She was just so amazing. He couldn't figure out what was so special about that woman, but he wanted to find out. The way she just takes charge, and she's so smart, and that hair. That wonderfully brilliant, wibbly wobbly hair.
"Pretty boy! Over here!" She yelled, gosh he wished he meant him, then Donna looked over at him as if it was obvious.
"Oh, I'm pretty boy?" He asked kind of relieved.
"Yes!"
"Pretty?"
"Meh?"
"Hmm." He walked over to the mysterious woman.
Donna could tell he was interested in her. And she wasn't going to let him say differently when she mentions it to him, she knows him much too well.
Donna and the Doctor had received a message from a stranger. Apparently he isn't the only one with physic paper. When they arrived he tried to warn them but the leader, River was here name, wasn't about to leave. But he was okay with that, she showed so much confidence and it reminded him of Rose. The way she took control, that was all her. She amazed him and he tried more to focus on the Vashta Nerada than what it would be like to have that kind of hair.
A lot of research, finding clues, and a lot of running later, they ended up in a computer room where they had just met CAL(Charlotte Abigail Lux), a super computer run by a little girl who loves to read. They lost both Dave's, Evangeline, Donna was missing, and now the Doctor was hooking up a machine to sacrifice himself with. But River wasn't going to let him go through with it, she kept yelling at him until he handcuffed her to a post in another room. That's when someone punched him and he was out cold.
When he woke up he saw Anita in his place, ready to sacrifice herself for this brilliant Doctor. He begged and pleaded but the timer went to 1 and Anita was gone.
"She was a brilliant woman. I really liked her." The Doctor was telling Donna as River walked up to them.
"Yes, she was. Doctor? What is that box anyways?" River asked.
"It's the TARDIS, Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. She can travel anywhere through time and space." He answered quite proud.
"She?"
"Yup. She's got a woman's conscience. Would you like to come with me and Donna and travel? It's a whole lot of fun and I could use someone like you."
"Someone like me?"
"Yeah, uhh. Brilliant. You know, smart, confident, and your hair of course. What do you say?"
"It does look like fun, and I enjoyed meeting you today but-"
"But? Oh gosh I hate those."
"But I have lots of work to do. I am a professor at Luna University. Maybe next time."
"Next time? You think there will be another meeting?"
"I'm sure of it." she smiled. "I have a favor to ask."
"Yes?"
"Mr. Lux is staying here and everyone else on my team is dead. Could I have a ride home? Since you've got yourself a nice spaceship and all."
"Of course! Donna, why don't you show her around while I get us to Luna."
"Show 'er yourself, Space-Man! I'm going to bed after all that running, seriously don't you every rest?" Donna said as she went to her room.
"Well, I'll just type in the coordinates and then we can take a tour, what do ya say?"
"Sure."
They walked up to the console and he started flipping switched and pressing buttons. River watched, astonished by the way he danced so easily around the dash.
"So you really don't like archeology?" She asked as he grabbed her hand and showed her the library.
"Nah. I'm a time traveler. I see what really goes on, most archeologists get it wrong."
"Well, since we'll be seeing each other again, maybe you can show me some stuff the right way it happened?"
"I'd like that."
They finished the tour and said their good byes, the doctor asked her again if she was sure about traveling but she was sure she wanted to stay put for now. And so, he was gone. Traveling again but this time he had River on his mind.
The Doctor traveled with Donna to many places until he had
to erase her memory and leave everyone else where they had come from. He was once again alone and sulking, but this time he knew there was someone out there he could see again. She said so herself, and probably thought she'd never see him again. So, he set the coordinates for Luna University when his physic paper burned him with a message.
Waiting at Asgard, under the big oak tree. See you soon?
He quickly typed in different coordinates and got ready for what was coming. He wasn't completely sure it was the woman he met in The Library but he knew where ever he was going there would be something to cheer him up.
