Takes place sometime prior to "The Angels take Manhattan"

Amy walked into the TARDIS control room holding a book. "Doctor?"

"Hm?" The Doctor was working on a control panel. He tried to extract himself from the machinery. "Did you say- Ouch!" Amy cringed as the Doctor hit his head on something. He rubbed his head and got up off the floor. "Did you need something, Pond?" He started to fiddle with the Tardis controls.

"Can we go to Messaline?"

He froze. He kept his back to her and asked, "And why would you want to go to Messaline?"

"I was reading about it in this book. It says that it is the most beautiful garden planet in the galaxy."

"Well, there are lots of garden planets in lots of galaxies. Wouldn't you rather see the most beautiful planet in the universe?" He said beggingly.

"No, I want to see Messaline. I think it's only fair, since you're the reason my daughter's a psychopath."

At least you have a daughter. He thought. "Alright, Messaline, 6859, 25th of... June. That's when the snow lilies bloom. It is the most gorgeous sight on the planet."

Vrwop, vrwop, vrwop, vrwop…

The TARDIS landed in the same spot as last time. The Doctor, Amy and Rory stepped out. "Ah, Messaline. The most beautiful planet in the galaxy." The Doctor announced.

Amy scrunched up her face. "It doesn't look like a garden planet."

"Or smell like a garden planet." Rory added. "Are you sure we're in the right place, Doctor?"

"Of course we're in the right place." The Doctor snapped. He checked his watch and frown. "But it appears that we are a little early for the snow lilies."

"How early, Doctor?" Amy asked. He ignored her. "Doctor, exactly how early are we?"

"Er, about… 800 and some years early." He cringed as he waited to be struck by Amy. She just grinned. "That just means we beat the crowds, doesn't it, Doctor?"

He smiled back. "Come along Ponds." And they started down the corridor.

"I have to say, they've cleaned up the place quite nicely since the last time I was here." The Doctor remarked.

"You've been here before?" Rory asked.

The Doctor nodded. "About, oh I don't know, eight years ago? In they're timeline, not mine. For me, it's been over two hundred years ago. And a different face."

"What happened?" Amy asked. The Doctor didn't answer. "Doctor?"

"Hello? Who's there?" A man's voice called out, and he emerged from the shadows.

"Hello, I'm the-" The Doctor was interrupted by the soldier. "Who are you? We don't have another resupply ship coming by for another month."

"I've got papers, if I might." The Doctor said. The soldier nodded. The Doctor got out the psychic paper and showed it to him. "You see, I'm-"

"Doctor Nobis-Jones, I see. Well, why didn't you say so before? Governor Pera will want to meet you. Follow me."

After the soldier's back was turned the Doctor looked at the psychic paper. Nobis-Jones? He thought. Where did he come up with that name?

A soldier came to the governor's office. A tired looking woman looked up from her desk. "What is it?" She asked. "If it's the labor union again, tell them that-"

"It's not the labor union, ma'am."

"Oh? What is it then?"

"It-it's him, ma'am."

It took her a moment to realize. "Oh! Quickly, bring him here. Hurry up now!"
