[ 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.

[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.

[wearafeznow]

I am totally well behaved outside.

[waitedforyears]

You, well behaved?

[wearafeznow]

Of course I'm well behaved. [ Almost affronted. ] What must you think of me, Pond?

[waitedforyears]

Only that you like to poke things. Kind of like a giant busybody, right? [ t e a s i n g ]

[wearafeznow]

I -- [ Flushing. ]

Almost home now, Pond. [ He is not a busybody. ]

[waitedforyears]

[ Impulsively, she leans over and kisses his cheek.

Just because. ]

[wearafeznow]

[ If he didn't have the bag full of groceries, he'd hug her again. As it is, he just smiles, soft and fond. ]

Now, don't be getting emotional on me, Pond.

[waitedforyears]

Would I do that. [ He promptly gets poked in the side. ]

[wearafeznow]

[ Poking her back. ]

Yes, you just don't want people to notice you would.

[waitedforyears]

Nonsense. [ Poke war. ] I wouldn't.

[wearafeznow]

[ Oh, a poke war you say? ]

Now now, Pond, there's no reason to hide it. It's a normal emotion.

[<small Yes. Absolutely. </small>]

C'mon, Doctor.

[wearafeznow]

[ Tickling her under the ribs. ]

Only if you say you care.

[waitedforyears]

[ Squirming. ]

You're my best friend, you stupid bloke.
