The screen lit up and started

Amy's bedroom]
(1,894 years later... and one star at least is still burning brightly.
Night. The red pinwheel turns in the breeze in the garden. Upstairs, a little red haired girl is saying her prayers.)
AMELIA: Dear Santa. Thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I don't wake you, but, honest, it is an emergency.
I'm sorry why were you praying to Santa at Easter I said making Amy giggle shut up she said blushing wait that you Martha said shocked yeah I met the doctor when I was 7 Amy said I heard people gasp but I grinned at Amy instead
There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know it's not, because at night there's voices. So, please, please, could you send someone to fix it, or a policeman, or
(A strange wind whistles outside.)
AMELIA: Back in a moment.
(She runs to the window, but there is nothing there. The moon hangs in a starless sky.)
I should of been there I muttered to river but you were she said kissing my head
[Living room]

(The nice lady psychiatrist is looking at a painting of the moon and stars.)
CHRISTINE: It's a lovely painting, Amelia. And what are all these?
AMELIA: Stars.
SHARON: Oh, Amelia.
CHRISTINE: Tell you what, shall we go outside?
What a bitch Donna said angrily making Amy smile at her softly
[Outside the house]

CHRISTINE: What do you see, Amelia?
AMELIA: The moon.
CHRISTINE: And what else?
AMELIA: Just the dark.
CHRISTINE: But no stars. If there were stars up there, we'd be able to see them, wouldn't we? Amelia, look at me. You know this is all just a story, don't you? You know there's no such thing as stars.
Liar I muttered making Amy grin
[Amy's bedroom]

(Amy listens to the adult voices downstairs.)
CHRISTINE [OC]: But there's bound to be a bit of her that feels alone. Amelia's a really good person.

[Staircase]

CHRISTINE [OC]: It's quite common, actually. Throughout history, people have talked about seeing stars in the sky. God knows where it comes from.
SHARON [OC]: I just don't want her growing up and joining one of those Star Cults. I don't trust that Richard Dawkins.
(Christine and Sharon walk across the hallway from the kitchen to the living room. Someone in a red fez puts a leaflet through the door.
Could you be anymore inconspicuous river said making me laugh with Clara
Amelia runs down to get it. It is titled The Anomaly, and features the Pandorica at the National Museum. Someone has written on it in red ink - Come along, Pond.)

[National Museum]

AMELIA: Come on, Aunt Sharon.
SHARON: Oh, look at that. That's good, isn't it?
AMELIA: Not that. This way.
SHARON: But we're not looking at anything.
AMELIA: This way!
SHARON: Amelia!
Always hated authority Rory said to Amy I seen her smack him making me grin at them
[Anomaly Exhibition]

(Amelia stops to look at the exhibit of petrified Daleks, then pushes through the people standing looking at the Pandorica. Someone snatches her Original Cola drink from her.
Was that you Clara said making me smirk
Suddenly there is a post-it note on the Pandorica, saying Stick around, Pond.)
SHARON [OC]: Amelia!
(Amelia runs to hide.)
SHARON: Amelia? Amelia?
(Closing time.)
SHARON: Amelia!
TANNOY: Amelia Pond, please go to the reception, please. Your aunt is waiting for you there. Amelia Pond, please go to reception.
(Later still, Amelia creeps out from the Penguin display, knocking some over.)
AMELIA: Sorry.
(She returns to the Pandorica and removes the post-it note. He puts her hand on the Pandorica and starts to open. Amelia backs away. The person inside speaks to her.)
AMY: Okay, kid. This is where it gets complicated.
