[It’s one of those weird weekend’s Rose has noted and at least for today she is not cursed. Yesterday however was a different story. She’s walking through some foliage with a book in her hand not paying attention to her surroundings or the fact that her device has turned on accidentally.]

Maybe I should...

It’s like reading radio instructions with this one. Hardly a map at all.

[The book lowers from her face and she looks around at the grave stones. A curious expression covers her face.]

This is a new one.

[missrosetyler]

A whole planet? That's must be amazin'. Never heard of Vashta Nerada. What are they?

Archaeologists?

[Looks over at him curiously.]

[reallygreathair]

Yeah, they were...long story. The Vashta Nerada, yeah, nasty things. Literally eat you alive before you even know it.

[Avoids looking at her.]

The archaeologists were there to catalog. There was Miss Evangelista, Strackman Lux, Proper Dave, Other Dave, River, Anita...

[missrosetyler]

That doesn't sound pleasant.

[Crosses her arms against her chest and notices him avoiding her gaze.]

Proper Dave, Other Dave...? River...

[Obviously she doesn't like that name.]

So that's where you met her then?

[reallygreathair]

Yeah. That's where. And it bothered me. Still does...

[Has an idea.]

Let me ask you something, Rose, maybe you can help. I mean, you're a woman, right? I mean, obviously you are...

[missrosetyler]

Yeah, what about it?

[Looks a little puzzled.]

Go on...

[reallygreathair]

[Talking fast.]

Suppose you meet a bloke who knows a lot about you. He's from your future, and he tells you all these things you've done together, or will do together, and then you give him your sonic. You give it to them willingly. They say they didn't pry it from your cold dead hand, I don't know, but you figure out why you do it. You follow?

[missrosetyler]

Yeah.

[Taking it all in slowly but keeps up.]

Go on...

[reallygreathair]

Why would you tell this person who claims to be from your future, obviously is...Why would you tell them the one thing you've never told anyone. Under what circumstances would you do that?

[missrosetyler]

[She thinks for a moment and her expression becomes completely crestfallen.]

I suppose I can only really think of 2...

One being...

[She nods over to one of the gravestones that appears to be withered.]

[reallygreathair]

[Nodding.]

And the other?

[missrosetyler]

[She can't meet his gaze and looks away sadly.]

If they were really special to me and I could never ever see them again.

[reallygreathair]

What do you mean?

[missrosetyler]

Like the sort of situation that happens sometimes. Dimensions sealing off. And...

[Finally she glances over with a sad expression.]

That's what you were gonna say that day, yeah?

[reallygreathair]

What? No. What? I don't know. I mean, I don't know under what circumstances they are because it hasn't happened yet, and it's going to bother me until I find out!

[missrosetyler]

Or maybe they were just having you on this entire time. Maybe they're from your planet, yeah?

[It's a theory.]

Or maybe...

[Oh she is tried of this River Song and she hasn't even met her.]

I dunno. Maybe you'll run into her here one day and find out.

[reallygreathair]

No. If she was a Time Lord, I'd know. Trust me.

[Runs a hand through his hair.]

It's a time traveler's worst nightmare--meeting someone from your future who knows so much and you don't know how they know it.

[missrosetyler]

Are you sure? 'Cos you've been wrong before.

[Looks over at him.]

Don't think I've ever had that problem.

[reallygreathair]

Time Lords know. It's...it's difficult to explain, but we know.

[missrosetyler]

Alright well.

[Ponders again although she doesn't like where her thoughts are leading her...]

Remember that bit you mentioned about getting inside people's heads and vice versa, yeah?

Maybe you both got into a situation and it sort of spiraled and you let her in.

[reallygreathair]

No. I've never met this woman before the library.

[missrosetyler]

I know. But like future you. The one with the...

[Stops herself.]

[reallygreathair]

Future me? You mean past me? No, he's never met her.

[missrosetyler]

No. I mean like future you. The one with the hat fetish.

You haven't...Sorry. Forget it, yeah?

[reallygreathair]

What do you...No! Past me. Hat fetish and all. Are you listening?

[missrosetyler]

You...Right.

Of course I am.

[She winces and rubs her temples.]
