River had landed, somewhere sticky, coated with humidity. If you tried talking, the only voice you could hear, was the chattering of others, and it was loud. She was at an alien black market. It had the atmosphere of the UK spaceship, but there was one thing she was looking for in particular. A fat blue man by the name of Dorium Maldovar.
River found Doriums tent, and she could've sworn he looked about as if he wanted to run. River just laughed, and sat at the table across from him. "Hello Dorium." She said with a smile, even though his face looked absolutely terrified. "Professor Song." He said bluntly. "Doctor Song, Spoilers, you know?" He just nodded.
"And what might you need today?"
"Perception filters."
"Why?"
"Because children love magic."
At this Dorium just stared at her for a moment. He was one of the chosen few, who actually found out that the Doctor and River were married. "Are you pregnant River?" He said in a whisper, with a slightly disgusted face. River let out a loud laugh, putting her hand over her mouth to muffle it. "No! Of course not!" Dorium seemed to be even more confused. "I'm going to be a school teacher." She said with a smile. Of course, this only confused Dorium more. "You? A school teacher? No!" River gave him a stern look, and he suddenly stopped laughing. "A science teacher. Now, to get down to business Mr. Maldovar, how many perception filters do you have?" After she said this, he looked as if he was deep in thought, then started counting on his fingers. "I have about...Say...7 regular sized ones and a screening device." (A screening device is a perception filter, only bigger.) River nodded and smiled. "Yes, that will do quite nicely." But Dorium didn't seem as pleased. "And how exactly do you plan on paying for all this Ms. Song?" River couldn't help but feel a smirk curl up onto her lips, as she pulled out a card from her pocket. "It's any kind of currency you need. Do you take a credit card?" Dorium nodding, pulling out a box from under the table. "I usually prefer my customers to pay in credit bars. You can't buy anything with earth money these days," He said scoffing slightly, as he ran the card through a machine. River opened the box. The perception filters were brand new, and smelled like paint. It was exactly what she needed. She picked up the box, said her goodbyes to Dorium, and headed off.
