Earth In All It's Glory...Yeah, Right! *open*

[amy]

Amy sighed as she wandered around London, bored as hell and a bit angry. She and Rory had been arguing again, about the same thing as always; them not being married. Rory wanted to, badly; Amy, on the other hand, wasn't sure if she did anymore. She swallowed. It had been bugging her for ages; did she really want to get married? It wasn't Rory, no, it wasn't. Was it? Amy really didn't know anymore. She sighed, and recalled the harsh words that had left both hers and Rory's mouth..

"Well maybe I don't want you to marry me!" Rory had said.

"WELL MAYBE YOU ARE THE REASON I DON'T WANT TO GET MARRIED!!!" Amy had flung back.

And then she had stormed out. Rory hadn't shown any sign of hurt or sadness, merely anger. But Amy was angry too, and she knew that any argument she had with people, she'd always get the last word, or she'd be the one to hurt them the most. She didn't know if she liked that or not. Amy finally plonked herself down on a bench, sighing deeply. This whole marriage thing was silly, and the arguments they had...the amount of arguments there were...it was just sick!

[Ace McShane]

Ace leaned against a tree and rolled up her sleeve and looked at her watch, softly “Come one I’m on a set time schedule.” she had to do what she had to do quickly then get out before anybody knew she had, had any contact with Amy.

Ace sighed slightly with relief when she saw Amy plonk herself down on a near bench “Show time.” she knew this was going to awkward but she had a job to do and this was one little time hiccup she could hopefully nail out in a couple of minutes.

Sliding onto the bench next to Amy, not close enough to touch her but close enough to try to bring across they’ve met before...or will at least, someday “Wanna talk about it?”

[amy]

Amy looked up and smiled. For her, she'd already met Ace in her timeline. "Hey Ace. Well...kinda...but you might not want to hear, I might end up ranting. It's about Rory, if you didn't know already." Amy explained. She glanced around then back at Ace.

Amy was, which was probably why she was so frustrated lately, missing the TARDIS, Time and Space and most of all, the Doctor. He was her best friend and she hadn't seen him in ages. But she had no idea how to get in contact with him...she didn't know the TARDIS number, she had it written down somewhere she thought but Amy knew that there were so many boxes in her house she wouldn't find it anytime soon.

[Ace McShane]

"Hey Ace. Well...kinda...but you might not want to hear, I might end up ranting. It's about Rory, if you didn't know already." Ace sighed and relaxed against bench, sofly “Thank goodness for that.” she hadn’t looked forward to the explaining of how she knew Amy if Amy hadn’t known her. Ace always thought Amy was a smart girl but the whole explaining thing was never Ace’s area of expertise.

“Some times...a good rant, is all we need to cool down and get our head on straight.”

[amy]

Amy giggled. "Let me guess, you were worried I didn't know you yet?" she asked. She grinned a bit. "Well, wouldn't that be awkward?" a laugh escaped her lips, but not a teasing one, no, Amy respected Ace and liked her, so she wouldn't tease her. She'd only tease the Doctor, really. No idea why.

Amy listened, then nodded. "Well, yeah, but when I rant, it takes a while. And it bores people if I rant to them. Unless I rant to..." Amy trailed off. "the Doctor. He never minded if I ranted at him. He always managed to calm me down." she said softly, but loud enough for Ace to here.

[Ace McShane]

"Let me guess, you were worried I didn't know you yet?" Ace smiled a tiny bit “There was an off chance of that, yes.” she shouldn’t be here as it was, so there had always been the chance Amy would have no idea who she was. Ace laughed a little bit “Yes, it could have been very awkward.”

Ace reached over and playfully shook Amy “Oh Ms. impossible Amy Pond, Two things. One, I’ve got all the time in the world.” She really didn’t but for any companion, past or future of The Doctor, Ace would make the time. “Two, I’ve never known you to ever be a bore.” Ace turned to face Amy, and then pulled her legs up so she was sitting Indian style on the bench “Spill.”

[amy]

Amy nodded, grinning at Ace's words, then looked at her, and then explained; Rory, marriage, unsure, the arguments, perhaps him thinking of them separating...all of it. When she'd finished (and added a few very angry rants about Rory and his idiotic...self) she looked at Ace, taking a deep breath.

