A few weeks later The Tardis materialises in a small park across the road from groups of terraced houses. Athena poked her head out of the Tardis, the Doctor behind her holding her hand.
"No, Amy, it's definitely not the fifth moon of Cindie Colesta like the Doctor said" Athena throws a playful glare back at the Doctor, "I think I can see a Ryman's."
Suddenly an explosion rocketed through the console room, throwing Athena and the Doctor to the ground, and the Tardis started to dematerialize. Athena and the Doctor scramble to their feet staring at where the Tardis should have been.
"Amy! Amy!" The Doctor shouts, rubbing his face with his hands, Athena looks around getting a better look at the surroundings.
"Well, shit. Don't worry I know what's happening!" Athena gives the Doctor a non reassuring smile, "Sorry I can't spoil. It would mess with too many timelines"
"wouldn't expect anything less, my love" He frowns with a huff.
"You know full well I would give you all the answers if I could." She bumps hips with him with a smile and He slings an arm over her shoulder, "Come on Lord of Time"
The Doctor winces. "You know I hate that."
"Yep!" She laces her hand with his hand on her shoulder, "I'll get you started on this adventure then I want to find a pub 'cause you will be busy with this one."

After some time and much use of her abilities, she was able to get them on the right track. The Doctor pulled her behind him up to the flat they would stay at. He knocked on the door bouncing on his feet when Craig opened the door,
"I love you."
Athena scrunched her nose in secondhand embarrassment.
"Well, that's good, because I'm your new lodger. Do you know, this is going to be easier than I expected." The Doctor takes the fluffy pink keys from Craig.
"But I only put the advert up today. I didn't put my address."
"Well, aren't you lucky I came along? More lucky than you know. Less of a young professional, more of an ancient amateur, but frankly I'm an absolute dream." The Doctor grins and Athena snorted at his ramblings,
"Hang on a minute, mate. I don't know if I want you to stay. And give me back those keys. You can't have those." Craig snatched back the fluffy keychain back,
"Yes, quite right. Have some rent." The Doctor pulled out the paper sack from his jacket with way too many notes in it. Athena was not going to correct him as Craig would need it after dealing with the Doctor.
"That's probably quite a lot, isn't it? Looks like a lot. Is it a lot? I can never tell." The Doctor rambles as Craig goes wide-eyed at the amount in the bag, he steps back allowing the odd couple to step into the hallway. Athena glances up the stairs as the lights upstairs are flickering. "Don't spend it all on sweets, unless you like sweets. I like sweets. Ooo."
The Doctor gives Craig a couple of air kisses about six inches from each cheek much to Athena's horror.
"That's how we greet each other nowadays, isn't it? I'm the Doctor. Well, they call me the Doctor. I don't know why. I call me the Doctor, too. Still don't know why." He shrugs, "And this is Athena!"
"Craig Owens." He reaches out and shakes Athena's hand, "The Doctor?"
"Yep." The Doctor cranes his neck looking upstairs, "Who lives upstairs?"
"Just some bloke."
"What's he look like?" Athena smiles sweetly at Craig.
"Normal. He's very quiet." It seems that Craig spoke too soon as a loud crash sound from above, "Usually."
