"Extractor fans on!" Savannah ordered once inside the TARDIS. The fans Kicked on at once, removing the smoke from inside the TARDIS. Props to ANYONE who knows the movie mentioned and quoted. I'll list your names at the end of the next chapter.
"Ohh. That worked!" The Doctor pitched forward towards the console. "This isn't good. Voice interface. Come on! Voice interface-EMERGENCY." Savannah came to his side.
A hologram of the Doctor appeared.
"Voice interface enabled."
"No, no, no, no, no! It's got to be someone I LIKE!"
The hologram shifted to Rose.
"Oh, THANKS. Give me guilt." It shifted to Martha. "Also guilt." To Donna Noble. "MORE GUILT! Come on, there has to be someone in the universe who I haven't screwed up yet!"
"Voice interface enabled."
It was Savannah, age eight.
"Oh. Savannah. Before I got anything wrong. Before I screwed anything up. My sweet little Princess."
"I am not Savannah Trevulartiez. I am a voice interface."
"Let's run away and have adventures! Come along, Princess!"
"I am not Savannah Trevulartiez. I am a voice interface."
"Oh, so stubborn. How am I doing?"
"Your system has been contaminated by the poison of the Judas Tree. You will be dead in thirty two minutes."
"Oh, I'm not that bad," Savannah hissed, Placing her lips to his forhead, as he clasped a hand to his neck.
"Okay, so, basically I better regenerate. That's what you're saying."
"Regeneration Disabled. You will be dead in thirty two minutes."
"Unless I'm cured, right?"
"There is no cure. You will be dead in thirty two minutes."
"Why do you keep saying that?"
"Because you'll be dead in thirty two minutes."
"There you go again! Basically skipping thirty one whole minutes when I'm absolutely fine. Stubborn, that's all I'm saying."
"Shut up." Savannah ordered.
"You will be fighting for thity one minutes, you will be dead in thirty two minutes."
"But River needs me! YOU need me! I can't die now!"
"You will not die now. You will die in thirty two minutes."
"Going out in the first round. Is that ringing any bells! AHH!" The Doctor screamed in agony, and Savannah grabbed onto him.
"Shh, shhh."
"I need something for the pain now," The Doctor mumbled into the floor, looking at the hologram. "Come on, Princess. It's me."
"I am not Savannah Trevulartiez. I am a voice interface."
"Savannah...Listen to me. I can be brave for you. But you have got to tell me how."
"I am not Savannah Trevulartiez. I am a voice interface."
"Savannah. Please. Please." He was close to passing out.
No way would leather jackets that smell like vanilla do anything, but what had Amy said? Savannah thought for a long second before whispering close to him.
"Fish fingers and custard."
The Doctor's eyes snapped open.
"What did you say?"
She stayed silent.
"Hahaha!" He wanted to kiss her but refused to pass the poison over. "Fish fingers and custard! Savannah! Fish fingers and custard." He forced himself up. "And Jackets that smell like Vanilla!" He pulled a leaver on the console and the TARDIS took off. The Doctor, miraculously, had gathered enough strength to move freely, and change into a tux.
"Spiffy." Savannah opened the door. "Uh...Amy's a robot."
"You killed the Doctor, under order of the Silence, and Academy of the Question. Do you recognize this to be true?"
"Honestly, I don't remember-" Melody was cut off by Amy-bot's mouth opening and shining a blue light on her. "Get- GET OFF OF ME!"
"Sorry. Did you say she killed the Doctor?" The man himself was now leaning against the TARDIS, hands on a cane.
"Doctor Who?" Savannah grinned.
"You're dying...And you stopped to change?" Melody barely looked at Savannah as she strolled down the marble steps slowly Coming to stand next to Amy-bot.
"OH! You should always waste time when you don't have any! TIME is not the butt of you. Rule 408. Amelia Pond!" The Doctor stopped dancing around and faced the bot. "Judgment death machine...Why am I not supprised?" He thrust the cane upwards. "SONIC CANE!"
"Are you serious?"
"Unfortuantely...Yes, he is."
He began scanning the Amy-bot, a big fat grin on his face.
"Never knowingly. Never Knowingly be serious. Rule 27. You may want to write these down." He checked the results of his scan. "Ooh it's a robot! With nine hundred and twenty three light signs inside. A robot worked by tiny people...Love it!" He smiled at Savannah.
"You can't keep it." She sighed softly.
"But how did you all get in there? Bigger on the inside?" He checked the cane again. Basic miniturization by compression field. Ooh, you are what you eat. It'll get you every time! Amy, If you and Rory are okay, please signal me." His Sonic Cane snapped open, and the Doctor smiled. "Thanking you." He suddenly shouted in pain, then began squirming on the ground.
