Chapter 7

"Doctor, who's this?" Amy asked after entering the TARDIS with Rory, Mels and the Doctor. She was looking at a red haired girl, hiding behind the console.

The Doctor smiled and walked towards her. Passing his arms around the girl's shoulders he led her in front of them. Amy and Rory looked at each other: she looked a lot like Amy but with short hair. They could have been sisters.

"Her name is Melody Williams." said the Doctor calmly.

"This is not funny Doctor." Amy said with a bitter tone. She was on the point of slapping him.

"This is not a joke Amelia. She's not your daughter, she's not Melody Pond, she's Melody Williams. She's from a parallel universe and she's a mystery. She knows things. I'll explain later." he said before going to the console and entering the coordinates Mels asked for.

"I'm sorry Amy, it must be hard for you to… know me… but…" Melody looked quickly at Mels. "I promise you that the Doctor will find your daughter, and so will you."

"What do you know?" Amy said, looking coldly at Melody. She didn't trust her.

"Today, you see your daughter." Melody said before heading to the console.

Suddenly a loud noise echoed.

"You shot it! You shot my TARDIS! shouted the Doctor while the TARDIS was shaking in every direction. "You shot the console!"

"It's your fault!" said Mels.

"How is it my fault?!"

"You said guns didn't work in this place! You said we're in a state of temporal grace!" she shouted as everybody was grabbing something to hang on to while the Doctor was trying to fix the console.

"That was a clever lie, Mels!" Melody yelled.

"See, anyone could tell that was a clever lie!" the Doctor added.

The TARDIS shook even harder before stabilizing. Then smoke started to fill the console room.

"Out, out, out! Everybody out!" said the Doctor, opening the door and getting out. "Don't breath the smoke!"

"Where are we?" Amy asked.

"A room!"

"What room?" Rory said.

"I don't know I haven't memorised every room in the universe! I had yesterday off!" the Doctor answered. "Mels don't go in there! Bad smoke! Don't breath the bad bad smoke, bad deadly smoke, because somebody shot my TARDIS!"

"Doctor, this man, I think he's hurt" Rory cut in, kneeling with Amy near a Nazi lying on the floor. "No, hang on… No he's fine…"

That man was a Teselecta, Melody remembered that.

Not knowing what to do with Mels' gun, the Doctor put it in a fruit basket on a desk.

All the room was decorated with dark wooden furniture in a ancient style, like in a castle.

Melody couldn't believe it: she was actually travelling with the Doctor, Amy and Rory! And Mels! She remembered this episode, it was "Let's kill Hitler". She had foreknowledge, she could help, ok, but at the moment, she didn't have the faintest idea of what to do.

She stepped near the Doctor as she heard a groan coming behind the desk. Another Nazi was getting up, and she knew who it was…

"Doctor…" she started.

"Oh, hello! Sorry, is this your office? Had a sort of collision with my vehicle, faults on both sides, let's say no more about…" he stopped talking, his voice fading when he recognized the person who was standing in front of him. Amy and Rory came closer. "...It."

"Is that…?" Amy started. "No it can't be Doctor?"

"Thank you." said the man with a little black moustache. " Whoever you are, I think you have just saved my life."

"Believe me… It was an accident." the Doctor said.

Turning to the TARDIS, Hitler - because it was him - asked:

"What is this thing?"

"What did he mean we saved his life? We could not have saved Hitler." Amy quickly said.

"You see? You see, time travel, it never goes to plan." the Doctor said, turning to Mels.

"It was not her fault Doctor, we're in the wrong year, Hitler nearly died before his hour. Technically, Mels just saved History." said Melody, low enough for Hitler not to hear it.

"What do you mean?" he asked her.

"This box…" Hitler spoke up. "What is it?"

The Doctor turned to face him, a dark look on his face.

"It's a police box from London, England. That's right, Adolf, the British are coming!"

Hitler's eyes widened as the Teselecta Nazi was getting up behind the Doctor.

"No, stop him!" he shouted before pulling out his gun.

The Doctor ducked as Hitler shot the robot four times before Rory punched him.

Of course nobody knew the man was a Teselecta robot yet except for Melody.

Rory took the gun from Hitler and pointed it at him.

"Sit still, shut up."

"Are you ok?" Amy asked, running to the robot.

"Yes" he answered. "I'm fine, I think he missed."

"He was going to kill me!" said Hitler, defending himself.

"Shut up!" Rory ordered.

Remembering what happened next, Melody ran to Mels, helping her stand while the Doctor told Rory to put Hitler in the cupboard. He then came near the Nazi, asking him if he was ok.

He just fainted in answer.

"I think he just fainted" Rory said.

