"Here we are Unit base, say hello to Kate for me won't you?" the Doctor waved off Martha and Mickey, who waved and chuckled at a still drunk Jack, who had fallen off a table near the end of the night and though perfectly fine, had slept all through the night since then. He was being escorted back to his flat where he would wake and have the most ear splitting headache known to man after daring Mickey to a Acinni cocktail challenge, winning then proceeding to have five more.
The Doctor shut the doors and noticed River typing in coordinates. Clara and the children were preparing themselves for the adventure the Doctor planed. The Doctor snuck up behind her and squashed her thighs against the console and kissed his way from her collar bone up to her lips before she turned and he let his hands explore her and her hands explore him, a repeat of last night. Just when things were getting interesting, the Doctor heard an awkward cough and broke apart from his wife. Both looked toward the sound and saw Clara, eyebrow raised and arms folded, and the children, with faces mixed with shock and disgust. "What?" the Doctor said innocently, brushing his hair back, where it had been dishevelled by River's roaming hands. "Really? That's all you can say. It's like catching your parents kissing." Clara berated them both then looked to the children, still in complete shock. "Sorry I forgot, they just caught their parents kissing. And you said it wasn't a snog box!" The Doctor noticed a blush creeping up River's cheeks.
"Well, we were just saying," the Doctor stuttered "hello..." he coughed and saw River giving him a withering look. A silence fell over the TARDIS occupants. River suddenly moved and finished typing in coordinates as before then turned to the Doctor. "Time for your present, I think." she purred. The Doctor smiled and rubbed his hands with glee. River flew the TARDIS with ease then landed her with a smooth and pristine grace of a trained hand. "Com'on, otherwise we'll miss it!" she said grabbing his hand and turned to Clara "You as well! All of us, a family outing!" she grabbed Clara's hand and rushed out the ship into a playing field. "London, 2014, lovely place for duck feeding, isn't it." she waved her hand over to a bench with a lone occupant.
"Donna?" the Doctor breathed. He was about to walk over when River stopped him. "She doesn't remember you, I can't fix that but the children and I thought of a certain someone who Donna may find happiness with." the Doctor stopped and waited. Then a flash of lightning appeared along with River, in her wedding dress, the children and a man the Doctor didn't recognise.
"You won't know his face, but his name may be familiar. Go on listen in!" she pushed him forward. Clara walked up till she was beside River.
"What did you mean by 'family outing'?" she asked.
River smiled, "He doesn't have many associates, and even fewer friends. So in a way, we're all his family, it's just some have more of a claim to him than others. I hope we can be friends Clara, he really likes you, I hope you know that. I won't be with him all the time but you can be. He always needs a friend; he doesn't always need his wife." River looked to Clara and Clara smiled, "I think we're friends already. Besides I was your bridesmaid and we both like mystery novels, except apparently you were in a few." both women smiled then as the Doctor bounded back and pulled River into his arms.
"Lee! Lee McAvoy! The man Donna thought she was married to in the Library. They hit it off straight away, you did tell him about the past right. 2014 is no 51st century, there's no phone implants or spaceships, but they do have real green spaces, not artificial ones..."
"Yes, yes dear, we told him. He wanted Donna so badly, he would come to the library every day just to see if she was there. I thought I could put your mind at rest." River said, cutting the Doctor's ramblings short.
"Thank you!" he kissed her cheek "Well while we're all here, let's go play!" he tapped Charlotte and ran off shouting that she was it causing both Ella and Josh to run full pelt away from the small girl. River and Clara both looked at each other. "Always with the running!" Clara shouted across to River as both women ran for cover in the trees. Charlotte caught the Doctor who then ran in search of his wife. "All this running does mad things to my hair!" River muttered back to Clara as they hid. Both stifled a laugh as the Doctor walked by. They smiled at each other again. "We're definitely friends River." Clara thought happily.
