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. )

He taking good care of you? [ If he sounds a little quieter, sadder, than usual, he's trying not to let it show. ] 'Cause I'm more than willing to find a way out of here and over there to kick his ass if he's not.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah. He does. ( And she of him. Hugging him a little tighter because she gets it, it sucks. )

[bettercallit]

[ He drops all pretences, this once, since the occasion calls for it, and he holds on tighter. ]

Glad we got you back. [ For as long as it lasts. ] It's been dull without you.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, I'm glad as well. ( She's missed him, too. Not as much as the Doctor, but, well. ) Back now. We'll get up to all kinds of stuff, I'm sure.

[bettercallit]

[ He's not going to hold it against her. The Doctor is pretty special. ] We better. I've got a stash of alcohol just begging to be drank.

[waitedforyears]

That sounds promising.

[bettercallit]

Not to make it appear as if I've gone soft, but we should get a group together, celebrate your return properly.

[waitedforyears]

That sounds good, yeah. I'd like that.

[bettercallit]

Let me know when you're settled in. [ He should probably let her do that, but somehow he's sitting on the edge of the fountain, absently scratching behind the dog's ears. ]

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, will do. ( A beat. ) How are you doing?

[bettercallit]

Tired. [ He shrugs, but he smiles up at her. ] You missed a fun week.

[waitedforyears]

With the circus? I heard.

[bettercallit]

Don't forget the Halloween costumes that possess the wearer.

[waitedforyears]

Huh, that sounds like fun, too.

[bettercallit]

On the plus side, if you're running low on money, there's some gold buried in the woods.

[ But it's busy out, and she's only just back, so he nudges Fury as he gets up. ] Better stop blocking traffic, let you get settled back in. I'll text about the beers.

[waitedforyears]

Sounds good. I'll see you.

[bettercallit]

[ With a friendly salute, he leaves her to it, feeling selfishly better for having her back. ]
