She was right. When she finished, I wouldn't have even glanced at my plate. I stared at her and then down at my hands.
"So he has to die.. He has to die for time to continue?"
She nods sadly.
"And I have to be the one to do it."
I lean back and just watch her. I found out, through her whole story, that she and the Doctor were also a thing. She was the other one, well actually, I was the other one. But neither of us could find a problem in it. We both loved the Doctor. And it was obvious he loved us as well. I usually hate it when people cheat, but in this case… he didn't. He took us both, at the same time, on the same dates. In the upcoming future that is. So we both knew of the other. We both understood that we each had his hearts.
"River.. It.. It has to be done."
I whisper and she looks at me, angry.
"That's easy for you to say. You aren't the one killing him."
"What about that is easy for me to say? I'm so happy you're killing the man that, I, that WE love? How in the hell is that easy?"
She looks down at her hands and I walk over to her side. I sit in the chair beside her and I wrap my arms around her.
"You're suppose to be on my side."
She whispered and I held on to her tighter.
"River, if he has to die… then he has to die. You know this."
"But it doesn't have to be this way."
She jumped up and walked to the other side of the table before turning back to me.
"River-"
"No. I'm not giving up on him. Let's talk to him, when he gets here. See if he has an idea. He always has an ideal. He has too."
She gave me a pleading look. I reluctantly nodded.
"Okay. Okay. We'll… talk to him."
She smiled at me and ran up to hug me.
"Uh.. Ma'am?"
We broke apart to look at a soldier.
"Yes?"
The soldier looked to be blushing and turned to look away.
"He's here."
"Thank you. We'll be there."
The door closed and River grabbed my hand.
"Let's go say hello."
I smiled at her and we walked to a large room, where people were running around in white coats. River turned to face everyone, back to the door, and she turned me around with her. We looked at the woman in the chair, tied up.
"I'm guessing this is the woman to take you away?"
River nodded and the woman smirked at me.
"Oh, how I love time travel. You don't know me yet, but you will. You and I will be close friends soon."
I gave her a curious look, but River turns her head to me.
"Ignore her"
.One of the lab coat ladies came up to River, handing her papers.
"You were right- just his presence in the building caused the loop to extend by nearly 4 chronons."
I looked to the clock to see it almost make the complete 8.
"Hello, Honeys, I'm home."
I groan and River smirks at me.
"And what sort of time do you call this?"
She asked as we turned. She walked away to set the papers on a desk.
"The death of time, the end of time. The end of us all. Why couldn't you just die?"
"Did me best, dear. I showed up. You just can't get the Psychopaths these days."
He walked forward and placed both of his hands on my face. He gave me a smile and kissed my nose.
"It's so good to see this face again."
He whispered, but I think it was more to himself. So I stayed quiet. I smiled at him. He dropped his hands away and kept walking.
"Love what you've done with the pyramids. How did you swing all this?"
River smirked at me.
"Hallucinogenic lipstick. Works wonders on President Kennedy and Cleopatra was a real pushover."
"I always thought so."
The Doctor said as he grabs my hand and spins me around.
"She mentioned you."
He stopped spinning me and pulled me to him.
"What did she say?"
"'Put down that gun.'"
"Did you?"
The Doctor and I both asked with a slight smirk on our faces.
"Eventually."
"All that flirting. Do I have to watch this?"
"It was such a basic mistake, wasn't it, Madame Kovarian? Take a child, raise her into a perfect psychopath, introduce her to the Doctor and Maxy. Who else was I going to fall in love with?"
"It's not funny, River. Reality is fatally compromised. Tell me you understand that."
"Dinner?"
"I don't have the time. Nobody-"
"Shame. Maxy and I had a great dinner."
She winked at me and the Doctor's hold on my tightened.
"Nobody has the time, because as long as I'm alive, time is dying, because of you.. River."
"Because I refused to kill the man we love."
River said gesturing to me. The Doctor lets go of me and I get ready to move.
"Oh, you love me. Oh, that's sweet of you you. Isn't that sweet? Come here, you."
I moved away as he stepped closer to River. I heard Amy yell get him and before he could touch her, he was held back by guards.
"I'm not a fool, sweetie. I know what happens if we touch."
The Doctor grabs River's arm, breaking free from the guards.
"Get off me. Get him off me! Doctor, no. Let go! Please Doctor, let go!"
A woman behind us yells.
"It's moving. Time's moving!"
"Get him off me! Maxy! Doctor!"
River looks to me panicking.
"I'm so sorry River, but it's the only way."
I saw a flash of golden light and then everything went black. I felt a sharp pain in my head and heart and I cried out in the darkness. Grabbing both my head and shirt, over my heart, falling to the ground. Then it started to fade away. I felt someone grab me and put me in there lap.
"Open your eyes for me. Please, Maxy, please. Open your eyes."
Extremely busy again, working really hard, I really need to go. So so so very sorry. I'm really trying. I hope you liked it.
