[I'll be having Rory's speech and other parts in Green and Amy's in Purple]

Finally back in the TARDIS, and away from water, cuts and what they were all sure were near death experiences, Rory was trying his very hardest to relax. Oddly enough the strange lights, sounds and colours of the main console room of the magnificent machine almost felt...usual to him. Like walking into his lounge at home, or into the reception of the hospital where he had worked. It was somewhere that he felt he belonged. Relaxing, however, was always made hard by the Doctor. “Is it supposed to make that noise? The humming I mean? You haven’t broken it have you?”

A little while ago, he wouldn’t have dared to talk like that. Back then the Doctor had been almost untouchable, certainly not someone to be friendly with. Perhaps it was because everything was so very new back then, or maybe it was just because they had got to know each other. In the past, Rory had felt like the Doctor was...above him. A time travelling alien with the power to save so many humans lives. It was almost threatening. Now, the Doctor was often funny and always eccentric. He was just enough sensitive to understand, but not enough to be hurt. Still Rory stumbled over the words that he said, wondering after every sentence if it had been the right thing to say.

Amy on the other hand had never been effected by the mysterious man in that way. Perhaps it was because he had been there her whole life, in her memories and thoughts. It made it easier to connect with him. Sometimes, it was that connection with the Doctor, and a similar one with Rory that helped everything run smoothly between everyone.

Still wearing her newly gained pirates hat, she almost danced around the control room of the TARDIS, her mind racing to the next place to be. Although she wouldn’t admit it, she missed home. She got on so well with the Doctor, and with Rory, but they weren’t new. She had always liked the challenge of meeting someone new. The thrill when she discovered something about them, the new joys they brought to her life, and although they met new people every day, she knew that it was only a matter of time before they were travelling off again to the next big adventure.
