Day of the Moon [Part 4 - FINAL]

Inside, Silence ship, Day...

Any woke, a bright light in her eyes. She was strapped to one of the tables tilted upright.

"Where am I?" She questioned. "Where is this?"

One of the Silence turned to face her. "You are Amelia Pond."

"You're ugly." She shot back. "Has anyone ever mentioned that to you?"

"We do you honor." The Silence hissed out. "You will bring the Silence. But your part will soon be over."

"Whatever that means, you've made a big mistake bringing me here, because wait till you see what's coming for you now."

"You have been here many days." It told her.

"No. I just got here." She disagreed. "You just put me in here."

"Your memory is weak. You have been here many days."

"No." She shook her head. "No, I can't have been."

"You will sleep now. Sleep." It began to lean over her.

"No! No!" She resisted. "Get off me!"

"Sleep." It hissed.

"No! No!"

Just then, the TARDIS materialized.

The Silence turned to stare at it as the Doctor, Lexi, Sky, Jupiter, River and Rory all stepped out. The Doctor was carrying a TV while River had her gun out.

"Oh! Interesting." The Doctor commented. "Very Ackman Road, seen one of these before. Abandoned, wonder how that happened. Oh, well! I suppose I'm about to find out. Lexi, River, Rory, Sky, Jupiter, keep one Silent in eyeshot at all times. Oh, hello, sorry. You're in the middle of something. Just had to say though, have some telly? Hello, Amy, you alright? Want to watch some television?" He set the TV on the Silence's console. "Ah, now, stay where you are. Because look at me, I'm confident. You want to watch that, me, when I'm confident. Oh, and this is my friend River. Nice hair, clever, has her own gun, and unlike me, she really doesn't mind shooting people. And I know you're team players and everything, but she'll definitely kill at least the first three of you."

"The first seven, easily." River corrected, moving so the she and the Doctor were standing back-to-back.

"Seven, really?"

"Oh, maybe eight." She shrugged.

"Just out of curiosity, do either of you have your own gun?" Lexi leaned over a little to whisper to Sky and Jupiter.

"No." Sky whispered back.

"Our father isn't really fond of weapons and kind of passed that behavior on to us." Jupiter stated in agreement.

"Now mummy, she will take arms if she needs to." Sky explained. "But, that is only in the direst of situations."

"As I was saying..." The Doctor's voice brought them back to the instance they were all in. "My naughty friend here is going kill the first three of to attack, plus him behind. So maybe you want to draw lots, or have a quiz."

Rory had went over and was now trying to free Amy.

"What's he got?" Amy asked him.

"Something, I hope."

The Doctor began to walk around the Silence's console. "Or maybe you could just listen a minute, because all I really want to do is accept your total surrender, and then I'll let you go in peace. You've been interfering in human history for thousands of years. People have suffered and died. But what's the point in two hearts, if you can't be a bit forgiving now and then." He stared into the leader's face. "Ooh! The Silence. You guys take that seriously, don't you? Okay, you got me, I'm lying. I'm not really going to let you go that easily. Nice thought, but it's not Christmas. First," He then turned on the TV. "you tell me about the girl. Who is she? Why is she important? What's she for? Guys, sorry. But you're way out of time. Now, come on, a bit of history for you. Aren't you proud, because you helped?" He then pulled out the TV antennae. "Do you know how many people are watching this live on the telly? Half a billion, and that's nothing, because the human race will spread out among the stars, you just watch them fly. Billions and billions of them, for billions and billions of years. And every single one of them, at some point in their lives, will look back at this man, taking that very first step, and they will never, ever forget it." The Doctor stopped and watched as the moon landing unfolded. "Oh." He took out his phone. "But they'll forget this bit." He then spoke into the phone. "Ready?"
