"Dearest!" she scolded "no ponies! And you sweetie, will be eating your words"

Her daughter just glared back; Morgana smirked in amusement

"I write travel articles for magazines and Rory heals the sick," Amy explained to the Doctor

"My shift starts in an hour. You don't know where my scrubs are?" Rory asked

"In the lounge, where you left them," Amy replied

"All the Ponds, with their house and their jobs and their everyday lives. The journalist and the nurse. Long way from Leadworth." The Doctor mused as he sonicked a gizmo together

"We think it's been ten years. Not for you or Earth, but for us. Ten years older. Ten years of you two, on and off." Amy said

"sounds about right" Morgana mused

"Look at you now. All grown up." The Doctor grinned, Morgana looked up in shock as the front door was smashed down

"Clear! Trap one, kitchen secured." A man said

"Trap three, back garden secured." A second one confirmed, Rory was then marched in at gunpoint

"There are soldiers all over my house, and I'm in my pants," Rory complained

Morgana wolf-whistled "and looking good for it babe" she winked

"I hate you" he grumbled

"no, you don't she replied cheerily

"My whole life I've dreamed of saying that, and I miss it by being someone else." Amy sighed in disappointment as a woman entered the house

"All these muscles and they still don't know how to knock. Sorry about the raucous entrance. Spike in Artron energy reading at this address. In the light of the last twenty-four hours, we had to check it out, and the dogs do love a run-out. Hello. Kate Stewart, head of scientific research at UNIT. And with dress sense like that." Kate said calmly as she held out a scanner and brushed it over them

"You must be the Doctor, his Morgana and by the looks of you Lark, Hummingbird and Bluebird at the minute. I hoped it would be you lot" Kate smiled at them friendly

Morgana clicked her tongue "you better prove yourself an ally or you'll be going off the way of the 456"

"Tell me, since when did science run the military, Kate?" the Doctor demanded with a plastic smile "we aren't particularly on happy terms with UNIT right now"

"Since me. UNIT's been adapting. Well, I dragged them along, kicking and screaming, which made it sound like more fun than it actually was." Kate laughed

Morgana hummed and relaxed slightly but she was still suspicious

"What do we know about these cubes?" the Doctor asked Kate

"Far less than we need to. We've been freighting them in from around the world for testing. So far, we've subjected them to temperatures of plus and minus two hundred Celsius, simulated a water depth of five miles, dropped one out of a helicopter at ten thousand feet and rolled our best tank over it. Always intact." Kate replied

"That's impressive. I don't want them to be impressive. I want them vulnerable with a nice Achilles heel." The Doctor pouted

"I tried to break one, but I couldn't...honestly it's an affront" Morgana complained

"We don't know how they got here, what they're made of, or why they're here." Kate sighed

"And all around the world, people are picking them up and taking them home." The Doctor said
