From the Diaries of River Song
& 11th Doctor

Entry #1

Dear Diary,
The Doctor gave you to me yesterday after I was admitted here to the Liberty healthcare facility. I passed out after saving his life which used up all of my spare regenerations; at first I questioned myself as to if it was truly worth it. I saw then who I River Melody Song, am supposed to be in the future years to come. I realized with the help of my Mum and Dad that I would live a better, brighter future if the Doctor lived. What’s so complicated about us is that well, we walk on two separate time streams that never seem to come together. Every time the two of us will meet I will know him more and more, while on his end he will know me less and less. I heard him say yesterday before I became completely unconscious that this diary would serve as a key so that we would both know where we were on each other’s time stream and so that neither of us would break the oh so fragile paths that we have to walk on. I sure hope one of them comes to visit me today I am starting to get rather bored in this hospital bed without a soul to talk to, not to mention rather lonely. I just now noticed that the binding to this diary looks exactly like the outside of the TARDIS. Even though for most of my life I’ve had no real place to call home I consider the TARDIS as my home, why? Because she likes me, takes care of me and she knows the secrets about our future that we don’t. It was the TARDIS that somehow told me that I had a mum and dad even telling me who they are, sadly they don’t know yet and the Doctor says they won’t until much later. The strange thing is I’ve known them both all of my life they were my childhood friends while I was growing up. Amelia and Rory pond… I can remember those times as if they were yesterday. I was Mel’s and I was always getting into trouble, so often that my Mum Amelia thought that trouble was my middle name. One time though my trouble making was for the sake of my Mum. You see because of her I have known the Doctor since I was eight years old, one particular day while I was at her home she showed me a collection of things she had of the Doctor. There was this one stuffed toy though that was the most special to her; she had made it by hand and memory. To this day I say it’s rather amazing of how she did that, but I know that the Doctor is close to her their like best friends. One day she brought the doll to school for show and tell and during recess she told Rory and I all about how funny he was when they first met. Well Tom the playground bully thought it would be funny to steal Mum’s doll from her and he wouldn’t give it back, laughing at her and calling her names. I had enough of his games and finally I challenged him to a fist match for the doll. I got the doll back but not before he could chop the head off and I still got into trouble for starting a fight. I wouldn’t have had that day any other way though; to me I say it was a rather amazing victory. What can I say? You make fun of my friends, you pay the consequences. I know those stories are past me now though and I certainly know with Doctor, my Mum and my Dad I’ll have a bright and exciting future ahead of me.
