Title: The One Time Things Didn't Go Wrong
Summary: Amy and the Doctor actually listen to Rory for once. 
Rating: G
Characters/pairings: The Doctor, Amy, Rory. Possibly pairings, but I don't mention them in-fic.
Author's notes:
I'm aware it's fairly OOC. The Doctor and Amy would never actually listen to me. Let's call it speculative fiction.

***
As the TARDIS juddered to a stop in what was presumably the middle of the Space Bahamas, the Doctor banged a few more switches on the console. It was probably for show.
 
“Come along, Ponds,” he said, taking the stairs three at a time, “off we go to sand and sun, sort of, two suns, two and a half technically but no one really cares about the half a sun, if you—what?”
 
This was in response to Rory standing with his arms folded in front of the door. Amy was already standing in front of him, glaring at him.
 
“He won’t move,” she said.
 
“Look,” said Rory, speaking as quickly as he could. It looked like Amy might kick him in the knee if he wasn’t fast about it. “Can we not rush into this one? For once can we check what’s outside, not split up, and all walk out together as a group? Please? Especially as this is another vacation-y sort of place and that never turns out well.”
 
“Roooory,” said the Doctor. He was very fond of Rory’s name. “Rory Pond. Rory the Roman. Roman Rory. You’re sucking the fun out of EVERYTHING.”
 
“Yeah,” said Amy. “What he said. Stop being an idiot.”
 
“Please?” said Rory. “You never listen to me. Can you listen to me just this one time?”
 
The Doctor and Amy looked at each other and went into a huddle.
 
“Fine,” said Amy, coming out of it. “Just this once. But it’s still stupid.”
 
“And don’t press any weird buttons,” said Rory.
 
“Fine,” said the Doctor.
 
“And don’t open any doors that say ‘Do Not Open’ on them.”
 
“Aaamyyy,” whined the Doctor. “Your husband’s mad with power. Stop him.”
 
Amy kicked Rory in the knee.
 
But in the end, they followed Rory’s directions. They didn’t walk into any horrendous pits of doom, they didn’t have any life-threatening encounters with the locals, and best of all, none of them died. It was a wonderful vacation.

R&R. I made do without a beta, but I'm still on the lookout for one. If I get a good enough response, I might even write another one.

Hi. Sorry. Not in for work, again, because while Amy doesn't mind me using her for posting, I think it's a bit much dragging her with me to work. Unless there's an emergency. In which case I'll beg.

Is that fine?

Do you mind?

Cheers. Sorry. That was me asking Amy and. Yes. That's something that would be happening.

Anyway, as she said earlier, I'm a ghost. Not even a poltergeist, which would be useful because I could just...throw stuff about, but completely insubstantial. I get it...funny, how often have I nearly or actually died...lots.

It's really not that funny. It's actually getting kind of old.

Has anyone worked out how to actually reverse this yet? Because I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

