[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?

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

[puerilisangelus.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[prays2santa.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't.

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

[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.

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

We didn't mean to, anyway.

[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.

[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?

Mid-Day

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

It's maths that are probably a bit higher than I can do, even. I can go find you the books if you want to read them. They're in here somewhere. [Anyone complimenting the TARDIS gets grins automatically.] I borrowed it! And sort of, yeah. Not all the time.

Mid-Day

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[The "not all the time" thing gives him some difficulty.]

When are you not from the future...?

Mid-Day

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

[He was honestly not expecting Rory to actually want to read the books, so he blinks for a moment and then stands up to get them.] Right, okay. TARDIS physics books. By the physics books. Orrrr... possibly the anatomy books...

[That one is much easier though.] Well, I'm always from your future. But not always in your future.

[puerilisangelus.livejournal.com]

Where's Leadworth?

Re: Mid-Day

[raggedystand-in.livejournal.com]

[Rory is gonna try SO HARD to understand them, sob.

And that cleared up nothing.]

Where are you when you're not in my future?

[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.

Mid-Day

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

[Good luck little guy. The Doctor doesn't even read those for fun. He's sort of wandered off to find them but it probably doesn't take as long as he was expecting.]

Sometimes your post. Usually roundabouts your present, oddly.
