Ahhh! Plot bunnies have got me again! I'm never going to finish Lily or What's Inside a Timelord's Couch? if I keep this up! But it's midnight and I can't deny that this idea has been eating at me. Just to let everyone know this is NOT a Ten/River story! They are just friends! Doctor and Rose forever! So without any more wait, here it is!

"Now who can tell me the 5 reasons why the creatures of the Protozoic Age died out?" asked the professor. He scanned the lecture hall as hands went up everywhere but he did not focus his eyes on them. Instead his attention was caught by an unmoving figure.

"Miss Song." The figure in the third row didn't so much as twitch.

"Miss Song." Again, this time a little louder. Nothing.

"MISS SONG!!"

The curly haired head popped up quickly. "Hello sir." It replied as it stretched. "Did I miss something?"

"Yes, I believe you did. It was most of my class."

"I'm terribly sorry sir. I'm sure your lecture was fascinating."

"Ah hun."

The bell ran and the class began to file out. "Dismissed. Remember," called the professor. "We will be back at the dig site tomorrow."

The curly haired woman grabbed her bag and was making her way to the door when the professor called out. "Miss Song, you stay. I need to have a word with you." She sighed and turned back to him.

"This is the third time this week you have either fallen asleep or were doing something you should not have been in my class." Song opened her mouth to speak but was cut off. "I know. You said before that you are a person who needs to keep moving but part of being an archeologist means being able to stay focused. You are a bright young woman and I'd hate to fail you. That is why I am giving you one last chance. Prove yourself at the dig site the next few days and I'll pass you. Can you do that?" He stared into her face.

"Yes sir."

"Good. I will see you tomorrow then. You may go." She turned and sped out of the room quickly.

Standing outside the room was friend and fellow aspiring archeologist Bella Piper. "River! There you are! So what's the verdict from Professor Vanguard?"

River Song looked at her friend. "Come and get a coffee with me. I'll tell you all about it then."

Ok. What did you think? Not bad? The Doctor liked it (siriusdoctorwhohoney329 you know what I'm talking about) Please Review and Please no flames. My heart wouldn't be able to take it today.
