He had told the TARDIS to take him where he needed to go, and so she had, careering through the stars on a brand new adventure. The Ponds were up in bed in their brand new, extremely boring, non bunkbed bed, and whatever they were doing, he had no desire to know.

The sound of the TARDIS materialising into her cell was enough to rouse River from her sleep. She made a soft noise of confusion, rubbing at her eyes and slowly rolling onto her back. She then blinked suddenly, seeing the large blue time machine parked directly next to her bed. Any closer and he would've landed on top of her.

River sat up quickly, her hair even wilder from her sleep. She tilted her head, watching the Doctor as he glared in annoyance at the TARDIS. A slow smile crossed her lips, able to work out what had gone on.

The Doctor looked back at River when she spoke.

"No," he said, "shush. It's this stupid machine," he said and kicked the edge of the TARDIS, stubbing his toe in the process and hopping around, taking hold of his foot.
