The Other Pond

Chapter 1: 12 Years Later

Chapter 1: 12 Years Later

I don't own Doctor Who whatsoever, and just a fan with an idea.

Avery's POV

I just finished the night shift at the building I worked at. I walked out of the secret entrance to our facility. I couldn’t get over the Doctor leaving us 12 years ago, never returning in the 5 minutes he said he would. We ended up waking up in our beds, after falling asleep outside in the yard. I looked at the horizon, the sun was just rising. It was dawn; Amy wouldn’t be up for a few hours.

I walked to the train station, where I waited for the early train. The first train of the day, the train from London to Leadworth, it was tiring taking the train back and forth, and it took almost 3 hours. But that was the HQ, and it had to be in London where it was founded. It was a group that was there to protect Earth from the supernatural, out of world stuff when the Doctor couldn’t.

I sighed as I got out a file that I had to read for work. It was only 6:15am, and it would be an hour before the train arrived at 7:15am. And I would arrive home just after 10. By the time I finished 2 out of 6 files that I had to read, the train arrived and I got on. I showed the conductor my pass, and just sat back for the 2 hours and 43 minutes ride.

2 hours and 43 minutes later…

I finally arrived in front of our home, our home for a long time. Our aunt left a long time ago, and we inherited this house. I unlocked the door before locking it again behind me; I jumped the steps to Amy’s room upstairs. I poked my head into her room and saw that she was still sleeping. I whistled loudly, to which she rolled out of bed spooked. I laughed, and she got up yelling “I’M GONNA KILL YOU AVERY!” I ran off to my room to change out of my work clothes. I slammed my door in her face as she was about to get me. I leaned against my door, as she ran into the door trying to get in. I yelled at her “Go get ready Amy! There’s a guy asking for a policewoman kissogram, remember?”

I heard her make a sound of agreement and walk off. I changed into a t-shirt and sweats, along with Uggs. I threw my hair into a ponytail, and walked into the bathroom while Amy was showering. I took a washcloth, and washed my makeup off. Thankfully yesterday was my last night shift. I left the bathroom to go get myself a snack. I went back upstairs, and Amy walked out of her room fixing her hat.

Then I heard a familiar sound, the sound I had waited for, for 12 years. The TARDIS! I smiled, but couldn’t be sure. I heard yelling downstairs as it headed up stairs, “Amelia! Avery! Are you all right?! Are you there? Prisoner Zero's here.  Prisoner Zero is here!” He held this weird silver thing that made this high-pitch noise to the door in the corner. He added “Prisoner Zero is here! Prisoner Zero's here, do you understand me? Prisoner Zero is...” As Amy hit him with a cricket bat, I gave her an odd look wondering why in the world she hit the Doctor.  I knelt down beside him and checked him to see if he was alright, with the little medical knowledge I had from knowing Rory. I helped Amy then drag him to the radiator, she handcuffed him to it and I sat him up against it.

I crouched down beside him, and we waited for him to wake up. He soon shows signs of waking. I let out a quiet breath of relief that he was okay. Amy began talking into her fake radio “White male, mid-twenties, breaking and entering. Send me some backup, I've got him restrained.” She turned to face him, with her hand on her hip. As he began to move a bit, she said “Oi! You, sit still.”

He cleared his throat and said “Cricket bat. I'm getting... Cricket. Bat.”

“You were breaking and entering.” She said, and he abruptly tried to stand up, he fell back down again fast. He finally realized that he was handcuffed to the radiator. I caught him slightly, and he looked at me curiously.
