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. )

Jeez, Doc. It's called growing older with style. The rest of us manage it just fine.

[waitedforyears]

Most of us don't reach 900 though, to be fair.

[initforthemoney]

He's a Time Lord! They all do that. Besides, it hardly counts when he can regenerate a new body any time he likes.

[waitedforyears]

He's got to die first for that to happen, though. ( Quietly, because, well. Sore point. )

[initforthemoney]

[Eugh, that didn't sound happy. New subject!]

So where did the Doctor pick you up from, Amy Pond?

[waitedforyears]

( Much better. ) Leadworth. 'm Scottish, though.

[initforthemoney]

I swear you Earth ladies are a hobby for the Doc. He had an American one when I was with him.

[waitedforyears]

You make it sound far dirtier than it is.

[initforthemoney]

It's a habit of mine, comes from being a PI.

[waitedforyears]

A timetravelling penguin PI.

[initforthemoney]

You got it on the nose, babe. Or on the beak, in my case.

[waitedforyears]

And you're charming, too. ( So amused. )

[initforthemoney]

I've heard it said about me before.

[Ever wanted to see a penguin wink at you? You have now.]

[waitedforyears]

Must be true, then.

[initforthemoney]

As long as you don't talk to my ex, at any rate.

[waitedforyears]

The penguin one?

[initforthemoney]

I've only been married once, dollface.

[waitedforyears]

You didn't say ex wife, though.

[initforthemoney]

I've been a bit of a lone penguin ranger ever since. A shamus works best alone, and traveling with the Doc doesn't leave so much time for dating.

[waitedforyears]

Unless your boyfriend's travelling with you or your name is Harkness, yeah.

[initforthemoney]

The cheesy guy? Yeah, I met him once. You don't wanna know about how he thought my shape shifting skills should be put to use.

[waitedforyears]

I can imagine.

[initforthemoney]

As a Whifferdill it's a line you get more often than not, lemme tell you.

[waitedforyears]

Anyone make a business out of it?

[initforthemoney]

That particular line of business exists no matter what planet you're on, sweetcheeks.
