Fourth Entry

[suewnsong]

[There's no rule against having Christmas themed dreams a few days late, is there? If there is, it's not one River Song ever paid any mind to. Of course, all of the music and decorations are contained in a rusty space ship-looking room, but without windows it might be anything from an old warehouse to a submarine. An excessively roomy submarine

So go ahead. [Ami, dressed to be noticed, nods towards the feat that could... very generously... be called dancing, and then glances back to River.] If you're planning to do better, show them.

[She takes a sip of a non-alcoholic drink in its own crystal goblet, and watches the trio over the edge of the rim as she raises the glass to her lips. They seem... happy - no, contented. Like they don't need anything else, just each other. She knows the Doctor of course, but the other two are a mystery to her and something about the close-knit way they act with each other seems to forbid greeting him and having their eyes on her.

Funny she should feel that way again.]

[suewnsong]

Oh, he'll only pout all night as if I'd told him he couldn't wear his bow-tie. [She arches an eyebrow and glances at the younger woman.] Besides, I've already done that. What's the fun in repeating ourselves?

[waterfell]

[Something in her wants to insist the Doctor can't just go off by himself with those other two. But it'd sound strange to say, wouldn't it? With poor grace, she swallows it down, and focuses on River instead.]

I didn't see you dance. Until I do, I don't believe it, either. Show me.

[suewnsong]

[But this is a night just for them. She interrupted it once, she doesn't want to again. Instead, she focuses on her guest.]

Are you asking me to a dance, then?

[thatoldthatkind]

Now, River. why would you ever do that?

[ Hello, River darling. ]

[suewnsong]

[Why, Doctor, are you spying on her dreams? She glances over at the not-dancing Doctor and laughs.] Why would I save Christmas? I suppose I might be feeling generous.

[ Because he has to make sure Melody Pond is safe! ] I was hoping you'd say "Because, Doctor, it's a great present for Mum and dad."
