Hi everyone! I am so excited to be publishing my first (and hopefully not my last) Doctor Who Fanfiction! It's been a while since I published anything on this site and the last thing was Twilight which was...a really long time ago! Hopefully my writing and storytelling has improved since then ;) Now some ground rules and knowledge before we begin:

This story takes place in between Season's 6 and 7 and is a canon story. I don't want to reveal any more information and will just let you get to the story!

I would like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to my lovely Beta goblindreamer who has made this story more pleasing to the grammar eye :)

Now onto the first chapter! *cue theme song*

Chapter One: The Beginning of the End

In the middle of Lake Silencio, the fire burned high into the sky. The cloudless night made the flames brighter, making fire noticeable for miles. Some would see the flames from the roads and assume some teenagers were making another bonfire by the lake, while others who were closer could see the fire was in the center of the lake. To the average person walking by, it looked like the cover of a murder like from the movies. In truth that's exactly what it was, but of course there was more to the story than just the fire in the middle of the lake.

This fire in the middle of the lake was burning the body of one of the greatest men the universe has ever known. The man floating in the burning boat has seen the beginning and end of the universe and everything in between. He has saved the world more times than any one person could know and never been thanked once. He never asked for thanks though; he did all of this because he wanted to. He risked his life all because he loved the universe and the secrets it held with it and would do anything to protect it.

But in one moment, he stood at the edge of the lake, in front of his friends who were his family and was shot by the women he loved. His friends watched as he fell to the ground shot in the middle of his regeneration process. They watched as the man who they loved deeply die. They now knew he asked them to be there so he wouldn't die alone. But that was hours ago, and now the only thing left was the boat floating in the middle of the lake as the body of the man they loved burned into the night sky.

Over on the other side of the rocks, the Doctor watched his body burn until there was nothing left. He watched, knowing everything he has worked for in the past thousand years of life turn to ash. After all, the man burning in the boat really wasn't the Doctor, just a robot filled with tiny people and his tiny self. See time told him he had to be here; not that he had to die. So he asked the Teselecta people to help him this one last time. The Doctor watched the sky grow darker and knew by now he would have flown away in the Tardis leaving the robot and the people inside left in the ship. He looked down at his watch knowing it was time to go retrieve the body and make sure the people inside were really okay.

The Doctor brought the robot on shore, afraid to look down and see himself. He knew it was silly, but the thought of seeing his body dead only scared him a bit. The Teselecta though already went into emergency auto and was just a plain robot, silver and shiny. Not a burn was in sight except for a couple of golden marks on the edges. One eye began to open and glowed bright until a young man was standing in front of the Doctor.

"Thank you again for saving me Captain and sorry about the timeline change there. I didn't know River would do that." The Doctor said, putting his hand out and shaking the Teselecta Captains' hand.

"The pleasure was ours, Doctor. Now that we know the truth of the events that happened tonight, we would be happy to erase the data on your wife River Songs' The Captain began to explain how knowing that River was forced into committing the murder made the tesselect people feel that she wouldn't be a threat to the rest of the world. The Doctor though stopped listening once he heard "wife". Hearing River being called his wife for the first time suddenly made it seem like the mystery behind River Song was solved. There was no more need for the secrets between them.

"You know, can you keep the records? Fixed points in time and all, I don't want to mess with fate."

"Of course. We understand."

The men talked a bit more about business including on how to act now that the Doctor was "dead". After reaching a conclusion on the matter the Captain put his hand out and shook the Doctors hand.

"Well, we must be on our way, Doctor." The Captain finished the conversation by saluting the Doctor and turning back to the laying Teselecta Robot. The bright light came again taking the Captain back to his ship.

The Doctor turned away to see his Tardis standing off into the distance. The blue police box was waiting for him, ready to travel the universe; the only question was where to? He was free of the Silence once and for all. Everyone he knew assumed he was deadexcept the Ponds. They were very upset with him knowing he kept it a secret from them but he made amends after Christmas, and they couldn't stay mad at him forever.

He entered his Tardis and began to enter coordinates to a planet where his favorite restaurant resided. It was a beautiful planet with the best fish fingers and custard he ever tasted. As the Tardis reached his destination, he received an urgent message from his physic paper reading "Hello Sweetie" attached with coordinates.

River Song, he would never stop saving his new wife. He still couldn't get over her new title. Of course, he always knew that she was his wife but he assumed it was by force. Now he knows he did it because he really loved her. If he had to do everything over again, he would have made a proper ceremony of things, but time was of the essence in that reality so the quick version was all he could do.

He rolled his eyes thinking of River and knowing this would be the first time he would see her after she "killed" him. He flew the Tardis to his new destination and quickly opened the door knowing she would be standing waiting for him like she always was.

Only this time, it wasn't River Song.

He saw the figure of a redheaded girl running straight for the Tardis. She was obviously running from something and knew he would be there to save her, but how? He didn't have time to ponder though as the girl ran straight into the Tardis. The young girl flinged her jacket on the coat rack and advanced up to the control room. She was yelling at no one in particular but everyone at once. Not noticing the Timelord was still at the open door. He quickly closed the door and walked up to see that she had taken a seat in one of the chairs. Questions were buzzing around in his head but they would all have to wait. The girl suddenly interrupted his thoughts by turning to him yelling "Allons-y!"

Now who does she think she is using 10's catchphrase?!

You can yell at me in Reviews! They feed the soul and I will respond to all my review at the top of my next chapter! Well off to go write some more of this lovely story in my little River Song journal...
