We were all sitting on different sofas it was the fam and Donna on one then jack mickey and Martha on another then Amy and Rory and river on another then me rose and Clara on the floor on bean bags in front of the ponds couch bill was sitting on her own making me frown all of a suddenly nardole appeared making me snort I introduced everyone to him and vice versa I forced bill and nardole to sit in the two seater near me suddenly the screen lit up and the words power of three appeared making us all frown in confusion and then it started talking.
AMY [OC]: Life with the Doctor was like this.
(Lots of flashes of action clips.)
AMY [OC]: Real life was like this.

[Kitchen - July]

(There are 59 messages on the telephone answerphone. Rory it putting clothes from a suitcase into the washing machine while Amy checks the fridge.)
WOMAN [answerphone]: It's Lane's Opticians. Just reminding you your reading glasses are ready for collection. Bye!
AMY: Milk two months out of date. Yogurt.
(It smells and looks so bad she drops it.)
AMY: Eek! Don't ask.
RORY: We've run out of washing tablets.

[Back garden]

RORY: We have two lives. Real life and Doctor life. Except real life doesn't get much of a look in.
AMY: What do we do?
RORY: Choose?
(The sound of a Tardis materialising.)
AMY: Not today, though.
RORY: Nah, not today.
AMY [OC]: Every time we flew away with the Doctor, we'd just become part of his life. But he never stood still long enough to become part of ours. Except once. The year of the slow invasion. The time the Doctor came to stay.
(As Rory and Amy sleep, a black box appears downstairs and floats onto a shelf.)
Do you guys really think that I hold you back I said feeling guilty no Amy said pulling me round to face her you saved my life doctor even if you were quite late but I will never regret going away with you and yes it was hard balancing life and you but we never regretted it raggedy man yeah Rory said leaning closer doctor you showed us things that changed us and you became our best friend our doctor our kid basically and we love you loads we would never regret you I smiled at them before getting up and sitting in between them both hugging my side tightly wait Clara said suddenly with a sly expression you let this idiot stay with you oi I said smiling yeah they were interesting Rory said smirking got bored quick he said laughing excuse me Roman I did your chores because you were bored he said poking me making me pout alright Amy said sternly making us quieten down the tv then resumed.

[Front door]

(Rory and Amy are woken by the doorbell. They look out of their bedroom window.)
RORY: Dad, it's half past six in the morning.
BRIAN: What are you doing lying around? Haven't you seen them?
(He has one of the boxes, and there are lots of them scattered around the street like three inch square black hailstones.)
RORY: What are they?
BRIAN: Nobody knows. They're everywhere.
AMY: Well, where have they come from? Wait.
(A man in a tweed jacket is sitting on top of a child's climbing frame examining a box.)
AMY: Doctor!
DOCTOR: Invasion of the very small cubes. That's new.
(The BBC News channel provides information.)
BBC NEWS: (Matthew Amroliwala) World leaders are appealing for calm.
BBC NEWS: (Joanna Gosling?) After the global appearance of millions of small cubes. Despite official warnings, people have been taking the cubes from the streets into offices and homes.
MATTHEW [on TV]: What are they?
JOANNA [on TV]: Where do they come from?
MATTHEW [on TV]: And why are they here?
PROF BRIAN COX [on TV]: Well, they're certainly not random space debris. They're too perfectly formed for that. Are they extra-terrestrial in origin? Well, you'll have to ask a better man than me.
Suddenly Donna snorted what I said confused facing well your wearing tweed you dive and who the hell where's a bow tie excuse they are cool I said smirking the room burst into fits of laughter making me pout the tv resumed.