12:20 - If this is a curse, it doesn't seem to fit any sort of seasonal theme. Which seems odd, somehow, with this. I know not everything fits like that but...all the same.
12:51 - Don't sleep. Anybody. It is definitely a curse and it is definitely one of the horrible ones.
1:27 - It's not as if we haven't run on very little sleep before. Literally, run. I'm sure we'll be fine.
2:53 - Alright, I...think I'm beginning to change my mind. This is worse. You can't even close your eyes for a moment. ... Oh, god, Amy, really... Well, she's...right, at least. Definitely. Don't.
3:40 - I think if everyone really was as incompetent as infomercials would have us believe, I'd have even more work than I do.
5:00 - [filtered to hospital] I'm really sorry, I know it's a bad time, and I know I practically just got there, but I can't be in today. Curse reasons.
5:30 - Never been to a zoo just before dawn before. I suppose there's a first time for everything.
6:45 - I think this park is very probably also bigger on the inside.
10:00 - Surprisingly, neutrals are not actually the enemy.
10:15 - A room can only stand so much red in it before it starts actually hurting your eyes. And even thinking of anything white is a horrible idea.
10:18 - For the record, I like red, obviously, I just also think that there can be too much of it.
10:18 - A red sectional is too much.
11:49 - There is literally nothing wrong with this chair!
4:11 - [filtered away from Amy, Rose and the Doctor] Oh shit.
5:00 - [filtered to the Doctor] Help? You know Rose better, what do we DO?
6:47 - Wow. Just...wow.
7:00 - scmjnudfuyasdfssssssssssssssssssss
7:01 - Shit, sorry.
7:02 - [filtered to Amy] Hey. Are you nearly back? How much longer do you think you'll be?
7:03 - [filtered to Amy] Right, yes. I...yes. Yeah. I just....you know. I'd like to know you're alive. Firsthand. Videre est credere and all...that.
7:05 - [filtered to Amy] Oh…yeah, sorry. ...neither did I. Seeing is believing.
7:08 - [filtered to Amy] That's what videre est credere means, I meant. Or...sorry. I'm tired.
9:50 - Lying on a sofa: actually not a brilliant idea when you're trying to stay awake.
9:52 - [filtered to the Doctor] Uh...would you mind checking in? Sorry, just...say something. It would help.
10:43 - Does anybody here know the rules to Ludo? I have a question.
11:00 - Okay, that's ridiculous. You definitely have to roll exactly to reach the final square. You can't...invent a move based on random piece capture and then say that as long as you reach the square at all it's okay.
11:15 - Alright, time for Monopoly. No-one really knows the rules to that anyway. ‘Buy things’.
11:40 - How did you end up with all the railroads?!
12:20 - It's definitely over. Woke up with the top hat stuck to my face. The curse, I mean.



[ooc: So this is a post ranging over the entire day. IC, he would have been adding to it on the times noted. So if you want to comment, time-stamp your comment as to where you want it to happen. Comment multiple times! Just. PLEASE. Time-stamp. Amy's matching post is here.]

Amy. We are NEVER doing that again. EVER.

[audio/filtered to counsellors/CITs]

Is there anyone who can take over supervision of my campers for Swimming this afternoon? I'd really appreciate it.

[/filter]

[Rory is sitting at his cabin's table in the lunchroom, half watching the kids, and half with his eye on his device for coordination. He looks uncomfortable.]


[ooc: Anyone who wants to be one of his kids, go ahead. As for what he's trying to hide....he has a poison ivy rash up his back, enough that it's difficult to explain. Yeah.]

[Filtered to Amy and the Doctor/Unhackable Except by Computer Geniuses]

I'm coming home. We need to put a plan together for this or...at least talk about it. Doctor, don't you dare run off and do this on your own.

[/filter]

I haven't been here long. Has this ever happened before? Are we being recruited as...smugglers? What's this about?


[ooc: Backdated slightly because he posted this pretty much directly after he got the deity announcement.]

[Text]
I’m sure you’ll not even get this as someone’s messed with my mobile but I’ve been abducted. Or something’s gone off with the TARDIS. Either way, if you do get this…call me. Please.

[Further Text, about a half hour later]
That…wasn’t meant to go up there. Just ignore that, everyone.

This is…some sort of social networking thing, is it? It seems like a lot of trouble to go to for kidnapping victims but it could be a big experiment. Another one--big experiment--it’s starting to get just a bit old, actually. Is this one of the ones I get an explanation with? It…would help if someone could, cheers.


[More Text, a couple minutes later]
Amy, CALL ME.

[Text, almost immediately after]
Alright, I give up, how do I switch this over into actually being a phone again?


[ooc: Rory is standing in what he thinks is an an unnoticeable section of the Square, slightly hunched into himself with his back against a wall. He's got his Blackberry up to his face, but he's mostly looking over the top of it, trying to not look nervous. Approach him if this pings you, or if you just want to, I guess!]
