A/N- Extraordinarily short chapter, but it flowed to an end so well I didn't want to disturb it.


It had been a very long day, even for a little Time Lady, yet Bella was still reluctant to go to sleep because the sun "had just barely gone to bed yet."

Hearing her reasoning and seeing her very eager expression, the Doctor chuckled at his little girl, meeting River's eyes and winking, basking in parental amusement.

"Doctor, don't you know somewhere where the sun went to bed a while ago?" nudged Canton, still looking around the Doctor's ship and studying various levers.

"Aha!" shouted the Doctor in excitement, clapping his hands and twirling, just as his daughter mimiced him, "Right you are, Canton, my man! Dormis Morpheus- planet of moonbeams. Years ago the locals were able to harness the power of their moon into psychic energy, and have made a game of dream influence."

"Is that safe?" asked Amy, wary of anything that influenced dreams.

"Course it is, Pond. Perfectly safe. You can choose what types of dreams you want, or you can just run through the moonbeams at random and whichever you happen to run through each have different effects."

Then he turned, closing the doors as he prepared to take off once more.

"Shouldn't someone get ready for bed then, Doctor?" asked Rory, pointing toward Bella, thinking it might be wiser to get her properly changed so she could just fall asleep after this adventure.

Bella stopped the Doctor's answer, staring up at him with wide eyes. "But Daddy! You always need my help to drive the TARDIS!"

This startled all of the Ponds and made Amy and River snort. Rory simply chuckled at the earnestness in the little girl's face. The Doctor didn't even miss as he answered his daughter.

"Course I do! She wouldn't fly properly without my best first mate, would she?" He turned and glared at his friends for a moment (thinking he needed help flying his ship!) before indicating what the dial he'd just adjusted had added to the room- a miniature replica of the console, just at the toddler's eye level.

Amy and River shared a look, both smiling at the sight before them: the Doctor poised at his TARDIS console, his daughter at a miniature replica all her own, both in identical stances. Then the Doctor lifted his hand, turning his head to watch Bella copying everything he did.

"Are we ready for take-off, First Mate Song?"

"Aye aye, Captain Daddy," she said, determination on her face. Right before the Doctor called the order, she turned toward her mother, her face truly puzzled.

"What about Captain Mommy?"

River pressed her lips together to keep in her surprised giggle, hurrying over to her side of the (adult-sized) console as well.

"Aye aye, Miss," she said, smiling widely.

"Okay then...Let's go!" the Doctor gave the command, steering and twirling about the console in the dance familiar only to him, the little girl on his right imitating every movement on her smaller toy version, on course to their destination.

As a very amused Amy and Rory took in the sight before them, Canton gave them a knowing nod.

"You should see it when she wears the tweed."
