The Doctor stood up from the bed, his clothes rumpled.

He'd spent the night in his room, but he hadn't slept.

He'd needed time to mourn the loss of his daughter on his own.

Amys words had hurt, but there was a certain truth to them.

If a parents job was to protect their child, what sort of a parent did that make him?

He walked through to the Console Room.

He was surprised to find Amy, eyes shut, curled up on the Console Room floor, tearstains on her cheeks.

As he went to lift her up, intending to put her in her own room, she mumbled "I'm awake."

"How did you sleep?" the Doctor said warily, as Amy sat up.

"I didn't." Amy said.

He nodded.

"I'm so sorry." Amy said, and he could hear the tears in her voice.

He pulled her into a hug and she buried her head on his shoulder.

"I was thinking, y'know, we could go back-" she began.

"Amy, I've told you, we can't take her." the Doctor cut her off.

"No, I know. We can't take her - but we can give her a proper goodbye." she peeked up at him.

A grin spread across his face.

"I love you Amy Pond."


I remember the day my parents left me.

My mother kissed my forehead and smiled.

"You will never be alone."

My father held me one last time, tears in his eyes.

"Hold on. We're coming for you I swear it, whatever happens, however hard, however far, we will find you."

My life had been set in stone, and this time could not be changed.

If they alter my future, they will DIE...

Now I'm searching the stars to find them - before someone else finds me...

I am Melody Pond...

And my life is in danger...

But I will fight...

"Melody Pond is a superhero."

'Till the bitter end...


Short but sweet. Basically the end part is Melody remembering how her parents left her. Next week we get to meet Melody in person and learn what has happened to her. Review for a preview! :)
