We sit on the car the Doctor brought waiting for the ponds and river. "Crys? Watch the TARDIS will you? She may go to your parallel universe so you can go home. If she does, let her die. Okay?" The Doctor asks putting on a Stetson.
This is the first he's talked since he's picked us up. "Ya. Okay." Oblivious to the TFIOS reference, I look down the road to see the ponds. I nudge the Doctor and he looks up. Putting a fake smile on the Doctor ran to greet them.
"Who are they?" Amy sneered.
"Old friends." I blurt before the Doctor says anything.
Before anyone can do anything else, a gun shot sounded and the Doctor's Stetson flew off.
"Hello sweetie." River smirked. I laugh at the Doctor's expression.
"Hello I'm Crystal." I say daring to look at the Doctors panic ridden face. I know that the two of us together can take the Doctor down easily.
"Hello!" She says hugging me. "We have met Crys." She whispers in my ear.
"Do you know what today is?" I whisper back.
"Yes. You told me about it alittle bit." I pull away and smile.
"Let's go for a picnic." The Doctor laughs fakely.

I haven't been listening to the conversations. I keep glancing at my watch and at Caleb. He keeps glancing at me. We lock into a staring contest.
"Something wrong, Crys?" River asks. I pull my eyes away.
"No, nothing's wrong River." I reply with no emotion. Caleb coughs and motions at my watch. I look at it. 5:00. Great. Soon enough an Apollo 13 astronaut starts rising from the lake.
"Oh my god." River exclaimed.
"You all need to stay back. Whatever happens now, do not interfere." The Doctor said standing up and looking at me and Amy.
"No need to hold me back. I know what happens," I whisper to Caleb. He nods but holds my hand for reassurance. We watch as the Doctor approaches the astronaut. They talk and then all I remember is a flash.

"Commander Harkstone. Commander Pond is here to see you." Captain Richardson salutes. I look up from my office and the first time in a long time my eyes fill with hope.
"Bring her in." Captain Richardson brought a ginger girl wearing an identical eye patch as me. " Leave us Captain." I order.
Amy looks at me. "Please remember." She pleads.
"I-" I stutter. "I remember Amy. I'm unaffected , but I think Caleb is. I can't find him. Can you find Rory?" Amy runs and hugs me.
"No," she whispers. I pull back.
"Any news of him?"
"We are getting him right now." Amy states.
"And I wasn't informed? I know everything about him!" I exclaim.
"Apparently not everything." She grumbles.
"Don't be all grumpy!" We feel the train come to a stop.
"We are here commander Harkstone and Pond." Captain Williams informed us.
"Found him." I whisper to Amy who gave me a confused look. I giggle.

We wait for the signal to attack. The Doctor and Churchill have seen the Silence for at least twenty times. Once they find them again, we attack. After a gruesome game of rock, paper, scissors, Amy got the honor to shoot the Doctor.
The Doctor finally sees that he has tally marks on his arm. Here we go. Both men look up and see the silence. I throw the grenade and all our troops march in except me and Amy. "Go! Go! Go! Keep the Silence in sight at all times, keep your eyedrives active." A soldier yelled.
"Ready?" Amy asks. I nod. We march in.
"Who the devil are you?! Identify yourselves." Churchill roared.
"Pond. Amelia Pond. And Crystal Harkstone." Amy says with no emotion.
"Sure. You get act all James Bond." I mumble.
"No. They are on our side. It's okay!" The Doctor exclaimed. Then he saw our eyedrives. His face was priceless.
"No. No. Amy. Crystal, why are you wearing that?" He asks. I sigh annoyed.
Amy shoots and the Doctor is out cold.
"What did you do to him?" Churchill asks.
"We need him.What now?" I ask.
"We get someone to get him in my office." I look at Amy.
"WILLIAMS!!" Amy and I scream.

"Commander. He's stirring." Capt. Williams gasps out of breath. I shot out of my chair and into the hall. I soon got to Amy's room and I stop and straighten my suit and pencil skirt. I walk in.
"Good Commander. You are here." Amy states blandly. The Doctor is on the couch asleep. Good I'm not late. She whispers to me, "Let him think you don't remember." I nod. His eyes finally open.
"What Commander?" He asks. He heard us. Good thing she whispered her plan.
"I'm Commander Crystal Harkstone. Head of this organization next to Mrs. Pond and Miss Song." I state as blandly as Amy.
"Your last name is Harkness."
"No it's not. Don't correct me." I threaten. This is fun.
"Yes ma'am but you two have to listen to me.Amy Pond. Amelia Pond from Leadworth and Crystal Harkstone from a parallel universe, please, listen to me. I know it seems impossible, but you know me. In another version of reality we were all best friends. We, we travelled together. Well not so much you Crystal.We had adventures. Amelia Pond, you grew up with a time rift in the wall of your bedroom. You can see what others can't. You can remember things that never happened. And Crystal Harkstone you are from a parallel dimension. You can't die. " He picks up a model TARDIS and starts using gestures with it. "You are my true helper and I need your help. And if you try, if you both really, really try, you'll be able to-"
"Look at what you are holding." I interrupt.
"Oh. Ohhh!" He said looking around the room at Amy's drawings. All her adventures. Man he is stupid.
"You look rubbish." Amy states truthfully. I nod.
"You both look wonderful."
"So do you. But don't worry we'll soon fix that." I say holding a jacket.
"Oh Geronimo."
