CANON REVIEW; very early in: The Beast Below.

[fairytaled]

Things turned out alright, didn't they? The children cried and miracle saved, all the good stuff.

[ "Tomorrow," he said. T o m o r r o w. Tomorrow is another delay for the big W day. ]

What's that, now you're just teasing with this know it alllllll business. Something you're not—fess up!

[Why would you want to hold off marrying this lovely face, Amy? Look at it.]

Sorry--when did this happen?

1/3.

[fairytaled]

[ Oh. ]

[fairytaled]

[ Oh. ]

[fairytaled]

Hey there, hey. Hey! Rory!

[ Just going to reach for an awkward fist bump to the shoulder. You know how that works. ]

About a... minute ago, yeah? [ Insert a thoughtful squint and shrug. Shrugging off that thought bubble of yours, you didn't say the 'W' word, she won't say the 'W' word. Everyone wins, the end. ] All this... time stuff, it's a bit wack.

[timesnewroman]

[Oh, well, yeah, I mean it's the only real sign of affection you ever show, Amy. He just...takes that fist bump for what it is without so much of a smile. Look what you've done, Amy. He's sad now.]

Yeah. Alright. Didn't...think to invite me, then? I mean, you did make me dress up as him...

[fairytaled]

[ Prepare for the Amy squintTOO LATE, THERE WE GO. We don't discuss the childhood nonsense, Rory. That is the rule of the Tardis Club. ]

I did say it was time stuff, it's like I would have never been gone. Really. Pop out, pop back in.

[timesnewroman]

[He can handle the squint! And, what--no, it isn't. It's practically common knowledge. Even the Doctor knows it. He only dressed up as your raggedy Doctor because he's loved you forever, Amy.]

Right, but what if you don't pop back in? He seems...awfully easy to just pop out with and skip the pop back in bit.

[fairytaled]

[ And that's why the Doctor has been given the boot. President and only member. Please wait five months before resending your application. ]

Time machine. Time machine.

[timesnewroman]

[Oh. I. Okay.]

Yes, look, I know. A time machine that may not bring you back.

[fairytaled]

[ Don't make that face. It hurts a little. ]

I do come back, don't I? You know more than you are letting on.

[timesnewroman]

[But his heart hurts too. He gets concerned, Amy, but he also knows he can't win an argument with you, even if he disagrees.]

Yeah...right, I suppose. You're all right, then? And..why did children cry? You didn't lose your temper with them, did you? [You wouldn't.]

[fairytaled]

[ She feels it in her gut. That little nag reminding her there is something to be done. Not so much 'nag' as it is a lingering guilt; maybe fear. And it isn't an errand, but marriage. He proposed, after all. She said "yes," after all. Amy Pond can walk along the stars as long as she wants, leaving her pond life behind ( a pond in which there are no ducks ). She won't be sitting. Waiting.

All of this has to do with waiting, but now she is the one stalling.

Keeping Rory Williams in the dark.

That feeling gets pushed further and further back, cloaked with the bit of irritation for his comment. ] Oy.

[metacrisisnoble]

Are you sure you want to do that? Spoilers ruin all the fun

[fairytaled]

[ She rolls back her shoulders while gnawing at the inside of her cheek, look of child being "tough." ]

I'm sure I could take it. Not exactly fun knowing someone is holding back the goods on you.

[metacrisisnoble]

That's the best thing about time travel, though. It all comes to you eventually. Maybe sooner than you think.

[fairytaled]

I suppose.

[ Crinkles her nose, realization giving her a light punch on the face. ]

That means, you... ? You.

[comeonthensexy]

Oh. Oh, oh, oh, when is this? There's always a lot of saving.

[fairytaled]

We've only just started!

[ —Forgetting that Prisoner Zero business. ]

The Star Whale, Doctor. [ Her lips curve into a knowing smile, tapping at the side of her head. Tap. Tap. Tap. ] Bells ringing?

[comeonthensexy]

[jkffh oh, that is early. Spreads arms out.]

The star whale! That turned out more than all right, Amy Pond, you brilliant girl.
