Classy Girl

The New York streets were buzzing as people ran from sidewalk to sidewalk. The city air was cool and the sun broke out like shards through the tall buildings. Quietly muffled by the hum of the city a low wheezing sound could be heard as a blue police box suddenly materialised into a small back alleyway in mid town Manhattan. Out of the blue box came a young man with floppy hair a tweed jacket , suspenders and a red bow tie. The doctor, he breathed in the humid air smiling as he set off down through the famous city.

The old wooden doors swung open on their hinges as the doctor walked into the lower Manhattan bar. His eyes scanned the dark room until he found the women he was looking for , the doctor smiled to himself knowingly and proceeded towards her, but she spoke before he could sit down.

"Hello sweetie, your late" the woman said with her back still to him.

"Ah yes sorry about that I got caught up with some tricky business involving the kre'ets , lovely species, that is until you accidentally mortally insult their leader by making a joke about Teletubbies..." he trailed off motioning some sort of antenna with his arms "anyway"

The doctor slowly made his way around the woman to sit next to her. Taking in the sight of her longingly, she was wearing a figure hugging black dress with tortoise shell sunglasses, her hair was tied up in a twisted bun on the top of her head, she was breath taking.

"Would you like a drink ma'am?" The bartender asked her smiling slightly.
"Espresso martini please"
"And for you sir?" He asked the doctor
"Ooh I'll have a banana milkshake please"
The woman silently rolled her eyes a small smile pulling at her painted lips.

"When are we then?" She asked pulling a blue diary out of her bag. "Do you know who I am?"

"Yes" the doctor replied.
"Ok..." she flicked through her book gently caressing the pages as she passed them. "Frost fair?"
He nodded watching her eyes suddenly dart down to his left hand. No ring she thought to herself.

"Well we're all caught up then" she concluded.
"What were you looking for?" The doctor asked confused.
She smirked slowly her hazel grey irises meeting green ones before answering.
"Spoilers"
The doctor shook his head chuckling quietly to himself at the wonderful woman in front of him. The woman with so many names ,Melody Pond, The Impossible Astronaut, The woman who kills the doctor and his favourite, River Song.

He suddenly gasped grinning like a mad man at River "Have you seen my new hat?"

"Oh god no not another fez" River lightly teased "Because I might have to shoot it"
The doctor pulled a shocked hurt expression gasping "You wouldn't?!"

River keeping her expression straight placed her hand on the doctors leg. "Oh honey, I would"
Their quick report of flirting was interrupted when the bartender placed down their drinks.

"One espresso martini for the lady and a banana milkshake for the man, that will be $7"
River handed over the money thanking the bartender . She then turned back to the doctor encouragingly.
"Go on then let's see the new hat your so eager to show me"

He smiled in response and pulled a deerstalker out from his 'bigger on the inside' pockets.
"What do you think?" The doctor asked proudly placing in on his head.

"Oh dear god does your dress sense get worse as you get younger?" She replied. The doctor looked hurt for a second before replying. "I wasn't sure on it either, I mean is it a cap? Why does it have two fronts?"

"It's a deerstalker" River interjected despairingly.
"How do you stalk a deer with a hat? What are meant to do, throw it?Some sort of death frisbee?"

"Sweetie it's just a hat" River tried again but the doctor continued "It's got flaps, ear flaps! It's an ear hat!" He finally concluded. (Bonus points for anyone who knows where I got the doctors lines in that part)

River laughed lightly at him "Yes so it is". The doctor looked down at River memorising her face and how happy she looked , he knew that she was going to die, everyday he cursed his younger self for not being able to save her. The memory of her sacrifice was always lurking in the back of his mind.

River was talking about some adventure she had been on but the doctor wasn't really listening as his eyes took in her features. Without thinking he lifted his fingers up to her face gently tracing her cheek bone.

"Doctor?" She asked his movement stopping her words. He moved closer towards her. But before he got any further she placed a swift kiss on the side of his face and pulled back smirking.

"You should know by now that classy girls don't kiss in bars" River teased. "Is that so Miss Song? Then where do they kiss?"

She paused for a second the doctor hanging on to her words.
"Spoilers"
With that she stood up picked up her bag and walked to the door.
"Oh and sweetie I'm married. Not Miss Song"
The doctor sat there dumb struck.
"So, you coming then?" River asked provocatively.

The doctor hurried after her back on to the streets of New York. Muttering to himself quietly he said "River Song you are outrageous".
She turned and smiled at him.

"I know"