"Yes… That was a faint… A perfect faint…" the Doctor mumbled.

Amy then noticed Melody supporting Mels who was holding her stomach.

"Mels?"

"Hitler…"

"What about him?" asked the Doctor.

"Lousy shot." Mels answered before falling. Melody helped her lying down while the others rushed to her.

"No no no!"

"I've got to stop the bleeding!" Rory said.

"How bad is it Rory? What can we do?" Amy asked.

"Just keep her conscious! Stay with us Mels!" the nurse said.

"Hey. Look at me, just hold on." the Doctor encouraged Mels.

"I used to dream about you." she said, fighting against the pain. "All those stories Amy told me. When I was little, I was going to marry you…"

"Good idea, let's get married. You live and I'll marry you, deal?" said the Doctor, hoping she will live.

Melody smiled. She knew that her dream would come true.

"Shouldn't you ask my parents permission? the black woman said in a chuckle.

"Soon as you're well, I'll get them on the phone."

"Might as well do it now, since they're both right here…"

They all looked at each other, a thought slowly making its way through their mind.

"Penny in the air…" she started as the Doctor realized. Her hands suddenly started glowing with a golden light. "Penny drops."

"What the hell's going on?" Rory asked.

"Back! Back! Get back!" the Doctor shouted. They all stepped back from Mels as she got up.

"Last time I did this I ended up a toddler. In the middle of New York." she said.

"Ok Doctor, explain what is happening? Please!" Amy said, a bit panicked to see her childhood friend regenerating just like the Doctor.

"Mels…" he started.

"Short for Melody." Melody said.

"Yeah I named my daughter after her." Amy said.

"You named your daughter… after your daughter." the Doctor said carefully.

"Took me years to find you two." Mels said to Amy and Rory. " I'm so glad I did. And you see, it all worked out in the end, didn't it? You got to raise me after all."

"You're Melody?" Amy said.

"But, if she's Melody, that means she's also…" Rory started.

"Shut up Dad!" Mels cut in. "I'm focussing on a dress size!"

Melody, behind the Doctor reached his ear and whispered:

"The gun…"

And suddenly golden rays of light soared from her hands and head. She screamed as she regenerated and soon it was over: River Song was 'born'.

She panted a little before observing her new body.

"The hair!" she exclaimed, running to a mirror. "The hair! It just doesn't stop, does it? Look at that! Everything changes! Oh but I love it. I love it! I'm all sort of...mature. Hello Benjamin!" she said placing a foot on a couch near her.

The Doctor awkwardly hid his eyes behind his hand before looking again, confused:

"Who's Benjamin?"

"The teeth! The teeth! Oh look at them!" River exclaimed before rushing to the Doctor, pinning him against the desk behind him. "Watch out that bow tie!" she turned around "Excuse me you lot, I need to weight myself!"

She ran out of the room like a hurricane leaving her parents and the Doctor incredulous. Melody giggled a bit, seeing their faces.

"That's Melody…" Amy said.

"See Amy, I told you that you'd see your daughter today." she said with a wink.

Amy nodded. If the Doctor trusted that girl then maybe she should do the same, she thought.

"That's… River Song…" Rory stammered.

Showing her head through the door frame, River asked, making all heads turn:

"Who's River Song?"

"Spoilers." awkwardly said the Doctor.

"Spoilers? What's spoilers?" she asked before gasping and running off again. "Hang on, just something I have to check!"

"Is anybody else finding this day just a bit difficult?" Rory said. "I'm getting a sort of banging in my head."

"Yeah I think that's Hitler in the cupboard." Amy said.

"That's not helping."

"This isn't the River Song we know yet." the Doctor cut in.

"No this is her right at the start, she doesn't even know her name." Melody spoke up, walking with them.

"Oh! That's magnificent!" they heard River exclaim. They turned around to see she had returned. "I'm going to wear a lot of jodhpurs! Well now enough of all that. Down to business!"

She pulled out a gun and pointed it at the Doctor.

Melody gasped. She remembered: the Doctor will die today. And he will suffer.

"Oh hello. I thought we were getting married." he said.

"I told you, I'm not a wedding person."

"What's she doing?" asked Rory as River was walking up to face the Time Lord.

"What she's programmed to…" said Melody with a trembling voice.

"But where did she get the gun?"

"Hello Benjamin…" he mumbled.

"You noticed." River said with a smile. She fired, but nothing happened.

"Of course I noticed, thanks to Melody here - thanks for the tip dear. As soon as I knew you were coming, I tidied up a bit."

"I know you did." She said dropping the gun and slipping a hand in her jacket to pull out another gun.

"I know you know" the Doctor said, smiling, watching her pulling out a banana.

