So let's get on with it

River was working on a game closely resembling a sudoku puzzle when the TARDIS materialized outside her cell door. She looked up and smirked as The Doctor popped out, sonicked the door open, and held out his hand. River ignored it and rolled her eyes.

"You said Thursday.", she berated.

The Doctor looked around. "And it's Thursday, right?", he asked hopefully.

River slapped him, and as The Doctor reeled from her shot, she scoffed. "Yes, it is in fact a Thursday!"

"I got it right?", he asked, sounding slightly surprised. "So why did you slap me?"

"Thursday, yes, but two weeks later than you said you'd come."

"Oh, yes. Sorry about that..."

River sighed. "Forget it. Where are we going to nearly die tonight?", she asked as she pulled the TARDIS doors open.

The Doctor followed her in happily, and then placed his hand on a metallic lever on the console. "Good question. I thought I'd hit the randomizer. How 'bout it?", he asked.

River nodded. "But technically, it's not a randomizer.", she corrected.

"Really?", The Doctor asked. "But that's what they always called it back in TARDIS ed."

"Actually, it's a 'let the TARDIS decide' lever, but I suppose since the driver has no input, it can be called a randomizer."

The Doctor smiled and pulled the lever. "Alright, Old Girl, what do you have in store for us this time?", he laughed. The console room lurched and started to screech, but suddenly stopped when River casually pushed a blue button. "And River, please don't do that.", The Doctor added. "It's no fun when you do that."

River groaned and pushed the button once again. "Now that's more like it!", The Doctor exclaimed manically as the room started to lurch and groan once more. River simply held on to a handle bar and rolled her eyes as The Doctor laughed.

The lurching and groaning soon stopped, and The Doctor whipped the doors open to a nearly pitch-black forest. The pair shuffled out of the machine to investigate their surroundings, and promptly fell off a cliff into a pool of water. River climbed her way out onto a nearby shore, The Doctor closely following her. "Please remind me to never let the TARDIS plan our date night again.", she complained.

"Oh, it's not so bad. I mean, it's the middle of the night, we have no clue where we are, and we just fell off a cliff, but we can make this work."

River sent a barely visible death glare towards the man. "You don't know where we are? I thought with all the traveling you've done, you knew everywhere!"

As he chuckled nervously, he pulled out his Sonic Screwdriver to light their surroundings. "Maybe that's why she brought us here? I mean, if I've never been here, maybe that's what she wanted to show us?"

"Maybe, but we'll see.", River said as she stood up and started walking away. "Have you ever used the 'randomizer' before?"

"Yeah. Last time was back with my friend Donna. We went to the Ood Planet and saved them from enslavement. And then they told me that my 'song would be ending soon', and I regenerated the next time I saw them, so they were pretty much spot-on with that prediction.", The Doctor explained as he started to follow River.

"Donna? You've never mentioned her before."

"Yeah. Long story. And don't trip on that root."

River stepped over a raised root and continued to walk. "Why can't we see anything? It's night, but there still should be stars, or moons, or something.", she inquired.

The Doctor looked up to see darkness filling the sky, save for a few small pinpricks of light. "Actually, there are a few stars.", he corrected. As he kept looking up, one of the stars seemed to vanish.

"River, did you see that?", he asked frantically.

"See what, sweetie?"

"That star! It disappeared!", he exclaimed.

River looked up, seeing only a mostly dark sky. "Don't see anything. What do you think, should we do the sensible thing and try to find the TARDIS, or look for trouble?"

The Doctor ran ahead. "Dark forest, unknown planet, and of every time and place in the universe, the TARDIS brought us here. So what do you say? River Song, would you like to do the honors?"

"What honors?"

"Oh, right.", The Doctor recalled. "I don't say that anymore, do I?"

"Say what anymore?"

"Long story. I'll explain it to you when we're sure we aren't in mortal peril."

River suddenly remembered a story about a diamond planet she'd been told. "Allons-y?"

"That's the one!", The Doctor exclaimed happily before confusion settled in. "When did I tell you that?"

"Spoilers.", River replied mockingly.

AN- I wrote this completely randomly, and I may or may not write more. I just felt like writing something. If anyone has any ideas of where to go further from here, please tell me. And I think we all know I don't own Doctor Who, so thanks for reading! -KawaiiJoltic
