"It's difficult-Brand new me-Nothing works" The Doctor said rambling on.

"Does it ever ?" I ask cocking my eyebrow at him.

"Nothing works yet-But there's something I'm missing-In the corner of my eye" He said, shaking off my sarcastic remark.

I snap my gaze to the window, the TARDIS Cloister Bell rings. I look at The Doctor his expression filled with shock.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" The Doctor said, grabbing my hand and pulling me down the steps, each of his strides more powerful than the last.

"We've got to get back in there-The engines are phasing!" The Doctor said, I let go of his hand catching my breath slightly.

"It's going to burn!" I exclaim, Amelia had just run to meet us in the garden.

"But it's just a box-How can a box have engines ?" Amelia asked confused.

"It's not a box...It's a time machine" I said, Amelia's eyes filled with wonder.

"What, a real one ? You've got a real time machine ?" She asked, looking at the TARDIS smoke rose from inside it.

"Not for much longer if I can't get her stabilised-Five minute hop into the future should do it" The Doctor said looking over the edge and looking at me. I join him at the edge.

"Can I come ?" Amelia asked us, we both looked at each other then at Amelia.

"It's not safe in here..." I said looking at her, The Doctor looked at me an idea turning in his mind.

"Not yet-Five minutes-Give us five minutes, we'll be right back" The Doctor said looking at Amelia.

"People always say that" Amelia said looking at the ground, The Doctor rushed to her side looking at her from a knelt position.

"Am I people ? Do I even look like people ?" The Doctor said standing up, I sat on the edge my legs hanging in. The Doctor turned around "Quiet you..." He said, sitting on the edge of the TARDIS dangling his feet in. Both of our faces baring the same expression. "Trust me-I'm the Doctor," He said looking at her a smile on his face, he grabbed my hand and we both looked down. I held my nose before jumping, with my other hand "Geronimo!" The Doctor said, we both jumped in. I squeezed my eyes shut not wanting to see what's happening.

"Doctor!" I said, clinging to the railings again.

"Yes!" He said, hanging next to me.

"How-are you-going to-fly her ?!" I struggled, still clinging onto the railing looking at the swimming pool. Book pages and other miscellaneous objects swimming within it.

"With," He said lifting himself up and climbing over to the control panel "Immense," He continued reaching for a lever and pushing it "Difficulty" He finished, the TARDIS begins to move and tilt the right way up. Stumbling to my feet, The Doctor slaps himself on the forehead and rushes to the door.

Guess we've made it.

"Amelia! Amelia, I worked out what it was-I know what I was missing! You've got to get out of there!" The Doctor shouts, I stumble out of the TARDIS doors and follow him in hot pursuit "Amelia ? Amelia, are you all right ? Are you there ?" The Doctor's voice rings out. 

I look at the house, finding rusty cupboards and the floorboards slightly creaking beneath my feet.

"Prisoner Zero's here-Prisoner Zero is here! Prisoner Zero is here! Do you understand me ? Prisoner Zero is-" His voice then cuts out, a loud thud comes from upstairs.

"Doctor!" I shout, running up the stairs to find. He's being handcuffed to the radiator at the end of the hall by a policewoman with red hair. She turns around to me and jumps raising her cricket bat and knocking me over the head.

"White male, mid twenties, breaking and entering..." A woman's voice says, I start to waked up rubbing the side of my head.

The woman looks at me and talks into her radio again.

"Mixed female, also mid twenties, breaking and entering-Send me some back up I've got then restrained" She said, The Doctor started to move his wrists also starting to waking up.

"OI! You sit still!" She commanded, The Doctor looking at him her eyes wide.

"Cricket bat-I'm getting cricket bat" The Doctor said, rubbing the side of his head.

"Yeah...man that hurt" I groaned, going to get up but was stopped, I looked at my hand which had also been handcuffed to the radiator. Great. Well, at least it wasn't on.

"You were breaking and entering" The woman stated.

"Well, that's much better-Brand new me-Whack on the head, just what I needed" He said, with a slight tinge of humour.

"Well if that was all you needed I would've done it ages ago" I said jokingly, smiling at him.

"Do you want to shut up now ? I've got back up on the way" The woman said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Hang on, no, wait...You're a policewoman" The Doctor said, looking at her. 

I face palmed and sighed. I know he can be stupid but not this stupid.

"And you're breaking an entering, see how this works!?" The woman replied.

"Where's Amelia ?"The Doctor exclaimed.

"Um Amelia Pond?" A voice asked from behind the policewoman. The Doctor jumped at this. 

"Who's she ?" I asked, looking at the woman who walked around the policewoman making The Doctor roll his eyes and ignore my question. I've seen her before, her face. 

"Yeah, Amelia, Little Scottish girl, where is she ? I promised her 5 minutes but the engines were phasing, I suppose I must've gone a bit far" The Doctor said looking at me as I shrugged my shoulders. The other woman went to open her mouth but the policewoman covered it before she could speak

"Has something happened to her ?" I asked, looking between them.

"Amelia Pond hasn't lived here in a long time" The policewoman answered, the other woman looked over at her confused and moved her hand to speak.

"A-" The policewoman cut her off, covering her mouth again and she rolled her eyes.

"How long ?" The Doctor asked quietly.

"6 months" The policewoman replied. 

I furrowed my eyebrows. No. She can't have the woman and Amelia.

They seem to similar...

"NO! No no, no, I-we can't be six months late, we promised her 5 minutes" The Doctor said with a nervous grin, I looked at him letting out a nervous laugh.

"Doc-" The woman started again but the policewoman cut her off once again, covering her mouth "I GIVE UP!" She exclaimed "Want some tea ?" She asked us, The Doctor and the policewoman shook their heads. 

I found this gesture strange. Two people 'break and enter' into your home and you offer them tea ?

"Yeah...please" I said nervously, she looked at me her expression kind.

"How many sugars ?" She asked walking down the hall to the top of the staircase

"Two please" I said, she gave me a kind smile before walking down the stairs. Her footsteps becoming lighter, with each step she took. 

I feel like I know this woman she seemed oddly familiar. I just couldn't put my finger on it. 

Willow ?
