[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 ).]

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?

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

[ Amelia thinks for a moment. ] Maybe he's a friend of the Doctor's who can also time travel and he knows you from the future.

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

...I can hear what you're saying, you realise. I'm hardly even two feet away and have no noticeable hearing deficiencies. [Watching them blatantly try and have a secret conversation is somewhat boggling.] And I am not a kidnapper, unless having you both willingly come shout at me counts now.

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

So who are you then?

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

The Doctor. I thought we'd done this bit before.

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

You can't just SAY you're the Doctor. Why doesn't Amelia recognise you?

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

I didn't recognise her either. Maybe we hadn't met yet. Do you want to come in so we aren't standing in the doorway?

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

You don't look like the Doctor I know. [ But she goes into the TARDIS anyway. Because it's the TARDIS. ] So where's your swimming pool? [ It's a test question. ]

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

I do that sometimes. [He has to consider where it is for a moment.] Er. Half a... mile from here? Or possibly closer. I haven't seen it for a while now. Why?

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

The Doctor said it was in the library.

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

I am th- oh what's the use. Maybe it's in the library then but it isn't right now. Or maybe it decided to join the book club - I still haven't seen it recently.

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

I will go look for it. [ And see if she can find the Doctor. Maybe he's being held hostage somewhere? At any rate, she wants to explore the TARDIS. ]

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

D'you... [He's not sure about small children alone in the TARDIS. Cover anxiety with concern.] want me t-- Are you more likely to believe that I'm the Doctor if you wander around the TARDIS and don't find someone, or if I show you around and know where everything is, or have I just kidnapped you both and the Doctor and I have no way out of this?

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

I [ Pronounced very clearly and with great importance. ] Am going to explore the TARDIS. [ And there is nothing you can do about it, says her tone. ] Rory, you can come, too, if you want.

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

Okay... [Amy is still scarier than this man who might or might not be the Doctor. Wait.] What if we get lost? [He looks at the man.] Will you find us if we get lost?

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

[That... Well he supposes that was an answer.] Fine. Have fun then. Please don't break anything. And Rory, I will definitely come find you if you get lost.

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

We're not going to get lost.
