A/N
Hello Readers! Welcome back to my story! I know it's late and I feel horrible about it, but I stayed up and worked on this, (when I probably should have been doing Maths...) I refused for this update to be any later! I tried to publish these two chapters all as one but I think it was too big as it wouldn't let me... So it's two chapters this week!
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, only my oc's and plot/ideas.
I really hope you enjoy this one!

Amy Toby and Rory were all sitting in a corner waiting for the Doctor to come back, while Lucy stood of to one side. She couldn't help but feel like she was forgetting something important. She reached up are rubbed her her temples and squeezed her eyes shut as she tried to think. Suddenly, someone started pounding at the door, giving everyone a fright.
"Lucy! Amy!" the Doctor's voice boomed from the other side of the door, "Open the door!"
Amy hurried to the door at the Doctor's tone just as the Captain shouted, "Toby!"
Lucy's head shot up in realisation, "Toby!" Lucy gasped as she looked over at him and saw the siren medallion hanging from his hands. Lucy ran over and snatched the medallion out of his hands while the Doctor and the Captain continued to yell. She had just managed to wrap up the pendant as the Doctor and the Captain came barging in.
The Doctor ran over to her when he saw that she had the medallion and checked it was all covered by the rag it was wrapped in. He sighed in relief and gave a thumbs up to the captain, who immediately relaxed at the sign.
Thought the moment of relief didn't last long before the Doctor dashed back out of the room in a hurry, followed closely by the Captain and Lucy. They ran into the Captain's quarters and the Doctor started smashing all the windows with a rifle he had found.
"We've got to destroy every reflection!" the doctor yelled over the sound of glass smashing while Lucy and the Captain stood by the door, "Gold, silver, glass. She could spring from any of them!" he exclaimed.
Lucy picked up a paper weight from the Captain's desk and smashed the mirror hanging the wall just as the Doctor finished with the windows and turned. He smiled at her and gave her a wink before turning to look at the captain, who was staring at the broken mirror shards on the floor.
"Yes yes I know, very bad luck to break it," The Doctor said as he put the rifled down, "but look at it this way. There's a stroppy homicidal mermaid trying to kill all," he finished with a clap of his hands.
Lucy gave the Doctor a small smile before she looked down as she twiddled with her fingers.
The Captain sighed, "How much worse can things get?"
"Yup," the Doctor replied as he clapped his hands together, before he finished as he crouched down, "Now help me lug this lot out,"
Lucy and The Captain crouched down as well to help scoop up some of the treasure before the Captain asked, "Where are we taking it?"
"The ocean," the Doctor replied matter of factly as he continued to scoop treasure into his arms.
"No!" The Captain exclaimed, making Lucy jump slightly, "No. This is the treasure of the mogul of India." he finished quietly.
The Doctor looked up at him and said sarcastically, "Oh good, for a moment there I thought it was yours," before he continued to gather treasure into his arms.
Lucy rolled her eyes as the Captain gripped the Doctor's arm and said, "Doctor, wait! Must we do this?"
The Doctor threw down the treasure in frustration before he turned to the Captain and said seriously, "Any reflection, any mirror, and the siren will attack," the Captain looked down in defeat before it shot back up again when the Doctor finished, "We have to protect Rory and Toby,"
"Go and get the crown from the storeroom," the Doctor said as he nodded his head at the door.
The Captain sighed and left the room.
The Doctor watched him leave before he turned to Lucy and sighed, "Lucy, why won't you talk to me?" Lucy glanced over at him and bit her lip before he asked "I know probably still think this is a dream, but that doesn't mean you can't talk to me,"
Lucy looked down before taking a shaky breath and saying, "Because I'm not used to you seeing me,"
The Doctor looked at her in confusion before she continued slowly, "You don't normally see me in these dreams. It's like I'm an extra in a movie. I'm in it but I don't have any lines and I can't talk to the main actors,"
The Doctor looked at her sadly before he placed a hand on her fidgeting ones and said softly, "Well, I can see you now,"
Lucy smiled a little at that and the Doctor beamed as he got up and said, "Well, how about you help me get all this out of here,"
Lucy gave a light smile and nodded before she stood up with an arm full of treasure and walked over to the now broken bank of windows. She started dropping bits into the ocean before the Doctor came up beside her and started disposing of the treasure as well.
