Rory is driving through a corn field very fast. Amy is navigating by tulip symbols.

"Ok, left. Sharp turn! Ok, right. No, no, no, I mean left. No, sorry, right, right. I definitely meant right. Now loop the loop" more corn gets crushed beneath the tyres "stop! Stop!" and there, in the middle of the crop circle they have just made, is the TARDIS. The Doctor and I come out, the Doctor is holding a copy of the Leadworth Chronicle with the headline Leadworth's Crop Circle, I look over his shoulder and laugh.

"Seriously?" the Doctor asks, they have made the word Doctor in the field.

"Well, you two never answer your phone" Rory replies.

"Ok, you've had all summer. Have you found her? Have you found Melody?" Amy asks, I stop laughing and look at Rory.

"Permission?" I ask.

"Granted" Rory replies as Amy and I hug.

"You know who she grows up to be, so you know we will find her" I say.

"But you haven't yet" Amy replies pulling away.

"Hang on. What's this bit?" Rory is also looking at the newspaper, me and Amy walk over, we all look at the newspaper, there is a line through the middle of their crop design in the photograph.

"That wasn't us" I snatch the newspaper from the Doctor and walk off, the Doctor, Amy and Rory follow me, I start muttering things under my breath, I stop and bring down the newspaper to see that another car is driving towards us through the corn.

"Argh!" We all shout, ducking out of the way, the Chevrolet Corvette skids to a halt by the TARDIS. A young woman gets out and looks at the Doctor then at me.

"You said they were funny. You never said she was hot" the woman says.

"Mels!" Rory shouts.

"What are you doing here?" Amy asks.

"Following you. What do you think?"

"Er, where did you get the car?" Rory asks, there are police sirens in the distance.

"It's mine. Ish."

"Oh, Mels, not again," Amy says.

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

"Sorry. Hello. Doctor not following this. Doctor very lost" the Doctor says.

"You never said I was hot?" I ask.

"Is that the phone box? The bigger on the inside phone box? Oh, time travel. That's just brilliant" Mels says, I walk over to her "yeah, I've heard a lot about you two. I'm their best mate."

"Then why don't we know you? I danced with everyone at the wedding. The women were all brilliant. The men were a bit shy" the Doctor says.

"I don't do weddings" the sirens get closer.

"And that's me out of time" Mels pulls a gun on the Doctor and me.

"Mels!" Amy says.

"For God's sake!" Rory shouts.

"What are you doing?" Amy asks.

"I need out of here, now" a helicopter is coming, too.

"Anywhere in particular?" I ask.

"Well, let's see. You've both got a time machine, I've got a gun. What the hell. Let's kill Hitler" the Doctor and I look at each other.
