Hello! How are you all?
Thank you to MidnightFedora, OtakuWhovian1224 (thanks for the review!), MadGirlWithAMask and Bookgeek890 for the faves and follows!
So today's chapter will be short as it will be a "Meanwhile in the TARDIS"-like chapter (sorry not sorry) I hope you will like it. Just a little pause before the next episode rewriting. But you won't have to wait very long until the next one ;).
Enjoy!

Chapter 10
The TARDIS was drifting through space. The doors opened, Melody was sitting there, watching the whole of space. She was alone, nobody was in the console room, no noise, just the soft and regular humming of the TARDIS.
Well she thought she was alone. Somebody came and sat next to her.
"How are you?" Amy asked.
"I'm ok…" she answered. "For someone that just found out that she was kind of alien and all her life until then was a lie, and watched her friend - that was a fictional character until then - die, that is."
The Pond let out a soft chuckle and they smiled at each other.
"I'm sorry for me being a bit rude when we met. I didn't know and…you were looking so much like me."
"It's ok Amy. You had just lost your daughter, and I know how disturbing our look-a-like is. Plus you're Scottish!" Melody said, with a laugh.
After a moment of quiet silence, Amy spoke up again.
"The Doctor… seems to like you a lot. I mean, you look very… attached to each other."
"I know him more than he knows me. As he said, in my world, you only exist as a TV show, a TV show I've been watching since I was a little girl. I know what he has been through and what he will have to go through… And it breaks my heart, because I can't change these things." she said, her voice cracking.
Amy wrapped her arm around her shoulders and hugged her.
"It's ok… It's how it works… And he trusts you. For the first time, he trusts someone more than himself."
"Oh I don't think so…"
"No but really. His life is in your hands, Melody. He trusts you so much, that he lets you decide what to change or not to change in his life. In the whole universe!"
Melody looked at the stars. She couldn't understand why he seemed to be so attached to her. She thought he was like this with everyone. Maybe it was because she was a mystery to him. Or because she looked like Amy and could have been River.
Amy smiled and got up, walking to her room.
Later, as a lone shadow was near her, Melody did the same: she got up and walking to the console, touched it lightly with her fingertips. The humming sound went a bit louder, making her smile. The TARDIS seemed to like her. She stretched a hand and rested it on the glass column.
A feeling of softness slipped into her mind, possessing her whole body, running in each of her cells. Golden lights were flying around like fireflies as a halo was wrapping her hand. Melody smiled in awe at the lights flying around, not paying attention to the rest.
Soon, the lights faded, leaving the girl looking around, not understanding what happened, but finding it really beautiful. She looked back at the glass column.
"TARDIS? Will you guide me to my room please? I haven't memorised yet…" she said. She had been to her room only once. The time machine answered with a humming before a little golden light flying around just like previously appeared in front of her and started to head towards a corridor. The girl followed the TARDIS' materialized soul until she stopped in front of a blue door.
"That's not my room." Melody said, frowning a bit. The time machine being psychic, she could feel the TARDIS assuring her that it was her room. "But it's different from the last time…"
As Melody was putting her hand on the door knob, golden circles appeared on the door but she didn't notice them, too close to see. The door opened and she stepped in, the golden light following her: the room was all warm white with golden and blue touches. A white big bed, a white and golden fluffy carpet and TARDIS blue framed mirror, bed lamps and circles on one wall.
She turned to the flying light.
"This is not my room, mine was with a bunker bed…" she said before looking at the circles on the wall. "It's Gallifreyan…" she whispered. She couldn't read them, but she seemed mesmerized by them.
"It's a psychic wall." a voice spoke up behind her, making her jump in surprise and turn around. The Doctor was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed. "The Gallifreyan writings will change often, depends on what's in your head." he continued, stepping closer to her. "This is your room Melody. The TARDIS was still building it but now it's finished."
The girl nodded in answer.
"Thank you my dear." she said to the light before it disappeared. "What is written?" she then asked, looking at the wall.
The Doctor gave her a smile before kissing her forehead and leaving the room.
Hope you liked it, let me know :)
