Hello! In case you were wondering, this is not the second part to my other story! It's a completely different one, yay! I hope. If you are slightly confused, this is right before Amy kisses the Doctor in her room and he finds out she's getting married. Starts off on a completely random planet that won't have a name until the third chapter:)

Disclaimer: I do not own anything relating to Doctor who, and it's actors and sadly I also do not own the BBC :( Oh well, I can dream...

Hope you enjoy!

-Chapter 1-

Amy Pond was standing on what was possibly the weirdest ground she had ever stood on in her life. The grass like stuff was purple and the air had a hint of jasmine in it. She grinned to herself, this was amazing. She had only been traveling with the Doctor a few weeks, even though really when she got home it would only be a day gone. At first it had been hard to wrap her head around all this time and space travel stuff but it was so amazing all the same.

The Doctor had run off for a bit to talk to an old friend and she had hung back in the meadows. Actually she had just met another human girl, strangely enough. The Doctor never mentioned other people could time travel too. Probably didn't want to seem less cool.

This girl though, she had been really nice, if a bit distracted. And her hair was gorgeous too; Amy always did love blonde hair. Oh, she was so rubbing this right in the Doctors face, his bubble needed to be popped every once and awhile, or else his ego was just too much.

About half an hour later, Amy met back up with the Doctor just as she was about to buy some of the local food.

"Ah no no no, she doesn't want that, thank you!" he said, swiftly moving the bag back to the vendor and turning Amy around.

"Hey, what was that for?" she complained.

"You'll thank me later when you're not in the bathroom. That stuff has a slight tendency to be...well think of the most disgusting thing you've ever tasted."

"Yeah?"

"What is it?"

"I dunno, pig's feet."

"Pig's feet! Eugh, why would you eat a pig's foot? Anyway, the stuff you were about to buy is about a thousand times worse. Mostly people who want to throw up eat that. Well no, I suppose the locals like it well enough. They have a huge festival dedicated to it, goes on once every seven months. Be glad the TARDIS was nice today."

"You mean be glad you didn't accidentally send us there with your less than accurate driving?"

"Hey! I am a fantastic pilot and you know it."

"Yeah, not so much, need I bring up the lateness of all this?" she said raising an eyebrow. She didn't actually pull that one on him all that much, she knew he did feel really bad about it. And she had forgiven him.

He made a face. "I am very sorry about that, as I've said. Time travel can be a bit unpredictable."

"Uh huh, and by the way, you know how you said you were the only one who could do it? Travel in time?" she said dramatically, motioning with her hands.

"I am! One and only TARDIS!" he said puffing his chest a little, and he had that smug look back on his face.

Amy rolled her eyes. "Liar."

"I'm not! I have the last TARDIS anywhere."

"Well then someone has got something better because I just met a girl from round my time." Amy said, pretending to be interested in a random flower by the path.

The Doctor stopped in his tracks. No. She couldn't have possibly met any human girl from her time era. Time travel wasn't even that massively researched then. No one wanted to fund it. Well things had fallen in the hands of a random human before... "Amy. Was that a joke?" he said catching up to her again.

"Ha! You admit it? Not the one and only time traveler?" she teased.

"Amy this is important. Space travel during your time wasn't anywhere near advanced enough to get anywhere near this planet, much less the time travel it would take." he looked serious now. Really serious. He almost never got that serious. He had always been part way joking on random fun trips like this.

"Doctor, she was human. Completely. She laughed when I asked. She had this little scanner thing and she used it on herself then me, and both were human. She even had a London accent. She was human."

The Doctor froze for a second. London accent, well that was the TARDIS, but...a human traveling in space and time...no. No that was impossible. Stop that! Stop thinking there could be any way that it would be her, he told himself repeatedly. It can't. It isn't. She's happy. She's in another bloody universe. And happy. She wouldn't be here. She couldn't be. But his other half wouldn't listen to rational thought.

Amy noticed his face, like he was thinking very hard about something but for a split second she saw a bit of panic. "Doctor...is it bad?"

"Um...no. Where is she? Um, now? This human from the twenty first?"

