Flesh and Stone [Part 4 - FINAL]

Beach, Dawn...

Amy was leaning on a rock, wrapped in a blanket. The Doctor was standing next to her with a cleric behind them. Lexi and River were standing a little distance away talking to where no one could really hear them.

"So River, who are you?" Lexi asked not even looking directly at her. She was sort just glancing over at Amy and The Doctor, seeing them chatting about something.

"Spoilers."

"Really?" Lexi asked a tiny bit sarcastically.

River chuckled. "Oh, Lexi. This is only the beginning for all of you."

"What do you mean?"

"Can I ask you something?"

Lexi raised an eyebrow at the sudden change in subject. "Sure?"

"Do you like The Doctor?"

Lexi whipped her head around to look directly at River. "What?!"

"Oh, come on. I've seen the way you look at him. Steeling little glances at him when he's not looking. You may not think anyone was watching, but I have been the whole time."

"Are you serious?... Okay, maybe a little, but it's nothing, really." Lexi said defensively.

"If you say so. But hey, I do have something I need to tell you."

"Okay, what is it."

"Now, before I tell you, I need you to promise me you won't tell The Doctor."

"Woah, why can't I tell The Doctor?"

"Because this is something that you and only you can do."

"Fine. What?"

"Alright, I'm going to try not to give to much away here... So, as you know, me and The Doctor's timelines lines sort of move in opposite directions. Well, something happens in the future. Not necessarily bad, but something does happen. Well, it's already happened for me, but it's not yet happened for any of you. Anyway, the thing that happened, shouldn't have happened, or at least not in the way that it did. I need you to change it. Time can be rewritten, you know."

"Wait, your telling me that you want me to change your past, which is everyone else's future because the thing that you're saying happened, shouldn't have happened."

"No. The thing that happened shouldn't have happened the way that it happened."

"Okay..."

"I know this sounds weird, but you are the only person that is capable of doing this for me."

"River, this does sound insane."

"Yes. But-"

"Fine. I'll do it. I might not be entirely happy about having to keep a secret, but if this is as important as you say it is,... then I don't want to mess anything up. But, I do have one more question. How will I know what to change and when to change it?"

"Oh, trust me. You'll know."

Lexi then glanced back over to see The Doctor walking towards them.

"Hello. How are you feeling, Lexi?" The Doctor asked seeing if Lexi still felt any after effects of the recent events.

"A bit sore, but otherwise alright." She said with a smile before walking over to the rock where her sister was, leaving The Doctor with River.

"You... Me... handcuffs." River said with a smile holding out her hands encased in cuffs. "Must it always end this way?"
