Okay, guys. This is my mid-season finale, as I'm putting it. I'm going to take a 4 week break(which unfortunatly is right when I get back to school), and then come back for 6 more 'episodes', which will conclude this story. This story gives us our first 'glimpse' of the Doctor. Remember, the characters had different backgrounds. River didn't give up her regenerations just yet in this one. I hope you enjoy

"DAD! No!" The Master froze where he was. River's dad was... Blimey! He was meeting her parents and hadn't even known it. Amy gave him a wicked grin, seemingly because she knew he'd just figured it out. But that wasn't it. He tried to run to help River, but she grabbed him by his collar

"Now, Master, you didn't think we'd let you go so easily, did you?"

"What- what are you doing? From the sounds of it, your husband's dead, and your daughter's about to die. et me go, and I can save her"

"Oh, very good. You worked it out. But not all of it. You must be really stupid not to have figured out that I don't want her saved. And I don't want you saved either. So I think I have a little... idea" The Master paled. What was she going to do. He felt cold metal touch his skin, before a click came out, and he knew what it was.

"River should approve" Amy said, laughing. The Master sighed.

"Handcuffs. Look, kill me, but let me save her first" Amy laughed at that. It was all she'd ever heard, and it was so true. Always pretending to be the 'hero', as if there was such a thing. He'd done noone any good today, and he still thought himself the savior! A gunfire rung out

"4 then?" Amy asked, pulling herself and the Master into River's line of sight.

"Mum, it ki-" she saw the Master "Let him go"

"Put down the gun"

"Never" The Master shifted a bit. He tried to pull out of them how he'd been taught. Houdinni himself had shown him how he did it, and how other did it. Houdinni really had his own special trick... It didn't work

"Blast it! River, she's using your handcuffs!" River laughed for a second before realizing what was going on.

"I thought you said you were going to use those on dad!"

"I did. And then I used them on him. I am so changeable! It is a weakness with me. But to be fair to myself, it is my only weakness. He can't be allowed to continue. He just can't." Amy laughed to herself. River still had the gun pointed at her

"And if I decide to shoot you where you stand?" Amy gave a short mocking burst of outrage

"You'd shoot your own mother? I'd say I was surprised, but considering how bad of a daughter you were, I'm really not. But I will let you know that my employer has altered your little handcuffs. If I die, then he dies... on second thought-" grabs the gun out of her pocket. "That would be an easy way to complete my goal" River glared at her a moment before sending out three shots. One to knock the gun from her hand, and the other to shoot out her kneecaps. Amy gasped in pain, completely in shock. The Master backed away from her quickly, still unable to get off the handcuffs. He ran over to River, who started undoing them. They were halfway off before they heard a grunt. Amy had stabbed herself in the stomach. River ran up to her

"Who was your employer? Tell me!"

"Doctor..." At that, she died. River knew because of the sickening groan from behind her. She turn around to see the Master on the floor, glowing.

"I love you River" He exploded in the golden light

What'd you think? Regenerating Master, evil Amy. I particularly enjoyed that one. I used a quote from a televison show. You get a character if you can tell me where it's from and who said it. Also, if anyone has any ideas, it'd be very helpful. I have the last two episodes of the story done, but it's up to you what happens before that. Don't forget to review to get inside the story!