"Dunno, she said she had to go. She was looking for this bloke...why do you know her?"

"Possibly, I mean not very many people would be calm and on a planet so far off from their own...describe her." he looked...well different. Like he had even more walls up than he usually did. His eyes looked more guarded than they had been since her first trip with him and he thought he was going to have to kill the Starwhale.

"Doctor...are you feeling alright?"

"Perfect. Seriously Amy, what did she say to you? Everything."

"Well let's go sit down then, I was with her awhile..."

Instead of sitting, the Doctor dragged her back to the TARDIS. Now she was in the jump seat and he was leaning on the console.

"Alright, so I was walking around that meadow-y place you ran off from. Wasn't paying attention to much, and she bumped into me. I mean I wasn't looking in that direction at the time but..."

"But what?"

"Well she sort of came from out of nowhere. All of a sudden she was just there. Like there was this little noise and all of a sudden she backed into me."

He bit his tongue. Stop thinking like that. He couldn't think like that. So a random girl popped out of thin air and there was a little noise, tons of things could do that. Well maybe tens. Well no, actually two. Well considering she was from Earth and was most likely close around Amy's time...one. Darn. His heart wasn't listening to him, it kept beating in a rather fast way and he had to clear his throat. "Go on."

-Flash back-

"Oh my god, sorry! Wow so sorry! Wasn't...looking I suppose." the blonde girl said helping Amy up after accidently bumping into her and knocking her over.

Amy just laughed. "It's fine! Hello, I'm Amy."

"Hi, I'm-

"Wait Amy she knocked you over? That was a bit rude." the Doctor interrupted. Actually he honestly didn't care if this girl had accidently bumped into Amy but he really didn't want to hear the name in case it slightly resembled a certain one and he really didn't want to get his hopes up any further. Not yet.

"No...she apologized. Doctor, are you...wait, is this like a friend of yours?" she asked raising her eyebrow.

"No." he said a bit too high pitched than it should be.

"How do you know? I haven't said her name or what she looks like." Amy asked, narrowing her eyes.

"I-I-I just... I didn't want to...I mean that...yes. I don't know."

"Doctor..." Amy started.

"Can you just..."

"Yeah sure, whatever you say." she said. He was acting...different. Not like himself. At all.

-Flash back-

"Nice to meet you too." Amy said shaking her hand. "Not to sound rude or anything but uh...are you...I mean you do look like, well, me."

The girl smiled. "Yeah don't worry 'bout it. I'm human. Bit obvious I know. And you are too?"

"Uh yeah but..." The Doctor had told her before to not trust people that just say they're human.

She laughed a bit, but somehow it sounded odd, like she wasn't actually that happy. "Yeah I know that too. Here. Picked this up from my job back home." she said pulling out some metal thing. She pressed to her thumb and it pricked her. She held it up so Amy could read it.

SPECIES: HUMAN / APROXIMATE AGE: NOT DETERMINED

"Not determined?" Amy asked.

"Yeah never worked right for me, must be result of the whole traveling without a capsule thing." She said like it was an everyday term, while it made no sense to Amy.

"Without a what?"

"Never mind. Mind if it checks you? Don't worry it doesn't hurt." The girl said and Amy shrugged and nodded.

"Wait, you let her take a sample of your blood? Amy that is-"

"Stop interrupting!"

SPECIES: HUMAN / APROXIMATE AGE: 22

"Oh that's good!" Amy said smiling.

The girl grinned. "Yeah I know right? Perks of having a job with a posh company, yeah?"

"Yeah that is really cool but, mind if I ask why you're...well here?"

"Don't know the name of the planet?" the girl asked and honestly Amy hadn't even heard the Doctor when he said the name of it. She had been a bit distracted by the whole purple grass thing.

"Course I do! It's just that 'here' is shorter..." she tried but the girl just smirked.

"Yeah. And I'm...well looking for a bloke. Sounds a bit...yeah I know exactly how that sounds actually. But it's a specific one. A really, really specific one actually. Complicated to say the least."

"It's not that big of a city though, can't be that hard."