"Theta!"
"Sorry! Left leg fell asleep! Actually, I think I hear the right one yawning. Better sit down."
Savannah helped him sit on the steps. Melody made a run for it, and the Amy-bot shined that light on her.
"STOP!" Savannah ordered, a shield jumping up between Melody and the light, and Melody and the door.
"Why would you care, she's the woman who kills your lover?"
"He's not dead!" Savannah batted the hat off his head.
"He's dying."
"Well, at least he's not a time traveling, shape shifting robot operated by miniature cross people. Which I have to admit...I didn't see coming. What do you want with her?" Savannah pointed at Melody.
"She's Melody Pond." The Amy-Bot responded. "According to our records, she's the woman who kills the Doctor."
"And he's the Doctor, so what does it have to do with you?"
"Throughout history, criminals have gone unpunished throughout their life times. Time travle has...responsibilities."
"Ahahaha." The Doctor laughed, pulling Savannah over to him so he could lean his head against her hip. "What, you got yourselves time travle so you decide to punish dead people?"
"We don't kill them we...extract them near the end of their established time lines."
"Then what?"
"We give them hell."
"I'd ask you who you think you are, but I think the answer is pretty obvious. So...Who do you think I am?" He pointed to Melody. "The woman who killed the Doctor. Sounds like you've got my biography and now...I'd like a peek."
"Our records office is sealed to the public. Foreknowledge is dangerous."
"Yeah, well, I'll be dead in three minutes. There isn't much foreknowledge left." After the Doctor finished his sentence, he began recalling the feeling of Savannah's skin on his own. That would be the last thoughts he'd think of.
"Sorry, can't do that...records available." Seems Amy changed their minds.
"Question. I'm dying. Who wants me dead."
"The Silence."
"What is the Silence? Why is it called that? What does it mean?"
"The Silence is not a species. It is a religious order or movement. Their core belief is that Silence will fall when the Question is asked."
"What question?"
"The first question. The oldest question in the universe. Hidden in plain sight."
"Yes, but what is the question?"
"...Unknown."
"Oh, well a fat lot of good use that is, ya big ging! Call yourself a record-Gahh!" The Doctor took Savannah down with him when he collapsed in pain. "Ahh! Kidneys are always the first to quit! Oh, I've had better, you know!"
Melody suddenly burst into red light, crying out in pain.
"Amy, Rory, Amy! Can you hear, me?" The Doctor was crawling on the floor, Savannah helping him carefully, tears falling down her face.
"What do we do? This is me, this is me actually talking. What do we do?"
"Just stop them. She's your daughter. Just stop them."
"How, how, how?"
"JUST DO IT!" Savannah shouted.
Suddenly, Melody was released.
"Please," The Doctor begged. "Now you have to save your parents. Don't run. I know you're scared. But never run when you're scared!"
"Rule number seven." Savannah looked into Melody's eyes. The Doctor finally collapsed and Savannah sobbed, shaking her head. "Oh, Theta. You made me watch once. Please don't make me watch again."
"Doctor. Doctor can you hear us? Doctor, Savannah help us! Doctor! Doctor!" The Doctor opened his eyes, and grabbed Savannah's shoulder to push himself up, gasping for air. He made it to the stairs, and Melody watched from a chair.
"Look at you," She scoffed. "You still care."
The Doctor ignored her, and continued trying to get up the stairs.
"It's impressive, I'll give you that."
"Please...River!" Savannah called.
"Again!" Melody stood from the chair. "Who is she. She has to be a woman!"
"Just...help me." The Doctor begged. "Save Amy and...Rory."
"Tell me about her!" Melody demanded.
"GAH Just-" The Doctor couldn't continue shouting. "Help me. Savannah... Go. River and go. Amy and Rory."
"Hey. I love you." She kissed his lips, long and hard, not caring if the poison got her too- hoping for it, actually. "I love you so much. More than anything in the universe."
"Love..you. Go."
She kissed him again, smoothing his hair back, before grabbing Melody by the ear and tugging her along.
"Hey, HEY! Aunt Savy!"
"Shut the fuck up! What did I say about time out? You've gone and killed your uncle! Now you sit in that seat and be the fuck quiet! Some Child of the TARDIS we turned out to be." She shoved Melody in the jump seat, and carressed the console. "Take us to Amy and Rory, old girl." She pulled the Leaver, and the TARDIS took off.
"Doctor?" She looked up from the console and saw Amy and Rory in the doorway, hugging. "You did it!"
"Not him." Savannah whiped her face, walked over to the coat rack and took the tweed jacket off of it, hugging it to her chest. "Not him, Amy."
It went silent as they caught sight of their daughter.
