Hi! I'm new to the Doctor Who section, but I love the show, and am eagerly awaiting the next season of 11th Doctor episodes to start. The 10th Doctor is my favorite Doctor, but unfortunately, he doesn't quite fit into this story...It will be the 11th Doctor and some River Song, also (Because who doesn't love River Song?). And, of course, my main character: Dawn Melody. Also, this story will probably have A LOT of rough spots, as many things in the Doctor Who series are mysterious and unverified, so the story will probably be that way, also. And I do know that the doctor sort of has a daughter, but she's a clone, so I don't think it counts. ;)

Enough of my blabbering, please, read and review! Oh yeah, please noflames, yet I do like advice and constructive criticism! Thanks! Enjoy!

Prologue

"Mother, where are we going? There are big TARDISes everywhere!" A little girl with light brown hair and emerald green eyes asked. "We're going to visit an old friend, Dawn Melody," The woman holding Dawn Melody's hand explained. She had wavy, dirty blond hair with little hints of gray in some spots, and brown eyes.

Eventually, Dawn Melody and the woman reached the correct TARDIS. It still looked like a telephone booth after visiting London in the nineteen-fifties. An ordinary human may think that it looked normal, but the woman knew better. This was a Time and Relative Dimensions in Space ship, or better known as a TARDIS.

The woman opened the door to the phone booth, and Dawn Melody followed her inside. It much, much bigger on the inside, and had several corridors and rooms. The control room looked very similar to the Doctor'sfavorite TARDIS, the one he planned on "borrowing." One of the only main differences is that the light cylinder in the middle is a bright turquoise color, not clear and sometimes a light green like the "soon-to-be-Doctor's" TARDIS.

While young Dawn Melody examined the TARDIS and its controls, the woman walked up to the control panel and murmured, "Hello, Sweetie..." The TARDIS's light flickered, and the woman heard its response in her head, because TARDISes have minds of their own, and in a way, are telepathic. Hello, River Song. It's been a while. River Song smiled and nodded. "I've grown old now, Sweetie," River Song called her TARDIS Sweetie, just like the term she used for her husband. "And I have a dear little child. I'm old enough to be her grandmother though. I came here with the Doctor's TARDIS, and I have a request. He doesn't know he has a child. He's always off saving the planet, saying he'll be back in five minutes, when really it's been five years. He always is a klutz with that TARDIS. I wish I could go also, but I cannot. So I have one final request, Sweetie. I know what day today is. It's the day he closes the rest of the Time Lords and the Time War events in a Time Lock. Take my daughter, Dawn Melody, away. Please, Sweetie. I want her to grow, to find her father and I, to live in the time we lived, so that the Doctor will maybe change his mind, and take us on adventures with him. I just want things to be right." Of course, River Song, my friend. I would do almost anything for you. I am still young. I wish to go on the countless days of flying around the universe as you do. I will take your daughter, Dawn Melody, if you tell me what I must do.

River Song smiled. She never did understand why she could fly a TARDIS if she wasn't a Time Lord, but, of course, many things do not make sense in our world. We just have to believe they are possible.

The woman pulled a bag off of her shoulder, and murmured to the TARDIS, "Dawn Melody is five now. She is half Time Lord, half human. She ages within her regenerations, until she is fully-grown. For each of her birthdays, until she is thirteen, I want you to give her one of these." River Song showed her Sweetie eight small packages, and the TARDIS opened a storage compartment within its console, which River Song dropped the packages in. "She will gradually learn to fly you, Sweetie," River Song explained. "Just stay away from landing. I don't want her getting into any trouble before the time is right, okay?" Yes. The TARDIS replied. "Oh, Sweetie, I'll miss you...but I must go. And you must, also. Dematerialize where you think is best. Goodbye." A tear streaked down River Song's cheek, and she swiftly wiped it away before walking over to Dawn Melody. This would be the last time she would see her before leaving.

"Mother?" Dawn Melody asked. "Is something wrong?" "No, nothing, my dear," River Song replied. "You're going to have so many fun adventures on this TARDIS. She will guide you on your way, alright?" "I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, mother..." Dawn Melody trailed off. "I must go," River Song stated. "You must stay. This is your fifth birthday present." Dawn Melody's mouth made an "o" shape, and she stood up to hug her mother. "Goodbye, Mother," Dawn Melody murmured. "Can I visit?" River Song smiled, and patted Dawn Melody's shoulder after the hug. "There will be no reason. Old Sweetie will explain everything as you grow. Goodbye, my sweet."

River Song sat on the floor of the Doctor's "borrowed" TARDIS, the future one. It was still stuck in the chameleon circuit. The Doctor said he never had time to fix it, or so he said, but River thought that it was because he liked the exterior of his TARDIS.

Standing up, River Song patted the TARDIS gently, and sighed, saying, "Take us home." It lurched a little, and then River Song sat on the floor once more. As she drew in her final, old, breath, one though remained in her head:

Time can be, and will be, re-written.

Okay, how did it go? Does anyone like it?

Not sure about this story yet...But it has quite an interesting plot, I think. Please review!
