[waitsforever]

[There's a boy and a girl walking down the road, hand in hand. They're young - too young, really, to be out at this time. Just after the video clicks on, the girl lets go of the boy's hand and frowns at him.]

Rory. Why are you holding my hand?

[She looks around, then.] And where are we?

[The boy--Rory--looks around, and then does a bit of biting of his lip. He looks slightly like he might cry.]

I.......don't know. [He takes a few panicked breaths.] I don't think we should be outside, though. I think it's late. I think we need....I think we need to find an official building or something.

Don't be such a girl. [The girl shakes her head and holds her hand out to him again.] Let's go explore! That's what the Doctor would do, too.

B-but Amelia, it... [He reaches over and takes her hand.] It's different. We're not the Doctor.

[Amelia resolutely starts walking, pulling Rory along with her.] We could be like him, if you weren't always so scared. C'mon. If you want to find an official building, we have to look around anyways. So there.

[Rory follows along so that he can mostly stop himself from being dragged.] Do you know how we got here? Cos I can't remember anything at all.

Maybe we were kidnapped. [Amelia sounds more excited than scared by this prospect.] Or maybe the Doctor finally came back for me. Or maybe he's in trouble and needs our help!

[They walk around a corner and then Amelia lets out a squeal - that she'll later deny - and points. There's a blue box standing not too far away from them and Amelia lets go of Rory's hand and runs towards it. Over her shoulder, she shouts.] See, I told you he'd come back for me.

[For a moment, Rory just stares, and then he runs after Amelia.] Why'd he bring us here for, though? Why didn't he just come to your house again?

Dunno. [Amelia shrugs and knocks on the TARDIS door.] Doctor! Doctor!


[ooc: So today it is tiny!Rory and Amelia time. We'll be tagging with curse journals (raggedystand_in , prays2santa ).]

[It takes a few seconds, but the Doctor appears at the door, glasses on and sleeves rolled up, clearly having been working on something. He looks down.] ...Yes?

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

[ Amelia's face lights up at first, taking in his clothes - not raggedy, admittedly, but it's the same clothes --- and then falls when she sees his face. ]

You're not the Doctor.

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

[Rory looks at Amelia, and then up at the strange man who isn't the Raggedy Doctor, and takes a step back.]

Um....sorry....we thought...

[He leans to whisper to Amelia.] Amelia. Maybe he's not in.

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

[He's having a serious case of déjà vu now. He points to them in turn.]

Yes, I am. And you're Amelia Pond, and you, would then be Rory. Just, very... little versions.

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

Little? [ Amelia puts her hands on her hips, giving him a look somewhere between a glare and a pout. ]

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

[...he knows their names. Or, Rory SAID Amelia's name, whoops, but he doesn't think she has her last name written on her clothing or anything. Maybe this is just a stranger from Leadworth who knows about Amelia and her Raggedy Doctor who's...kidnapped them for...some reason?]

Amelia. Did you tell the Doctor about me?

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

[ Amelia is distracted by the presence of the TARDIS. And the person who is dressed like the Doctor but isn't the Doctor. She wants to go in. Find her Doctor and never leave the TARDIS again lest it fly away without her again. ]

No, stupid.

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

[Rory glances at the potential kidnapper, and then leans in to Amelia, whispering like this will somehow stop the 'Doctor' from noticing he's sussed him out.]

How does he know my name, then?

Ah, hey-- Isn't it a bit late for you two to be out right now?

video;

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't.

video;

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

We didn't mean to, anyway.

Video;

[puerilisangelus.livejournal.com]

I'm with him on this one. You guys sure you should out on your own?

Video;

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

We're out now. And this isn't Leadworth.

[puerilisangelus.livejournal.com]

Where's Leadworth?

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

It's in England.

[puerilisangelus.livejournal.com]

Is that where you're supposed to be?

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

Yes. We didn't even mean to be out this late.

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

It's this small place in England. It's stupid, really.

[The TARDIS is big, and confusing. Luckily, even if he doesn't know it, it's helping Rory, so he manages to find the Doctor in the library after only ten minutes.]

Mid-Day

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

[He's purposefully attempting to not do anything he'd be annoyed to be interrupted doing, so he notices Rory come in pretty easily.] Hello there! How're you doing then?

Mid-Day

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

I'm okay, thanks. [Pause, after the required politeness.] Your box is really big. I mean, I sort of knew it was big, because it was big already when we came in, but it's even bigger than that.

Mid-Day

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

It is big, yeah. Sometimes I'm not sure quite how big it is myself. [Pause.] You okay with that?

Mid-Day

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

[Rory nods.] How does it do it?

Mid-Day

[am-i-being-rude.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's... complicated. There's lots of maths involved. Cool though, isn't it?

Mid-Day

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

I'm good at maths. [Rory shrugs. It's probably complicated uni stuff, at least.] It's really cool. Where did you get it from? Are you from the future?
