[ 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.

Comments

[waitedforyears]

Yes. [ Into the basket they go. ]

Cool? Awesome? Sweet?

[wearafeznow]

Boring.

[ And into the basket also go bendy straws. And party rings. And wafers. He has coins, it's fine. ]

[waitedforyears]

Well, no one's expecting you to keep up with the times.

[ Bread. Someone's gotta be responsible and she wants breakfast tomorrow, okay. ]

[wearafeznow]

[ That's what the party rings were for though! ]

I'm a Time Lord, Amelia. How up with the times do you expect me to be?

[waitedforyears]

[ Oh, okay. But they'll still need bread. And drinks, there should be drinks. ]

Yeah, somehow that doesn't translate so well into your vocabulary.

[wearafeznow]

I'm hip!

[ Can he have a chocolate milkshake? ]

[waitedforyears]

[ Yes. Chocolate milkshakes are a-okay. ]

Nah. You do have a bit of that hipster thing going but unironically, so.

[wearafeznow]

What on earth is a hipster?

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, you don't really need to know that one.

[wearafeznow]

They sound strange.

[ Fish finger frozen section. How many boxes do they need? ]

[waitedforyears]

[ They should stock up on them, shouldn't they? ]

They are strange.

[wearafeznow]

You'll have to tell me if we run into any.

[waitedforyears]

I will. [ Cheerful. ] I'll shout, they'll hate that.

[wearafeznow]

Don't they like loud noises?

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, no. You'll figure it out.

[wearafeznow]

So avoiding hipsters is a must then, gotcha.

[ Pausing in front of a display of glittery balls. Because glittery balls. ]

[waitedforyears]

No. No, Doctor. [ Dragging him away from the glittery balls. ]

[wearafeznow]

But Amelia.

[ Yes, he's whining like an eight year old. ] They're amazing. Look at all the colours.

[waitedforyears]

No. Definitely not. C'mon, let's get the fish fingers and get out of here, yeah?

[wearafeznow]

[ Sigh. Then to the glitter balls: ] I'll be back for you.

[ Then he's just spinning around, swinging the basket in his hands. ]

[waitedforyears]

Can't take you anywhere. [ But she's grinning, wide and happy. ]

[wearafeznow]

You can though, you just get frustrated by the outcome. [ And glittery balls, Amy. Why can't he have them.

But he's smiling wide at the cashier and handing over the coins, taking the bag with a smile in Amy's direction. ] Shall we, Pond?

[waitedforyears]

And whose fault is that? [ But no, she's smiling just as widely. ]

Yeah. Onwards.

[wearafeznow]

[ Holding the paper bag against his chest as he wanders out, arm still crossed with Amy's. ]

I don't think we should assign blame.

[waitedforyears]

Uh huh. That's what I'd say, too, if it was my fault.
