Amy Pond ( The Girl Who Waited ) A version of Amy Pond was from an alternate timeline where she was trapped in the Two Streams Facility of Apalapucia for thirty - six years . ( TV : " The Girl Who Waited " ) History . Becoming trapped . Following the Eleventh Doctor ' s orders , Amy hid herself in the room containing the Two Streams Facility temporal engine s on Apalapucia . At some point shortly after she found her hiding spot , Amy began crying and was contacted by Rory through the time glass from thirty - six years in her future . Amy attempted to convince her future self to help the Doctor and Rory save her , but her future self refused as she didn ' t want to die which is what she saw being erased from existence along with her timeline as being . Due to the future Amy ' s refusal to help , the Doctor and Rory were forced to leave this Amy behind and leave Two Streams with her future self . ( TV : " The Girl Who Waited " ) Trapped . Over the next thirty - six years , Amy remained trapped in Two Streams in a struggle to survive . She managed to gain a club and a sword as weapons as well as armour fashioned from a Handbot . During this time , Amy was able to reprogram the Interface to answer any question she asked except for how to escape the facility . Amy created a sonic device similar to the Doctor ' s sonic screwdriver that she called a sonic probe which allowed her to reprogram the Handbot ' s black box to avoid detection amongst other things and " disarmed " a Handbot she named Rory to act as a pet to give Amy company so she wouldn ' t be completely alone . Amy went so far as to paint on the Handbot to make it look more like Rory and trained it in a few human behaviours . ( TV : " The Girl Who Waited " ) A late rescue . After thirty - six years alone , Amy , now bitter and resentful , met Rory in the art gallery entertainment section of the facility when he and the Eleventh Doctor finally arrived to rescue her . Amy saved Rory from a Handbot and revealed her aged state to his shock as the TARDIS had locked onto Amy ' s timestream , but at the wrong point which had not been realised by Rory and the Doctor . Amy took Rory back to her hideout by the temporal engine s and remained mostly cold and distant from her husband who was more distressed by the idea that they hadn ' t gotten to grow old together than that she had grown old . Still bitter at the lack of rescue for thirty - six years , Amy took Rory to the garden entertainment zone so that the Doctor could question the Interface for useful information on how to rescue her younger self . During this time , Amy laughed for the first time in thirty - six years while sharing a joke with Rory and saved his life from a Handbot . Though the Doctor was able to get the information he needed to bring the younger Amy into the present , Amy refused to help as it would mean that she would never exist and she didn ' t want to die . As Amy had witnessed thirty - six years earlier , Rory used the time glass to allow Amy to speak with her younger self in an attempt to change her mind . Amy remembered how the first time around , it was her own refusal to help that caused her to get stuck in Two Streams and faced with the same situation , made the same choice as her own future self had . Though Amy insisted that her younger self would make the same choice when she got to Amy ' s position , the younger Amy asked her future self three words : " what about Rory ? " The two Amys nostalgically recalled all of their happy times with Rory and their love for him . The younger Amy was finally able to get the older Amy to agree to help for the sake of Rory . ( TV : " The Girl Who Waited " ) Saving herself . After her discussion with the younger Amy , Amy announced to Rory and the Eleventh Doctor that she would help them for the sake of Rory . However , her one demand was that she be taken along in the TARDIS with them so that she too could live . Though the Doctor stated that it would be difficult , he claimed that the TARDIS could hold the paradox of two Amys in place . After learning of the way the two Amys conversation went originally the Doctor suggested that Amy knowing her own future was what would allow her to change it . Now acting more like her old self , Amy aided the Doctor and Rory in using the temporal engine s to bring her younger self forward in time by focusing on the memory of her first kiss with Rory while her younger self did the same . The presence of two Amys shorted out Rory ' s glasses and the group ' s connection to the Doctor . Working together , the two Amys took out three Handbot s and the Amys and Rory made a run for the TARDIS to escape . While together , the Amys squabbled with Rory caught in the middle and the older Amy suggested that once free of the facility , she would take the opportunity to travel and occasionally visit her other self and Rory . Under attack by Handbots , the three battled their way into the art gallery where the TARDIS was parked . Amy focused on destroying all the Handbots in their way and stayed back as the other Amy and Rory went on to cover them by eliminating all of their enemies . When Amy was done , she found Rory carrying her unconscious younger self which reminded her forcefully of who she once was . To Amy ' s shock , the Doctor locked her out of the TARDIS as he had lied that the TARDIS could sustain the paradox of