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

"Ended up he didn't have to. I met a man, an alien, who helps people. I travel with him," she says, because she knows her days of travelling with the Doctor aren't done yet.
"Since I've known him he's helped lots of people all over the universe. Maybe he could help you. But first," she smiles, clasping his hand briefly; "I'm gonna find you a date."
It may not be 'wishes coming true' but it's a start, isn't it?
no subject
She was an intriguing person and he was glad he had met her. Her final words made him chuckle and he nodded.
"I guess so. This place is a little quiet when you're on your own." And it had been a long time since he had even shared a kiss at this point. Maybe someday he would meet someone awesome.

That's what started this whole thing. And that idiot husband of hers leaving her here alone.
"What kind of girls do you like?" she asks.
no subject
"I don't know."
no subject
"No outstandin' turn-offs?" she ventures.
no subject
His face was beet red.

"Long-term relationship wanted, then," she provides, writing it down.
If her mind was thinking on it, she'd suspect Alex is just Rory from an alternate dimension. Come to think of it, what is Rory's middle name? Rory Alex Williams...
No, couldn't be. Arthur. His middle initial is definitely 'A'.
"Can you think of anythin' else?"
no subject
Alex bounced a touch. "Uhm... maybe if she doesn't mind me being an engineer and pilot."
no subject
"I don't think you'll have any problem with that," she says, in a tone of voice that's not very apropos for the setting.
That is to say that back home, sure, engineers and pilots could be thought of as geeks and nerds, but here? They're on the bloody Enterprise! Frankly how he's not getting shagged every day, she'll never know.
"Long-term relationship or just friends, got it," she beams, looking up at him; "I think I'm ready to find you a date, Alex-Rory Rogan.
no subject
"Thanks." He blushed more at her words, but made her a grin. "Cool!" He stuck out his hand to her. "Thank you."
no subject
(Thank you very much, Shotaro.)
Laughing, she takes his hand.
"You're welcome!" she says, hoping she can find him a good match.
He seems like a nice bloke, he deserves one.
