Wild applause erupted around them as the now younger man congratulated himself at his achievement. Amanda looked on and tried to catch the duo's attention, but they were too focus on the issue on hand.

"He did it. He actually did it." Lady Thaw said, happy at the result. Amanda let the older woman walk off before trying proceeded to try and walk to the Doctor and Martha, but she was stopped by photographers and interviewers/paparazzi, causing her to stop in her pursuit of them. She internally felt frustrated but she made sure to smile and pose when needed too, along with answering the target questions of the interviewers; who seemed to know something that she didn't.

"Hey Amanda, rumors are swirling about your mysterious past. Can you tell us more about what you went through before becoming a star? We've heard whispers about amnesia. Any truth to that?" an interviewer asked her, having their notebook and pen out at the ready. 

Amanda nodded, though she felt herself tense up a bit. She never revealed to the public about her amnesia, just that she was in an accident before becoming a singer, she wondered where they must of gotten that sort of information but kept calm. "I did have amnesia." she revealed, photographers eagerly taking pictures of her as journalist wrote down what she had jus said. "I have to admit that it was pretty difficult, but I met so many people that I now consider family and closer friends that it didn't affect me as much." she lied with a grand smile. "Though I am happy to reveal that I do have my memories back and have reconnected with my past, now I am looking forward to my future." she told everyone. 

"Hey, Amanda, we heard you've been spending a lot of time with Harold Saxon. Are you two dating? Can you give us the inside scoop?" an interviewer asked her but before Amanda could answer, someone else butted in. 

"Fans are dying to know about your relationship with Harold Saxon. Can you tell us how you met and what your future plans are together?" someone in the crowd asked her. 

"Rumors are swirling about you and Harrold Saxon. Is it official? When's the wedding?" a paparizzi asked as the crowd swarmed around her. 

Amanda shot him a confused smile, her and Harry were close, but they weren't engaged, hell they weren't even dating. "Harry and I met first met at the hospital I was sent to, we started talking and quickly became friends. I am very glad to have him in my life and I must report that we are not together, now if you excuse me." she said, walking away from the crowd; not noticing a smirking Harold Saxon walking over to the crowd. 

"It can't be the same guy. It's impossible. It must be a trick." Martha said as Amanda walked over to her and the Doctor, both not noticing the now ravenette by their side.

"Oh, it's not a trick. I wish it were." The Doctor said grimly.

"What just happened then?" Martha asked the Doctor.

"He just changed what it means to be human." Amanda said to them, making herself known to Martha and the Doctor, who jumped slightly at her sudden appearance.

"Amanda!" Martha shouted, bringing the now dark-haired girl into her arms. Amanda returned the hug, squeezing Martha. "You would think we haven't seen each other in years." Martha said, laughing at how tight Amanda was hugging her.

"Seconds without you is like years without rain or sunlight darling." Amanda replied as she let go of Martha before awkwardly shooting the Doctor a look. "Weren't you supposed to have left?" she asked, fiddling with her hands behind her back; trying to calm the awkwardness she was experiencing inside.

"Well, I came back because of Lazarus." The Doctor explained, also behaving awkwardly. He looked away sheepishly at the woman in front of him, not being able to fully face her. The two did not know what to say or do with each other, not knowing where they stood with everything. The Doctor wanted to apologize again but he didn't want to push while Amanda just couldn't understand which side she wanted to give into; one side she labels as alien side, which wants to forgive the Doctor and catch up on her old life or the other side which she labels human side, which wants to continue living as a human and ignore all the new knowledge she was presented with. It was an ongoing battle and yet every time she thought she had made up her mind, something changed it.
