Chapter Twenty (Doctor`s Point of View)

(Now Listen to: "The Last Night: Skillet")

River knocked on my door. "Doctor, it`s been an hour! Stop moping around!"

"You don`t understand, River!" I yelled back. "It`s your fault, anyway!"

"Don`t make me come in there," She growled.

I groaned, slowly walked to the door, unlocked it, and sat on my bed covering my face with my hooves.

"Now, who was that?" She asked, taking a seat on a chair I had in the corner of my room.

"Ditzy Doo..."

"And why was Ditzy Doo so important? Tell me everything."

"I loved her, River, more than I`ve ever loved anyone else EVER. That`s a lot for me to admit, and you know that. She knew all of my secrets, not including my name, that`s a given... Blimey, I really messed up...

"She was the first one I met in Ponyville. The TARDIS acted up and brought me here, and Ditzy was there just... watching. We`ve been through so much."

"You loved her more than Rose Tyler? Sorry to say her name..."

"Yes, I do," I admitted. "I really, really do."

"But... what happened?"

"Are you stupid, River?" I yelled. "YOU showed up, and she got the wrong idea of YOU!"

"Oi, I wouldn`t have said that if I knew you two were dating!"

"You shouldn`t have come at all," I muttered. "Now look at me! She thinks I was cheating on her with YOU!"

"I`ll admit, you look like you got hit by a train."

"If my hearts could regenerate the same way we do, they would have regenerated twice today," I told her.

"That bad, huh..."

"Now she probably won`t even talk to me. I made her cry, River! I made her CRY!" Tears of my own started to pour out of my eyes. "I feel like a monster!"

"Settle down," River instructed me.

"I can`t! How can I, River? How...?" I buried my face deeper into my hooves. "I`ve messed up... This is my entire fault!"

"Yes, it is, but I know how you can make this up to her. Win back her heart!"

"God, you make it seem so easy..."

"I`m a girl, and I know exactly what girls like and don`t like," She smiled.

"Ditzy wasn`t ordinary, alright...? You can`t truly think – you`ve went into the future, didn`t you?"

"Spoilers," She raised a hoof to her lips.

"River, please, whatever is going to happen shouldn`t be forced. She might need time to cope, you know?" I had slowed down but I was still crying. I wiped away a few tears.

"You`re a sorry sap of stallion, aren`t you," She whispered.

"Obviously," I muttered. "Please, just leave me to my thoughts. I need some time to think..."

"Whatever you say, Doc," And with that she left.

"It`s GONE… It`s all GONE!"

I shook her voice from my head and slowly got up off of my bed. I thought of what might make her know it wasn`t like that, that I wasn`t doing anything with River.

"A letter," I weakly smiled, sitting at the table with a pen and paper.
