River woke to the sound, the sound that signified everything wondrous and beautiful. She hopped out of bed and went over to the window. There it was the flashing lights. The TARDIS was materializing in her back yard. "Finally." She whispered to the air.

She turned from the window then ran out of her room. Down the hall she quietly peeked into another room. Ok stills sleeping, she thought, and then ran downstairs and out the back door. The beautiful blue box stood there humming. As River approached it the door swung open. River entered and went up the stairs.

She tenderly stroked the console as she said "Where is he?" The TARDIS hummed and someone groaned. River walked over to the other set of stairs and there in the entrance to the hall way laid The Doctor. River gasped as she ran over to him. His eyes were closed and his face was contorted in pain.

"My love?" She said softly as she put a hand on his face. His eyes flew open startling her. "River, what are you doing here? AH! I-I thought you had faded." He said in pain. River smiled sweetly as she said "Oh sweetie, you still don't know do you?"

His brows furrowed and his body tensed. "Know what?" he asked as his face and hands started to glow. "Hush now my love; we will talk in a bit." River said soothingly as she backed up. Soon he would have a brand new face with a different sort of personality, but it would still be her Doctor and she will love him no matter what
