Bailee's POV-
The Doctor looked at us in surprise, with sadness in his old green eyes. He turned to Amy. "Amelia Pond. What happened?"
"Twelve years" she replied, emotionless.
"You hit me with a cricket bat" he says.
"Twelve years."
"A cricket bat!" He says again.
I speak. "Twelve years and four psychiatrists." I hate what I went through. It was okay for Amy, she just agreed with what they said so she didn't have to go through the interrogation process like I did, she just reassured me that she still believed in The Doctor when we left. But no matter how much I couldn't believe he was coming back, I had hope, hope that against my very belief he would return, and whisk me off to some planet outside of the Milky Way.
"Four?" The Doctor replied, shocked.
"Yes, four. I kept biting them." I retorted. It wasn't nice, but hey, I was very not cool with what they were telling me.
"Why?" He looked thoroughly confused now.
"They said you weren't real." I murmured, blushing at how stupid it sounded. He looked touched. Suddenly, interrupting the moment, the speakers of the ice cream van that was parked at the side of the road came to life.
"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated. Repeat."
"No, no, no, come on. What? We're being staked out by an ice-cream van." Amy exclaims in annoyance and slight humility rather than anything else like anger or fear.
"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."
The Doctor walked over to the owner of the ice cream van. "Why are you playing that?"
"It's supposed to be Claire de Lune"
What a normal tune for an ice cream van.
"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated. Repeat. Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated." A radio nearby comes on, startling me. Then Amy's phone in her pocket, then a random joggers iPod.
"Doctor, what's going on?" I ask nervously.
"Repeat, Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."
The Doctor, nice man as he is, grabs mine and Amy's hand and runs across the street into old Mrs Angelo's home, catching her staring at her tv remote in a confused manner.
"Hello Mrs Angelo" Amy says politely."What's wrong?"
"It's the tv Amy dear, it doesn't seem seem to be showing anything other than this ghastly program." On the tv was the blue eye that appeared in Amy's room all those years ago, still saying "Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."
"Amy? It was Amelia five minutes ago." The Doctor says stupidly.
"Twelve years for everyone else Doctor." I remind him, at the same time Amy says "Amelia was a bit too... fairy tale." I see the look in The Doctors eyes and can tell he is crushed for a moment, but he blinks his eyes and the emotions are masked.
"Who are your friends Amy?" Mrs Angelo asks. The Doctor looks at me, very surprised that she knows Amy but not me.
"I'm The Doctor and this is Bailee" he announces.
"Aww you two youngsters look like such a good couple." Mrs Angelo says out of the blue. The Doctor and I both look surprised and exchange glances, with Amy in front of us holding her stomach with tears rolling down her faces, barely containing her laughter. I didn't get what was so funny.
"Oh no we're not a thing" The Doctor says brightly, clearing up any misconceptions about mine and The Doctors relationship.
"Repetez. Le Prisonnier. Zero wird der menschliche." The voice comes out of the radio.
"Ok, so it's everywhere and in every language." I say. "They're broadcasting to the whole world."
The Doctor beams at me. "Okay. Planet this size, two poles, your basic molten core? They're going to need a forty percent fission blast. But they'll have to power up first, won't they? So assuming a medium sized starship, that's 20 minutes. What do you think, twenty minutes? Yeah, twenty minutes. We've got twenty minutes." A man strutted into the room in the middle of The Doctor talking to himself, presumably to investigate what the noise was.
"Jeff." I say coldly. We have history. He doesn't even acknowledge me.
"Twenty minutes to what?" Amy asks.
Jeff takes a step back. "Oh my stars are you The Doctor? He can't be The Doctor gran, tell me he's not The Doctor."
"He is, isn't he? He's the Doctor! The Raggedy Doctor. All those cartoons you did when you were little. The Raggedy Doctor. It's him." Mrs Angelo raves. She thinks the cartoons were Amy's because she brought them here to show her, but they were really mine.
I went bright red as Amy said "Yes, Bailee's cartoons. She still does them now and again." She turned to me and winked slightly.
The Doctor smirked at me. "Cartoons?" He asked.
"Shut up" I mutter, going even redder, if that was possible.
"Gran, it's him, isn't it? It's really him!" Jeff said, faking enthusiasm. I know he was just trying to get to me, after all, he never believed in The Doctor.
"Jeff, shut up. Twenty minutes till what Doctor?" Amy demanded.
"The human residence will be incinerated. Repeat." The voice came through the TV again. Realisation dawned on The Doctors face. I walked up to him.
"Twenty minutes, Doctor. What happens in twenty minutes?" I ask softly. He looks me in the eye and sighs, not horribly, but in a way that he didn't like what he had to say.
"The human residence. They're not talking about your house, they're talking about the planet. Somewhere up there, there's a spaceship, and it's going to incinerate the planet."
Amy and I understand. "Twenty minutes until the end of the world."
"Repeat, Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."
