Chapter 8: The Year 2010

I can’t remember what I had been dreaming about, all I remembered was Amy calling my name. It was getting louder and louder until it was so loud that it woke me from my sleep. I sat up, and Amy was sitting at my feet. We were in the TARDIS, and she was safe.

“Did you have to wake me like that?” I asked, realizing that the Amy from my dreams was actually just real Amy calling for me to wake up. But there was no reason for her to be scared here. She’d seemed much more terrified in the dream.

“What? Did you want me to wake you up gently?” Amy smiled.

“That would be nice.”

The TARDIS began to move.

“Where are we going? I thought we were staying to investigate,” I asked.

“We are, but if Moriarty went through all the work to send the signal to the TARDIS then he knows who I am and wants me to come to him. So we have to go to a time where he has no idea who I am,” The Doctor explained.

Amy placed a slip of paper into her book and closed it, “Sounds good. So what time are we going to exactly?” she asked, getting up and standing beside the Doctor.

“I’m thinking the year 2010. Great year. He shouldn’t have any idea who I am as long as we remember not to go any earlier than that,” The Doctor said.

“Why so late?” I asked. I’d expected it to be something like 2000 when there was no reason for us to need to go any earlier.

“If we go in January 2010, that was just before he began to go after Sherlock. He’ll have everything planned out by then, but he’ll have done just enough as well,” he explained.

“What else did I miss?” I asked.

“Well, we went to tomorrow morning and Amy read her boring book and I fixed the projector!” The Doctor said excitedly.

“The TARDIS has a projector?” The Doctor ignored me.

 “When you step out those doors it will be 2010!” The Doctor said excitedly.

“The year you came back for me,” Amy smiled.

“It also happened to be our wedding year,” I added.

“I was about to say that.”

Amy and I followed the Doctor out of the TARDIS. We were on a long street with huge houses. Some rich people must’ve lived here.

“Where are we?” I asked.

“Slater Road,” The Doctor said, “The richest street in London. I used have mates who lived here.”

“So what are we looking for?” Amy asked.

“There was rumors going around that Moriarty was working with a Sebastian Moran and this is where Sebastian Moran lived in 2010,” The Doctor explained.

“Alright, let’s get on with this,” Amy said.

“Geronimo.”

The Doctor led us to house number 26 and he knocked politely on the door. Minutes later a short, chubby man answered the door.

“Hello, we’re here to see Mr. Sebastian Moran. We have and appointment,” the Doctor said, pulling out his psychic paper.

“Alright, but make it quick. Mr. Moran is very busy,” the short man said and led us inside. We let him get a little ways ahead of us so we could talk in private.
