Chapter 2
"Predictable… but if you get us in any trouble…" He left the threat unfinished, not truly knowing what he was going to say. Or, rather, what he could say that would actually sound like a threat to this woman.
"So are you going to punch in the Co-ordinates like a gentleman or are you going to make the lady do everything?" She raised a eyebrow and her smile turned into a sly grin.
"I don't even know-" He started to say, but then the television reporter began listing out the co-ordinates slowly. He turned his back to River, not wanting her to see the shade of light pink that had spread across his cheeks. He typed in the co-ordinates and the TARDIS spun away from it's parking spot in River's back yard. River walked up and pressed the blue button.
"Hope you don't mind, Sweetie, but I'm going to go get changed into something a bit more comfortable. Let me know if the TARDIS lands!" She blew him a small kiss then walked out of the main control room of the TARDIS. The Doctor was left staring after her in a daze. How is it that a mere five minutes ago they were waiting to go to a show and now buzzing off to some unknown planet for no reason other than it sounded exciting. Was there no such thing as a normal day in his life? Was he truly doomed to get into danger every day? Maybe it was just every day she was with him. The more he thought about it, the more he believed she truly was there just to make every second of his life thrilling, not that he was complaining.
River walked back out of the hallway dressed in camo, and though it wasn't as heavy as the last time, it still reminded him of the crash at the Byzantium. Her hair was even up, though it looked like a bun she'd quickly thrown together as she hurried to get dressed. It still looked beautiful, as always.
"Didn't I tell you to let me know when we landed?" River shook her head disappointedly, though she was grinning from ear to ear. "Did you check it out? Or were you polite in waiting?" She stopped in front of him, suddenly looking younger as her eyes twinkled in excitement.
"Didn't want to spoil your fun." He said, grabbing his tweed coat and practically flinging it on himself. By the time he'd gotten ready to leave, River was already out the door, looking around at, oddly enough, all the plant life. The planet looked much like an island paradise. She snatched his hand and pulled him out as he snapped his fingers to close the doors.
"It's it lovely? And you were so worried it was dangerous." She laughed, walking into the forest of over-grown trees.
"River, Might I ask you to actually stay near me?"He asked the spot where she'd just disappeared into. He heard a small noise come from the forest in front of him. "What is that?" Then he heard the noise again, but this time he made out what it was. "River!" He shouted, running into the forest and toward the sound of the feminine scream.
Again I ask, Does anyone have any ideas to what River/another girl is screaming at/about? Please do share! Thank you all for everything!