"It would seem I may be able to fly her. She showed me how. Taught me. The Doctor and Savannah said...I'm the Child of the TARDIS..What do they mean?"
"Where is he?" Amy asked. The TARDIS flew a switch on her own, and threw her doors open. Savannah raced through immediately, sitting at the Doctor's side, and caressing the side of his face.
"You aren't going to die now," Amy denied. "I know you don't die now."
"Oh, Pond." He scoffed gently. You've got a schedual for everything."
"Doctor come on, what do we do?" Rory asked. "How can we help you?"
"I'm sorry Rory, but you can't." The Doctor leaned into Savannah's palm. "Nobody can...Ponds, Savannah, listen to me. I need to talk to Melody."
Savannah kissed the side of his nose, and he closed his eyes, savoring the feeling. She got up and moved past Melody. Rory grabbed Savannah and Amy in a hug, as they watched the interaction.
"Find her. Find River Song, and tell her something for me."
"What?" Melody leaned down to listen, as he whispered his name in her ear. Savannah knew that was what it was. She just knew. "Well, I'm sure she-"
The Doctor's eyes were closed, and he was unmoving.
"Who's River Song?" Melody asked Amy. The three devastated companions looked at eachother. Then Amy walked to the Amy-Bot.
"Are you still working? Because I'm still a relative." She told it. "Access files on River Song."
"Records Available."
"Show me her. Show me River Song." Amy demanded. Savannah just shook her head, and lay her hands on the Doctor's still chest. Golden light poured out of her hands and eyes, her lips even tinted the same gold.
"Melody, The Doctor had a message for you-for River Song. What was it?" Amy asked. River just pointed at Savannah.
"It was to let her do that, and something else, I'm meant to keep between the Lover and the Competition, he said. I assume I'm the competition."
"Savannah, what are you doing?" Amy snapped. Savannah shrugged, and pressed her lips to the Doctor's. They were still warm. The instant her golden tinged lips touched his, he took a deep, powerful breath through his nose. She pulled back, slightly.
"Princess. No...What are you doing?" He asked, eyes half lidded.
"Hello, my King." She kissed him again. The Tardis whirred in the background, and the regeneration energy, and Asclepius' energy circled around them as they kissed. Melody came and put her own glowing hands on Savannah's shoulders, sending her remaining regenerations into the Doctor. It was enough to knock them both out long enough to get them to the hospital.
"Hey," Amy smiled as River came to.
"Hi. Where am I?"
"You're safe. Don't worry. Apearently you both used up all your regenerations in one go. Unfortunately for Savannah, the regenerations didn't matter anyways. YOU however shouldn't have done that."
"Mother." River chuckled. "I had to try."
"I know." Amy smiled.
"He said no one could save him. But he must have known Savannah and I could."
"Rule number one." The Doctor was in a bed next to River's, holding Savannah's still yet conscious form, stroking her hair. "The Doctor lies."
River smiled, and fell asleep again.
"She just needs to rest." The nurse told them. "Then she'll be fine."
"No." Savannah opened her blue eyes and smiled at the Doctor. "She will be amazing."
The Doctor left her a diary. The very Diary that River was known for.
Then, they all got into the TARDIS.
"So that's it then. We just leave her there?" Amy asked, hand locked with Rory's.
"Sisters of the Infinate Schisim. Best hospital in the Universe." The Doctor shrugged.
"We should have left you there for a while." Savannah protested.
"But she's our Daughter!" Amy snapped at the Doctor half heartedly. "Doctor, she's River...And she's our daughter."
"Amy, I know. But we have to let her make her own way, now. We have too much foreknowledge." He turned to face the picture stating his date and place of death. "Dangerous thing, foreknowledge."
"What's that?" Amy asked, trying to see. The Doctor turned it off before she could.
"NOTHING!" He smiled. "Just some Data from the Tesla. Very boring.
"Doctor, River was brainwashed to kill you, right?"
"Well she did kill him. Then She used her remaining lives to bring him back, along with mine. Well...Kinda mine. As first dates go, Theta, I'd say that's mixed signals."
"I'd rather date you." He kissed her, a spark of gold shooting off from their lips as they met.
"That right there! That stuff that was in her hands. Is it all gone now? The River that we know in the future. She is in prison...for murder."
"Who's murder?" Amy added after Rory's sentence.
Savannah took a step away from them, as did the Doctor. Then they both smiled and began to race around the console.
"Will we see her again?" Amy rolled her eyes at them.
"Ehh, she'll come looking for us!"
"Yeah, but how? How do people even look for you?"
"Oh Pond," The Doctor smiled. "Haven't you figured that one out yet?"
"OH SHIT!" Savannah's head snapped up and she looked wide eyed at the Doctor.
"What?"
"We left Hitler locked in a closet!"
