[waitedforyears]

Am I back? ( A beat. ) I'm back, aren't I? 'cept it's busy. Is it one of those weekends? Does that mean I'm just visiting, then?

( Yes, this is Amy Pond, sitting down on the edge of the fountain — a little older. ) How long has it been? Bucky? ( A painfully hopeful expression. ) Doctor? Doctor, are you here?



(ooc; Anything goes for Amy. Also, she's back from being canon updated, and she's a few years after The Angels Take Manhattan now. )

ameeeeeeees, stay here

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Well that's good Mrs. Williams because his arms are open for that hug already and he's just going to squeeze her a little. ]

This better not be just for the weekend, Ames or I'm never gonna forgive you. [ It's a joke, but he's missed her, he trusts Amy and she's his friend. ]

okay, okay, she will

[waitedforyears]

( As it should be. There's few people in the world that she knows would catch her always and he's one of them. )

I hope not. ( Pushing her face against his neck, fingers curled into his shirt. ) How long's it been, here?

[yourbestguysgun]

Maybe a month. You disappeared shortly after your Doc did and then he came back.

[ Still hugging. ] You missed October though, so that's good. It was hell.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah? ( She isn't planning on letting go anytime soon. ) It's been years for me.

[yourbestguysgun]

He looked pretty lost when he showed up, I figured something had gone down.

[ Don't you dare leave again, Ames. Or just look him up in New York, that would work too. ] You okay though?

[waitedforyears]

I— ( Where does she even begin. ) He can never see me again, back home. Or I him. There's— you remember the Weeping Angels?

[yourbestguysgun]

Can't forget 'em.

[ His grip tightens on her protectively. ]

[waitedforyears]

Yeah. They got Rory and then I let them take me, too.

[yourbestguysgun]

Shit, Ames.

[ Pulling back to look at her. ] They send you someplace else, don't they?

[waitedforyears]

Sometime else. They send you to the past. 'm in New York now, in the 40s. It's not so bad. ( She just hates that she can never see the Doctor again. )

[yourbestguysgun]

[ At that, Bucky makes a startled noise, a half laugh. ]

Well, at least you get good bagels.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah. Could be worse, right? ( Okay, so maybe she's putting on a brave face because she's made peace with her fate in the last few years, she's made her choice and there was never any question what she'd choose — it's always been Rory. But being here, seeing the Doctor and Jaime, it brings everything to the forefront again. )

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Tugging her back for another hug. ]

Maybe we can just keep you for a bit longer.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah. I hope so. ( If she can divide her life between the City and New York, she'll get to see both the Doctor and Rory, won't she. )

's good to see you again.

[yourbestguysgun]

You have no idea.

[ He needs Amy. She's the only one who he trusts enough to tell everything, about Steve, about the things that trouble him. ]

[waitedforyears]

So, October, huh? What happened here?

[yourbestguysgun]

A fuckin' creepy circus who kidnapped people and turned 'em into monsters. Vines that came out of the ground and tried to kidnap people. Scary children. You name it?

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, all right. Glad I missed that. ( A beat, and she's drawing back just enough to look at him. ) You all right?

[yourbestguysgun]

Not really. [ Okay, so honesty is a thing now. ]

It's been a long week, Ames.

[waitedforyears]

() Oh. ) Wanna go somewhere, fill me in?

[yourbestguysgun]

Nah. You might not be here for long, we should make the most of it and you don't need me offloading.

[waitedforyears]

Shut up, idiot. Bet you haven't told anyone shit, have you?

[yourbestguysgun]

No.

[ Shrugging. ] I think I'm in trouble, Ames. It's kinda making me a bit crazy.

[waitedforyears]

Okay, c'mon, we're going somewhere and you're gonna tell me everything.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He feels relief course through his veins at that. Amy understands, she knows about Steve, she'll get it. ]

Come over to mine, yeah? I can get changed and we can have coffee.
