"I just can't believe she plotted ahead, even after I tried to save her."

"I can't believe you tried to save her anyway."

"Even after everything she done, I couldn't just let her die."

StormCage. River and Mai sat in their opposite cells, talking to each other as they did every day. River sighed and sat back on her bed, reading through her diary of the adventures of The Doctor as the rain splashed down. A new guard walked down the hallway and picked up the phone as it rang.

"The Doctor? Do you mean Doctor Song?" The guard asked. River jumped to her feet and grabbed onto the bars, staring at him. Mai sat up in curiosity, watching both of them.

"Give me that, seriously, I'm entitled to phone calls." River said desperatley as the guard walked over, passing her the phone. "Doctor?" She asked as she listened down the phone. "You'll find him in the time vortex, it doesn't always work, but The TARDIS is smart, she's re routed the call. Talk quickly, this connection will last less that a minute." She nodded as she listened.

"Doctor Song." The guard interupted. "Are you finished with that?"

"You new here aren't you?" She asked as she gave him the phone back, Mai rolling her eyes knowing exactly what was going to happen.

"First aid." He said sheepishly.

"Then I'm very sorry." She said, pulling him forward and kissing him. He turned into a trance, not moving as Mai stuck her sonic through the bars of her cell, unlocking River's. She ran out and grabbed a pen, drawing a picture of her mother on the back wall saying bye, as The Doctor had once told her before passing River the vortex minipulator.

"You'll find it in the royal collection. The coordinates are already set."

"How do you know this?"

"Timelines and all, be very careful, we thought you done this before going to the library." She said and River teleported off. She ran out and into her own cell as the guard woke up, sounding the alarms and pointing his gun at the drawing.

"She had the lipstick, she tried to use it." He said as the other guards appeared, looking confused. "Your tricks don't work in here Doctor Song." Mai chuckled to herself, laying back and waited.

After half a hour, the guards had given up. They were used to River escaping anyway. So when the coast was clear, Mai took out her sonic and changed the setting pointing it in front of her and pressing the button to which, The TARDIS appeared. She grinned to herself before opening the door of her cell and slipping inside the empty TARDIS. She smiled and looked round the room before running up to the console, turning the breaks off and sending The TARDIS to back where it had come from. She silently stepped out into the attic to find it empty. She walked out and along the corridor, looking in all the rooms and again, empty. Eventually she walked out the front door and through the gate, smiling at everyone sitting on the grass chatting, as The Doctor badly attempted to man the barbeque. She laughed at The Doctor's chef hat on top of his head before Melody looked up, grinning and running over to her.

"MUMMY!" She called as Mai picked her up, cuddling her. "Where have you been, it's been 2 months!"

"2 months?" She whispered. "I'm sorry sweetie, it hasn't been that long with me." She chuckled, watching The Doctor give up with the barbeque. "You ok Dad?" She asked, giving him and hug, putting Mels down.

"Where's your mum?"

"I had to nick The TARDIS, she's out." She said, sitting down next to everyone on the grass.

"Out?"

"She's doing The Pandorica today."

"WHAT?" The Doctor spluttered, sitting down next to Sarah-Jane. "I thought she done that before the library?"

"Obviously not. Her and her haluconegenic lipstick."

"Bloody lipstick." He muttered.

"So what's new around here?"

"Mum got a new boyfriend." Clyde said. "Turned out to be a Slitheen."

"Nothing unusual really." Rani said. "How's prison?"

"It's prison." Mai said. "It's easier than I thought it would be, as Mum's there, but I really miss Earth."

"You staying for the weekend then?" Sarah-Jane asked.

"Er, I-" Mai murmered, looking at Luke, who had been quiet the whole time.

"Please Mummy, please!" Mels begged, tugging on her arm. She smiled at her daughter before picking up her phone and walking off as it started ringing. She leaned against Sarah-Jane's car whilst everyone stood in the garden.

"Hello?" She said as she answered it.

"Look behind you." She turned round and on the other side of the street there stood Sam, grinning at her. "You busy today?"

"Give me 5 minutes, I've come straight from StormCage." She said, hanging up. "I've gotta go out." She said, walking back into the garden, picking up her sonic.

"But you've only just come back." Luke said.

"I know and I'm sorry. But I have to go."

"Are you leaving us to go back to prison?" Melody asked quietly.

"I'd never leave you without saying goodbye." She said, heading out the gate. "I won't be long, promise."

...

"So what we doing today?" She asked as she walked through town, arms linked with Sam.

"Whatever you like. Although were gonna meet Sadie and Charlie later. The old team, us 4 again."

"Fantastic." She grinned.

"So how's Mels?"

"I've been away for 2 months." She sighed. "It's hard. Luke gets to be there when it's her first day of school, her first boyfriend, when she leaves school, her first painting, her first friend."

"You can be there too though."

"There's no guaruntee I'll turn up on time. That's why I gave her up. Being a child and having to deal with time travel is hard. I don't want to like meet someone else and say in 2 years time get married or something, and I go to see her, and from her point of view, I haven't even met them yet."

...

"You sure you ain't coming out with us tomorrow?" Sadie asked. The 4 of them stood on the doorstep, Sadie about to go in as it got darker.

"I would guys, but them lot haven't seen me in 2 months. I'll come see you soon though yeah? Bring Mels down to play with Harley and that."

"And me?" Sam asked.

"I'll see you soon too." She chuckled, walking inside. "Seeya." She said, shutting the door. She quietly walked upstairs before walking into Luke's room and sitting down on the bed.

"So your back." Luke said, appearing at the door and standing behind her as she looked out of the window.

"Sorry. I was out longer than I expected." She sighed as he put his hands on her waist. "You didn't tell anyone did you?" She asked. "That we slept together the night before I went to prison."

"No." He whispered in her ear. "Did you?"

"No." She said, turning round to face him, his hands still on her waist. She slid her arms around his neck and sighed. "Where is everyone?"

"Your Dad took them all out to the cinema."

"He doesn't carry money though?" She said in confusion.

"Amy nagged him a while back, saying now he's got a proper family he should be prepared. So The TARDIS made him a psychic credit card."

"Oh god." She chuckled. She sighed and looked up, into his eyes. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too." He whispered. They both leaned closer together, their lips eventually touching. Luke pulled her closer to him, kissing her hard.

I don't think they were going to tell anyone about this time either...
