The ever lasting tunnels of the TARDIS corridors seemed to amuse her to no end, if her giggles that echoed around in his head each time they turned into yet another corridor where anything to go by. "This must be the biggest ship in the universe!"she'd exclaimed and, unable to help himself, he reached over to gently press his finger into her small nose. She didn't flinch away from him this time, and he was unsure how to feel about that. Selfish or selfless.

He had no doubt about what she was thinking as they stepped out of the front doors. She'd turned at his side, her hand twisting in his where he was still clasping it, to get a good look at his ship. He'd chuckled softly as her eyes widened.

"No Way!"

He'd seen it all before - the way his friends ran around the back of the small blue box, trailed hands across the wood, with faces of shock or amusement or, even once, fear. But she'd always know about the TARDIS' transdimensional properties and her stunned look eased the pain in his chest slightly. Not completely, the nag still remained until he feared it would never leave him.

"It's…" She turned to face him, eyes agleam, a large smile spread across her face as if no bad had ever happened in the universe. Well, he supposed it hadn't for her. Oh how he envied her.

"Bigger on the inside?" He offered with a giggle, completing her unfinished sentence for her. Not that she was incapable that was, just that he took delight in knowing what she would say before she did. Not that it was hard.

"No." His grin fell of his face "It's – She's beautiful."

His eyes opened slightly as he scolded his space ship in his mind. What did you tell her? He only received a defensive hum in return.

"Because all vehicles are female, right? I think that's right. I remember it from somewhere." Her eyes rose to his. "Is it possible for me to get my memory back?"

"Probably." He dismissed it with a wave of his hand quickly as he walked around the back of the TARDIS, attempting not to over think his problem. It didn't work.

"Do you know anything about me?" She asked, popping her head around the wood behind him. "Personally, I mean."

"Nope." He lied. Yes. "Never met you before in my life."

"And what, already sneaking me into you bigger on the inside spaceship? Someone's hopeful Sweetie." She was still teasing, still his River somewhere under all that hair. He smiled internally, despite the blush on the outside.

"I was… am… I wouldn't… I was helping!" He spluttered quickly, his cheeks scarlet. If his River could see him, she'd be rather disappointed. Haven't you known me long enough, Doctor Dear?

"I know." She laughed, skipping away to plop herself in the chair in the room. Her chair. "So where are we going? What do we do?"

"We look." He pulled his screwdriver out of his pocket as he turned to her. "This is my – OI! Get off there!"

"What!" She shrieked, jumping up and away from the chair and towards him with the panicked look back on her face as she grabbed his arm. "What is it?"

"Look." He pointed at the broken cuffs with the screwdriver. "Broken metal. Very dangerous." She promptly stole his sonic screwdriver.

"What's this?" She asked, twisting it in her hands. This River was very easily distracted. And very grabby.

"Oi!" He reached for the instrument in her delicate hands, only connecting with thin air as she snatched it back, dangerously close to… places. "That's mine!"

"What is it?"
"Mine!"

"What. Is. It?" She growled in his face and when had she come so close? Not in any timeline he remembered. She looked angry. Angry and pretty and so very much like his River, like the woman he remembered. Like the woman who remembered him. Like the woman who loved him. "Doctor!"

"A sonic screwdriver." He admitted finally, taking one, two, three steps away from her. "It's very useful."

"For what?"
"Lots of things. And it is very complicated and confusing and I'd thank you to recognize the fact that it is also mine and give it back right this instant," He paused for a second before forcing out in the same irritated tone "Melody Williams."

She stuck her bottom lip out at him as she pushed it back into his hands muttering "Stupid thing anyway. Who needs a screwdriver that's sonic? What's it used for anyway, putting up shelves?" He chuckled under his breath. She was still as predictable as ever.

She knelt in front of the chair like a religious person would in prayer as brushed her finger carefully over the broken metal. "This has been forced." She told him "Something was pushed up through the metal and ripped it in half." She sat back down in the chair and set her arm between the two shards of metal. "Had to be an arm. Someone tore through this. So said someone has to be very strong. And probably dangerous if they had to be held this way. But…" She stood up and faced him "Can that do-hicky of yours bend metal? " She asked cocking her head.

"Screwdriver." He muttered handing it back to her swiftly, eager to hear her deduction. She set to work quickly, automatically knowing how to work his sonic, like she'd never forgotten how. When she handed it back the two ends on the shards met like they were supposed to, like they had before she pulled them apart.

"They'd have to be very small." She noted, glancing at the gap. "Small and strong are a bad combination, not very easy to spot. I doubt I'd even manage to fit my…" She trailed off, glancing down at her own wrist. "Actually… Doctor, come over here. Do you think that…?"

BANG.

The door flew open.

"Put your hands up and stay where I can see you!"

I'm not to happy with this but I at least owe you few readers something. I had this finished on Friday but people wouldn't leave me alone for fine minutes! I'm also aware that not very many people like the last chapter and I hope this one is more to your pleasing. It's very short and kinda just a filler and it took a Loooong time to get this up and I am very sorry!

Please enjoy! xx
