[ 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.

I am one of the several new kids on the block, sure. But I'm the most awesome too.

I'm Stiles.

[waitedforyears]

That so? Well, 'm not a new kid so there's no competition.

Amy. Amy Pond. And the bloke in the hat is the Doctor, don't mind him.

[studmuffin]

Hi Amy. [ A smile. ] I take it you guys have been here before?

video;

[waitedforyears]

What gave it away?

video;

[studmuffin]

The drum roll. It was a new thing. Usually everyone else comes along with the general sound of panic and fear and hysteria.

video;

[waitedforyears]

We coulda been just special, though.

video;

[studmuffin]

Special or special?

video;

[waitedforyears]

The good kind. [ OBVIOUSLY :| ]

video;

[studmuffin]

[ Grinning. ]

Well that's okay then.

video;

[waitedforyears]

Better than. [ A beat. ] So, tell me what's happened since you got here.

video;

[studmuffin]

Um. There was a blizzard. Also everything was champagne. It was so awesome. Who doesn't want a champagne shower? [ Apart from the hangover. ]

video;

[waitedforyears]

I missed champagne? Ah, hell.

video;

[studmuffin]

Literally everything.

video;

[waitedforyears]

Now I'm just jealous.

video;

[studmuffin]

Well, the hangover wasn't so epic. You missed that part.

video;

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, I may have had a few of those at some point.

video;

[studmuffin]

They are not so awesome.

[ But drinking is. Drinking is super fun and Stiles wants to do it again. ] But hey, at least there some fun to be had around here.

video;

[waitedforyears]

'course there is. There's plenty of fun if you know where to look. Not as fun as fish vampires from space, admittedly, but not everything can be Venice.

video;

[studmuffin]

Fish vampires from space? [ A small beat. ] Hey, wanna be my new best friend?

video;

[waitedforyears]

I know, right?

What, have you misplaced your last best friend?

video;

[studmuffin]

Yeah. Pretty much. [ And oh, almost down looking. ] I'm the only one from my world here, so.

video;

[waitedforyears]

Gotcha. Position of best friend's already taken by the bloke in the hat, but hey, always room for one more, yeah?

video;

[studmuffin]

Sure, I'm totally capable of wheedling my way in there if I have to.

video;

[waitedforyears]

Yeah? [ A beat, and she looks amused. ] So, Stiles. What do you do?
