Picnic at Asgard

Chapter Two

"Why won't you just tell me where you're taking me?" River asked, sitting on the sofa. The Doctor hadn't allowed her to lift a finger to do anything.

The Doctor looked at her from the other side of the console. "If I told you it would spoil all the fun."

River sighed. "This isn't gonna turn out like our last adventure is it?"

"Hey! That was an honest mistake!"

"Yes, because I get Space Florida confused with the future New Skaro all the time."

The Doctor frowned, pointing at her. "Hey, we re-wrote time. There's no New Skaro anymore."

"You still got it wrong." she said, smiling at him cheekily.

"I can take you home right now!"

"You could. But you won't."

The Doctor couldn't help but smile. He knew she was right. "No. I won't. But I'm still not telling you."

River frowned, clearly not satisfied. But this only made the Doctor's smile widen. The sounds of the TARDIS's engines as they landed made River leap up and rush to the console screen, but the Doctor snatched it away.

"Spoilers." he said with a grin.

River just glared at him. Still, she took his offered arm and allowed him to lead her to the doors of the TARDIS. He leaned down, his lips at her ear.

"Close your eyes." he whispered.

The breath on her ear made River blush and a chill run down her spine, but she obeyed. She heard the Doctor snap and the TARDIS doors open. He gently led her outside with a hand on her back.

River felt the floor of the TARDIS give way to soft grass. The air was sweet with scents River couldn't identify, but she figured they were probably from the floral life here...wherever and whenever here was...

"Can I open them now?" River asked impatiently.

The Doctor's laughter reached her ears. "No. Just wait a bit longer."

"Why?"

"Spoilers."

River frowned. Oh how she hated when he used that against her... "Fine."

"Don't worry darling. Nearly there." he said. She felt him stop her, and wondered where they were. "Okay sweetie open up."

River obeyed, and gasped at the sight that met her eyes.

"No way!" she exclaimed.

"Way." the Doctor said, kissing her temple. "If it's okay with you."

"Of course!" she hugged him tightly. He laughed. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, sweetie." he said, wrapping his arms around her, loving having her in his arms. "Anything for you."