Lucy glanced over at the Doctor as they dropped things into the ocean, and started to wonder if this actually was a dream.
...
"Just wait?" Rory asked annoyed as they all stood back in the magazine.
"Not my most dynamic plan I realise," the Doctor said hesitantly as he stood beside Lucy.
"Tardis," Amy said as if stating the obvious.
The Doctor winced as he said slowly, "It's been towed,"
Amy glared at the Doctor, "What?"
"Sorry," the Doctor said, "We might be stuck here for a while," he finished with an apologetic smile.
"What, so you're saying we should just wait here below?" Rory asked incredulously.
"The sea is still calm, like a mirror," the Captain added, "If you go out on deck she will rise up and attack you,"
"Okay," the Doctor said slowly, before adding. "It won't be calm forever, when the wind picks up we'll all set sail!"
"Until it does, you all have to hide down here," the captain finished.
Amy and Rory sighed in annoyance while Lucy just looked on at them sadly. She knew everything turned out fine in the end, but she could her but be nervous about the events of the episode. She took a deep breath and steeled herself. Even if this was a dream she didn't want to disrupt the timeline by letting the Doctor know that something was wrong.
…
Amy and Rory had fallen asleep on the floor while Toby sat leaning against the wall and looking down at his lap. Lucy looked at him sadly from her place across the room and watched as the Captain went and sat next to him. They were talking in hushed voices, so as to not wake to Ponds. After a while the Captain got up and left with a storm expression to go up on deck with the Doctor.
Lucy sighed as she shook her head softly. He really should have at least sent a letter to Toby and his mother, to let them know he was alright.
She was drawn out of her thoughts by Amy as she sat up quickly and stared in fright at the wall. She looked over at Lucy and crawled over to her.
"Did you see that?" Amy whispered as she gestured over to the wall.
"No, sorry I didn't," Lucy said as she started to fiddle with her fingers. She knew what amy had seen but she didn't think it would be a good idea to say anything.
Amy shook her head lightly before she got up and walked out of the room.
Lucy thought back to what had happened in her dream. First she was with ten and Martha in season 3, and now she's with 11 and Amy and Rory in season 6. She'd never had a dream about Doctor Who that had more that 1 episode in it, let alone jumped around the seasons. And she was actually able to interact with the people in her dream. Normally she was just a bystander, unable to speak to or touch anyone. This one was also a whole lot more realistic than the other ones. She even felt cold. Lucy started to wonder again if this was in fact a dream. It seemed impossible, but could it actually be real?
She shook her head at the thought.
Just as she did so, the odd, sore feeling returned to her chest. Lucy frowned and rubbed her chest. It had happened a couple of times now, but something had always distracted her and it would go away. But now that she had a moment to herself, Lucy focused more on the feeling. It kind of felt like a deep thumping in her chest. Like when you can feel your pulse in your head, but it was on the right side of her chest. It almost felt like…
"Man the sails!"
She was broken from her train of thought by the Doctor yelling as it started to rain. Lucy got up and ran for the deck, and was soon joined by Rory and Toby.
The rain fell in sleets as they struggled to stay standing from the wind.
"To the rigging you dog!. Let go the sail! Avast ye!" the Captain yelled at them from where he was clinging to the rigging.
"Put the banding at the second the clews!" he yelled as he jumped down and grabbed some rope that was sitting on the deck.
Amy, Rory and Lucy ran over to the rigging and started of pull on some rope to try and loosen the sail while the Doctor ran for the wheel to try and steer the ship.
"I swear he's making half this stuff up!" Amy yelled through the wind as she pulled on a rope.
"Well we're going to need some kind of raised boom!" Rory yelled as he was buffeted by the wind.
