At first, Amy was furious. She’d asked the Doctor to stop on Earth so she could purchase some ...ahem... womanly supplies. What he hadn’t told her was that he was stopping on Earth in 1964— New York City to be precise. He also didn’t warn her that it would be raining. Her leather boots were going to be ruined now. And she liked those boots; they were a Christmas present from Rory. And then, he’d just left her here. In the rain. On her own. She reasoned with herself that he was probably working to fix it and would be back in a mo’, so she ran her errand, still fuming slightly.
Then, Amy got scared. She’d returned from the drug store, brown paper bag in hand, only to find that the alley where the TARDIS had landed still empty. She pulled out her phone and tried Rory’s speed dial, but of course there are no cell phone towers in 1964, so that was a no-go. She was stranded, with no means of reaching her husband or the Doctor.
Amy’s emotions cycled through several more stages. There was confusion, denial (“Maybe if I wait here they’ll come back”), then finally a calm acceptance. She was shivering from the cold and the rain, and as the sun went down she knew she oughtn’t stay out much longer. “Find someplace warm for the night,” she told herself. “We’ll come back here in the morning.” She left the alley and walked past the drug store to the main road. Walking down the busy street, shivering with cold, Amy took deep breaths and tried to think why the Doctor would have left without her. Suddenly, she noticed the rain had stopped. Or rather, she was standing under an awning. Turning to look up she saw that she stood in front of a large brick hotel.
Thinking only of room service and a hot bath, Amy rushed inside, not looking where she was going. As is wont to happen when running blindly, she was stopped short when she crashed into someone very tall and strong. As she fell awkwardly backwards, the damp paper bag finally tore and spilled its embarrassing contents all over the lobby floor.
