There was an Ood on their loo. With a morning that started like that, Amy and Rory weren't at all surprised by what happened next - spoilers for episode 3 of "Pond Life".


"Morning Visit"

As Amy and Rory stood gaping at the Ood, the front door banged open.

"Where is it?" The Doctor was yelling as he tore through the entrance hall. Amy and Rory winced in tandem as the sound of shattering glass echoed.

"Please don't let that be Gran's good china," Amy moaned and warily they turned to the stairs as River started up, dressed in a killer red sequined gown that was slit so high up the thigh that Rory was quite sure she wasn't wearing knickers under it. That was something he really didn't want to know about her.

"Up here, sweetie!" River called over the bannister and flashed a grin. "Hello, Mum. Dad." She slipped by them into the loo. "Now, there you are. We've been looking everywhere for you," she told the Ood.

"Hello, Ponds!" The Doctor in a tuxedo took the steps two at a time. "Lost an Ood. Oh, you found it!" He peered over River's shoulder, grinned and pointed. "Ood on a loo."

"Yes, that's quite a tedious joke in some circles." River strapped a vortex manipulator to the Ood's wrist and keyed in coordinates. "We'll be right behind you in the TARDIS," she said as the Doctor tried to explain to Amy and Rory about temporal complexes and whirly dangerbangers and how they all seemed to combine at once to displace a family of Ood, and he and River were at this magnificent ball hosted an old friend of theirs and realized they had to get the Ood home, and there were still two missing.

"We better get going. We'll be back for breakfast!" River grabbed the Doctor's wrist, and they were out of the house before Amy and Rory could fully grasp what had happened.

"Do you think they'll be back for breakfast?" Rory asked.

"I'll set two extra places," Amy replied.

They did show up to breakfast - River in safari gear, the Doctor back in his tweed, and both covered head to foot in mud and elephant dung. Graciously, River offered to pay for new carpet after the Doctor tried clean up after them and wound up burning holes in the carpet instead.

Sadly, Amy's gran's good china did not survive the morning.
