So sorry for not updating. Computer problems plus serious writer's block does not make for good writing
The doctor was asleep when his wife was trying to wake him up.
"Sweetie, wake you really need to wake up." She said in a somewhat voice it seemed as she kept pushing him back and forth.
"Just a couple more minutes." He muttered sleepily.
"No." She said loudly. "You really need to get up now!"
"Fine." He said as he slowly rose up. "now then what's so..."
"I guess you can see the problem then."
The doctor can only nod as he saw that his wife didn't look his wife. Well, she did in a way. He supposed. It's just that she looked more like a guy. Her curly hair was still there just shorter. Her chest was now flat and her phenomenal curves were gone.
"Umm...Sweetie." She (or was it he now?) said nervously
"What?" he asked
"You may want to look in a mirror." She said
"Why?"
"Just look." She said
"Okay." He said as he made his way to the mirror.
He had a feeling why River wanted him to look in the mirror but he ignored it. It couldn't be because of that. It just couldn't be. Maybe it was because he turned to ginger overnight he thought hopefully. When he finally got to the mirror he couldn't believe what he saw. His brown hair grew and was now done to his shoulders. His chest which usually flat now had two medium lumps on it. He also curves though they weren't as defined as his wife.
"What happened?" was all that he managed to say.
"I have no clue. Maybe it had something to do with that planet we were on yesterday. Something in the water perhaps." River suggested.
"That would explain why it messed you up but not me." He said
"Why? What makes you so special."
"Time lord remember." He said sitting down on his bed. "I've been to so many places. Some even twice. That particularly planet that we were on I've visited exactly 14 times."
"Why have you visited that planet so much?" River asked curiously as she sat down next to her husband.
"Ah, I'll tell you later. Right now I've got to figure this whole thing out." He said heading to the control room of the tardis. "I'll be back soon."
"Okay." She said quietly thinking.
Why has he visited that planet so much? He usually doesn't do stuff like that. He's a one and done kind of gone. She thought back to their day yesterday. There was nothing out of the ordinary or special about that planet. In fact it looked a bit plain compared to the usual places they went. There were libraries and museums instead of water the color of the rainbow and candy that came in every flavor you can imagine. She adored the libraries and museums but the doctor seemed a bit bored. She even looked at her diary that she wrote in faithfully at least once every night to see if there was something special there that she missed, there wasn't. Maybe the planet's name meant something to him.
She took out her translating device that instantly translated anything kind of like what the TARDIS but a more handheld version.
"Translate Cancion Rio." She spoke into the machine.
"Translating. Translating. Translation." The machine said when finally it said "Translation: Song River."
She almost dropped the device when she heard that. No wonder he likes it there so much. Hang on 14 times he said. He's regenerated 11 times and she's regenerated 3 times. 14 times is the number of times they've both regenerated put together. She ran out to the control room to question her husband on this knowledge.
"Ah, River." He said when she entered the control room "It turns out you were right. It was something that we ate. Don't worry the effects should be reversed by tomorrow."
"I know." She said
"You know what?" He asked confused "about the food."
"About why you've been to that planet so much. I know what Cancion Rio means. I know why that number 14 is so special to you."
"Ah." he said quietly.
"Is that all you're going to say ah?" She asked
"Well, what do you want me to say?" He asked
"Do you like that planet just because it means my name or is there some other reason?" She asked him
"You really want to know?" He asked
"Yes. I do." She said
"Yes it is partially because it has your name but also because it has libraries and museums things that I associate with you. Also the colors of the water change the exact same colors of your eyes. I go there when I miss you and I pretend you're there with me." He said sobbing a bit at the end.
"Oh Sweetie." She said as she hugged him "I'm always here."
"Yes I know that but it's hard when you're not physically here." He said
"Well, I'm here now so why don't we go cuddle."
"Okay." He said as they made their way to their bedroom.
When they awoke the next day they were back to the way they were supposed to be and River gave him another memory that he'll probably think about when she leaves but for the moment she's with him and that's all that matter.
