--------------------------------------------------
Amelia Pond always watched the Doctor. When he first came crashing in to her life she watched him with wide eyes filled with childlike innocence and wonder. Watched the madman with a blue box that promised to take her far away and explore the secrets of the universe with her. Over time the childlike innocence faded (though the wonder did not) as he broke his promise, and she had to deal with the constant teasing of everyone in the village. Had to deal with the worried looks and whispered gossip concerning mad, impossible Amelia Pond. Suddenly the name Amelia felt too fairytale, brought back too many memories of him... her raggedy doctor. So when he appeared in her life once more after twelve whole years she was simply Amy, stripped of all innocence and a wall of resentment and bitterness built up around her. But within minuets of being in his company again he began to chip away at that wall and fix her broken heart, if a tad clumsily. Then he was gone again and the sellotape holding her heart together peeled off and it was up to sweet Rory to fix it for her. He'd been her rock throughout all of it, he'd never broken her heart of abandoned her when she needed him most. So that's how she found herself excepting his proposal, found herself trying to convince herself that she could love him more than any other man, more than her doctor. Then he came back in to her life a third time, two years later and she wasn't even surprised. She's been waiting, wishing, and it hadn't all been in vane. Then so many things happened, bad things, good things, things that broke her heart, things that made it swell and suddenly she forgot it all, forgot the adventure, the heartbreak, the Doctor... And the day she married Rory Williams was the day it all came rushing back to her thanks to a tiny blue book that was so familiar despite her being sure she'd never seen it before. She recognized the feeling in her gut, regret. Why did she have to remember now when she'd unknowingly made her final choice between her best friend and her childhood and beyond hero?
Amy Pond still watched the doctor as she, Rory and him went on adventures through time and space. Mr and Mrs Pond and the Doctor. Sometimes he'd look up and meet her eyes as she watched him, and for a moment he'd look so very sad and it made her heart give a horrible twinge as the regret would wash over her so strongly that she had to break the gaze and stare at her feet, holding back the tears that always seemed to threaten to fall. It wasn't fair, it really wasn't.