"Goodness, is killing you going to take all day?"

"Why? Are you busy?" he asked, taking the banana.

"Oh, I'm not complaining!"

River took a knife to open letters on the desk from behind her and attacked, but Melody stepped in between her and the Doctor.

"Melody don't!" he shouted.

She ignored him.

The blade made a cut in her cheek as she tried to avoid it, but then she managed to grab River's hand and pressing her fingers on a nerve, she forced her to drop the knife before stepping back next to the Doctor.

"If you were in a hurry, you could have killed him in the cornfield." she said.

"We'd only just met!" River answered. "I'm a psychopath, I'm not rude."

As everybody turned around, she pointed the gun at him, but then again, nothing happened. The Doctor held out the ammo and blew it like it was a gun.

"You were not a psychopath!" Amy pleaded before asking the Doctor: "Why would she be a psychopath?"

"Oh Mummy, Mummy pay attention." she said as her and the Time Lord started to walk round each other. "I was trained and conditioned for one purpose. I was born to kill the Doctor."

"Demons Run, remember? This is what they were building." Melody said.

"My bespoke psychopath." the Doctor said, now facing River.

"I'm all yours, sweetie." she said, giving him a kiss.

Melody closed her eyes, sighing: that was it…

"Only River Song gets to call me that."

"And who's River Song?"

"An old friend of mine."

"Stupid name." River said, stepping away, heading for the window. "Oh look at that! Berlin on the eve of war. A whole world about to tear itself apart. Now that's my kind of town. Mum, Dad, don't follow me, and yes, that is a warning."

"No warning for me then?" the Doctor asked, smiling.

She turned around.

"No need my love. The deed is done, and so are you."

He made a step in her direction but he fell. Melody rushed to support him.

"Doctor!"

"River!" he called, holding a hand to his hearts. "What have you done?"

"Oh River, River, River! More than a friend I think. It was never going to be a gun for you, Doctor. The man of peace, who understands every kind of warfare, except, perhaps, the cruellest."

"She poisoned you, Doctor, when she kissed you." Melody said to him, hardly containing herself from the pain she felt for she knew what was going to happen.

"Kiss, kiss!" River said before jumping out of the window.

"I'm fine." the Doctor said to his companions. "Well, no, I'm dying. But I've got a plan."

"What plan?" Amy asked quickly, ready to help.

"I'm not dying. See, fine!" he said. Getting up he gave Amy his screwdriver. "Take this, the TARDIS can home in on it. Now go, get after her!"

"Amy, go with Rory I'm staying." Melody said.

"No Melody you go with them!" the Doctor told her, while struggling to head to the TARDIS.

"No! I'm not leaving you alone! I can help! There's no way you make me change my mind, I'm staying with you." she said. She supported the Doctor, both entering the TARDIS, coughing because of the smoke. "Extractor fans on!" she shouted.

The fans quickly cleared the air.

"Oh that works?" the Doctor said, impressed.

Melody led him to a seat near the console.

"I'm going to need an interface" he said. "Voice interface. Come on, emergency."

A hologram of him appeared: "Voice interface enabled."

"No no no, give me someone I like."

The hologram changed to show Rose.

"Oh thanks! Give me guilt!"

It changed to show Martha.

"Also guilt!"

It changed to show Donna.

"More guilt!" he exclaimed, in pain. "Come on, there must be someone left in the universe I haven't screwed up yet."

"Voice interface enabled." said Melody's voice.

Her and the Doctor looked up: the hologram was showing Melody on the Comic-Con day. She looked at him.

"Melody Williams… my sweet little Melody before you knew I exist."

"I'm not Melody Williams, I'm a voice interface."

Melody, still looking at the Doctor spoke up:

"Voice interface disabled." and she knelt near him. "I told you I could help, see." she said with a soft, but sad smile. "You have been contaminated by the poison of the Judas tree, you have only thirty two minutes left. There's no cure and it has disabled your regenerating system, I'm sorry Doctor…"

"Melody Williams… Please, help me…" he said before letting out a loud cry of pain. "I can be brave for you but you have got to tell me how… Melody… Please…"

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked into his eyes full of pain. She couldn't bear it, she couldn't

stand to see him in so much pain and she would do anything to help him. Before all this, whenever she felt sad she would look up and wish he existed, she would watch episodes because he was making her feel better. He helped her and now it was her turn to help him and she did not know what to do. Her Doctor, her best friend.

He raised a hand and wiped her tears away, his jaw clenched and his eyes suddenly lightened with a new flame.

"Crying over me eh? Well I'm never letting you get hurt again!" he said, crawling to the console, pulling down a lever. "Never again!"

Hope you liked it, let me know and see you next chapter! :)
