"Apalapucia," the Doctor said, dancing around the console. He was still wearing that long green coat that Elise didn't care for.
"Say it again?" Amy asked.
"Apalapucia."
"Apalapu..."
"Chia."
"Apalapucia," Rory said, giving it go. He got it right on the first try.
"Apalapucia," the Doctor said.
"Apalapucia," Amy said, finally getting it, "What a beautiful word."
"Beautiful word, beautiful world. Apalapucia! Voted number two planet in the Top Ten Greatest Destinations for the Discerning Intergalactic Traveler."
"Why couldn't we go to number one?" Rory asked.
"It's hideous. Everyone goes to number one. Planet of the coffee shops. Apalapucia. I give you sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades."
They all ran for the TARDIS doors.
"I give you..." The Doctor threw open the doors and there was nothing except a set of doors across from them.
"Doors," Rory said.
"Doors. Yes. I give you doors. But on the other side of those doors, I give you sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades."
"Have you seen my phone?" Amy asked.
"Your phone?"
"Yeah."
"Your mobile telephone? I bring you to a paradise planet, two billion light years from Earth, and you want to update Twitter."
"Sunsets, spires, soaring silver colonnades. It's a camera phone."
"On the counter, by the DVDs."
"Thank you." Amy disappeared back into the TARDIS to get her phone. "
How do we get in?" Rory asked.
"I don't know. Push a button," the Doctor told him.
Rory pressed the Green Anchor and they went inside the room. The door closed behind them.
"Okay, so rain check on the soaring silver colonnades," the Doctor said.
Elise patted him on the back.
"Yeah," Rory said.
There was a magnifying glass in the middle of a table.
"Hey? Hey, it's locked," Amy told them from outside the room.
"Yeah, push the button," Rory said.
They assumed that the doors would just open and Amy would be standing there, but nothing happened.
"Come on, Amy," Rory muttered. He walked over to the door and pressed the button.
The doors opened, but no one was standing there.
"Where is she? Where on wherever we are is my wife?" Rory asked.
The Doctor sat down in one of the chairs and pressed the green button on the magnifying glass stand.
Amy appeared.
"Rory, I think I've found her," the Doctor said.
"What do you mean you've found her?" Rory walked over to them and jumped when he saw Amy. "Whoa." He ran around to the other side of the magnifying glass. "No, but, she's not, she's not here. I can see her, but she's not here."
