Prologue

The TARDIS shuddered to a halt and the Doctor spun around, arms flapping like a bird, to face Amy excitedly. "It's 2994, and the premiere of one of the most celebrated movies of the 30th century. Think Empire Strikes Back or only better, no wait, scratch that it's nothing like that but you get the idea!"

Amy put her hands on her hips and stared at the Time Lord suspiciously as he started to groom himself in the mirror. It was downright weird that the Doctor was taking them to a movie premiere of all things. The Doctor liked to keep moving and Amy knew all too well how fidgety he got when he had to sit around. The year of the creepy Shakri cubes Amy and Rory had learned quickly not to invite the Doctor to watch a movie with them. It always ended with him squirming on the sofa, pointing out all the plot holes, and finally leaving the room all together two thirds of the way through to tinker with some gadget or other. So yes, a movie, no matter how good, was just too weird.

Amy and the Doctor both looked up toward the corridor as they heard River and Rory enter the console room. Amy smiled to herself happily as she saw how comfortable her husband and daughter were together. There had always been a slight tension between Rory and Mels and a slight awkwardness and overprotectiveness toward a young River. The River with them now was still quite young, only five years into her sentence at Stormcage, but Amy could see the beginnings of the fully confident woman she had first met at the Byzantium starting to form.

"Come on you slowpokes! We're going to be late for the film!" Rory and River glanced at each other quickly before looking at the Doctor incredulously.

"We're seeing a film?" Rory's question was laced with suspicion and Amy couldn't help but snort.

"Yes!" The Doctor exclaimed exasperatedly, shifting his shoulders around and glaring at his in-laws and wife. "I can occasionally sit through a movie."

"Forgive us our suspicion, sweetie." River said as she moved toward the Doctor and Rory walked over to Amy's side. "But this is something that has to be seen to be believed." The Doctor moved his face close to River's the way he always did when he was in the mood to flirt and lightly bopped her nose with his long finger. "I think you'll find River Song, that I'll show you quite a number of things you'll have to see to believe."

"Is that a spoiler, Doctor?"

"Quite a few actually."

"I'll be sure to bring my own surprises then."

"Oh, you did." The Doctor grinned with an odd gleam in his eye that made Amy just a bit uncomfortable.

"Oi! Before this flirting leads to the bedroom, I thought we had a movie to get to!"

"Amy." Rory admonished her in half exasperation and half relief as River and the Doctor jumped apart. River exhibited a rare blush before smiling and shrugging her embarrassment off.

The Doctor straightened his bowtie nervously. "Quite right, wouldn't do to miss the premiere. Come along Ponds!" The Doctor lead the way, pushing the TARDIS doors open. The four of them immediately stumbled into one of the biggest crowds Amy had ever seen. Aliens and humans of all shapes, colors, and sizes were moving past them toward the concession stands or the entrance to the theater. The Doctor pulled out his psychic paper and showed it briefly to the theater attendant and security guard standing nearby. They both nodded in acknowledgment of the Doctor before letting the four of them through.
"Now, the popcorn in this century is a bit rubbish but the candies are to die for! Literally, the sugar content is just that high so be sure to eat in moderation and clean your teeth afterward." Taking the Doctor's advice about the food Amy sent Rory to get some sodas while she looked at the various life size holo posters, wondering which one they would be seeing. Wandering about she stopped in front of one that caught her eye. The poster shifted between the figures of three aliens, a tree thing and a cute looking raccoon with a huge gun, each performing various action moves before settling for a minute on an ensemble picture with the title hovering above their heads.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2: DAUGHTERS OF THANOS

In small print at the bottom were the words BASED ON A TRUE STORY. On the side of the projector were two buttons that said trailer and summary. Hitting the summary button a brief description of the movie appeared in front of her.

In the second installment of this critically acclaimed historical

drama former assassin Gamora becomes caught between her duties as a hero

and a Guardian of the Galaxy and her duty to her two sisters Nebula and Melsa.

Caught in one of war criminal Thanos' traps, Star Lord must look to his

mysterious father for help if he wishes to keep his team and the galaxy safe.

"Guardians of the Galaxy! Really, Doctor?" Amy turned around to see River scowling harshly at the Doctor and Rory shifting awkwardly from foot to foot as he held up the tray of sodas.

"We're watching a sequel? And why is River angry at you?" Amy grabbed a soda from Rory and sipped before nodding approvingly at the flavor.

"Of course we're watching the sequel, it's the best one in the trilogy! And River's just cross because I found out she was going to be portrayed in it." Amy and Rory quickly looked to River for confirmation. She rolled her eyes and nodded but Amy could tell by the small smile threatening to break her stern expression that River was really quite flattered by all this. "The only reason The Doctor's taking us to see this is because I won't tell him what really happened."

Amy tried to wrap her head around it. "So those aliens aren't just action heroes? They're real people and you're one of the characters?"

River waved her hand flippantly. "I wouldn't count on it being too accurate, mum. It happened about a thousand years ago for the people in this time period."

"Yes, it will be a bit inaccurate but it's still a movie about you dear." The Doctor said excitedly, rubbing his hands together. "Now come on, we need to get good seats." At the Doctor's urging Amy and River hurried toward the correct theater, promising to save Rory a seat as he wanted to take a look at the trailer. Entering the dim room Amy let out a small gasp. It was less a theater and more like a coliseum. It was big enough to hold a football match, seating a few thousand people. Squinting down at the ground she could see several holo projectors getting some last minute maintenance just before the show while others flew around the floor of the stadium flashing various advertisements and trailers. Amy, River, and the Doctor and just found a mostly empty box with some very comfy lounge chairs and well placed cup holders when Amy spotted Rory entering the theater. She waited a few seconds while he adjusted to the size of the amphitheater before dialing his mobile.

"Hey, stupid face! We're in the top box to your left." She waved to show him their location and hung up when he waved back. The lights were dimming into blackness when Rory finally entered the box. He sat himself in the space between Amy and River with the Doctor on River's other side. He leaned himself over toward River's ear as the music started up and Amy strained to hear him.

"So who are these people exactly?"

River sipped from her soda before answering. "Bit of a cross between bounty hunters and interstellar police. Think the Avengers only a lot more dysfunctional." The Doctor shushed them and grinned mischievously when they turned to glare at him. Amy smiled amusedly and wrapped her arm around Rory's as she leaned back to watch the movie.

So I started this thinking Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter) would be a great addition to the Guardians of the Galaxy team, but then I realized she wasn't enough of an asshole and decided to fill up some of the missing days of Mels.
For those of you who have read and are waiting for an update on Paradise City...I'm working on it. Really I am! This was just screaming to be written though!
