Hello Everyone! Ok first off, the first few chapters are Fanfics I wrote for a fan fiction contest for a Doctor Who facebook page...well enjoy...
Title: Short
On a distant planet in another galaxy, River Song walked across the dusty ground, kicking up a cloud behind her as she went on her way. With one hand ready on her gun in case of any enemies popping up, she strode carefully as she searched for what she was looking for. In her other hand, she held unto a flashlight, with its high beam lighting her path and everything else.
A rat-like creature scurried away as the light hit it eyes, but River kept going, not even noticing the creature. A low moan could be heard as the wind moved through the tunnels that women was exploring. Strange symbols were etched unto the walls, but they were not what she was looking for.
As she turned around another corner, River noticed a stream of light coming from a long crack in the wall. Easing her way forward, River placed her hand on the wall and gently pushed it forward. The wall creaked as it revealed to be a small door. Having to crouch down, River soon found herself back outside.
Large stones towered over her and the moon was right above the space. A slight smile came upon Rivers face as the area made her remember the event that had happened at Stone hedge. Almost similar to that event, a small, perfectly square, stone block stood straight in the middle of the area, the moon light hitting it directly.
It gave off a strange blue light as River strode forward to investigate the strange box. Tracing her hands over its smoothed surfaces, River could not figure out how this block was giving out a strange light and why the moon haven't moved from its position since she came here.
With a huff, River stood up and brought out her sonic screwdriver that the Doctor had once given her, "I'm sure he'll like to take a look at this,"
Raising her hand in the air, River was about to press one of the buttons on her screwdriver to send out a message when there was a clutter and a strange whirring noise coming from right behind the stone door. Footsteps could be clearly heard, coming closer to where River was.
With quick reflexes, River jumped behind one of the larger stones, her back towards the door. The stone door creaked open and the footsteps grew louder. It was something mechanical, she knew that much. Taking a quick look over the edge to see what had entered the area, her eyes grew wide. There standing in front of the stone, was a cyberman, but no ordinary cyberman, this one look like the usual kind, but it was a small, like someone with dwarfism.
River frowned slightly, but soon turned to a grimace as she thought more about it, 'this place did seem a bit on the small side, but why?'
She continued to watch the small cyberman as it walked forward, it also placed a small stone in the shape of a flat rectangle untop of the stone square. The blue light suddenly grew brighter, temporally blinded River.
As the light subsided, River blinked a few times before turning her attention back to the small cyberman, watching it as it walked out back through the stone door. Getting back to her feet, River dusted off her pants and walked back over to the stone block.
"Strange," She murmured out loud, glancing around, "I could've sworn this block was smaller before," River now stood a head taller than the block almost like the same size as the cyberman that had came in, "Wait! That's it! This stone has some sort of weird power to shrink things," River continued to eye the large stone blocks that stood around the smaller one, "and maybe perhaps grow things as well," she gave a low sigh, "He really need to see this,"
Raising her hand in the air once more, the sonic screwdriver started to blink blue as River transmitted her message to wherever the Doctor may be in time and space.

Amy relaxed in her comfy chair, flipping through one of the magazines that she was able to find in a random place somewhere in the Tardis, when a familiar rang through the loudspeakers.
"PONDS!"
With a sigh of reluctance, Amy moved from her comfortable spot and made her way to the control room. As she entered, she couldn't help but notice the Doctor frantically running around the room, pressing what she thought were random buttons, twirling things that spin and pulling levers up, down and every other direction.
Rory came down from the stair near Amy; he gave her a kiss on her cheek as he walked up, "Hey,"
The Doctor stopped in his tracks, having a big smile on his face, his raised his arms, mentioning for Amy and Rory to step closer, "Ah, here they are! Mr. and Mrs. Pond! Took you long enough to get here!"
Amy rolled her eyes as she took her place by the Doctor, "What is it now, raggedy man?"
"A message!" the Doctor pointed a finger in a random direction as he turned on his heel to face the controls.
"A message? From whom….and where, I supposes," Rory spoke up as he leaned against the railing.
"From River, that old gal, on a planet called Leutik Pisan, in the galaxy of Ukuran. Never been there actually,"
"That's a surprise," Rory muttered.
"That is a surprise! Considering this planet is fairly new in the last five hundred years,"
This perked Amy's interest, "Really?"
"Really…AHA! Found River's location. Hold on to something!" The Doctor yelled as he harshly pulled one of the many levers down and the Tardis jerked to side, sending Amy and Rory flying to the other side. Amy was lucky to land on her husband as the Tardis smoothed its route out.
Amy frowned at the Doctor as she got back up, only to stumble back unto Rory as the Tardis jerked again. Rory groaned underneath.
"Ah ha, Sorry! We just landed!"
"Ugh," Amy groaned as she got back up again and helped Rory up. As they turned around, the Doctor was already out the door, "Come on," Amy said as she tugged on her husband's arm. As the two walked out the door, they were greeted by five large stones, standing in a circle and a smaller, yet big stone sat in the middle. There was something else that surprised them the most then the unusual stone sizes.
There was the Doctor and he was talking to a smaller version of River.
"River!" Amy gasped, "What happened?"
"Whoa, you're kid size!" Rory sputtered.
"I prefer the term, compact," River announced, a small smile on her face, "and as I was telling sweetie here, I was hiding when a small cyberman came in, fiddle with the box, which emitted a blue light and I found I was smaller than usual after that,"
"Interesting, wonderful really," The Doctor said as he paced around River. He crouched down, raising his hand right above Rivers head then on top of his, "Fantastic job, River! I think you found the stone of…the ever changing size box…stone, I meant stone,"
"The who and what now?" Amy asked.
"Oh I just made that name up, not sure whats it really called, BUT! From what I conclude, this box has the power to change anything to any size!" He proclaimed happily.
"Then can you get me back to my normal size?" River asked sullenly.
"Of course!" The Doctor said as he pulled out his screwdriver, "Good thing this block isn't wood! It doesn't do wood," his face went happy to sad, then cheery again as he flicked his screwdriver, the familiar blue light coming from its end and the familiar buzzing noise came as he started to scan the stone block. A few moments went by before the Doctor stopped his pacing and blue light started to shine from the stone, "Here we go!"
Everyone was temporally blinded by the light. As it subsided, River was back to normal, "Ah, thank goodness! ….oh no!"
They couldn't believe their eyes, Rory was now shorter than everyone else, "Oh come on!" he whined.
"Ah, sorry, lemme try again!" The Doctor scanned the stone another time; they were once again temporally blinded by the light.
This time, Amy and River were shrunken down while Rory was normal size. The Doctor apologized and tried his best to get everyone to normal size. On another try, all four of them were small, but as the Doctor scanned once more, they soon all found there selves back to regular size, except the Doctor was a few inches taller, but he wasn't complaining.
"Well, this has been fun, River! And I would love to stick around and figure out the mysteries of this place, but I have an appointment to go do,"
"An appointment?" Amy and Rory said in unison.
"But you can go to the appointment anytime in the Tardis," River said, a bit confused.
"Well yes, but these people know how time works in a matter of speaking and I have to be there. Come on, Ponds! Time to go!" The Doctor straightens his bowtie and walked into the Tardis.
With another sigh, the Ponds said goodbye to their daughter and followed the Doctor into the Tardis. River stood to the side as she watched the Tardis fade into time, the breaks were still on, so the noise screeched in her ears till it disappeared.
She smiled at the empty space, "That man,"
