"Before we leave, can you do something for me?" Elise asked the Doctor. 

Martha had already gone to her room, leaving the two of them in the control room. 

"Yeah, sure. I owe you remember?" he said. 

She'd been incredibly melancholy during this trip and the Daleks hadn't helped. 

Elise walked over to the controls. "Show me which ones", she told the TARDIS. 

Buttons lit up and levers flipped on their own. 

Elise did as the TARDIS showed her and they hopped about 20 years into the future, placing them in 1950's Manhattan. 

That would put them past the paradox Amy and Rory had caused. 

Elise stared at the doors, hoping that she had dropped her where she wanted. 

"Please, please, please", she begged as she opened them. She stepped out into a park. 

"Oi! Come back here!" she heard as a small body crashed into hers. 

"Whoa. Easy there, little guy", Elise said, steadying him. 

"I'm so sorry", the familiar redhead told her. She still had her accent, but there was more grey in her hair than red. 

"It's okay", Elise said. 

"I thought I was the only Paisley in Manhattan", Amy said. 

Elise laughed. "I'm just visiting", Elise told her, which wasn't a complete lie, "I'm traveling". 

"Traveling, eh? I did that when I was younger with the most amazing man in the universe", Amy said. 

Elise smiled. She could practically see the memories flashing across Amy's eyes. "I should probably get back before my companion misses me", Elise said. 

"Have fun and be careful. You never know what kind of trouble men can get you into."

"How did you know it was a guy?" 

"Isn't it always?" Amy turned to leave. 

"A...I mean, miss. What's your son's name?" 

Amy smiled and said, "Eli. We named him after one of our friends."

"And what was their name?"

"Elise. Her name was Elise". 

Elise said goodbye and made her way back to the TARDIS, but not before glancing back and seeing Rory and River. 

River winked at her and turned to talk to Rory. 

Elise smiled and entered the TARDIS.

The Doctor was gone from the control room. 

Elise walked up to the console and flipped a lever, sending them into the vortex to drift. 

Little Amelia Pond, the girl who had shaped this regeneration, had named her son after her. 

She and Rory would live happily ever after. 

Elise just hoped that one day she would have that too.



A scream echoed through the TARDIS. Martha shot up in bed and ran out into the hallway. 

The Doctor was already running down the corridor. 

"What's going on?" she asked. 

"Elise." He ran into her room and found her thrashing around in bed.
