Imaginary Enemies (comic story)

 was a story printed in issue 455 of Doctor Who Magazine. Notably, it did not feature the Doctor. This is the last story to feature Amy and Rory, and is currently the only one to feature River Song (albeit in her Mels incarnation).

Summary
In Leadworth, the nativity play is almost starting and young Amelia Pond is being teased before the school play by the main star Veronica (the mayor's spoiled daughter) saying she's mad and she'll get locked away forever. Veronica then breaks the Raggedy Doctor doll Amelia made. Whilst in the library she's visited in the mirror by a man who appears similar to a reverse Santa Claus claiming to be her uncle "Krampus" who is really a member of the Pantheon trying to prevent the future Amy and Rory from getting married and joining the mad man in the box, and conceiving their child who would go on to kill the Doctor.

Krampus captures them with his goblins Otto, Sigfried and Ludwig. However Veronica notices that the doll he has given her is nothing more than a lump of coal. So she throws it into a mirror and Krampus and his goblins are sucked through the portal in the mirror. Amelia and Rory forget about the events but Mels remembers. Since Veronica is knocked out Amelia becomes the new Mary, with Rory as her Joseph. Rory's father comments that they make a lovely couple, to which Mels enthusiastically agrees.
