The room was full of sunlight. Amy Pond sat cross-legged on a well-worn blue rug, her long red hair tied back in a ponytail, her face soft and calm as she smiled.
Her daughter's hair was full of light, the soft curls so close to Amy's face she could smell the faint scent of baby shampoo. Melody looked up at her mother expectantly. Amy wrinkled her nose jokingly and opened the blue book.
"The prince was a wonderful being, his love so big that he needed two hearts just to hold it all," she read, her voice quiet in the nursery. "He made friends wherever he went, and he went everywhere on his quests. He was a different sort of prince, though. Instead of looking for treasure, he was looking to set wrongs right, to stop injustice."
"Like Batman?" Melody interrupted, looking up at her mother.
Amy smiled, thinking of what the Doctor would have to say about that. "Yeah, something like that," she said.
"Does he have sidekicks? Like Robin?"
"He has friends who help him out," Amy said slowly.
"Sound like sidekicks to me," Melody replied. "Wake up! Read more! Read more!"
Amy laughed a little, turning the page. "One day, the prince met a beautiful princess with lovely golden hair. She was the smartest girl he had ever met, and she seemed to know everything about him. And she saved them all from the monsters. She was the bravest, most wonderful princess he'd ever met."
"I'm the princess, right Mummy?" Melody piped up, her grin missing several teeth.
Amy closed the book, the blue book that was so old and so blue. "Well, Mel, I don't want to spoil it," she said teasingly. "But how many princesses do you know of?"
"Only one. Me!" Melody said, pointing her thumb proudly at herself. She jumped up. "But mummy, there's something wrong."
"What is that, my love?" Amy asked unconcernedly.
"I'm lost," Melody said.
Amy looked up at her, her eyes wide, her heart suddenly pounding. There was a sickening lump in her stomach. "What?" she asked slowly, her voice tight.
"Mummy, I'm lost. I miss you. Is the prince going to come and rescue me?" Melody said, her eyes wide with fear. She rocked back and forth.
A tear rolled down Amy's cheek. "We will find you, Mel. Mummy and Daddy and the prince are coming to find you. You know we love you very, very much."
Melody smiled. "I love you too, Mummy," she said. "But you're waking up."
Rory's voice cut through the nursery. "Amy, Amy, you're crying," he said, his tired voice full of worry and sadness.
Amy blinked, her eyes suddenly blurred, the room dark. Melody had faded from view. She could feel her husband's arms around her, and his face, worn and concerned, came into view.
She was laying in their bed on the TARDIS, curled up, tears rolling down her face, her eyes red and puffy. Rory had his arms around her. "Amy? Were you dreaming again? About…about her?" he asked, his voice cracking.
She looked up at him pleadingly. "I can't stand not knowing where she is, Rory," she sobbed. "I can't stand it!"
Rory held her close, his eyes looking so very, very old and very, very sad. "We'll find her," he said softly, stroking his wife's hair. "We'll find her."

A Small Rose
"What are you doing here? Why did you climb through the window? Does my mum know you're here? Cause if she does she'll kill you with her bare hands." The young Rose looked at the Doctor with her hand on her hips.
"Oh, no wonder you were so smart. Always asking questions," the Doctor mumbled busily as he scanned the room with his sonic screwdriver.
"And what's that thing?"
The Doctor switched off his screwdriver and turned to face the younger version of the girl he loved.
"I'm here because you are in terrible danger and if something goes wrong then time will mess up and the whole universe might go bang. I climbed though the window because

Hats Off!
River doesn't like the Doctor's hats. But maybe not for the reason you'd expect.
"River, why don't you like my hats?" the Doctor asked plaintively, clamping a hand firmly on the current one. Fortunately they were in the Tardis, so she couldn't shoot it off.
She gave him a slow-growing, thoroughly naughty grin. He knew that grin, his blood pumped a little faster, part in trepidation, part in fascination, he never knew what she was going to do.
She stepped closer, he watched her with leery eyes, but refrained from stepping back. She pressed herself right up against him, soft and strong. She gently pulled his resisting hand from his hat.
