Afterword, by Amelia Williams

Afterword, by Amelia Williams.

Hello, old friend.
And here we are, you and me, on the last page.
By the time you read these words, Rory and I will be long gone.
So know that we lived well, and were very happy.
And above all else, know that we will love you always.
Sometimes I do worry about you, though.
I think once we're gone, you won't be coming back here for a while,
and you might be alone, which you should never be.

Don't be alone, Doctor.

And do one more thing for me.
There's a little girl waiting in a garden.
She's going to wait a long while, so she's going to need a lot of hope.

Go to her. Tell her a story.
Tell her that if she's patient, the days are coming that she'll never forget.
Tell her she'll go to sea and fight pirates.
She'll fall in love with a man who'll wait 2,000 years to keep her safe.
Tell her she'll give hope to the greatest painter who ever lived and save a whale in outer space.

Tell her, this is the story of Amelia Pond.
And this how it ends.
