CHAPTER 21

APRIL 22ND

With a horrible feeling, I woke up to see the date in the kitchen. It was the 20th of April 2011. Just two days left… I had spent the last few months preparing for that day and now that it was so close, it felt so unreal. As if I dreamed that last night with the Doctor.

The Doctor sent me back to Amy and Rory, but long before the past me had moved in with them. They don’t know that one day, a younger me will be found in a park by Rory and told the truth about my life. It has only been a few months since Amy and Rory got married now.

“AJ, you’ve got mail,” Amy called from the living room.

Curious because I never got mail since technically, I didn’t exist anymore, I joined her to see she was holding two TARDIS blue envelops in her hands – one for her and Rory and one for me that had the number 2 on it.

“It’s an invitation,” I said after reading the postcard on the inside. And I automatically knew exactly in what I was invited too.

I left the bus with Rory and Amy in the middle of the desert as it seemed. When the bus drove away, there was the Doctor, sitting on some old time car, wearing a cowboy hat.

He acted cool for only a second before running towards us for hugs. Then out of nowhere, his hat came flying off his head, a huge hole had burned through it. We turned to see River Song smiling mischievously, holding a gun in one hand. The gang was complete.

As we walked with a picnic basket towards the lac Silencio, the Doctor gave me a questioning look and almost as if I could read his mind, I mouthed to him my answer.

''They don’t know anything.’’

He nodded and we continued our way.

Once at the lac, he sat down and had our little picnic. I was finding hard to fake laughter and smiles when I couldn’t stop looking at my watch, terrified of what will happen when it’ll show 5h02 pm.

''AJ, are you alright? You haven’t even touched our plate,'' Rory asked curiously.

''I’m fine, dad. Just not that hungry,'' I faked a reassuring smile.

And the chatter and fun continued for them while I couldn’t help, but keep my eyes on the Doctor. How could he look so happy and so calm knowing that he was going to die in only an hour? I searched his eyes for any sign of fear, but I saw none. Instead, I caught a glimpse of something. Something I’m not sure I really saw in the black part of his right eye. It was there for just a fraction of a second, but I couldn’t help but think about it until the hour was over.

That’s when I saw something happening in the water.

An astronaut, or at least someone wearing an astronaut suite, broke the surface of the lac and walked onto the shore. That’s when the Doctor stood up.
