Random Imagines {REQUESTS ON HOLD}

Eleven x River {Requested} (fluff)

For ily_OUAT

Written for the song Philadelphia by Parachute. Its gonna be kinda confusing but we all know that her timeline with the doctor is really f-d up so we're going to leave it confusing.

~~~~~

"Hello, Doctor." The eccentric timelord turned around and pulled River into a hug.

"Yes, hello River. Meant to say it. Bit busy. Oods in Manhattan." River nodded, watching him run in circles around the console. He was younger than she remembered, his hair shorter and his bowtie crooked. She had an urge to fix it, but she knew she shouldn't. They were going in opposite directions, he would find out very soon why to keep his boy tie straight.

"If I'd known you were coming I'd have kept Amy and Rory on board," he said, pulling a lever and turning to look at her.

"Ah, yes. I planned this," River said,"In fact, I'll have you drop me off at home with them in a bit, just after you dropped them off." The Doctor looked confused and River stepped towards him, but before she got half way to him the TARDIS whirred. There was a note on the console. 

Liz the 10th is waiting - come alone

"I best be doing that on my own then," The Doctor said, once again moving around and pressing buttons. River hit different ones, counteracting the movements that The Doctor didn't intend to make. She wanted to see her parents, not land on the Lost Moon of Poosh. 

They landed with a loud wheezing, something that The Doctor always wanted to stay. 

"I will see you soon."

"I'll see you sooner." River kissed him slowly and then ran out the door without a word.

"Doctor!" The man swung around, looking into the crowd. He seemed confused and then his eyes landed on River, shifting past for just a microsecond before returning to her face.

"River! Come on!" He carried on running and River sighed, starting to chase after him. She found the TARDIS in an alley, the doors swinging open for her, but the Doctor was not inside. Amy was inside, looking confused.

"River? What are you doing here?" River was tempted to run over to her mother, but she noticed the lack of a ring on her finger.

"Oh, just following the Doctor, as usual. What's going on?" Amy seemed fazed, but shrugged.

"I'm not quite sure. He told me to come in here and then yelled when I followed him, so I came back here." River's eyebrows knitted together. The Doctor rarely yelled at Amy, only when it had to do with... Rory. She remembered the story that he'd told her about Amy loosing Rory to the... then she forgot.

"Oh, well I must wait here with you. Just in case." Amy nodded a little bit, looking down at her left hand like she was missing something. She was missing something. A few minutes of awkward silence later The Doctor ran through the doors, starting to fly away before saying anything. Once they were safely in space he realized River was still there.

"Yes, hello River. Could I drop you somewhere?" 

"A ship headed towards the Andoraa Galaxy would be good," she suggested, making the ship go where she wanted it. The Doctor stared in semi-horror, having forgotten about River's uncanny ability to fly the TARDIS better than him.

"It really is better when it makes the noise," he huffed, when River stopped the ship with a muted thump.

"I'll be seeing you." The Doctor didn't doubt it as River pecked him on the cheek and left.

"Doctor?" The man turned, barely any recognition. He was so young, too young. River nearly turned away because of the way he looked at her. She could see him wracking his brain for a name. It only took him a moment, but he used to kiss her with the same second of thought. 

"River? What are you doing here?" The connotation in his voice made her nervous, like he was never expecting to see her again. 

"Yes, I... Nevermind. It's been good seeing you." The Doctor didn't go after her when she walked away and all she could think about was that first time she'd seen him. Not when she had become River from Melody, but when Amy told her about the Doctor and his magic box. 

"He's not magic," Amy sighed again, "He's got a time traveling box, tha's not magic."  Melody was tempted to laugh. Amy thought she knew the Doctor, the same way that Melody thought being around her parents would be easy. Rory walked by and Amy ignored his waving. Melody bit her tongue to stop from calling out to him. They would get together on their own time, she was living proof of it.

"How do you know he's going to come back?" Melody wanted to know the same thing.

"I just do."
