Yes, I stole the title of the story from Kyle Minogue's song 'Two Hearts'. I thought it fit nicely. Also ironically she appeared in a Doctor Who episode. I didn't think carefully about what the title should be, but the song came to mind instantly, which is strange since I haven't really listened to it, maybe once or twice. Ah well, enough rambling, hope you enjoy chapter one. Oh and 5 reviews = chapter 2. More than 5 reviews = I will upload it quicker.
Unfortunately I don't own Doctor Who or any of the characters featured. The only thing I own in this story is the storyline itself. Although, if the BBC didn't mind, I would love it if they could lend me Matt Smith for the day ;)
The Doctor, Amy and Rory were heading towards the planet Uzurous for the newly wed's honeymoon. The Doctor had decided to take a slow ride there, to give time for Amy and Rory to pack a suitcase, using what they could find in the Tardis's wardrobe. The atmosphere however was odd. It wasn't exactly happy considering Amy and Rory had just gotten married. The Doctor was operating the Tardis, but he picked up on the atmosphere and looked at Amy. She was sat down near the centre console looking upset, regretful even. Rory meanwhile was too busy in one of the many rooms in the Tardis, most likely lost trying to find the wardrobe. The Doctor strolled over to Amy and crouched down in front of her.
"Amy, is there something wrong?" The Doctor whispered, in case Rory were to overhear. Amy lifted her eyes up from the floor to look the Doctor in the eyes. Her own eyes were red from crying.
"I've done something terrible, Doctor" she replied, sniffling. The Doctor softly put his hands on her shoulders.
"I doubt it, Pond, you've just married the love of your life!" he smiled. The Doctor still refers to her as Pond, and in fact he calls the married couple Mr and Mrs Pond.
"That's exactly it…" she said wiping her tears away.
"I'm afraid I don't follow…" the Doctor was puzzled, how can marrying the love of your life be a terrible thing to do? There's no logic behind it, he thought.
"Doctor, I don't love Rory – he isn't the love of my life!" she burst into tears uncontrollably, while the Doctor looked round to see if Rory was around; luckily he wasn't.
"Then why did you marry him?" The Doctor was even more confused now. The last time he checked, you only married someone if you knew they were the love of your life. He was sure this rule applied to all species. Well, except the Huru. They married each other out of boredom, no real reason other than that. I suppose they couldn't really love one another, especially since they weren't the best looking creatures in the universe, the Doctor's thoughts rambled on.
"Because…because I felt sorry for him, Doctor. All these years he's followed me like a lost puppy, attending to my every need. He's always been there, even when I wasn't there for him. Declining his proposal would be like throwing it all back in his face." She replied, and then continued sobbing away at her mistake.
"Did you not think that maybe declining him after you two married would be more like a huge kick in the…ahem…gentleman's area?" the Doctor asked, trying to crack a smile from Amy. Amy just collapsed into his arms, as she couldn't control her crying. She realised this and that was why she was so upset.
"What should I do?" Amy cried, clinging on to the Doctor's (now soaking wet from her tears) tweed jacket. "I want a divorce or some way of undoing the marriage" said Amy, her words muffled and barely audible as she was sobbing into the Doctor's jacket.
"Shhh, it's ok we'll sort something out." the Doctor comforted Amy, stroking her hair. He didn't really know what he could do to ease the pain on Rory once he announced "Oh yeh, by the way Rory, Amy doesn't actually love you, in fact, she married you out of pity and now wants a divorce." The Doctor let go of Amy and sat next to her, head in his hands trying to think. Amy interrupted his thoughts;
"Doctor, couldn't I just go back in time or something, and tell myself not to marry him?" Amy asked. She thought this was a bright idea. The Doctor thought about this.
"Yes, that would work…but you would have to find yourself at some point where you were alone. If someone were to see two Ponds, well, that would be…dangerous, let's just say."
"Well, let's do it then, what are we waiting for?" Amy replied, feeling slightly excited. She suddenly felt sick at herself to feel thrilled that she was going to tell her past self not to marry her current husband. But wait – she thought, what would happen to Rory? As in, present Rory? Would he suddenly just be unmarried? "Oh, Doctor; what will happen to Rory? You know, Rory of now. Will he be just Rory Williams once again?" she asked.
"Yes, he won't be married, but I imagine he won't be happy either. Actually he'll probably want to leave the Tardis as soon as possible, rather than travel with the woman who left him at the altar…" the Doctor said. Amy felt wicked now, and very cold hearted. She'd rather this than be stuck with plain old boring Rory Williams until the day one of them died. The Doctor entered in the coordinates and the Tardis landed in Amy's room on the dawn of her wedding. Amy slowly opened the door and saw herself sleeping in bed. Now was her chance. The Doctor quickly locked her bedroom door with the sonic screwdriver in case someone was to walk in and see firstly another Pond, and secondly a blue police box with an alien in the corner of her room. Too many questions would be asked. Amy crept over to where her past self was sleeping, and didn't know what to do. She felt stupid asking herself to wake up, so tried the Doctor's approach of calling her sleeping form 'Pond'.
"Wake up…Pond" she said, quietly but still loud enough to wake herself from her sleep. Her past self woke up and was shocked to see herself asking her to wake up. Gosh this is confusing, Amy thought. She covered her mouth so her past self wouldn't scream, and simply said "DON'T marry Rory. It will be the biggest mistake of your life. Or my life even. Anyway, you know you don't love him. I don't love him. I never loved him…" Amy was getting really confused as how to refer to her former self; as a separate person, or as if she was talking to herself? "Look, just, don't marry him, ok? Run somewhere; hide away all day where no one will find you". She looked back at the Doctor who was standing in the doorway of the Tardis. He simply put his thumbs up and went back inside. "Um, bye bye - Pond!" Amy quickly said and hurried back to the Tardis. The other Amy simply stared in amazement, but when Amy stepped back into the Tardis, it all made sense. She had something else to face though as the Tardis went back into space – Rory. He was standing just a few feet away, staring at Amy.
