A/N: Hi! Second story since my insanely long writer's block! I think it really is going away, thank goodness! Only thing is, I keep having all these story ideas hit me at once, and I can only write so many at once... Anyway, enjoy!


River Song stood looking out of her bedroom window, staring at the sky and its stars. It had been a little while since she had last seen the Doctor. Oh, she'd seen him; he just wasn't her Doctor, her husband. It had been only just long enough that she missed him terribly. It hurt, and every star in the sky that night only stirred memories that made her miss him even more.

Her attention was repeatedly drawn back to one star in particular. It was a beautiful twinkling star, her favorite. She glanced behind her at the bedside table. Resting there was a medium-sized crystal cube with a bright, sparkling object trapped inside. The object was a star, the exact one she saw through her window, and the Doctor had given it to her in the crystal as a gift during their first Christmas together.

She wondered what he was doing. He was most likely off on some exciting adventure, the usual. Maybe he was staring at the same stars she was. Maybe he was on one of them.

River smiled as she thought of him. Her Doctor, all smiles and flirting and "Hi, honey, I'm home." One of the things she missed most was when he called her honey; she loved it, and though she would never admit that, he knew that she liked it

She wished she could just see him, even if only for a few minutes. Having said that, a few adventures and a couple weeks' stay with her husband would be nice.

I live for the times I see the Doctor…

When he wasn't around, when she missed him, everything moved so slowly. It was as if time were mocking her, saying 'You can't see him now, ha ha ha!' That night it was the most frustrating thing in the world. No, the universe. She didn't think she could stand it one more minute. Thoughts of him were consuming her so much she thought she might go insane.

Turning back to the window, River's eyes went wide as she saw a light streak across the sky, passing the multitude of stars, and disappeared.

It's him...