two Amys . As Amy banged on the TARDIS doors and demanded to be let in , a conflicted Rory was left with the decision of whether or not to open the door . Holding a final conversation with her husband , Amy ordered him not to open the door if he truly loved her and effectively gave up her life to the younger Amy , telling Rory that she was giving them her days so that Rory and Amy could grow old together as she had never been able to due to getting trapped . Reluctantly , Rory agreed to her wishes to be left behind . Facing the end of her life and faced with five Handbot s , Amy chose to have the Interface show her an image of Earth , the planet she had left so long before and would never return to . Nostalgically telling the Interface the beginning of a story about Rory , Amy was anesthetized by the Handbots . As the Handbots went to deliver their medicine to her , the TARDIS dematerialised . With the rescue of the younger Amy , the timeline this Amy was from ceased to exist , this Amy along with it . ( TV : " The Girl Who Waited " ) Skills and abilities . Amy became a skilled fighter and a toughened survivor with experience avoiding and battling the Handbot s , using weapons scavenged from the facility to fight them off , capably overpowering platoons of them with little trouble 36 years into her imprisonment . She was smart enough to reprogram the Interface to help her and create a sonic probe , an act that surprised and impressed the Doctor . She displayed a detailed knowledge of the facility ' s areas and had the Handbots , schedule memorised so that she would know when it was safe to visit the entertainment areas . Amy went so far as to reprogram a Handbot she named Rory which she saw as a pet and appeared to have taught it a few human behaviors . Personality . While originally starting out the same as the original Amy Pond , this version of Amy changed greatly over her thirty - six years trapped in the Two Streams Facility on Apalapucia . Amy ' s experiences turned her bitter , particularly as the Eleventh Doctor and Rory had never rescued her . At one point , Amy stated that while she initially thought good of the Doctor , her long incarceration caused her to hate him . Amy saw her time trapped in Two Streams as equivalent to death , stating that while most people entered Two Streams to live , she entered it to die and called her life " hell . " In this state , she showed little care that Rory was even with her and told him to " stay safe or whatever " if he chose to join her . Because of her bleak outlook on life , she called her sonic device a " sonic probe " rather than a screwdriver because she " wasn ' t on a romp " like the Doctor and simply called the device what it was . Despite initial resistance , this Amy ' s love for her husband Rory remained strong . Even after thirty - six years , Amy still deeply loved Rory and ( while initially cold to him ) Rory ' s near - deadly experience with a Handbot caused Amy to shed some tears , though she hid it quickly . Rory being with her caused Amy to laugh for the first time in thirty - six years and she reminisced with her younger self over memories Amy held fond even after thirty - six years away from Rory . As such , when Amy agreed to help save her younger self , she did it for Rory ' s sake when pushed by the younger Amy to do so . In her final conversation with Rory and even her final moments , it was clear that to Amy , Rory remained the most important thing in her life . Amy told Rory that she was " giving her days " to Rory and her younger self so that Rory and the younger Amy could grow old together as she and Rory never could . While Amy was at first cold and distant , her old personality began to emerge more and more as she spent time with Rory . Amy ' s sense of humour returned as did her adventurous spirit , with Amy telling her past self and Rory that she intended to resume traveling , albeit on her own , once she escaped . At the end of her life , Amy told Rory that seeing Rory and her younger self together reminded her just how much she had loved traveling with him and the Doctor in the TARDIS , seeing the universe . While Amy originally insisted that her sonic device was a sonic probe due to her new personality , when her old personality started coming back she admitted that " its a screwdriver , " having previously called it a probe to differentiate her device from the Doctor and his way of doing things . Amy possessed a heightened degree of self - preservation due to her decades - long struggle to survive in Two Streams . When the Doctor and Rory enlisted Amy ' s help to rescue herself , she refused as it meant that she herself would be erased from existence , something she saw as death . Though it meant that she would never have spent thirty - six years in what she felt was Hell , Amy wasn ' t willing to " die " and be replaced by another Amy who had never went through what she had . Even when she was convinced to help , Amy only did so on the condition that she come with the Doctor , Rory and her younger self . In her final conversation with Rory , Amy admitted that if she was allowed into the TARDIS , she would fight with everything she had to survive . Despite this , Amy urged Rory to keep her locked out so that she couldn ' t do so and when faced with five Handbots , effectively surrendered rather than fighting in her last moments .
