"I think sometimes…well lots of times."

Amy and the Doctor have landed on the beach for a holiday…

Amy wants to tell the Doctor that she loves him more than she could love Rory, but can't find a chance..

The Doctor can't stop thinking about his past…and everyone he lost…and for some reason can't get the dark thoughts out of his mind…

This beach holiday seems to be going a bit wrong.

And then…there's a warning to stay away, a murder… and then it all starts…

Chapter One

Amy stepped out of the TARDIS and onto a sandy beach. She stared around, blinking, staring at the sun ablaze in the sky. The Doctor slipped out after her, closing the door. He looked around, smiling cheerfully, and began striding forward.
"Different planet, Pond." He said, grinning.
Amy cocked her head to one side, smiling back. "Unusual for you, a beach. I mean…you usually go for the big cities and now we're by a tropical sea!"
"Yeah well, you need a break sometimes, ay?" he grinned again and turned back around.
Amy began to take cautious strides on the sand, expecting monsters to emerge from the ground any minute. But there was nothing.
Just the gentle plash of the waves on the shore, the deep breeze…the doctor's footsteps in the sand crunching on small stones.

Perhaps he really had gone to a holiday place for once.

The sun was beating down and the Doctor took of his jacket, twirling it round on his arm. Amy was dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, so was fine. She grinned as the Doctor was splashed by an unexpected wave, soaking his trousers and making him cry out.
"So you're brave when it comes to aliens, but on a beach you cry out even if a wave touches your skin." She said teasingly.
The Doctor gave her a playful look of: "Be quiet, Pond." And continued up the beach.
Amy ran after him.
"Why are we here?" she asked.

"Why not?" he replied, talking in his usual riddles.

"Well, it's not really you is it."

The Doctor shrugged.

"Like I said, you need a break once in a while."

Amy could tell he was lying. She grabbed his arm, running to catch up with him.

"Why are we really here?" she said, in a whining voice.

The Doctor stared at her and grinned again.

"The TARDIS was getting weird singles and I thought we could check it out." he said.

"Of course. There's danger. Never just a holiday for you is it?"

"Well its no fun then!"

They continued to walk down the beach and stopped at a dead end, guarded by enormous rocks. They stopped and stared at the blue ocean for a while.
Amy was trying to figure out in her head some things. She wanted to tell the Doctor how she felt about him.
She knew it was wrong to like him like this…but she couldn't help it.
Did he like her?
She couldn't tell.
Suddenly she shook her head. What was she thinking? He was an alien. But did that matter? Did it really? Perhaps she should just tell him. Yes. That's what she should do. Tell him. She stared at the Doctor and saw he had his thinking face on.

Who knows what the Doctor was thinking. His usual nonsense and confusion, the whole universe packed into his brain. Or maybe he was thinking of his painful passed. Everyone he had lost. How could anyone with so much pain act so jolly?
Amy was just about to tell the Doctor everything when a terrified scream rang out from somewhere in the distance.

Amy cast a look of fear at the Doctor and they rushed off, holding hands.

"What was that?" asked Amy between pants. Running in the hot weather took the energy out of you.

"No idea, but we should be finding out soon." Replied the Doctor, still carrying his jacket, which was waving in the wind behind him as he ran.

They continued to run and reached a beach hut. "Civilisation." Said the Doctor, pausing and staring at the hut. Amy pulled at the Doctor's arm to hurry him on and he ran after her.

They reached another beach hut, quite deserted.

Except for the fact that there was a dead, what looked like a human, lying on the ground.

Amy gasped, pausing.

The Doctor ran forward to examine the body.

"What happened?" asked Amy.

"No ide-" the Doctor began but was cut short by a cough from the body. Amy jumped back, eyes wide.

"Y-y-you must… get out … of…" the person struggled to talk, "He-he-here…"

And with a last sigh the person relaxed and stopped breathing.

The Doctor stared at Amy seriously and Amy stared back.
