It's been forever since I uploaded anything fanfiction related. I feel bad about that, but I've been focusing on my original stories and real life things instead. And as such, this is the (unofficial) last chapter of this story. I may write more in the future if inspiration strikes, but I wrote this chapter a long time ago as the final chapter, and I feel like it's time to share it with you all, especially since it seems like River may be gone for good now. I hope you like it! Thank you so much for reading this! You're all wonderful.


"River," Charlotte intoned shyly. "Can you tell us a bedtime story about the Doctor?"

"Yes, yes!" Ella and Joshua sat excitedly up in their beds. "Please tell us about the Doctor."

"I always tell you a bedtime story about the Doctor," River replied with a smile. She had stopped counting the days since the young Doctor uploaded her into the Library's data-bank. It was futile, to think he could come back for her, and that they could live all the days that never came. But right now, he was living the days that did come, the days when she lived in a humanoid body instead of a computer. Those days would be special to him. And the thought of time being re-written and losing him made her shudder down to her bones.

"I know," Charlotte said in exasperation. "But the Doctor is interesting! And funny!"

"And he lives in the real world!" Joshua said from his bed.

"Alright, alright..." River conceded, and the children cheered. They snuggled deep into their blankets. "Which story do you want to hear? An old one, or a new one?"

The three children thought for a moment, but River already knew what their answer was going to be. Contrary to what most would expect, there was one specific story that was their favorite, all three of them, and they asked for it over and over again whenever she let them choose. Ella finally spoke up, shyly suggesting what the other two were thinking. "Can you tell us the story of the day where everybody lived?"

River smiled once more and nodded, angelic in her dress of white. "Of course I will. I know how much you love that story."

The children grinned in excitement and fell silent, to listen to the story that had been told to River, and now to them. The story of a Time Agent, a shop girl from London, and the day that everybody lived.
