"WHAT DO WE DO NOW?" Rory asked the both of us as we stood next to the box

"Don't look at me, they hate him more." I said holding my hands up passing him to go and check on my sister who was just waking up

"Hello sleepy head."

"My head hurts." Amy said as I helped her off the slab

"Go to the doctor." I said following her out, he checked her over briefly

"It's just you're standard knock out drops, get some fresh air you'll be fine." The doctor said tapping her on either shoulder

"Is it safe up there?" Amy asked

"It's fresh at least." I said as Rory adjusted his position

Amy turned around and nearly bumped into him, thanking him for his work in saving her earlier

"My men are up there, they will look after you." Rory said as Amy left the tomb

"Good, I love a Roman." Amy replied as she went up the steps

"She doesn't remember me." The sadness was evident in his voice "How can she not remember me?"

"Because you never existed." The doctor said as Rory looked between the both of us

The doctor went back to sonicing "there are cracks, cracks in time, there's going to be some huge explosion in the future on one particular day, and every other moment in history is cracking around it"

"So how does that work? What kind of explosions? What exploded?" Rory asked

The doctor paused briefly, like he was thinking about something

"Doesn't matter, the cracks are everywhere now get too close to them and you can fall right out of the universe." The doctor came back to life and went back to sonicing

"So I fell through a crack and I was basically never born." Rory said

"Basically." I said

"Well how did I end up here." Rory asked

"I'm pretty sure you shouldn't have."

The doctor turned to face Rory "what happened? What physically happened from your point of view." The doctor came closer to the Roman

"I was in a cave, with the 3 of you, I was dying and then I was just here, a Roman soldier, a proper Roman solider." He pointed to his head "head full of Roman stuff... a whole other life"

"Just here like I woken up from a dream, started to think it was a dream, you, Alex, and Amy, leadworth, and then today, in the camp, the men was talking about the visitors and the girls with the red hair."

Rory turned away then turned back "I thought you come back for me but she can't even remember me"

"Shut up." The doctor said, taking a red box out of his jacket and throwing it to Rory, who opened it and his eyes sparkled
