A/N: ttobba95 agreed to help me with the Doctor's lines for this fanfic, since I'm better with Corey and Laney's lines.


"Welcome to the Tardis!" the Doctor said once Corey and Laney were inside. "I'm sure you remember the old girl!"

"Whoa..." Corey commented. Laney was in awe. The Tardis felt familiar to them, yet it was strange to be seeing it with new, younger eyes.

"You okay?" the Doctor said, seeing the expressions on the kids' faces.

Corey spoke up again. "Yeah, I'm alright. It's just... Everything looks different," he said, noticing how the control room looked different from his and Laney's dreams.

"What? You don't like it?" the Doctor asked.

"No, it's cool," Corey answered "Someone's obviously been redecorating."

"So Doctor, any plans for our real final adventure?" Laney asked.

"Hmmm..." the Doctor pondered. "I'll come up with something. I've got a few ideas. In the meantime, why don't you have a look around? Hopefully the Tardis kept your room."

"And the bunk beds?" Laney smirked.

The Doctor blushed lightly for a second before replying. "Come on! It's a bed with a ladder! How is that not cool?"

The redhead chuckled. "Same reason your bowtie isn't. It's old and waaaayyyy out of fashion!"

"Oh..." The Doctor made a face. "Amelia Pond. Amy..." he smiled "Never change. Never change a bit!" he said before the two children headed up the stairs and into the Tardis corridors.

"And Laney?" the Doctor called after them. "Bowties are cool! Just thought I'd let you know!"


When Corey and Laney arrived in their room, they noticed how very little had changed. Even the bunkbeds were still there. But the biggest surprise was in the room's closet.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Laney said, holding up a short skirt. "I haven't worn this stuff in years!"

"There's no way the Doctor set this up," Corey said.

As if on cue, the computer monitor came on, replaying various clips of every single one of Rory and Amy's adventures. One could say it was the Tardis' way of saying: 'I remember your previous lives.'

"I can't believe this," Laney said. "The Tardis actually recognizes us."

"Maybe we're the only ones it actually likes," Corey guessed.


While Corey and Laney were getting dressed, the Doctor was left on his own in the Tardis console room. He fiddled around with some buttons and switches, both to keep the Tardis in flight and to prevent boredom, when a thought entered his head. "What happened to the Ponds?" he found himself pondering. He had never considered the possibility of human resurrection. He had seen his inhuman enemies resurrect themselves from death many times, but very rarely did his companions actually come back to him.

The Doctor pulled round a small screen and brought up the Tardis occupant records for Amy Pond and Rory Williams. He saw their first adventures, their good and bad times, up to Manhattan where the Weeping Angel sent them both back in time. After that, the screen suddenly became jumbled with static and the Doctor thought it had malfunctioned, but it hadn't. The recollection of the lives of the Ponds continued, though now showing Amy as a small redhead girl in a boy's green and black t-shirt and Rory as a blue-haired guitarist with a beanie on. He saw the lives these children lead as members of an amateur band as he viewed their timeline. The adventures of the reincarnated Ponds included a wedding performance, a beauty pageant, a frozen timeline ruled by something similar to the Cyberiad, and entering dreams. He then managed to see ahead up until Corey and Laney managed to 'call' him. The Tardis then showed him one final scene. What was in store for their future. "Oh... Oh dear..." the Doctor uttered, his green eyes widening as he ran a hand through his long, floppy locks.*

At that moment, Corey and Laney showed up, already dressed. Corey wore a blue and red striped t-shirt, a light blue buttoned-up shirt, a denim vest, blue jeans, me black boots. Laney wore a red jumper, a dark orange jacket, dark brown shorts, black leggings, and pale orange decorative boots. Her hair was brushed straight and she wore a maroon barrette to keep the red locks out of her face.

"What's wrong?" Corey asked.

Startled, the Doctor pushed the screen away and trusted the Tardis to close its records. "Nothing!" he lied. "Just...checking up on you." As he spoke, he noticed what Corey and Laney had now decided to change into. He couldn't resist the smile that crept onto his face.

"Okay, what's with the cheesy grin?" Laney asked.

"Look at you," the Doctor said. "It's almost like you never left the Tardis. The old girl remembers you!" He stroked the console. "Don't you Sexy?" he whispered, before realising there were children present. He stood upright and addressed his new/old friends.

"The Girl and Boy Who Waited," he said "One waited fourteen years, the other two-thousand. But you always manage to find each other. Amy and Rory Pond. A fairytale woven throughout time and space."

"Actually, it's Corey Riffin and Laney Penn now," the blue-haired boy corrected.

"But you can call us by our old names," Laney blurted out. She smiled softly. "If you want to."

The Doctor blushed again. "Sorry," he said. "It's just... It's been a while since New York and I had almost lost hope of ever seeing you again." Then the Doctor's smile returned. "But here you are again. The Ponds, in the Tardis, with the silly old Doctor. Just like old times!"

"Hang on," Corey said, suddenly realizing the change in scenery. "Did you change this back to the previous setting?"

"Course I did," the Doctor answered.

"Aw..." Laney said. "I was starting to like the newer design."

"Hey!" the Doctor made a playful frown. "I just had to jettison the library with the swimming pool, the football arena and my brand new bedroom in order to shift the console room design back to this- And that was your trademark wit, wasn't it?"

Laney couldn't help but smile in amusement. "You think?" she asked.

"Nice to see how some things are the same," the Doctor said.

"Yep!" Laney responded "And Corey's still a goofball!"

At this, Corey blushed lightly. Laney moved close to him and put an arm around him. "But he's my goofball. I can't help but love him!"

"Th-Thanks, Lanes," Corey spoke, feeling his face heat up.

The Doctor smiled and observed the couple before him, when suddenly the Tardis started to shake, indicating the intergalactic time machine was in flight. "And we're off!" he exclaimed. "The Doctor and the Ponds off again on an adventure in time and space!"

Laney giggled as she and her friend clutched the TARDIS console as she flew. "You always liked to be overdramatic, don't you Raggedy Man?"

"You know it," the Doctor happily said. "Come along, Ponds! Geronimo!"


*What the Doctor saw was from the not-yet-aired Grojband two-parter 'Here Us, Rock!'. Unfortunately, I can't tell you why he looked worried. I reeeeeally don't want to get in trouble with the creators for spoiling the Season 1 finale.
