The second chapter is here! I hope you like this one. It will probably still be fluffy, but not as much as the first. Review!

Chapter 2

It was morning. River woke up to feel the warmth of the Doctor's skin against her cheek, his arms wrapped tightly around her. He was still asleep. It looked like he was sleeping peacefully for once. It was rare that the Doctor got this much sleep, especially without having nightmares. Though she was now wide awake, River settled back in to the Doctor's chest, just lying there peacefully.

It was not long before the Doctor woke up, though. She could tell when he did because he inhaled deeply with his face buried in her hair and began sliding his hands up and down her back as if to comfort her. It worked.

River shifted her head so that she was looking at the Doctor. He smiled. "Hello."

"Hello," she replied softly. She would have been content to stay like this all day, but she knew that was not how the Doctor worked. He slid out of bed quickly and began to get dressed. She sighed and did the same.

After breakfast, they both stood in the console room. "So are you going to tell me where we're going now?" asked River.

The Doctor pulled a few levers before twirling to face her with a smile. "Why would I tell you when I can show you?"

He began rambling, and although River found this adorable, she never really listened. Therefore, by the time he was done, she knew almost nothing about the planet they had landed on. When he opened the TARDIS doors, she saw what looked like a castle, touching the clouds. However, it was obviously not human, and it was made from a silvery metal rather than stone. The Doctor took her hand and led her inside.

They were stopped right inside the door by a guard wielding a gun. The Doctor simply pulled out his psychic paper. The guard took one look, saluted them, and mumbled something along the lines of, "I'm terribly sorry, your majesty." The Doctor gave River a wink, and they continued through.

The guard had looked human, although nothing inside this building looked human at all. For one thing, the flowers sitting in a vase on a table they passed were of no species found on earth. The Doctor had probably explained all this in the TARDIS when River was zoned out, so she didn't say anything.

Eventually they came to a huge gold-plated door that ran from floor to the ceiling which was now about two stories tall. Of course the Doctor would waste no time knocking, so he soniced the lock and opened the door only a crack. He peered through and then whispered to River, "Ooh, I think I've found the boss around here!" He then proceeded—with objections from River—to throw open the door and make an entrance.

"Hello everyone! You can call me the Doctor, and this is River!" He declared brightly to the people in the room. There were three of them, and each wore an identical expression of confusion mixed with shock. Two of the men wore suits, although one had a gold tie. The third carried a gun, and was most likely a guard.

"Who exactly do you think you are, and how did you get in here?" the man in a normal suit asked incredulously.

"I've told you. I'm the Doctor, and this is River. We're on our honeymoon!" River rolled her eyes at the last part, as he probably did not need to add this part. Since the man did not look any less suspicious, the Doctor showed them his psychic paper.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I had no idea!"

"That's quite alright," the Doctor said with a smile. He then turned to the man in the gold tie. "So I'm guessing you're in charge around here?"

"Yes. I guess you could say I rule this planet."

"How nice. Well, I had heard a lot about the hospitality of your people here, and was wondering if you could offer us… accommodations?"

The man looked unsure for a moment, but then must have decided to trust the Doctor. He nodded to his advisor, who said, "Right this way." He led them down a few different corridors, up an elevator, and eventually ended at a door at the end of a hallway. "You may stay here. Also, meet in the dining room for dinner. His highness is dying to learn about you." The man then turned and left.

The Doctor exchanged a glance with River and said, "See, people give you exactly what you want as long as you look like you know what you're doing." She smiled and rolled her eyes. He soniced the lock and led her inside.

The room was absolutely amazing. The back wall was entirely made of glass, and offered a splendid view of the surrounding hills beyond the town. Through one door was the bedroom, which had a bed that could only be described as larger-than-king-sized. There was not much for entertainment, but this was just a guest room, anyways. It had probably been meant for friends of the king, sultans and lords.

After checking the time, they discovered that dinner was in about ten minutes. They freshened up and headed down, hand-in-hand.

They entered the dining room to find it only set for four people: the Doctor, River, the king, and the advisor. The last two were already there, so as soon as the Doctor and River sat down, servants brought out many of the most delicious dishes they had ever eaten.

"So, Doctor," began the king, "let's get right to it. I know you used psychic paper." The Doctor turned pale and began to look uncomfortable when the king laughed and said, "No, no it's quite alright. Like you said, we are known for our hospitality. Feel free to stay as long as you want. However, I must first ask you: Are either of you human?"

The Doctor looked surprised at this question. "No, why?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing. Forget I said anything." The Doctor was now getting suspicious, but since this man was the king of the planet, he decided he probably shouldn't say anything to upset him.

"We should probably be heading back up to our room now," he said, "but dinner was lovely." The Doctor and River got up to leave.

"What was all that about?" she asked once they were out of the room.

"I'm not sure, but I'm going to find out. Well, I'll find out later at least. Right now, we might as well just enjoy our honeymoon.

Now they were back in their room. The Doctor kissed River slowly on the lips, and River threw her arms around his neck and began kissing him more passionately. He did not object, only wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into him as he led her to the larger-than-king-sized bed.

I hope you like this one. It's got a little bit of a cliff hanger, so I guess you'll just have to wait for chapter 3. Until then, why not leave a review?
