[stardust] ❝ calling, calling, calling home, you show the lights that stop me. ❞

[ When Amy had said she wanted to visit home, naturally he silently panicked. It was no different from when she said it after the Byzantium. Then she had rolled her eyes, called him a numpty, and promised she was coming back. She wanted to visit her Mum and Dad. The Doctor supposed he couldn't blame her. They did run off practically right after she

[ Even if she heard that sound only once (which wasn't completely true, but still the truth) Amelia knew that sound anywhere. She threw down the homework she was working on and told her mum that she wanted to head outside to play. There was a large smile across her face as she pushed open the door and ran up to the not so raggedy man. ]

I knew you were real. I told them, but no one ever believes me.

[ His head turned towards the door as it opened. Ah, he hadn't meant to actually meet up with her. A bit too late now. Instead he grinned at her and leaned down to her eye level. Oh, Amelia Pond. The girl with stars in her eyes. Even as a girl she brought the widest smile to his face. ]

Ah, well, they really wouldn't believe a man who time traveled even if he dropped into their front room. Do you think I should have done that instead?

[canicome]

Suppose so. [ She wasn't about to say how much she missed him. ]

[thatoldthatkind]

She won't find it odd? Your Mum, that is.

[canicome]

I don't know...

[thatoldthatkind]

Well, let's not try and make her upset. Mothers are the most terrifying creatures when they are upset.

[canicome]

I thought that was you? [ Something made her say that, but she wasn't sure what. ]

[thatoldthatkind]

...Mum's are scarier than me. They need to be.

[canicome]

Sometimes, it doesn't feel right. You know?

[thatoldthatkind]

What do you mean by that?

[canicome]

Can't explain it.

[thatoldthatkind]

No, no. I meant what doesn't feel right?

[canicome]

I don't know. Stuff.

[thatoldthatkind]

Your Mum and Dad?
