Prompt: Image of a rocky beach at sunset with a bright, purple sky. During the time that he took River travelling after "Let's Kill Hitler." Just after "The Big Bang" for the others.
"That's beautiful, James," River sighed as they walked down the beach together.
They were both dressed in their swimsuits, but James had put an oxford on with his trunks and River had added a wrap skirt over her hips. The sky was a brilliant shade of purple this evening and James remembered it well. He came here on this exact evening, with his parents and Amy and Rory. It was years ago for him and he had left the couples to enjoy the sunset while he went off on his own. He had felt like a fifth wheel to the couples and decided to get some reading done back inside the TARDIS.
His parents had mentioned though that he would enjoy this sunset with River, so today was the day that he would follow through with that.
"We're meeting a few people here," he told her with a smirk.
"Really? You want to share a sunset like that?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"With you? Anytime, but my parents mentioned that I came here with you when we visited years ago. We've got to meet them, because we already did," he replied and pulled her further down the beach.
They saw the two couples sitting on some drift wood as they watched the sunset. James wrapped an arm around River's shoulder as they strolled down the beach toward them. He considered how young this River was compared to all the other times they had spent together, but decided that he didn't care. He loved her, no matter when she was.
"Hello," James greeted once they were close to the others.
"Jamie? I thought you were going back to the TARDIS?" Rose questioned.
"Ah, well, past me did go back to the TARDIS. But this really was a spectacular sunset. You and dad got to share it. Amy and Rory got to share it. I wanted a chance to share it with my... my River," James told his mother, still not quite sure how to refer to the woman that was so out of sync with him.
"Quite right. Grab a seat," the Doctor announced with a smile and his parents shifted over a bit to make room. "Dare I ask...?"
"Spoilers," James and River answered together and laughed.
