It was a typical morning in Stormcage; Dull.

It was raining as usual, and the thunder could be heard from miles away. Sometimes, River thought that Stormcage was on a never-ending rain planet or something.

When River thought things couldn't get any more boring. A guard came to her door.

"Miss Song?"
"Yes?"
"The warden wishes to speak with you."

River rolled her eyes slightly, letting her breath out. This was never good news.

So the guard unlocked the door, and let her out. She could feel the tip of the guards gun being held to her back, and she just laughed. "No need for that love. Don't worry, no tricks this time. I'm out of lipstick."

She could feel the the gun drop slightly, and only slightly, as she continued to walk down the cold corridor, with beams of light flickering through the few windows from the lightening.

The door creaked entering the wardens office. "You wished to see me?" She said leaning against the door. The warden (Also known by George) Nodded. "I noticed you were working towards your pardon." He said getting up from his chair. River just nodded, slightly worried about what he was going to say next. "We might have something for you. Community hours to work towards your release." River raised an eyebrow. She wasn't quite sure about this. "And just what, exactly, were you thinking of?" She asked with a hint of questioning in her voice. "There's a school in America. They've been looking for a science teacher for quite a few years now. You wouldn't necessarily be our first choice, or that we trust you with kids," Before he got to finish, River just sent him a glare. "But we do believe you are qualified to teach these children."

River took a moment to think this over. She hadn't been around children much. Could she be a teacher? There was another thing too... "How do you know I won't just escape?" She said raising an eyebrow. "Ms. Song. Even when you do escape, you always come back. And we will be giving you a tracking device to put in your earrings."

She had to take a moment, think this through. Even if she was a terrible teacher, it still might be the difference of her staying, or leaving Stormcage. So she began nodding slowly. "I'll do it." The warden smiled "Good. The devices in your earrings will give you five hours on earth each day. Including Saturdays and Sundays." This puzzled River. "Saturday's and Sundays?" She thought to herself, although, she wasn't going to question it. "Allonzo." (The guard) The wardens voice boomed. "Take Ms. Song outside the Stormcage walls." Allonzo nodded, and they proceded to exit the wardens office.

River smiled at Allonzo. "You never told me your name." She said as they walked the dim Stormcage halls. "You never asked." He said always in his serious guard voice. And they stopped right by the proper exiting doors. "This is where we depart ma'am." River just smiled. "Thank you Allonzo." And tapped some buttons on her vortex manipulator, as she disappeared. "He has to be gay." She thought to herself.
