Hello! This is my first story and I wrote it before I got my account so this is the complete story. I may have used some quotes from the series, but...nothing. I just did.

I don't own Doctor Who. Although I wish I did. :P

This chapter is a bit slow, but the later chapters are VERY STRESSFUL. I know because I gave to to my friend to read at school and she was panicking because I left it at a cliffhanger. I won't be so cruel to you kind readers. :3


River sat on her bed in her cell, reading through her diary, often grinning and remembering past adventures. As she was flicking through the pages, she was disturbed by a man outside her cell, one of the guards. "Doctor Song," he began firmly, "A letter." She put down her diary and looked up, curious. She stood up and took the letter from him. It was in a crimson red envelope, and had small flowers embossed into the paper. She carefully opened the letter. She opened it up and read:

Dear Dr. Song,

I would be delighted if you could join me for dinner

at the Nebula Starship Restaurant & Bar

on the 19th Of June, 3409.

I'll pick you up, be ready to leave…quickly!

Love, yours truly

-The Doctor xx

She smiled wide, she had missed the Doctor, she hadn't seen him for ages. It was also a great excuse to get out of the Stormcage for a while. She folded up the letter, sliding it into the envelope. "Thank you." She said, turning to look at the guard. He nodded and walked away.

River stood up and opened a trunk at the end of her bed. She took out a crimson red dress, which matched the envelope. It was sleeveless and went down to just above her ankles. It had frills across it and at the bottom. She held it up and smiled. She laid it down on her bed. She took out a small black sparkly handbag and put all the usual things inside, like her hallucinogenic lipstick and her diary. She read the letter once more. She could tell it was going to be a brilliant night.

Guards thundered down the hallways and alarms sounded. But they were too late, River ran into the TARDIS, with her hair in a messy bun, with her dress in her arms and her handbag over her shoulder. The doors quickly closed behind her and the TARDIS materialized away. "Hello sweetie!" She greeted him, grinning. "Hello, Doctor Song," he replied, leaning against the TARDIS. He was wearing a white suit top with a black bowtie and black pants. He pulled a lever on the console, smiling, the TARDIS jolting to the side.

River quickly ran to the console pressing a button and turning a dial, the TARDIS becoming more steady.

"Let me go get changed." She bounced up the stairs and down the hallway. The Doctor sighed and smiled pressing a couple more buttons on the TARDIS. She hadn't seen River for ages, he was glad they could spend a fun night together.

Once River had got changed into her crimson dress, the Doctor landed the TARDIS, looking outside. It was a grand looking place, with a desk at the front to order with a door behind it, probably to the kitchen. There were tables with black table cloths, each with a candle and cutlery. There was also a dance floor and a bar. River had heard about the Nebular Starship, it was one of the fanciest places and had views of comets and exploding stars, hence the name.

The Doctor and River were shown to a table right next to a huge window where they sat down, the Doctor straightening a candle on the table. "So," began River, flicking through her book, "Shall we do diaries?"

"Oh, yes," he said, getting his out, looking through the pages.

"Have we done the Byzantium?" asked River.

"um, oh yes, definitely. How about Jim the Fish?"

"Oh Yeah! Jim the Fish, he was great wasn't he?"

"Brilliant! Lake Silencio?"

"Uh…Yes."

The two were interrupted by the waiter, a tall skinny young man. "Sir, Madame, would you like to order drinks?" The Doctor had skimmed the drinks menu, even though it took up a whole two pages. "Uh, yes. I'll take two Vedresh Shakes, please." The waiter left and went into the kitchen. River was delighted, she hadn't had good food in ages, and all the food on the menu looked very fancy. The Doctor gazed out the window as River looked mouthwateringly at the menu. Even though he saw these sights so often, he hardly had the time to appreciate them. He grinned, seeing familiar planets and remembering trips he'd been on.
