And one star at least is still burning brightly, late at night. The red pinwheel turns in the breeze in the garden. Upstairs, a little red haired girl is saying her prayers. "Dear Santa. Thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I don't wake you, but, honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know it's not, because at night there's voices. So, please, please, could you send someone to fix it, or a policeman, or.." A strange wind whistles outside. "Back in a moment." She runs to the window, but there is nothing there. The moon hangs in a starless sky, and she frowns sadly at the sight.

Christine and Sharon walk across the hallway from the kitchen to the living room. Someone in a red fez puts a leaflet through the door. Amelia runs down to get it. It is titled The Anomaly, and features the Pandorica at the National Museum. Someone has written on it in red ink - Come along, Pond.

Amelia stops to look at the exhibit of petrified Daleks, then pushes through the people standing looking at the Pandorica. Someone snatches her Original Cola drink from her. Suddenly there is a post-it note on the Pandorica, saying Stick around, Pond. "Amelia!" Amelia runs to hide, "Amelia? Amelia?" The little girl stays hidden until closing time. "Amelia!" She could still faintly hear her aunt yelling her name. "Amelia Pond, please go to the reception, please. Your aunt is waiting for you there. Amelia Pond, please go to reception." Later still, Amelia creeps out from the Penguin display, knocking some over. "Sorry." She returns to the Pandorica and removes the post-it note. She puts her hand on the Pandorica and starts to open. Amelia backs away with wide eyes as the person inside speaks to her. "Okay, kid. This is where it gets complicated."

Rory has the body of Amy lying across his lap, Pieta-style. "So the universe ended. You missed that, in 102 AD. I suppose this means you and I never get born at all. Twice, in my case. You would have laughed at that. Please laugh. The Doctor said the universe was huge and ridiculous, and sometimes there were miracles. I could do with a ridiculous miracle about now." The Doctor and Kate pops in from thin air, he's wearing a red fez and carrying a mop; while Kate is normal. She coughs gently as The Doctor claps his hands together. "Rory! Listen, she's not dead. Well, she is dead, but it's not the end of the world. Well, it is the end of the world. Actually, it's the end of the universe. Oh, no. Hang on." They vanish again, "Kate? Doctor? Doctor!" He reappears, without the mop and without Kate. "You need to get is out of the Pandorica." The Doctor demands with a raised eyebrow at the man. "But you're not in the Pandorica." Rory states with a frown.
