Before River could start teaching, she needed to get a few more things, and not mention, the impossible task of finding a certain bow tied someone, who seemed to hide himself from her. She had a few more days before she started, and an adventure might do her some good. Although tracking him down would be the tough part, and yet, at the same time it was so simple. She could always set the Vortex manipulator to 'TARDIS' but then she would have to check virtually every time zone to find him. So she could start by checking his favorite timezone. 1657.
River bit her lip, a tricky idea forming at the back of her mind. The chameleon circuit. What had happened to it? He always claimed it broke, but she felt that there was more to the story. Maybe she was the one who took it? River let out a slight laugh at the thought. It was so clever yet, so mischievous.
When River finally found the Doctor, he was around 1895, looking at his score in some of the older museums. But that's not where she found him. No, the vortex manipulator had landed directly in the TARDIS. She felt a smirk curl on to her lips, as he didn't know she was there yet. "Hello, Sweetie." She said, her voice a little louder than usual. He jumped about a foot in the air, and turned around quickly, fixing his hair. "River! Hello!" He said with a nervous smile. River couldn't help but let out an inward laugh. It was so cute when he tried so hard. And not to mention the blushing, he blushes easily. "How many times have I told you not to sneak up on me like that?" River just laughed, walking up to him, placing herself at the TARDIS console. She couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly. "Well, that would be the first time." She said running a hand through her dark curls, that looked red in the TARDIS light. "And besides, I would let you know I was coming, if you would care to pick up your phone." She scoffed lightly. Not that she would have called him anyways... "Ah yes, I've been working on that." (No he hadn't.) "Seems to me something is broken." (No it wasn't ). So she just nodded silently, it was his rule one after all. And besides, she could tell the Doctor was nervous. She never really visited him unless it was an emergency, or an extremely rare case. Other than that, the Doctor always picked her up. But she felt odd, because it was neither. Because she was there for an adventure, and to find out what happend to the chameleon circuit. "What brings you here Doctor Song?" That could only mean one thing to her. She was still wearing her prison jumper, which she planned on changing later. But his voice cut through her thoughts like a soft butter knife, pulling her back into reality. "Oh, you know," She started. "Just looking for an adventure." She said with casualty in her voice, and a sweet smile. "Is that so?" He said with a slight laugh. "You and I both know you don't come unless it's something important." He stated with a slight smile. He may have been confused about why she was here, but gosh how she could tell he was happy to see her. She just shrugged and tilted her head slightly. "As that may be true, you haven't visited me for, what?...6 months is it?" She couldn't help but have a slight smirk on her face when she was right. She was always right.
The Doctor broke the silence after a while. "But you do need something?" River laughed and just shook her head. "No, actually, I'm just here for an adventure, and possibly some information." And she saw his smile, turn into a smile of relief, and straightened his bow tie. "Well then Doctor Song. Where do you want to go?"
