A/N: ATTENTION STRANGE, INTERGALACTIC, EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS OF THE UNIVERSE. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CHILDREN WITH ALL STAGES OF INSANITY AND PETS OF ALL SPECIES... I have some OH SO EXCITING and OH SO BRILLIANT news...
SO! I have quite a few things to go through, so i apologize in advance for the EXTREMELY LONG AUTHORS NOTE that you are about to skip though .
First thing: This chapter, is the second of quite an interesting selection, being the River-meets-Companion type of setting. The first, was Martha, and i unfortunately, can only do the ones mentioned in the 2005 series of Doctor Who (not including Jo, cause i know absolutely nothing about her). Also, i'm going to have to apologize for any mistakes or something that's not correct or is completely wrong. I don't know all that much about Sarah Jane, so i've done my best.
Second: Bowties, Fezes and Stetson have PASSED 12000 HITS! YAY, PARTY TIME *throws confetti... I felt it deserved a shout out.
Third: PixieKindOfCrazy... I am answering you here because i'm too lazy to reply directly via PM to your review, even though it probably would have been easier and less time consuming to do so that way. One: Thank you, I'm glad the insanity that is my brain amuses you, that is my goal . Second... I love every song/artist/soundtrack you just suggested singing, and Third: I'm very happy you like how i've written River. I was hoping to keep her as close to canon as possible, though according to others she's a little different, and yet they like it, so i'm very glad and apart from the fact she Alex Kingston (in other words friggen sexy), snogging the Doctor would definitely be the plus of being River Song. I agree there.
Fifth... no... Fourth: Cecilsx... I had only planned on having Jenny as a two-parter, though i may reconsider later on in the story. If anyone else shows an interest, or i feel it may fit into the unintended but totally welcome story line that is soon to begin, I shall endeavor to write Part III.
FIFTH AND THE BEST OF ALL SO ALL OF YOU WHO JUST SKIPPED THAT FRIGGEN READ THIS!: I... Am going to hold a competition . Starting from this chapter, and ending with the posting of Chapter 32. The prize? A cameo in Chapter 33! . Not sure if anyone is actually interested, but it should be fun to do, right? Okay, the rules/instructions.

Okay cool... Enjoy... Oh wait. That's another thing... Shit!
Sarah Jane
The last time she'd seen the Doctor, Sarah Jane had waved to him from across the street. At that time, as he stepped in to his brilliant blue box, she'd thought it would be the last time she laid eyes on the Doctor. As it turned out... She was wrong.
She'd heard that wheezing noise, dropped her journal and ran straight past Luke, only to come to a sudden halt as she turned the corner. There, standing before her very eyes... Was not the Doctor. At least... She didn't think it was.
The woman stood, black boots tapping against the concrete ground, and was staring directly at Sarah. She quirked her eyebrow, smiling mysteriously at her.
"Sarah Jane Smith. Oh you are a very interesting surprise."
Sarah blinked at the woman, her hand darting to her hip to pull her Sonic from her pocket. She held it up, aiming it directly at the unconcerned woman.
"Who are you, why do you have the TARDIS and where's the Doctor?" she asked, jaw tight and eyes narrowed.
Luke skidded to a halt behind her, looking between the two women and sighed. The woman raised her eyebrow, looking at her without batting an eyelash at the Sonic aimed at her chest.
"River Song, I need your help, and it's... Probably best you don't know." she said, answering all three of Sarah's questions. She smirked at the last one, causing a siinking feeling in the pit of Sarah's stomach.
"What have you done to him?"
River rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Honestly, it's not as bad as you probably think."
"Try me" she said, not wavering in her grip on the Sonic.
"He's been caught by a Locreté in the Himalayan Mountains and held captive because he decided he'd like to wear some damn white, fluffy hat with ears that it mistook as one of it's young."
Luke coughed, choking out a laugh as Sarah Jane's eyebrow raised considerably with every word spoken. Her hand holding the Sonic fell, dropping to her side immediately.
"And why is it you need my help?" he asked, slightly dazed from the news of the Doctor's whereabouts.
River shrugged, frowning.
"I don't know. I was originally looking for Martha Jones, thinking UNIT could assist me, but Sexy must have re-routed us here."
"Sexy?" Luke muttered, looking down briefly as K9 joined them outside.
"The TARDIS."
He nodded, confused, but this was the Doctor... Of course he'd name the TARDIS 'Sexy'.
"I'd normally go about rescuing him on my own, quite easily in fact, however I've had bad experiences with the Himalayas that best not be repeated." she said, grimacing as she thought back.
Sarah Jane nodded, looking over her shoulder at the TARDIS.
"If the Doctor isn't with you, how did you get here?"
She grinned, beginning to walk backwards slowly.
"I flew her of course."
Sarah Jane watched eyes wide as River raised her eyebrow in question, continuing to walk backwards towards the TARDIS. As far as she knew, only the Doctor could fly the TARDIS. Placing her Sonic in her pocket, she turned to Luke and K9.
"Stay here and keep an eye on things. Use Mr Smith if you need to contact me."
Luke nodded, disappointed that he wouldn't be joining his mother on what was sure to be an interesting adventure.
"Have fun."
