A/N: This chapter was mainly just for fun as they made their way to the temple, enjoy and chapter 3 should be more eventful and should be along the way soon!

The Doctor was trying on clothes behind a curtain looking for a formal outfit for tonight. He wanted to look good, after all he is a time-lord and they do have standards especially when it comes to something like the Tapestry of Time.

River sat on a chair facing the curtain and she had one leg crossed over the other in a relaxed motion as she waited patiently for her escort. "So... where are we up to this time, early days I assume?" she asked, making conversation.

The Doctor poked his head out of the deep red curtain, his expression grew confused. There was a long pause before he answered as he considered what to say but to no avail. "I...hm, I don't know. I would think so but not too early." He tried to explain. "Actually, I don't think that made any sense whatsoever!" his face still screwed up in confusion. "So, just forget I said that!" he rambled in his usual manner and his head disappeared behind the curtain again.

"So, you don't know who I am yet?" River asked with a smirk.

"I don't know for sure but, I think I have a pretty good idea." He said poking his head out again and raising an eyebrow.

"Oh really?" River smirked.

The Doctor violently pulled the curtain across in an offended motion and he stepped towards River, only half dressed with his shirt buttoned half way and not tucked in, no shoes, scruffy hair and an un-done bow-tie. "Well..." he paused directly in front of her, personal space wasn't an issue anymore- it seemed to be non-existent.

River thought he was going to hug or even kiss her but instead he just shrugged his shoulders. "I really don't have a clue, River." And with that he turned and he stepped away.

"Who do you think I am then?" River was curious. She smiled at him deviously biting her bottom lip.

"...Spoilers!" he teased in her usual manner.

"Oi... my line!" she grinned.

"I'm entitled to say it too you know!"

"Oh no you're not!"

"I think you'll find that I am... now then, jacket. Which one should I wear?" he asked himself completely changing the subject so that he wins the argument.

River rolled her eyes, he had done that so many times before and she just couldn't be bothered to argue further, she'd let him win just this once.

The Doctor strode towards the mirror and picked up two hangers which each had a jacket on them. He held one up to himself, then the other to compare. He frowned at one of the jackets and tossed it aside then took the other off the hanger and put it over his shoulders. He smartened up his appearance and then turned to River. "Ta-Dah!" he smiled waving his arms eccentrically to draw attention to himself.

"Great! Now let's get going." River smiled and she spun around and made her way to the console. The Doctor followed closely behind her watching her every movement, that dress truly complimented her already hot figure.

"Seeing as you have the invitation and you know the co-ordinates would you like to take shotgun?" the Doctor asked leaning his back on the rail next to the console.

"Thought you'd never ask!" River grinned. The Doctor never willingly let her fly the TARDIS before, usually it was a joint effort or just him taking control.

River started to set the co-ordinates and flip the switches for the take-off sequence and as the TARDIS de-materialised, she pressed some buttons to fly the machine safely through the time vortex. She knew the TARDIS well, this had to mean that she already has a strong bond with her Doctor if she already knows how to fly the TARDIS and considering she looks so much younger than he had seen her previously, it amazed him.

"This Temple of Space-Time, where is it exactly?" the Doctor quizzed River.

"It's on an asteroid that circles the centre of the universe." River replied darting around the console.

"So then the Chrystalite and the Tapestry should be nearby?" he stretched his arms behind his head and continued to watch River fly the TARDIS so expertly.

"I thought you could visit them anytime you like?" she teased with a grin.

"Well... yeah but, I don't have to know where they are, they are key items in existence and are made of Time-energy so they can be easily located." He explained in his defence.

"Right..." River sarcastically mumbled.

The TARDIS was nearing the location of the temple and the Doctor marched to the door, his eyes still fixated on River as she prepared to land it. She could feel his gaze and she smirked, she had the power; she always has the power...

River nodded to the Doctor when the TARDIS had safely landed and he returned the nod with an added smile. He waited next to the door for her and as she reached him he extended a hand for her to take hold of, so they look like a typical formal pair of a woman and her escort.

The Doctor pulled open the doors and they were greeted by a large stone temple that looked similar to the pyramids of Egypt but more decorative and shaped differently. The asteroid was pretty much empty apart from the temple and several monuments around it. The sun shone brightly over the orange sands and the beige stone of the temple and the large gem symbols on the temple walls gleamed brightly.

The Doctor and River walked up the many steps leading to the tall temple and there was a man in a smart uniform at the door. "Pass..." he said in his butch voice.

River presented the bouncer with her pass and he read it carefully then looked at the Doctor and to River. "Who are you?" he questioned the Doctor, his eyes never leaving the Doctor's face.

Before River could answer with her cover up of him being her escort and plus one he interrupted. "I'm her husband, and I can't get enough of her work so I just had to come." The Doctor explained.

River just stood in shock for a moment; he just said that he was her husband. The Doctor definitely knew more than he was letting on and whether it was a game or not, he was pretty darn good at guessing the main half of River's story. She did feel complimented that he wanted people to think of them as husband and wife even though, they weren't... yet.

The bouncer nodded. "I see, enjoy the unveiling." He said as he stepped aside to let the pair inside.

River smiled at the Doctor and leaned closer to his ear "You just said that we were married!" she teased.

"So?" the Doctor wanted to keep on track, well off of 'that road.'

"You love me!" she continued to mock. "You barely know me and you love me!"

"Cut it out!" the Doctor whined.

"...So you're not denying it then?" River slyly grinned.

The Doctor paused, frozen on the spot. Why would he deny it? Oh, she was so clever and it was sometimes so annoying that she had to be so brilliant at... everything. How can she do that, how can she almost read his mind like that? He looked at River for a moment in silence then re-focussed himself.

He continued walking down the red carpet staircase to the main hall of the temple with River on his arm. He still wasn't saying anything else, she was right but he didn't want to admit it- he never liked admitting it.

"You're still not denying it!" River loved teasing the Doctor.

"River, just... hush now!" he said pressing a finger to his lips and one to hers. His voice was calm for someone who was annoyed.

He continued the seemingly never-ending journey down the staircase to the hall which was in actual fact below ground hence why the staircase was much larger. He was expecting her to catch up to him at any second so they could resume their formal entrance.

"...You still love me though..." River mumbled knowing that since he hasn't denied it, it must be true. "No deny no lie." She chimed with a grin.

River then started to pick up her pace down the steps to catch up to the Doctor, her heels clicking on the fine red carpet that was so thin it barely muffled the sound. She reached the Doctor and linked arms with him again. He gave her a smile and she returned it.

"Let's go and make an entrance!" the Doctor said eagerly not knowing what to expect, what to see or anything.