"Toby! Find my coat!" the Captain yelled at Toby, "My compass is inside it boy!"
Toby went to go and look for the coat while the Captain yelled again at the three working on the rigging, "Heave ho you bilge rats!"
"Rats was all I could hear!" Rory yelled over the wind and the Captain.
Lucy was starting to get tired from fighting the wind and pulling on ropes when Toby came up from below with the Captain's coat in his arms. He tripped over the long coat in his arms and as he did so, something fell out and made a noise as it hit the deck. Everyone paused as they watched a golden crown rolling away and hitting the side of the ship with a clang.
Toby looked back at his Father in disbelief while the Captain hung his head in shame.
Suddenly, a green light appeared as the siren started singing. It sprang out from the reflection of the crown and floated down the look at Toby.
"Don't let her take you!" the Captain pleaded as Toby, entranced, walked towards the siren whose hand was outstretched. He reached out his hand and before anyone could make a move towards him, Toby touched the siren and disappeared with a scream.
"No!" the Captain yelled as he ran forward to where Toby had just been.
"Get off!" Rory yelled as Amy and Lucy held him back from the siren. The Doctor ran forward and chucked the crown into the ocean, and the siren disappeared as soon as it him the water.
The Captain fell to his knees as he wept for his son, and Rory shook the girls off and stumbled over to the back of the boat.
"You couldn't give up the gold, could you?" The Doctor asked as he yelled over the wind, "That's why you turned pirate! Your commission! Your wife, your son! Just how much is that treasure worth to you!"
"Rory!" Amy yelled as the sail flung around and pushed Rory off the ship and into the water.
Amy ran for to the side of the ship and was followed by Lucy.
"I can't see him!" She yelled, "Doctor, Lucy! I'm going in!"
"No!" Lucy shouted as Amy began to take off her coat. Lucy grabbed her and held her back from the side of the ship as Amy started struggling against her.
The Doctor ran up and helped pull Amy away from the side more and said, "He's downing! You go in after him and you'll drown too! There's only one thing that can save him now!"
"What are you talking about!" Amy demanded as she kept struggling against and Doctor and Lucy.
"The siren! She wants him! We have to release her" he said as he ran back to the middle of the deck, leaving Amy with Lucy.
"Doctor no!" Amy screamed as she tried to grab him but Lucy held her back.
"He knows what he's doing!" Lucy yelled to Amy to try and calm her as best she could.
The Doctor reached a barrel and pulled the lid off it revealing that it was full of water.
"No!" Amy yelled as the siren burst out of it. It hug in mid air above them seeming to be looking for Rory.
"He's drowning!" the Doctor yelled to the siren, "Go find him!"
The siren dove into the water and Lucy finally released Amy. The girl ran over to the Doctor and yelled, "What did you do!"
"If he stays in there he'll drown!"
"She'll destroy him!" Amy yelled in fury.
"That thing isn't just a ravenous hunter," the doctor explained as they all huddled around the water barrel, "It's intelligent, we can reason with it and maybe, just maybe, they're still alive somewhere! We have to follow!"
"Are you mad?" the Captain asked.
"If we ever want to see them again, we have to let the siren take us," The Doctor pleaded.
"Trust him!" Lucy yelled over the wind, when she saw the others weren't listening.
"We'll prick our fingers. All agreed?" the doctor asked as he pulled a needle out of his jacket pocket.
He looked at the captain expectantly, who after a moment's hesitation, said, "Aye!"
He turned to Amy who then repeated, "Aye!"
He finally turned to Lucy who nodded and answered, "Aye!"
The Doctor then grabbed everyone's hands respectively and pricked their fingers with the needle. When he got to Lucy though, he gently held her hand in his and whispered, "Sorry," so quiet that she almost didn't hear it. He quickly pricked her finger and then his own.
The black spot appeared on everyone's palms and a green glow appeared almost immediately. The siren sprang up in front of them and started singing her song. It was hypnotic. Before she even knew what she was doing, Lucy was leaning over the barrel and reaching out for the siren as the others did the same.
