The Girl of Colours (Book TWO)

Mixed Signals

Callie:

"Seriously?" Dad asked Amy, Rory, Luke and I as we got out of their tiny little mini, the bug not having been up for the massive crop circle reading Doctor that we'd had to make in the corn field in Leadworth. Don't ask why we were here, but Sky was currently with Sarah Jane. I'd had to use moms special computer thing to change a lot of people's memories to be able to live the same type of life, and keep my friends. 

Regeneration was funny. I felt like the same person, but suddenly I didn't like any of the same stuff. Also, I didn't need glasses any more. " Well, you never answer your phone." I told him, before wrapping my slightly longer arms around him, my clumpy heels helping me to reach. "What if you'd missed the wedding?" 2 months down, 4 to go to the wedding... 

"Okay, you've had all summer. Have you found her? Have you found Melody?" Amy asked as I pulled away, moving back to Luke who kissed my forehead before holding me close. He still loved me, though I was someone new, and one day, he would be too...

Dad glanced to Rory. "Permission?"

"Granted." Why?

He handed the paper to Luke and I before hugging Amy. "You know who she grows up to be, so you know I will find her."

"But you haven't yet." He never found me, did he? His past self found me before I was ever born in his time line. I'd been piecing things together, but there were still so many gaps.

"Hang on. What's this bit?" Luke asked with a frown, pointing to the line through the middle of the photo. "That wasn't us."

Then we looked to see another car coming for us through the corn, before everyone darted to the side besides me, and I just sent a shockwave of low sound to send the ground up into a barrier that the car had to brake to avoid crashing into. My voice was even more powerful now. A woman got out of the car, and just looked at dad.  "You said he was funny. You never said he was hot."

"Mels!" Rory cried, knowing the woman as I helped Luke to his feet, dusting the corn off him.

"What are you doing here?"

The pretty girl just shrugged, her braids over one shoulder. "Following you. What do you think?"

I stared at the car, knowing that I'd seen it before. "Er, where did you get the car?"

"It's mine." And the Police sirens? "Ish."

Amelia groaned. "Oh, Mels, not again."

"You can't keep doing this. You're going to end up in prison."

"Sorry. Hello. Doctor not following this. Doctor very lost." Dad interjected. "You never said I was hot?" Because that was really what we were getting at dear father.

Mels stared at the TARDIS then, bright, bold, beautiful blue. "Is that the phone box? The bigger on the inside phone box? Oh, time travel. That's just brilliant. Yeah, I've heard a lot about you, and your kid. I'm their best mate."

Dad folded his arms. "Then why don't I know you? I danced with everyone at the wedding. The women were all brilliant. The men were a bit shy." Because they weren't used to a mad man wanting to dance with then?

"I don't do weddings." The girl replied, before looking back, the red and blue swirls of the sirens getting closer. "And that's me out of time." So she pulled a gun on dad. "I need out of here, now."

"Anywhere in particular?" I asked, wanting to see where this was going. I was curious as a redhead, and we certainly had a lot more fun.

She smiled at me, the gun still on dad. "Well, let's see. You've got a time machine and a sonic voice box, I've got a gun. What the hell. Let's kill Hitler." OK, sounds good.
