Amy Rose sat in the unlit closet facing the wall, hands over her closed eyes. Even in the absolute darkness she could still see the fading. Black becoming blacker with every tick of the clock. It was only like this that she could notice it, away from all light. The fading behind all darkness. Amy figured that since the world started with a flash—the big bang—it only made sense that the universe would be an endless fade to black. These observations, of course, confirmed it. But even knowledge doesn't quite beat fear, and in the darkness she trembled.

Like a cloister bell, or a whirring, and finally a tung as someone seemed to manifest in her bedroom, on the other side of the closed closet door. Soon after, the door opened behind her, and a friendly voice said "Ey! C'mon then, what're you doing in here? We've got a world to save!"

It was Amy Pond. Her long red hear flowing past her shoulders. Dressed neat and business casual. Behind her, in the middle of Amy Rose's bedroom, was a tall blue police box. And standing near it, a dapper woman in her early forties wearing suspenders with a short blonde bob. Amy Pond outstretched a hand, "need a hand? I'll help you up. You wanna know about the big bang eh? Well let's go see it"

"But first," said The Doctor, "We need to travel to Pasadena to pick up my friend Amy Farrah Fowler, and then to the year 3000 to pick up my old friend Amy Wong-Kroker. Once we've got the gang assembled, we can go see the Big Bang and make sure it, well, bangs y'know?"
