[he's standing on his office desk, sunglasses on and holding his guitar]

For anyone that knew her, and even those who don't, Professor River Song went home. Wherever that may be.

[uploaded into a library, he knows. But for now. Only for now]

We've lost a great mind and a good heart.

[then he mutters, almost as if to himself:]

And fare thee well, my bright eyed love.
And fare thee well awhile!
And I will come again, my love,
Though it were ten billion miles

[and he plays a fitting tribute]

... Not being able to see someone important to you is never easy.

[Masaru says, recalling how his mom reacted when his father never came home.]

I'm sorry, chicken guy.

[She looks sad to hear that.] She did? ...She never got to give me that tour of the Tardis.

[justabitunlikely]

I think I'm going to miss her. I liked her quite a bit, dad.

[ Martha looks heartbroken when she pops up on his screen. ]

Again? But she just got back!

[guitar_hero]

It happens. Life goes on. The great wheel of the galaxy turns...and goodbyes, well, are just a prelude to a hello somewhere else.

[guitar_hero]

There are three currently to get tours in. Just need to pick your flavor. Grunge, pompous or badass.

[Video]

[guitar_hero]

I did too. But there's a chance you'll see her again. You never know with Professor Song where and when she'll turn up.

[ Video ]

[guitar_hero]

And so it goes. But don't worry, Doctor Jones. There's always a chance for a second meeting somewhere down the line.

[ Martha doesn't look soothed, because she isn't soothed. She can't help thinking that River's unhappiness before she left the first time is behind this, but there's no evidence they can affect their departures, is there? ]

Yeah, well. I won't live near as long as you, will I? And our paths didn't cross in her timeline before here.

[howamanlives]

Wow. That's like. A super poetic way of putting it.

You a writer, Chicken Doc?

[guitar_hero]

I have been. I dabble occasionally. And I'm the Profesor, not Chicken Doc, thank you.

[ Video ]

[guitar_hero]

Well you're not dead yet, are you? So long as you draw breath, Martha Jones, so long as you're alive, there's always a chance for a reunion. Whose to say she won't return here? Don't give up home just because you think you can see the end of the line because I guarantee you, you do not.

Re: [ Video ]

[storiesofmyown]

Oh don't go being logical about it! [ She sighs, since it's not him she's narky with. ] Thank you for trying, but I think River's worth my grieving about for a little while, at least, yeah?

Honestly, though, I ought to be comforting you. I am sorry, Doctor.

[a variation on an old classic gag]

[howamanlives]

Ah, kay. I didn't know what else to call you.

But Professor, huh? Professor what?

[a variation on an old classic gag]

[guitar_hero]

Whatever. Right now, second base. [a grin]

[ Video ]

[guitar_hero]

Don't worry about it. Grieve all you need to but please don't worry about me.

[howamanlives]

.. Huh? Second base? What does baseball have to do with this?

Re: [ Video ]

[storiesofmyown]

[ Quietly ] I always worry about you, Doctor.

Re: [Video]

[justabitunlikely]

Perhaps. We'll see someday won't we.

[Video]

[fairysoul]

[Carefully...] Yours is the badass one, right?

[guitar_hero]

Because who is on first.

Though honestly at this point I'm I don't know.

[Video]

[guitar_hero]

It depends on whose asking. But yes. Yes it is.

[Video]

[guitar_hero]

We will. [a pause] Did you get to know her well?

[ Video ]

[guitar_hero]

I know... But I'm perfectly fine. This isn't the first and it won't be the last.

[Video]

[fairysoul]

[She's not quite sure what you mean by that but she refrains from asking. She has a much more important question, anyway.]

Would you give me a tour of your Tardis?
