Quantum Travel

Let's Kill Hitler II

Lia and I know to get back, I had warned her of this when I first met her of course.

"How bad is it? Rory, what can we do?" I walk over to the couch and remove the bullets from the handgun.

"Just keep her conscious. Stay with us, Mels."

"Hey, look at me. Just hold on."

"I used to dream about you. All those stories Amy used to tell me." Her voice was breaking. God, Melody will always be over dramatic.

"What stories? Tell me what stories." He was trying to distract her, "Vampires in Venice. That's a belter."

"When I was little, I was going to marry you." Hold on, what?

"Good idea, let's get married. You stay alive and I'll marry you, deal? Deal?" That better be just because she is dying. Her girlfriend and yours is right here.

Now isn't the time to get jealous, but I just can't help it.

"Shouldn't you ask my parents permission?" This was the big build up? The big reveal?

"As soon as you're well, I'll get on the phone."

"Might as well do it now, since they're both right here. Penny in the air." Hey, I'm the one that taught her that when she was little. "Penny drops."

Melody's hands glow and the Doctor stands and begins to back up.

Rory was confused, the Doctor urges them to get back. Amy doesn't want to leave her daughters side though.

"Last time I did this, I ended up a toddler in the middle of New York." She looked to me, "Right after you left me."

"I never left you Melody. I just had to watch from a distance."

"Okay, Doctor, explain what is happening, please."

"Mels. Short for-"

"Melody." I had just said that.

"Yeah. I named my daughter after her."

"You named your daughter after your daughter." Talk about a twisted timeline/paradox.

"It took me years to find you two. I'm so glad I did. And you see? It all worked out in the end, didn't it. You got to raise me after all."

"You're Melody?" God, and I thought you were already caught up Amy.

"But if she's Melody, that means that she's also-" Spoilers.

"Shut up, Dad. I'm focusing on a dress size." And Mels transforms into River.

She begins to breathe heavily, when I tackle her into a hug. "Whoa!" I release her to let her look in the mirror, she does exactly what I always do when I regenerate, "Right, let's see, then. Ooo, it's all going on down there, isn't it? The hair! Oh, the hair. It just doesn't stop, does it? Look at that. Everything changes. Oh, but I love it. I love it! I'm all sort of mature."

She strikes a Mrs Robinson pose, "Hello, Benjamin."

"Who's Benjamin?"

"The teeth. The teeth, the teeth! Oh, look at them." She rushed for the Doctor and pins him against the Desk. Lia drops her image for a minute since no one was paying attention.

"Watch out that bow tie." Lia felt disheartened, "Excuse me, you lot. I need to weigh myself."

She runs off into a side room. And everyone sinks on the desk in shock.

I dance around and laugh playfully.

"That's Melody."

"That's River Song."
