Time Crash (Locked to songofsong)

The Doctor stormed into the TARDIS, making certain that the doors slammed shut behind him. That pompous, stuck up Brigadier and his stupid Geneva! As if he cared enough to throw himself about just for them. Didn't they realise he had better things to do?! He was a Time Lord after all. The nerve

The TARDIS gave a lurch that made River stumble and she quickly held onto the wall and waited for the turbulence to stabilise. Really, she left the Doctor alone at the controls for five minutes. Once it felt steady enough to walk, she continued on, only to hear the Cloister bell ring out down the halls.

Sighing, she pushed open the door to the main control room, ready to sweep on down the staircase and fix the navigation for the Time Lord.

"Really, I put the coordinates in for Storm - " she cut herself as she entered, almost stumbling when she didn't go down a step, but rather her boot hit a hard floor. Catching herself, she stared ahead of her. The rusted amber of the TARDIS console was gone, instead replaced with a cool, grey interior, all neat lines and open space.

The Doctor was rubbing his chin, squinting at one particular reading, trying to figure out what the neutron flow was up to when he heard a voice. He whirled around on the spot to find a woman standing in the entrance to the console room looking just as flabbergasted as he felt.

"Who're you?" he asked rudely. Of course, the Doctor is a gentleman of grace and good manners but as far as he was concerned, this was a stowaway. And he didn't like stowaways. Especially from UNIT HQ.

River stood silently for a couple of long seconds before she began to carefully step forward. "I think the most appropriate question here is ... who are you? At least, which version of you?" she asked.

She walked close enough until she was on the other side of the console, still staring at him before she breathed out a soft sound of disbelief, shaking her head as she smiled. This was ridiculous, mad impossible! And yet, wasn't that everything the Doctor ever was?

"I asked you first!" he immediately shot back in a childish manner as he stomped around to her side of the console, so that he could stand close enough to get a good look at her. She didn't look like any of the soldiers in UNIT he'd seen.

"And you seem to know who I am. How did you get in here?" the Doctor was becoming more and more irritated. "I suppose one of those idiotic soldiers promised you a ride through the stars or something similar."