"That felt good. I'm surprised you didn't fall asleep during the middle of the explanation!" Amy joked. She then ran a hand through her flaming hair, sighing a little. "I honestly don't think anything can fix this, Ace. And that also causes a problem; if this isn't fixed, River won't have been born and...oh, so many things could go wrong." she said.

[Ace McShane]

Ace sat listening to Amy while she ranted about Rory and everything, Ace tried to not let the feeling of dread wash over her face when Amy said that there was a possibility of Rory thinking about separating, she’d have to stop in and have a conversation with Rory as well when she got a chance. Amy and Rory belonged with each other but they’d have to come to that on their own. To much rode on whether or not they stayed together.

"That felt good. I'm surprised you didn't fall asleep during the middle of the explanation!" Ace smirked “I have a very long attention span for the things of importance.” "I honestly don't think anything can fix this, Ace. And that also causes a problem; if this isn't fixed, River won't have been born and...oh, so many things could go wrong." she realized it was probably a stupid question but she was going to ask it anyway. “Have you tired talking to Rory about how you feel, and I mean proper talk, no shouting, or yelling just sitting down and the both of you airing your feelings?” Somewhere in the back of her mind she could just see The Doctors face if he saw Amy and herself, and was immensely glad he wasn’t there.

[amy]

Amy grinned, then sighed deeply. "I have tried but we always end up yelling at each other from there. Either he moves out or stays at a mates or whatever. This has happened so many times. I'm getting so sick of it."

Amy sighed. She kept her focus on Ace, but she was remembering things; the Doctor when they first met, him taking her into the TARDIS, picking up Rory, aliens, monsters, Vincent van Gogh...then she snapped out of it and kept her attention on Ace.

[Ace McShane]

“Maybe...maybe you two need a third party character, ya?” Ace watched Amy, studying her reaction “Like, ok hear me out. You contact The Doctor... wait what was the last place the three of you went to together?” her suggestion depended on where Amy was in her own personal timeline.

[amy]

"Maybe." Amy said thoughtfully. "It might help." she listened, then sighed. "I've lost the bit of paper with the TARDIS number on, so..and it was River's wedding.." she said. "But it might not happen now..." Amy sighed deeply. "And it's my fault."

[Ace McShane]

Ace shook her head thinking “Na,” she reached forward and lightly squeezed Amys shoulder I've lost the bit of paper with the TARDIS number on, so..and it was River's wedding.." “Look I’m suppose to let you two find the solution on your own but, I’m sure I’m able to give a little bit of help.” Ace reached into her jacket and pulled out a note pad, and started to write down two numbers.

“I make no promises the numbers still the same but here’s the one I normally use, the TARDIS is smart she’ll more than likely get you to the right Doctor when she sees who’s calling.” Ace glanced at her watch for a second, then wrote down the second number “And if it doesn’t work, or you need help with anything else here’s my number.”

[amy]

"Thanks Ace." when Ace was finished Amy put the paper in her pocket and hugged Ace. "A lot. I'll make sure to call you if I reach the Doctor and let you know what's happening."

[Ace McShane]

Ace hadn’t been expecting Amy to hug her so she held her hands out to the side for a moment hesitating, not really knowing how to react, softly “Hugging...ok?” she slowly hugged Amy back ”I'll make sure to call you if I reach the Doctor and let you know what's happening." “Ok, but do me a favor don’t let him know...how you got the number, or that you saw me.” Ace let go of Amy and glanced at her watch again “Shoot, I’ve gotta go Amy, promise me you’ll talk to Rory ok?” She poked Amys nose some, “You’re a smart girl Amy you’ll think of something."

With that said Ace smiled and nodded a goodbye before walking off and around a corner. She pulled out her time hopper and hit the button transporting herself out of the area.

[amy]

"I won't, I promise." she smiled. Then she sighed. "I also promise I'll talk to Rory." Amy's face turned disgusted at the word Rory, but she then grinned when Ace said she was smart. Amy waved and then looked around her thoughtfully.