The girl laughed. "With his luck he's down trapped by some snatchers...oh actually that's a real possibility...anyway, he's not easy to find in the least."

"Are you a bounty hunter?" Amy asked a bit excitedly. She did have that thing that told her what people were, and she had traveled in space and time.

"Oh nah, nothing that cool. I've just, well...lost him. This is the third time I've had to find him again actually. You'd think I'd get it right the second time." the girl looked even more distant for a second and then she smiled again. This time Amy noticed. The girl was faking that smile.

"Is this your...well don't get offended but boyfriend?"

The girl looked a bit sad. "Now that...that is a great question. I mean it's just...yeah complicated s'great word."

"Don't mind me asking again, but how long ago did you lose him?" Amy didn't exactly know why but this girl gave her a weird feeling, not a bad one though. Just like she wanted to help her, like she needed to help her.

"Oh, even better question. A long time. Really long time. He keeps moving and I'm afraid my dimension cannon and vortex manipulator aren't quiet as fast as his way, or as precise but then again he isn't the most accurate driver."

Amy laughed. "Oh I know that feeling! My friend is the worst! And he never admits to it! Always says he 'wanted' to go there." Amy said rolling her eyes.

She grinned. "Oh tell me about it, mines the same. Men, what can you do...oh. I've been here a bit long...and...I don't think he's here, no explosions or angry villagers." she sighed but then shook it off. "I really need to find him."

"You will, I know it."

"That's not even the big problem, I need to find the right one..." she mumbled. "Anyway, Amy, it was really nice to meet you, haven't stayed still and talked in ages. I really hope I see you again. But I've got to go. If I don't find him soon...well I'll actually I'll still be looking anyway."

"You know, I'd do the same for mine. His name's Rory. Actually...I'm supposed to be marrying him but I...sort of ran off..."

The girl looked back at her very seriously. "Amy go back to him. Trust me. If you miss a chance like that it... If you'd look for him, he'd look for you too. And I know what it is to have missed a chance like that." the she smiled. "Wanna see something cool?"

Amy grinned. "What are you going to do, disappear?"

The girl winked and hit a button on her wrist thing. Then there was a bright light and the girl was gone.

"Then I walked around a bit and saw the food and them you came and here we are." Amy finished. She had skimmed a bit and skipped over the part about the whole marrying Rory thing...didn't want to jinx anything.

The Doctor hadn't even blinked since she had said Dimension Cannon. He had barely breathed. No. Not possible. That was what his brain said, his heart on the other hand was pumping a mile a minute, yes, yes, yes. He...maybe it wasn't her. If it wasn't her...

"You know her." Amy said and it wasn't a question this time.

"What did...she look like?" he asked quietly. Amy had almost never heard him talk like that. So so very few times. And none of them were exactly happy times.

"Um, bit shorter than me, well I've got boots so maybe bout the same. She was blonde, hair to her shoulders, but her roots were a bit brown, like she hadn't had time to touch them up. She had this black leather jacket..."

The Doctor stopped hearing what Amy was saying, even though she kept talking. The sound of his hearts pounding seemed to drown out everything else. He felt his hearts clench up and his stomach squeeze like they hadn't in a while. A long while. Like he had tried to never let them do again. Like this body had never felt before. Strangely he remembered this feeling all too well. So, so many nights...and some days too. But...there was still a chance it wasn't. Although now he was hoping beyond hope that it was, so really it was too late. He wanted it to be. He...he needed it to be. He had heard too much. He should never have asked. He should have brushed it off. He should never have left that beach...

"Doctor?" Amy called. She knew as soon as he stopped listening. He got that far off look of his again. Almost as trademark as his cocky grin.

"Hm?" he acknowledged quietly. She noticed his knuckles had got white.

"Do you want to know her name?"

The Doctor closed his eyes. Yes. Yes he did. But he really shouldn't. It wouldn't end well if he did. She...no. But if she was here...but if it was the wrong one...the wrong timeline... but if he never knew then his hearts just might shrivel up. He used to think he would be fine never seeing her again...not anymore. He opened his eyes and looked up at Amy. "Tell me."

"Rose. Her name was Rose Tyler."
