Ten was doing something under the TARDIS console when Rose came in the morning after. She had been up most of the night think of way to get 'her' Doctor back. She thought doing little things like cooking and cleaning might be a good place to start, as well as that spending some time alone together might be good.
"Where's Eleven?" She asked when she finally noticed Ten under the console. "Still in bed I think" he said not looking up from what he was doing. "And River?" "Same I think." "OK thanks." For nothing, she thought as she walked in the direction of the kitchen. Breakfast in bed, perfect way to start she thought. I bet River never does that.
She spent a while cooking a huge breakfast for him, bacon, sausage, eggs, the works. She put it all on a tray complete with tea and carried it to his bedroom. It was there she saw a sight that made her drop the tray and want to be sick.
When she got to his room she quietly knocked on the door and whispered "Doctor." She didn't wait for permission to go in and she gently opened the door. The room was lovely. The walls were blue, TARDIS blue to be exact, there were stars instead of a ceiling and in the centre of the bedroom was a big bed with crisp, white sheets. There were two occupants to the bed but she didn't realise this until she got closer.
River immediately felt the presence of someone else in the room. River being River kept a gun under her pillow in case of emergency, and this was definitely an emergency. She silently slipped her hand under the pillow and held the gun tight. In a second she sat up and aimed the gun squarely at Rose, as well as making sure the sheets didn't fall lower then her chest. The shock made Rose drop the tray and the noise woke up the Doctor in a flash. "Rose" he yelped "what are you doing in here?" Rose didn't know what she was going to do. Scream, throw up or simply pass out. Then she got an even bigger shock as she noticed they were both completely naked.
River lowered her gun and reached for her dressing gown. It was made of silk with a simple but pretty flower pattern. She put it on. "You two need to talk." She said sternly "I'm going for a shower." She lent over to kiss the Doctor, slid out of the bed and out the room.
"Was that what I think it was?" Rose asked. "That was me in bed with my wife. Problem?" He asked, a bit annoyed that Rose was in his and Rivers bedroom. Nobody was allowed in there, it was their place. "Was there something you wanted?" He asked a different question, not waiting for an answer to his first one. "I came to bring you breakfast" Rose replied simply "I wasn't expecting her to be in here." She huffed. "She's my wife, what were you expecting?" He asked sarcastically. "Not that, that's for sure." Rose snapped. "Look Rose. From now on don't come in here unless it's an emergency. Like life or death stakes. Got it?" "Got it." Rose left the room with a bitter taste in her mouth.
She walked past a bathroom on her way back to the console room and could hear River singing in the shower. On top of everything she had a beautiful singing voice. This is going to be harder then I thought, she thought to herself. Instead of going to the console room she went to her bedroom to think of a new plan. She was going to have her happy ending with the Doctor, and she realised in order to do that, she would have to play dirty.

Ten, Eleven and River were in the control room. They were underneath the console chatting loudly and doing something with the TARDIS when Rose came in with tea and jammy dodgers. She had decided to make nice with River for a while to get close to Eleven again. "Tea and biscuits for the workers." She called. "Oh fantastic. Thanks Rose." Eleven smiled. He had decided to forgive her for the mornings debacle after River had convinced him she meant well, even though she would have happily shot her for trying to steal her man.
The three of them came up and sat on the steps with Rose for a tea break. They were talking and laughing when the lights went out and a voice came booming through the TARDIS. "Well well your all being nice to each other. How sweet." "That's not possible. He's dead." Eleven breathed "Well that's not very nice is it Doctor." "Master, your dead. How can you be doing this?" Eleven shouted "I escaped into the void, and stayed there until my wounds were healed. When I tried to cross back over to this universe, the crack I went through was closed." He answered his question.
"The crack in mum's bedroom wall?" River voice quivered "Yes Miss Song. Oh no of course it's Mrs now isn't it? The woman who married the Doctor. You've done well for yourself." The Master's voice was cold and unfeeling "Leave her alone!" Eleven shouted again "Sweetie, its ok." River reassured him "Right then Master, I've heard all about you, so what's the plan?" "Why should I tell you?" "Because you've got two Doctors trapped here and you want to gloat." "Oh she's good, I can see why you married her Doctor. Ok I'll tell you."
"I've been in the void for countless years trying to find a way back to the universe. Not only did I find a way, I found a way to hurt you at the same time." The Master explained "I've taken over the TARDIS conscience while I find a suitable host to manifest myself in your universe. Oh don't worry I've left enough of it to continue making you food and rooms when you need them." "Why would you let us live? Why would you not just kill us?" Eleven spat.
"Normally I would but as I don't know how long it will be before I can find a suitable host I need entertainment. So I'm going to keep you as my pets, two Doctors and their loves who better to provide in flight entertainment." "Exactly. Two Doctors, Bad Wolf and the child of the TARDIS. You know we are going to stop you, so why bother?" River called "Oh no you are not, because if you try to stop me I will bring her back." The Master said with a slight tinge of smugness in his voice. "Who?" Ten shouted "The woman who haunts your dreams, and fuels your nightmares Doctor Song" "No" River whispered into darkness "You can't, she's dead" "Who's dead?" Rose asked "I've got a time machine. Nobody's dead to me." The Master said ignoring Roses question "You try and stop me I will bring Madame Kovarian and the Silence back. You be good and let me get on, you can live. You mess around and try to stop me, I will let Madame Kovarian kill you all. Now then things to do, gotta fly." The Masters voice left and lightness returned to the room. River collapsed on the floor and buried her head in her hands.
Eleven ran over to her and held her close. "Not again, please god not again." River begged "Shhh, it's ok River, I won't let her hurt you. Not again." Eleven comforted her. "What if she takes me again? I can't be forced to kill you again, the universe barely survived last time." "She will not take you again. River look at me." He held her chin and forced her to look in his eyes. Hers were filled with tears "I promise you, Madame Kovarian will never hurt you again." He gently wiped away a tear for Rivers face and she collapsed into him, holding on for dear life. The only time she ever felt scared and vulnerable was around Madame Kovarian. The woman who destroyed her childhood. "Erm are we gonna get an explanation or something?" Rose inquired suddenly feeling awkward around the couple. "Yes of course" River wiped the last of her tears away and stood up "but we may need to sit down. It's a long story."
