Operation: Amy Pond's Blind Dating Service is a go!

[and_she_waited]

The redhead has been sitting at a table for a while now.

She hasn't made a fuss or otherwise stood out too much, but the keen eye will know she's been looking more gutted as the minutes tick on. Not so long ago, her husband left the ship* — all fine and well, he's gone off to find the Doctor and their way back home, though why Amy couldn't go with him is still beyond her. She's actually hoping that Q character shows up so she can punch him in the nose.

He doesn't, though. But you know what does start happening? Happy, smiling faces. People falling in love (like really in love, what's that about?). Romance, dinners. Is it Valentine's Day?

"Oh, bollocks," she mutters, because now she misses Stupid Face even more.

She can't be the only one, though. Lots of people here have been taken far from home, lots more even who don't have anyone they know by their side. For a moment she takes some comfort in that, but then it gets her thinking. What about that lot? What are we supposed to do when all these people are mooning over each other in plain view?

She looks to the left. She looks to the right. And then Mrs. Amelia Jessica Pond-Williams climbs up on her chair and stands on the table and shouts so the whole room can hear her.

"All right, everyone! Listen up! Lots of us spent Christmas on this boat away from home, so I say if we're gonna be stuck here for another holiday while everyone's spoutin' love at each other, maybe we should get to know each other better. Those of us who're here alone or separated from our loved ones, that is. Well, anyone! Point is, Amy Pond's Dating Service is now open! If you want to meet someone, today's your lucky day," she says, with a grand sweep of her hand.

She dismounts and strides over to the bar to see if she can get some serviettes to write on. Oh, right. Paper isn't much of a thing here, is it? To the replicator it is.

A few minutes later, there's a sign sitting on her table in colourful reds and pinks, and she's holding a clipboard in her hands.

That makes Yuna fluster slightly. "There isn't anything wrong with them. um.. it's a little complicated." She paused her arms flailing slightly before she was able to find the right words.

"I'm well known on my world so it isn't so easy." It was hard for Yuna to find someone who liked her for her.

"Are you a celebrity?" Amy asks, eyebrows arched.

Ha! First day of business and already she has a star volunteer.

She really is good.

[whereishe]

"A little bit."

Yuna lightly scratched her cheek with a smile. She was generally modest but there was no point in lying about it. Everyone in Spira knew who she was.

"Is that bad?" Her head fell slightly to the side wondering if it would be a good idea to sign up for this. She wanted to. Yuna loved meeting new people but that didn't mean it was a good idea.

[and_she_waited]

"Are you kidding?" Amy enthuses, pushing her clipboard aside; "only bad thing is you didn't say so when you first sat down! I want details."

She pillows her chin in her hands. It's been a while since she's had any excitement around here, so Yuna is going to have to spill about her celebrity status.

Yuna was a little surprised at her reaction. "It's a long story." Though she supposed she could skip over some parts. She settled into a seat, her fingers lightly gliding along her cheek.

"Alright. So, in my world there was this monster known as Sin. Whenever he was killed he would be reborn. I mean it's a lot more complicated than that but.. anyway, I went to kill him and found this out. So me and my friends made it so that he couldn't be reborn again." It was a hard fight. "After that I got pretty famous on Spira. I've even put on concerts."

Though that was because she liked to sing.

"So you're a warrior and a musician?" says Amy, eyes wide.

She lets off a small puff of laughter, clearly impressed.

"Girl power," she singsongs; "that's incredible!"

[whereishe]

Yuna laughed nervously. "I mean most in my world end up learning to fight, you know." She waved her hands frantically. She was being modest but she hadn't really had anyone react like this when she talked about her home.

It was a little embarrassing.

[and_she_waited]

Oh, don't be embarrassed, Yuna.

It'll set a bad precedent for the future, given Amy isn't afraid to lather on the praise.

"Still!" she says, leaning back and folding her arms over her chest; "you're a celebrity, which means that must 'ave you standin' out as different from the crowd as it is."

And then, secretively, she's leaning forward again.

"I've fought some pretty interestin' monsters myself," she says.
