Little Aurora Song
Chapter 4
-Back to Aurora's point of view-
It wasn't long until my eyes fluttered open, revealing my emerald green orbs. That's strange. I thought I fell asleep in an alley? Was it just a dream? The man an the woman? They seemed nice...I hope they were real. I yawned and rubbed my eyes before sitting back up. Looking around, I saw that I wasn't in my room at the orphanage as I had hoped. Where was I? I really don't remember this place. Did someone bring me here? Not that I didn't like it. It was really pretty! It had light purple walls with pretty flowers on them! There were so many colors of flowers; Red, white, blue, yellow, and pink just to name a few. There was a painting of a tree that went over the bed and then branched out to create a canopy type of thing. It had really pretty blossoms on it! The floors had a white carpet that reminded me of snow. This room was almost like a mixture of all different seasons and I really loved it! I was kind of afraid though. I didn't know where I was. That was enough to make anyone scared!
Hesitantly, I turned around and faced the door, my feet hanging off the side of the bed. I slowly slid off of the bed, my feet met with a very soft white carpet. It was way better than a cold floor like at the orphanage, I suppose. I wondered if I was just adopted and this was my new room? I smiled at the thought. It would certainly be nice, but I would remember being adopted! ...Wouldn't I?
I slowly walked to the door and placed my hand on the door knob. Should I go see what is out here? I think I will!
I turned the knob and pulled the door open to reveal a very long hallway. It looked so cool! It reminded me of the hallways in one of those movies that took place in the future! It was really awesome. But which way do I go? I sighed, looking down. Now what do I do? Those hallways looked like they could go on for a long time. What if I get lost? Hmm...maybe I could see if someone was nearby and could hear me!
"U-Um...Hello?!" I called out softly, wondering if anyone could hear me, "Is anybody there?!" I reluctantly took a small set into the hallway and turned to the right, slowly beginning to walk in that direction. "Hello?"
Five minutes- five minutes and all I was seeing was doors. I sighed and crossed my arms with a huff of annoyance. Where was everybody? Soon, however, soft voices and laughter filled the air. Two voices sounded familiar, but the other two didn't.
"So Doctor, River, Who is the little girl? You never really mentioned yet." Asked a female voice. Was...Was she Scottish?
"She's...it's a long story for another time, pond." came another voice. I remember him now! He was one of the people that found me in the alley! I tried not to crack a smile. I didn't know exactly where I was, but this person seemed nice! I like him!
"But Doctor, we travel in the TARDIS too. We have a right to know, yeah? Right Rory?"
I didn't hear any other voice after that, so maybe the person named Rory just nodded. I quietly stepped toward the large door and peaked my head out. Wow...what was this place?! It's really pretty!
"Oh, speaking of the devil!" I looked up and saw that the bowtied man was. Grinning down at me. "River, look who's awake!" He made his way down the stairs and knelt down to my height. "Hello there!" He greeted, "Welcome to the TARDIS, Aurora." The man looked up at the woman before his playful attitude seemed to fly away and seriousness took its place.
"Aurora-" He began, but was cut off by the woman. River song, I think was her name, "No, sweetie. I want to tell her."
She knelt down as well, waving me over to her. I, of course, shyly obeyed.
"Aurora, remember when we found you in the alley and you gave me this?" She asked and held up the old looking envelope. I simply nodded. Where was she going with this? Did she know mummy or daddy!?
"Well Aurora...I have some good news." She smiled, her eyes seeming to glisten, "We-"
This time, it was her that was cut off by the goofy man. "We're your parents!"
I took a step back and looked up at the two in disbelief. Was it true? Were they really my mummy and daddy? I mean, yeah, I do look like them, but it doesn't seem like it could be true! It was too good to be! I really found them!
I felt tears begin to form in my eyes. "Mummy?" I looked at her and then the man. "D-Daddy?" I could feel two other sets of eyes watching us, but at that moment, I could care less. I ran forward and into the woman's arms. I hugged her as tightly as I could. She responded by hugging me back and placing her head on top of mine gently. The Doctor soon joined in, grinning once more.
"I'm sorry. What?"
I heard another male's voice, followed by the Scottish woman again. "Daughter? Doctor, River, you have a daughter?" Both of them seemed very confused but somewhat happy. I shrugged them off and nuzzled mummy's shoulder. She kissed my head and pulled away, turning to look at the others.
"Like we said earlier, we'll fill you in later." She told them, taking my hand in hers. I sniffled and rubbed my eyes with my free hand. The two strangers looked annoyed by my mummy's answer but nodded.
"Fine, Fine." The Scottish woman rolled her eyes before walking over to me. "My name's Amy. Amy Pond. And this is Rory, my husband. What is your name, love?"
Didn't she hear them talking? I thought she would have known my name by now but I guess not. I smiled up at them.
"My name is Aurora!" I told the two cheerfully, "Aurora song!" They smiled down at me.
"Nice to meet you," Amy began, "You can call me aunt Amy of you'd like." Aunt? I have an aunt too!
I nodded quickly. "Okay auntie Amy!" I walked forward and hugged her leg before walking back toward the doctor and grabbing his pants leg. He raised an eyebrow and looked down at me. "Yes, love?" He asked.
"The room I woke up in...is it mine?" I tilted my head, hoping that the answer was yes. I really loved that room! It was pretty! So much better than my room at the orphanage!
He nodded. "Of course! Why, did you not like it?" I shook my head.
"I loved it! So that's what I was hoping you'd say!"
He ruffled my hair. "So River, Amy, she's going to need new clothes since hers are at the orphanage. So what do you say? Wanna take her shopping?" He asked Auntie and Mummy as he picked me up. The two women looked at each other and smirked before nodding and replying with an "of course!"
"But daddy, you're coming too, right?" I looked up at him with my puppy dog eyes. I wanted him to come too!
"Well...I guess I have to now don't I?" He replied, grinning. He kissed my forehead lightly and then set me back down on the ground. "Hmm...so what year? Not too far in the future, obviously, but not too far in the past either. Hm...2018 sound good?"
"We could always try then, I suppose."
I gazed up at them confused. What were they talking about? Time?
Rory must have seen my confused expression because he laughed lightly and looked down at me. "Uh...This is a time machine, Aurora. Well...spaceship and time machine if that makes sense?"
Aunt Amy smiled at him and rolled her eyes, patting his back. "We should let the doctor explain." Mummy nodded in agreement. "Yeah. He might possibly know how to break it down.."
The doctor gazed down at me. "Right! Forgot to
Explain that, didn't I? Always forget that bit sometimes. Rubbish. Sorry 'bout that. And Rory, good attempt. "
Rory sighed and gave the doctor a thumbs up. He tried. That's all he could say.
He bent down to my level. "Aurora, your home now is a spaceship...a time machine spaceship. The TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Basically, we can go to any time or place in the universe." He finished explaining, chuckling at my confused expression.
"You get used to it." My Mummy told me softly before turning back to her husband. "So? Let's get with it then. Let's go shopping!" She picked me up and smiled.
