The Pandorica Opens [Part 2]

Underhenge...

River had gone off to get help from the Romans. The Doctor and Lexi were examining the Pandorica while Amy lit more torches.

"So what's this got to do with the TARDIS?" Amy asked.

"Nothing, as far as I know." The Doctor replied.

"But Vincent's painting... the TARDIS was exploding, is that going to happen?" Lexi asked as she went around to the back of the Pandorica. She started tracing the pattern on the box. She could over hear The Doctor as he spoke.

"One problem at a time. There's forcefield technology inside this box. If I can enhance the signal, I could extend it all over Stonehenge. Could buy us half an hour."

"What good is half an hour?" Amy asked.

"There are fruit flies that live on Hoppledom 6 that live for 20 minutes and they don't even mate for life. There was going to be a point to that. I'll get back to you."

In front of the Pandorica...

Amy pulled the ring box from her pocket. "So... are you proposing to Lexi?"

"I'm sorry?" The Doctor asked surprised.

"I found this in your pocket."

The Doctor looked up and saw Amy holding the ring. "No. No, no, that's uh... a memory. A friend of mine, someone I lost." He reached for the box, but Amy pulled it away. "Do you mind?"

Behind the Pandorica...

Lexi leaned with her head against the back of the Pandorica as she listen to The Doctor and Amy talk.

"It's weird, I feel... I don't know. Something."

"Come on Amy. You can do it..." Lexi whispered to herself.

"People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces. Little things we can't quite account for. Faces in photographs, luggage, half eaten meals... rings... Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely."

In front of the Pandorica...

"...And if something can be remembered, it can come back."

Amy snapped the box closed and handed it back to The Doctor. "So, was she nice, your friend?"

The Doctor put the ring back in his pocket and headed back to the Pandorica to work on it. Lexi slowly walked back around to look at him. The Doctor stopped what he was doing and look at Amy and Lexi.

"Remember that night you two flew away with me?"

"Of course we do." They replied.

"And, Lexi, you asked me why I was taking you with me and I told you there wasn't a reason. I was lying."

"What, so you did have a reason?" Lexi asked.

"Your house."

"Our house." The twins echoed.

"You two shared a room, but why? You didn't have to. Your house was too big, too many empty rooms. Does it ever bother either of you that your lives don't make any sense?"

At that moment, a laser suddenly fired. It was from the Cyberman arm The Doctor had stepped on earlier. Amy and Lexi screamed and the trio hid on the opposite side of the Pandorica.

"Ok. What was that?" Amy asked.

"Need a proper look. Got to draw it's fire, give it a target."

"How?" Lexi asked.
