I woke up and found I was in a cage in what seemed to be a basement that was as big as a warehouse.  I tried to stand but fell back down, so I decided to look at my surroundings and saw more cages on what looked like tracks.  But Clara’s wasn’t on a track.
I also found to my surprise that I knew what each alien or monster was called.  There was a disarmed Dalek (that was literally disarmed), a Silence you could remember, a Weeping Angel in one way glass, a Slitheen in an inescapable room, and a Silurian in a glass cage.  I called to the Doctor hoping he would wake up, with no use I tried to stand up again, this time I could.  I started to walk around the cage.
I started thinking “Just if I had read the book from the secret book shelf, what was the book again, aw, now I remember Harry Houdini’s Journal.”  As I thought of that my second hart gave a thump.  “Woe that felt weird” I said in surprise.  Just then the Doctor sat up and shook all tiredness away, got up a little bit dizzy and walked over to me (as far as he could with the cages in the way).  “Are you alright, I know that sleeping darts aren’t nice, torchwood one these days you’re going to get it, just because I’m a Time Lord, I saved the planet for you lot” the Doctor said shacking his fist.  Then I remembered the words Time Lord and asked “What is Time Lord all I can come up with is Lord of Time, Keeper of Time, Man of Time, and King of Time, so what is a Time Lord.”  All of the monsters turned to the words Time Lord, except the Weeping Angel of course.
Then some peoples brought in a sontaron.  I then said “General Stog of the fifth sontaron fleet.”  The Doctor looked at me in amazement.  As I said that though, my second hart gave another two jumps.  I had passed out.  It was weird how my second hart kept trying to beat. It was like my body was trying to awaken some kind of secret identity that I haven’t used.
Then the guys that brought in the Sontaron came to see why I had passed out.  The Doctor called to them “please, my daughter may be sick and or dying.”  The men looked at him, and then open the door so the Doctor could get in my cage.  When the Doctor got in my cage, he put his hands on either side of my head (like you would when you’re about to kiss someone on the forehead) closed his eyes and concentrated.
I found myself in a huge room with a consul in the middle, and corridors leading all over the place.  Then I found the Doctor next to me.  The Doctor looked forward, and then the Doctor in sand shoes came in with a baby (I somehow knew he was the Doctor.  I also knew the baby was me.)  The other Doctor went down one of the corridors and came back with a cot.  The cot looked at least 945 years old.  I asked “Who dose the cot belong to.”
“The cot is mine.” I looked at the Doctor in amazement.  “Why do you look different completely than you do now, and how did I know.”  The Doctor answered slowly “I regenerated.  Also you’re getting your memory back, it’s about time.  It’s a good thing about a Time Lord is when they know deep down who they are, they remember things to remind you that you are a Time Lord.  But that means you are sick, dying, or both, this is bad.”
“I’m not sick or dying.  And I’m not a Time Lord.  I thought it was clear that I was human, humans don’t have two harts.”  Then the Doctor asked “How did you know, I didn’t tell you that Time Lords have two harts.”
“Well, um, before I passed out, I felt an extra beat.  But then the extra hart beat twice, and it shocked me so much that I was alien that I passed out. Also why did you just hide me?”
“Oh, I didn’t want my companion to know about you, she found you anyway because you started crying.  Oh, why am I explaining when you can watch your own memory of the thing I’m explaining?”  So we looked at my so called memories play out in front of us.
Then a woman entered the room, and I started crying just like the Doctor said.  Then she went down the corridor the Doctor put me in and came back with me, and put me in the Doctor’s arms, and I stopped crying.  The other Doctor said “Dona I can explain.”  Then she said back “How can you explain a baby in your Tardis!?”
“I found her outside the Tardis, there’s a note.”  Dona found the note lying on the consul, and then started to read:
Dear Doctor,
I’m sorry you had to learn that I was your wife and then die.  Please take care of Melody while I cannot.  You will learn more when Clara is around.
See You Soon Sweetie,
River Song
I then said to my Doctor “Wow that had quite a few incorruptions in it, bet you couldn’t get much out of it at the time.  Intel Clara came around right?”
“Well of course, I just met my wife I didn’t know what was going on at that point.  But when I met the first Clara I didn’t think much, then another one showed up, so I went looking for her.  Then not long ago I remembered the letter and went looking for you.”
“Dona actually helped me with time and orphanage.  I liked Dona, but I had to wipe her memory clean all about myself sadly.”  I looked at the Doctor confused and then the Doctor explained, “I lost a hand the day I regenerated… Dona touched the hand… Dona became Doctor Dona… A human’s mind can’t hold that much information… It’s a long story, I’ll tell you later.  You don’t have much time, you are dying, and I need to find out how.”
“What do you mean, I feel fine.”
“How long do you think it took you to get to Clara and me?”
“Well it took 5 minutes to get in the house, 10 minutes walking, then I hit my head on the beam listening to you, probably 10 more minutes, added all together 25 maybe 30 minutes”
“Well it was an hour after we herd you hit you head, so it was more like an hour 15 minutes.  Oh, that’s it, sorry if I’m sounding over excited, but you are a young Time Lord!  I should’ve seen it; a young Time Lord is more venerable to dying!”  So I asked sacredly “So now what is it we need to do?”
“Well, I’m going to disappear and then you should wake up in the cage you were in earlier, ok?”  I nodded.
