The Doctor was frustrated and scared. If Melody locked out everyone, the body that her and River inhabited would be in a coma till she died. River would not be whole and forever locked in the Library's core.

"Why are you still here?" Melody shouted.

"I will not lose both of you."

"Why do I matter? It is River you want."

"You are River. A part of her."

"I am not HER! I wouldn't just leave."

The Doctor could feel a thump on the other side of the door. Melody was leaning against the door. The Doctor felt a tiny bit reassured that Melody would not shut out everyone. He just became lost. He could remember a few of his incarnations despised each other. They were so different that it was always a personality clash.

"Think. Come on think." the Doctor said quietly.

All was quiet for a few moments as the Doctor closed his eyes to concentrate.

"Having some trouble, boy?"

The Doctor looked up to see his first incarnation standing there.

"Hmm?"

Eleven jumped to his feet and hugged the older him. Much to First's objections. First shook Eleven off and touched the door. They needed no words to commune with each other. They were of the same mind just different aspects.

"Melody, are you listening?" Eleven asked.

"Sure."

"I want to introduce you to..the first me." Eleven announced enthusiastically.

"What?"

"Melody I am the first of this strange group. I know it is hard to understand what is going on. It is not your fault."

"Of course it isn't my fault. How could it be my fault?"

"Dam untrained Time Lady mutt." First mumbled.

"Hey!" Eleven shouted as he pulled First away from the door. "That is my...our wife you just insulted."

"Listen boy. Don't ever tell me not to speak the truth. Like it or not, that is what she is."

"Yes, sir." Eleven said as he stepped away. His first incarnation was right but First could be so uncouth at times.

"Young fellow. I want you to go out and get River. Bring her in here while I talk to Melody."

Eleven did not want to leave.

"You best be going, boy." First said with a glare.

"I will be back in a minute." Eleven said.

First watched Eleven phase out of Melody's mind. He knew he had to be gentle. Putting one's mind in order took years to learn and a couple of regenerations to master. First was surprised that Melody/River wasn't more disjointed than The Master was.

"Melody are you still there?"

"Yes.. What do I call you?"

"Just call me Doctor."

"But that is.."

"We are like puzzle pieces. All parts of the same whole."

"River come over here, please." The Doctor whispers.

"Sweetie, open your eyes."

"I can't. I can not totally come out."

"Why?"

"River." the Doctor growls " Just trust..come here. I need to get you in before Melody changes her mind. It is taking two of me to do this."

Everyone in the room exchanges a strange look. Sigma walks over to the Doctor.

"What can I do?" Sigma asks.

"What does he mean two of him?" Amy asks remembering his breakdown.

Sigma shushes everyone.

"Escort River into her body and I will meet you. Thanks."

"OK River you better get going. Try to work with your younger self." Rory says pleading.

"Dad, Mum it isn't that easy."

"I never said it was, River. I won't even pretend to understand what the two of you are going through. All I know is that both Rory and I have known you for a very long time. We were and still are great friends. I love every part of you.."

"Mother, please!" River screamed.

"No, River" Rory said picking up on Amy's thoughts "I know you had a horrible, insane childhood before we met you. We have had to deal with the fact that we lost you. Left you alone and defenseless. There is nothing that can heal that wound. Nothing! But, please, let us help you..no we are all going to help each other. Group therapy. I don't know what will come up during this."

Rory stopped a moment to collect his thoughts. He went and grabbed River by the shoulders. River could see in her father's eyes all the pain he was inflicting on himself because he couldn't be there for her. She glanced at Amy and saw the same thing. She decided to cut this short before she lost her composure again.

"You are right, Dad. I will handle this carefully. Come on Sigma. Let's do this."

River hugged her parents and followed Sigma into her body. Eleven was waiting for them.

"River listen Melody is not very happy with you right now. She is insisting that everyone wants her dead. I know that this is no one's fault. All I want is for you to get into your mind. Then we can work it out from there. Clear?"

"Crystal." River growled.

"River. Please work with us here." Sigma said.

River stomped off towards her front door. Eleven and Sigma ran off after her. Following River as close as they could they witnessed a truly bizarre sight. River stopped to yell at them for not keeping up. As River turned around to yell Sigma and Eleven saw Mels ghost through River. The Doctor turned white. Sigma could tell he was truly horrified.

"What just happened?" Sigma asked.

"My wife has two regenerations in one conscious. I was taught that is the worst thing that could happen. They would just lock them away on Gallifrey."

Sigma could see he was ready to break again.

"Time Boy! Move your arse!" River's body with Mels voice stated.

As they wound down the hallways they could hear talking and laughing. River wasn't looking at anything but the door. She nearly ran over the First Doctor getting there.

"Excuse me, young lady." First said.

"Out of my way old man." River fired off before she realized who she was talking to.
Eleven just cringed. River immediately grabbed for the door handle and pulled with all her might. It didn't budge.

"Open this door now! You little brat!" River screamed.

"You are not going to get in with that attitude." First said.

"I can do whatever I want! This is my brain. " River growled.

"River take a deep breath. A very deep breath." Eleven said.

"Why should I? And who is this guy?"

First looked at Eleven and immediately knew what just happened. First walked over and placed two calming hands on Eleven's shoulders.

Calm down. One step at a time.

"River, dear I am the original Doctor." First calmly announced.

River turned around and blanched out. Eleven watched as River was rendered dumbfounded.

"Well it seems our tempest has calmed." First said.

River placed her hand over her mouth. Nothing sensible was capable of coming out.

"River, this young fellow called me. Seems you and Melody are having some compatibility issues. Nothing to be ashamed of dear. Second and Third could scarcely breathe each others air. They would only work together if I was watching over them."

"So this is normal?" Melody asked from the other side of the door.

"Yes, young one." First said.

"Now if you two ladies would kindly promise not to kill each other, you can join in peace." First stated.

"River you are still mad at me, aren't you." Melody asked.

"River, dear please answer her." First gently ordered.

"I don't know what to think. You were supposed to be silent." River said quietly.

"River, may I speak to you in private?" First asked.

"Go, River, it is OK. I'll be right here." Eleven said.

"Sigma. Sweetie? Are you still there?" Melody quietly asked.

Eleven paused a moment before answering. Sigma was smiling at him. It was a bit weird hearing Melody refer to him by the nickname River gave him.

"I am right here. Love."

That got a giggle out of Melody.

"How did you deal with all of this? I can not imagine eleven of me running around."

"Melody, on Gallifrey, we had a few decades of classes on how to integrate ourselves. Even then, actually performing what we learned was hard. You learn as you go."

"You two will help?"

"Sigma and I will do everything in our power to give River and you some peace. Always remember you are infinitely stronger when all of you works together. Also, River doesn't hate you. First was telling you the truth when he said a few of me couldn't work together. Drive each other crazy. Yes, all the time. But, hate each other, no. Never. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Doctor. I think I do anyway." Melody quietly answered.

The Doctor greatly relaxed. This might come out fine. Eleven was startled when the door he was resting against moved. He stood up and looked at the small face that peeked through the cracked door.

"Hi Melody." both Sigma and the Doctor chimed.

"Hi Doctor. Hi Sigma. Where is River?"

"First and her are talking. This might be a while." Eleven said.
