[ The video clicks on to reveal two familiar faces: the City is, once again +1 Scottish redhead and +1 floppy-haired bow-tied Doctor. Even if said Doctor is currently hiding the floppy hair under a sombrero.

They're both grinning wildly. ]

Do you want to do the honours? I think you should.

[ The Doctor looks pleased, taking a deep breath and then he is doing a truly remarkable impression of a drum roll. While Amy is not giggling. Really. ]

Guess what, City? We're back. Did you miss us?

[ A beat. ] You better have. Roll call, who's here? Barnes, you better not have left while I was gone or I will confiscate all your alcohol.

Pond and the Doctor. What's - [Squints.] - with the hat?

video;

[waitedforyears]

He has a thing. With the hats. It's definitely a thing, don't ask me. [ Lowering her voice, as though the Doctor isn't right next to her. ] First thing he did was drag me back into the hat store.

[wearafeznow]

Isn't it cool?

[latenightfondue]

Never noticed the two'a you were gone.

[ He's such a liar. ]

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

Of course you did, Howard. Your lab must've been cold.

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

Sure you didn't. C'mon now.

[wearafeznow]

I think I need to work on my drum roll. [ Fixing his sombrero. ] What do you reckon?

[waitedforyears]

It could've used a bit more-- [ Vague hand gestures. Drama, maybe. ] Wasn't bad, though.

[ Then minutes later, Bucky's rapping on the door to the hat shop. He's missed her so much, hid it down because he's just that kind of guy, he doesn't talk about it.

Just let him in Pond, he needs to make sure you're fine. ]

[bettercallit]

Couldn't keep away?

[ It's not easy to tell, but there's a slight lift in his expression that suggests he's pleased to see them, especially the redhead. ]

[ Video ]

[waitedforyears]

'pparently not. Give it to me straight, Barton, were you miserable without me?

[ Video ]

[wearafeznow]

[ He's vaguely concerned about you, Clint. You've got ideas about Amelia. ] The City just enjoys us that much.

[Andy just... stares. A sombrero? These are the kind of ridiculous people he can get behind.]

Welcome back to the City! Nice hat.

video;

[wearafeznow]

Why thank you. At least somebody appreciates the choice.

video;

[waitedforyears]

You! I don't remember you. Are you new?

video;

[studmuffin]

[ Now this is amusing. ] I haven't, mostly because I didn't know you before, but I'm thinking I should have pre-emptively.

video;

[waitedforyears]

Yeah. You should've. [ Grinning. ] Who're you, then? You're new, aren't you, you weren't here before.

[punchedhitler]

Amy!

[waitedforyears]

Steve! [ Beaming. She heard you and Bucky were still doing good. ] You gotta tell me. Bucky missed me, right?

[iwasherefirst]

[Have a Rose with a huge smile on her face.]

Glad to see you back. Got your stuff from the hat shop.

[waitedforyears]

Hey, Rose. [ Grinning back. ] I heard. Thanks for that. S'ppose we'll come pick it up today or tomorrow, that all right?

How've you been?

[leathered]

And we were enjoying all the extra room in the TARDIS.

[ He can't help being pleased. ]

[waitedforyears]

Doctor! [ Look at you, you're still here. That's nice, she likes you. ] Don't worry, we're occupying the hat shop again. Gotta get our business up and running, yeah?

[rudeandginger]

You two weren't gone long.

[Guess who missed you?]

[waitedforyears]

Nope. 'bout a month, right? How've you been?

[ SURELY NOT HIM. ]

voice;

[hexuality]

[She starts laughing.]

Reckon this City couldn't do without its gingers and Brits for long.

voice;

[waitedforyears]

Clearly not.

[skintoskin]

[Should he be happy for them or sad for them that they're stuck here again? They seem happy and it's always good to see familiar faces, so...]

Hey! A Doctor and Amy! No shit, you're really here? You poor fuckers. Good to see you, though. Nine's pretty cool, but I don't know you very well, Doc.

But Aims? Howyadoin'?

[waitedforyears]

Neil, hey. How've you been?
