Hello. It's anybody still out here? If there is I'm sorry for not uploading earlier but life happened and well I don't have better excuse than that. If there isn't well I don't blame you I would also give up on starting author with story with average plot who doesn't update for month (!I have no idea when that month passed!) But I promised myself I will complete it so here I am. This one is for YOU, if you are willing to give me and this work our second chance. So enjoy and whoever you are have a great day.

Scream. River still couldn't forget about it. After most of her life as a Silence puppet even a simple scream could made her sleepless. There just wasn't explanation for that. She obviously couldn't ask Doctor. One of the Headless Monks might have answer but she couldn't contact them now. Not until TARDIS opened herself. Unless… Dorium was once connected with ship so maybe his trace will be strong enough to feel his memories. Living inside computer gave her advantage in situations like that. TARDIS always liked her and now she could almost talk with her matrix. She focused hard… and nothing. Trace was too weak. She has to wait. She couldn't blame Doctor without telling him first so she decided to take in on the ship.

- Oh you bloody old box! You are a ship! You can't just kidnap me and give me no answers!

That's when she heard TARDIS landing – with breaks on. And her screams were answered with delicate cares of the ship that felt almost like she was saying 'Don't worry. It all will be answered when the time comes.' She ran to the control room. Doctor was already fumbling along consol.

-Where are we?
- On Rorre.
-No we are not. No. Check again. We are certainly not. We can't be here. It's locked time. It's against the rules. And besides this place doesn't exist.
-Well it used to. You know, it had to, to have a name. I'm not sure if we are not a paradox here…
-Of course we are! You can't be here. I'm not allowed to exist in dimension like this.
-So will you explain why exactly we are here and why the door just opened?
-Why should I know? It's your circus!
-Why should I know? – he mocked her. – And even if I do know, I could be wrong… right?
- Oh, stop sulking. What was that?

Quiet voice ran through TARDIS.

-Good morning. It's TARDIS right? I'm looking for a Doctor. I need his help. I lost somebody…

There was a child standing across from them. Doctor was first to get over his surprise. He asked briskly?!

-Who are you? And how did you get in there?
- I'm Sophie. Aged four. I came by door. Are you the Doctor?

-Yes, he is. – woman answered when she get her voice back.- But you shouldn't seek for him all alone. Where are your parents?
-That's why I came. It's complicated. My mum disappeared. Literally.

She turned her head to the side and looked at River intensely.
-Excuse me… but have we met before? You look really familiar. Like I've already seen you.

The Doctor was first to answer.

-Maybe it was on some "wanted dead or alive" poster or something like that.
-Oh That's just pure slander and besides I've never been here in life. My fame even as big as it is doesn't reach that far. I'd have heard about it. I keep tabs on all glorious stories about my adventures.
- No it's not about her looks. It's… She's kind like River but that's impossible.
-Like who?! – both of them asked at once in disbelieve.
-Yeah. That's when things get complicated. I don't know who River is. I mean, I know. Sort of. I'm not sure where I should start.
- At the beginning would be just fine with me. – Doctor said.

The War has started. I don't remember it. I was very little. My father wasn't a warrior. Simple citizen. But when army was out of soldiers every man had to fight. Mother used to say he shouldn't be chosen. He was sick. Too slow, too weak. He died three days after joining the army, but not during fight. He was stabbed in his back when he was asleep. Nobody knew why.
After that my mother always was quiet. We moved to my grandmas' place. She took care of me. Mother only looked at the sea. She had those big grey eyes but sometimes I thought they couldn't see. They were hollow. Some time ago grandma passed away. She looks after me from above. Once I missed her so much that I wished upon a stars to send me somebody who will love me like she did. Then something strange happened to mother. She was burning up. She screamed over and over again for somebody to leave her. Just leave. And then one day she stopped. When I woke up next day she seemed fine but for a moment I thought she doesn't recognize me. After that she started to tell me fairytales and make pancakes with blueberries and we would go to long walks and she was telling me about stars and adventures and Doctor. A madman in a blue box. A hero. She didn't behave like old mother and her eyes weren't empty anymore. That woman looked like my mother but she wasn't her. I think she knew I knew because after a while she told me to call her River if that would be easier. Truth to be told it didn't matter to me. We were happy. We have each other and that was enough. But one day she disappeared. Melted into thin air. She was standing in a kitchen and a light started to come out of her and it became brighter and brighter and I couldn't look at it. And then she just wasn't there anymore. I tried to find her but she never came back. I screamed but nobody was there to hear. I can't find her on my own. So I begged the stars to send me a Doctor. And here you are.

-Will you help me?
-Of course, but first you must show me where she disappeared . Lead the way and we will follow in a minute.

When Sophie walked outside the ship Doctor grabbed his wife hand and started:
-So…
-No. I've never been her in my life and I don't know that child and I never disappeared from any kitchen before.
-Well I was going to say that I never saw you as pancakes type but I appreciate that you feel a need a explain yourself to me
-Oh shut up.
-Make me.
