It's all AU.

Nancy was wandering near the hotel, trying to track where Reinette may have got to, to make sure she was okay.

"Excuse me," she said, trying to get the attention of the man walking towards her. "You ain't seen a small French girl about anywhere? I'm a bit worried about her."

D'athe had poked his nose into a what had smelled like an interesting shop, and had been delighted to discover that it had all sorts of amusing toys. Including the coiled metal spring he had just nudged over the edge of the building he perched on the roof of. A building with a set of stairs on the outside with a nice wide metal rail he could slide down while watching his new toy walk itself down the stairs.

He leaped off the end of the railing to pounce on the coil as it bent forward to rattle off the last step, rolling with it in his claws, chortling happily to himself. Coming to a rest on his back, he sighed, wriggling against the ground a moment, making himself a trip hazard for anyone not paying attention.

The hotel door opened and a small, blonde girl wearing a long, white nightdress and clutching a big doll in 18th century costume stepped through into the lobby.

She looked around in surprise.

"Oh! Where's my bedroom gone?"

After Nancy had gotten her icecream with Theta, she left him to go and finish it in what seemed to be a well tended park. She sat down on a bench, swinging her legs over the edge, toes not quite reaching the floor. She felt more girlish than she had done in years.

Her worry about Jamie had abated a little. If what what Theta had said was true, then he wouldn't miss her at all, and he was quite safe. She was missing him like crazy though. She still really wanted to find the Doctor as soon as possible. He'd know what to do for the best.

This place was extremely strange, but an awful lot prettier than wartime London. She was determined to try to enjoy the change if she could. She leant her head back, basking in the sunlight, not noticing as a figure approached.

Nancy walked out of the dark alleyway into bright sunlight. She blinked hard. It had just been night, what on earth? She turned around to grasp Jamie's hand, wanting to keep him close, so soon after they'd been reunited, to find him gone.

"Jamie, sweetheart where are you? You can come out it's safe," she called back into the alleyway. She wasn't so sure about that last statement, but she wanted him with her at all costs. "Come on out, and hold Mummy's hand." There was no reply from Jamie. Nancy turned around to find someone looking over at her. "Have you seen a little boy, about this high?" She moved her hand to show the stranger.
