doctor says he just saved the world again so yeah, sue him, he kept the clothes

"You have a massive wardrobe, but kept the clothes you stole from a hospital?" Rory pointed out with a raised eyebrow.

"I liked them." The Doctor shrugged, unrepentant.

The Doctor declares bow ties are cool after Amy comments on it

"No, they are not." Amy snorted, making the Doctor pout.

Amy asks if he's from another planet, and just accepts it when he says he is

"You're taking that very calmly." Rose smiled at the red head.

"Him being an alien made sense, and it didn't seem very crazy compared to everything else that happened that day." Amy shrugged but smiled proudly of herself.

The Doctor asks if she wants to travel with him, check out some other planets. Amy asks where, and the Doctor says wherever she likes. Amy informs him all the stuff with Prisoner Zero happened two years ago

"Two years!" Yaz blinked. "You're really bad at arriving back on time." The Doctor just pouted while the rest of the group grinned at the truth in Yaz's words.

The Doctor apologises for Amy's fourteen total years waiting, saying she's waited enough, asking if she'll come. Amy says no

The room blinked at that, for some reason they'd always thought everyone said yes straight away and yet they'd seen Rose say no first and now Amy, plus Donna had admitted to saying no the first time too and the current fam hadn't planned to travel with the Doctor originally but instead got taken along by accident. Rory especially was a bit shocked; he hadn't realised that Amy had originally said no.

The Doctor pointed out she wanted to come fourteen years ago and Amy argues she grew up. The Doctor says he'll fix that, opening the door and letting Amy in

"You're going anyway." Bill grinned, seeing Amy go in despite her words.

"Of course, I am." Amy grinned.

She takes in the new Tardis interior

The group watched fascinated at seeing yet another model of the Tardis, all doing the traditional thing of comparing it with the one they'd known. Amy and Rory grinned widely at seeing their version of the Tardis, although they were still annoyed at the Doctor's disappearance act (again).

The Doctor asks if she has any comments saying he's heard it all. Amy declares she's in her nightie

The group laughed at their subversion of the expected comments, they hadn't even really realised that Amy was in her nightie. Amy blushed at that comment, unable to forget that during their first proper adventure on Starship UK she'd still been wearing her nightie.

The Doctor tells her not to worry as there is plenty f clothes in the wardrobe. He then asks with all of space and time, where does she want to start. Amy states he's convinced she's coming, asking why. The Doctor says she's a Scottish girl in an English village and he knows how that feels

The group glanced at the Doctor concerned but the Doctor's eyes were determinedly focused on the screen, not looking away to meet their concerned gazes. There were so many layers to that comment, and no one was prepared to start peeling away at them quite yet.

Amy watched the Doctor for several minutes, she really hadn't understood how much the Doctor understood back then, it was only now looking back with all the information she had that she really got it.

The Doctor adds despite how long she's lived in England she still has her own accent, so she's absolutely coming. Amy asks if he can get her back for tomorrow morning. The Doctor declares it's a time machine so he can get her back for five minutes ago, asking what is tomorrow. Amy refuses to answer, saying there's nothing on

The group all narrowed their eyes at Amy, that comment and then the denial was suspicious to say the least. Now it was Amy's turn to avoid everyone's eyes. Rory squeezed their hands which were still joined, he knew what tomorrow was, but they'd discussed and gotten over that mess a long time ago, they trusted and loved each other.

A new sonic arises from a slot in the console and he thanks the Tardis, typing away on an old typewriter which is a part of the console

The group grinned at seeing the Doctor get a new screwdriver and happily typing away on the console like normal, it was a very familiar movement even if both the Doctor and the Tardis had a different appearance.

Amy asks why her, the Docter counters why not. She presses the question, and the Doctor counters does he really need a reason? Amy points out people always have reasons; the Doctor asks if he looks like people – to which Amy answers yes

The room watched quietly as Amy countered the Doctor well for having just met them, usually it was a skill that took them a while to learn – when to chase answers and when to let things go. They couldn't deny they were also curious – why any of them? Was it really just they were there at the perfect moment? Or was it something more? After all the Doctor met a lot of people but not many travelled with them.

The Doctor declares he's been running around on his own for a bit, by his own choice, but he's started talking to himself all the time and it's starting to annoy even him. Amy asks if it's just because he's lonely, the Doctor promises it is

Amy narrowed her eyes at that, sensing it wasn't the complete truth now that she knew the Doctor better. Oh, she didn't think he was lying, just that he wasn't telling the full truth. But did it really matter in the end?

DOCTOR: So, are you okay, then? Because this place, sometimes it can make people feel a bit, you know.
AMY: I'm fine. It's just, there's a whole world in here, just like you said. It's all true. I thought. Well, I started to think that maybe you were just like a madman with a box.
DOCTOR: Amy Pond, there's something you'd better understand about me, because it's important, and one day your life may depend on it. I am definitely a madman with a box. Ha ha! Yeah. Goodbye Leadworth, hello everything.

The group grinned at the Doctor's acknowledgment, excited to see the start of the Doctor and Amy's adventures. Amy and the Doctor shared a smile, both thinking back to all the great adventures they'd been on, things they'd done and seen when it was just the two of them.

The Tardis takes flight, and we get a glimpse in Amy's bedroom where a wedding dress and veil are hanging on the back of the door

"You were getting married!" Several people exclaimed, the comment about being back for tomorrow suddenly making a lot more sense.

Amy just shrugged but had a small smile on her face at their shock while Rory just sighed exasperated with his wife. "Yes, I got back in time don't worry." Amy answered knowing full well that wasn't what the group had been asking and enjoying the power she suddenly had.

The Doctor just shook her head at Amy's antics before drawing the group's attention to herself. "Well, that was fun. Everyone ready to see what's up next?"
