Chapter 2- The Flashback
It was day, and an excited child ran in and around the great big console. It was Emma's 14th birthday. Back then her hair was more like that of her grandmother's neat, free flowing and ginger. She ran around with excitement as her mother and father watched as they were flying the old machine.
"1200 years old yet you still fly her wrong sweetie" River said, her eyes showing a subtle sarcasm but an overall love as her family was around her.
"I am not flying her wrong" He snapped back "You just like to be boring" He said straightening his bow tie and brushing his waist coat. His eyes gave a similar look to hers.
"Sweetie you're just jealous that I fly better than you" She snapped back sarcastically watching as her husband brought them into land.
"Hey I have piloted this ship for over 1000 years I choose how to fly her" he said in reply "but here we are. Emma! Get your coat" he said before picking up a hamper and blanket.
They walk out of the blue box they looked out upon the fields of peace and tranquillity that the eye of Orion had.
"Happy Birthday Emma" the couple said as they granted Emma her birthday wish, she wanted to see a meteor shower in the snow and so her parents made it so, that day was special as they built a snowman and had a snow ball fight, and finishing the evening with a picnic as the sky exploded with light and colour.
As Emma sat there huddled between her parents, her parents stared at each other and smiled as they got caught in the magic of both the moment and their love for their family.