Sarah glanced at the TARDIS, River leaning against the door watching them.
"Maybe." She replied, kissing his cheek and heading in to the TARDIS.
As she stepped out, she was only slightly amazed that they'd managed to appear in what looked to be the Himalayas. The Doctor had some trouble when it came to landing the blue box, and sometimes would end up in a completely different place than where they were supposed to end up. River, from what she saw, simply flicked two controls and pulled a lever, and had apparently parked her. She hadn't felt, or heard, a thing!
She trudged through the snow, following River as they climbed the mountain. River stopped just a few yards from a cave, turning to look at Sarah Jane.
"This is where you come in."
Sarah Jane crouched down next to her, where they hid behind a relatively large boulder. She peaked over the edge, eyes narrowing as she saw a shadow move from just inside the cave's mouth.
"And what is it you want me to do?" She asked, moving her head to see if she could spot the movement again.
"I'm going to cause a distraction, and I need you to sneak in and get the Doctor out. Himalayan caves and I don't get along very well."
She glanced at the blonde beside her, curious about the statement. When it was made clear the River wouldn't be answering her, she nodded, pulling the Sonic from her waistcoat pocket and crept around the boulder. When she turned back… River was gone.
She breathed in deeply, a warm feeling taking over her body. This was something she used to do with the Doctor. It felt good to be back to old times.
A green blaster shot hit the mouth of the cave, drawing an 8 foot creature to crawl outside. Standing on four legs, Sarah Jane wondered how tall it was be should it stand. It had six eyes, black beady ones that blinked at different times. Two great big fluffy tails rose up on its back, blending in to its white fur. It growled menacingly, shooting off to chase after a now sprinting River Song. Sarah Jane ran, entering the cave with heaving breaths. She held up the Sonic, lighting up the cave. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped just slightly.
"Oh my god."
There was the Doctor, white, fluffy hat sitting atop his head, the ears sticking up. But that wasn't what surprised her. No. It was more the 20 or so infant creatures that surrounded him, rolling over his legs and pulling on his red bowtie. He seemed to be enjoying himself, smiling at them and making growling noises. He appeared to be holding a one-sided conversation with the Locreté children. Though, if she thought about it, he really could have.
"Doctor?"
The Doctor looked up, grinning from ear to ear as he caught sight of her.
"Sarah Jane!"
He jumped to his feet, causing one of the children to tumble of his legs. Looking down, he growled what she assumed was an apology, before running at her and embracing her tightly, causing her to stumble back.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, pulling back to look at her, his hands still on her shoulders.
"I came here with River. She said you needed rescuing." She answered, confused. From what she saw… He didn't need rescuing at all.
"River's here? Oh brilliant. What do you think? Of her that is."
She shrugged, frowning at him.
"She's… Different than your other companions."
He grinned again, winking at her as he did.
"That's because she's not my companion."
Frowning at him, she stared questioningly.
"So then who is she?"
"His wife." Came the reply, though not from the Doctor.
Turning, the looked to the mouth of the cave, seeing River standing on hand on her hip, the other holding her gun. Sarah Jane looked between the two.
"Now I'm starting to understand."
He grinned at her, while River rolled her eyes. Sarah Jane smiled, leaning down to scratch one of the baby creatures behind the ear. She had a sudden thought, standing up abruptly.
"Wait. River? Where's the Locreté?"
River winked, turning to the side to gesture outside.
"We should probably going. It should be on its way back by now."
And with that, she took off running, ignoring the Doctor's shout.
"Back? Back from where? RIVER!"
Sarah Jane found herself alone in the cave, tiny fluffy creatures surrounding her. Rolling her eyes, she ran after them. Entering the TARDID, she caught the end of River speaking.
"…shouldn't have gone there in the first place then."
She walked up the steps to see the Doctor witting in a seat, arms crossed over his chest and pouting. She raised her eyebrow at River, seeing the once white, fluffy hat burning black on the console.
"What happened?"
River shrugged, smiling at her.
"Shot his hat."
Sarah Jane furrowed her brow, looking between a smug River and a sulking Doctor.
"Why?"
The Doctor huffed, throwing his arms out.
"It's what she does. Shoots my hats."
River rolled her eyes, grinning at Sarah Jane as the Doctor returned to pouting.
"He's in a time out."
The Doctor mumbled, shooting Sarah Jane a glare as she laughed. A time out? She doubted that'd ever happened to the Doctor before. Though as she watched River circle the console, she thought maybe it had. How long had they been married?
Luke looked up as his mother entered, moving to the window to wave at the grinning Doctor. River rolled her eyes, smiling at her before pulling him in to the TARDIS, him protesting the whole way. Shaking her head, she turned to her son.
"Have a good time?" He asked, a book lying forgotten on his lap.
She sighed, shaking her head.
"An… Interesting one."
She sat down, tapping her fingers on her desk.
"Mr Smith!"
"Yes Sarah Jane?"
Grinning, she turned to the computer.
"If we need anything… Put River Song on the list of people to contact."
Looking down at her journal, she picked up a pen, ignoring Luke's inquiring gaze. Beginning a new entry, she thought about River and the Doctor. If anyone could keep up with the Doctor… She thought River Song was the perfect woman for the job.
