[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 (

[He nods too, and then sort of isn't sure whether to take his hand or not and doesn't and does that head jerk thing people do when they're leading the way somewhere.] C'mon then, peanut butter it is.

[~~kitchen teleport, idk.]

[Rory tags along after the Doctor to the kitchen, holding the TARDIS physics books to his chest with both arms.]

[The Doctor finds the kitchen and starts looking through cabinets for peanut butter. He looks under his arm at Rory while stretching up on a shelf.] You want regular, yeah? Or d'you like chunky. I think there's some chunky in here somewhere. And some honey. Someone really liked peanut butter at some point.

Regular's good, thanks. [Rory heaves the books up onto the counter, being a bit of a short kid, and then goes over to where he already took out the bread, and brings it closer to the peanut butter.] The somebody wasn't you? Other people live here?

[He pulls the regular one down and sets it next to where Rory's got his stuff all set out, and then gets another kind down for himself. Gets out some bread and a knife and starting making his own sandwich.] There've been a few people who lived here. Right now it's just me, you, and your friend, Ameilia.

[Rory drags a kitchen stool over to give himself a boost on the sandwich.] It's really big for only being you here. [He starts in on his own sandwich-making.]

[The Doctor is spreading peanut butter across both bits of bread, and looks around for a banana to cut up and add to it.] Yeah, but that's why I've got you and Amelia Pond. Help take up some of all the space. Add some noise to the place. You want a banana?

Okay. Does that mean you brought us here, then?

Ahh, no. I didn't.

I thought you might've. Cos you'd be all quiet without us. Does that mean you can't bring us home neither? [Rory has to stop putting peanut butter on his sandwich because he can pretty much concentrate on this conversation, or on not gouging chunks out of the bread with the knife while buttering it.]

Not just now I can't, no. But you're both welcome to stay here until I figure out how to get you back. [His sandwich is finished but far too tall and banana pieces slide out when he takes a bite because that is the best way to actually make a peanut-butter-and-banana-sandwich.]

[Rory looks a little nervous for a moment, and then nods.] Thanks.

[He finishes putting peanut butter onto his bread, and then bites his lips together in complete concentration as he tries to cut the banana into relatively even slices.]

[Little Rory seems almost more anxious and nervous than his grown up counterpart. The Doctor's honestly not sure how to behave around someone like that. So he just keeps... eating his sandwich until he comes up with something. Luckily a thought suddenly occurs to him.] Where's Amy- Amelia. Where's Amelia?

[Rory shrugs.] I dunno. We were in this one room that had a tree in, only I was hungry so I don't know where she is now. [He puts the bananas in and the sandwich together and carefully cuts the sandwich into half diagonally before picking up a piece and taking a bite.]

[He takes another bite slowly, working out where that means she is and quickly calculating how worried he ought to be about it.] Does she like to... Mess with things? Poke things with sticks, throw them at the wall to see if they stay there, that sort?
