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.

He rested his hands at his belt line and still looked sour about it. "None of that means you get to drag me into something like this!"

[and_she_waited]

She smiles at him, and bats at his arm.

"No, my wit and superior good looks, and the fact that you're my flatmate and you like me, do," she quips.

Welcome to the new world where you have a second best friend, Shotaro.

This world is new and scary and he doesn't like it. "Who said anything about me liking you, huh? Do you strongarm all your friends into stuff like this?"

Somehow that's what he takes issue with.

"Don't try to deny it," she says, half-scolding and half-teasing.

She knows you secretly like her. There's no going back now.

"I'm not strong-arming you into anything. Yet," she points out. "Who knows, maybe you're on the list, and maybe you're not."

If he's going to be a brat, then so will she.

"I don't believe for a second you're not putting me on that list. You'll probably think it's funny to match me with Philip since you seem to think I'm in love with him or something!" Which is totally not a thing that's true.

[and_she_waited]

Eyebrows go up.

"Does that mean you want me to match you with Philip?" she asks.

Honestly, who said anything about Philip? She's blameless this time!
