The Pandorica Opens - Three

"Fuzzy?"

Rory opened his mouth to speak but looked down. the Doctor who had also noticed the Stone beginning to stir in his arms groaning slightly. "Dear Rassilon." She muttered. "My head."

"Morning dear." The Doctor softly smiled looking down at her.

"Amy." She went to sit up only to grasp onto the Doctors blazer.

"She's fine." The Doctor chuckled kissing her forehead.

The Stone sighed slowly nodding before freezing seeing something, someone in the corner of her eye. "Doctor." She gently tugged on his blazer. "I think I'm going mad."

"And why is that dear?" He questioned not being able to help but tease her.

"I'm seeing... Rory... dressed as a Roman."

"Hi."

The Stones eyes widened as she pressed herself further into the Doctor. "And now he's talking to me."

"No Stone." He chuckled shaking his head. "I'm afraid that is actually Rory, dressed as a Roman."

"But he-"

"I know." He nodded allowing her to stand on her own, slightly wobbling before gaining her balance.

"I died and turned into a Roman." He said. "You regenerated?"

"You told him and not Amy?" The Doctor questioned.

"To be fair Rory is my companion." She reminded. "I felt obliged to tell him, I also did briefly mention it to her."

"You also sound American."

"Yeah, no more Welsh." She shrugged. "But how did you become a Roman?"

"No idea." He replied shrugging. "One moment I was alive then I died and turned into a Roman. It's very distracting. Did she miss me?"

Suddenly the ground began to shake. The Time Lords ran out, Rory following to see the circular designs on the Pandorica started to glow green and move like cogs.

"What is it?" Rory questioned. "What's happening?"

"The final phase."

The Stone swallowed. "It's opening."

The Time Lords started to scan the cogs. "You're surrounded." They heard River through a comm. "Have you got a plan?"

"Yes. Now hurry up and get the TARDIS here." He ordered. "I need equipment!"

"Doctor." The Stone looked at him. "You could say please."

"It's River." He huffed. "She doesn't care."

"I don't understand your problem with her." The Stone shook her head.

"My problem?" He scoffed then stopped standing up. "Stone she knows our future."

"I knew your future before." She countered shaking her head.

"But that-" he paused taking a breath. "You're different."

"Different?"

"You're my wife."

"And for all, we know so could River." The Stone replied making the Doctor wrinkle his nose at the thought.
