9	Alright, alright, we'll get on with the recap! Impatient little [[NarrativeProfanityFilter ϟϟϟϟϟ]]-''AHAOWW!!'' [---Right... guess they hate swearing too... makes sense...---]
10
11	One of the three minisodes released with the Series 7 DVD, along with "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33ShortTheInforarium The Inforarium]]" and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33ShortClaraAndTheTardis Clara and the TARDIS]]".
12
13	It was written by Creator/NeilGaiman (and not, as credited, Steven Moffat) and it is a rewrite of a scene originally from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife The Doctor's Wife]]", which also appeared as a short comic featuring Amy and Rory instead of River.
14	----
15
16	River and the Eleventh Doctor (presumably after [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E5TheAngelsTakeManhattan loosing Amy and Rory]] since the Doctor is in his purple frock coat) are in one of their date nights. Not the best, since they're about to be sacrificed to the local Rain Gods.
17
18	They bicker a bit, and the Doctor assures River that he [[IndyPloy really, totally has a plan]]. Creating a distraction and running away. Which River thinks is not much of a plan.
19
20	But then the Doctor smells something -- ozone. Thunder rumbles, the Doctor taunts the Rain Gods (to the horror of the locals), and crouches on the ground with River. Lightning strikes the two standing locals. The Doctor pulls an umbrella out of nowhere as it starts to rain. Delighted, both run away.
21
22	The final shot is of the TARDIS parked in the rain, while the Doctor and River are heard, bickering still.

24	----
25	!!Tropes:
26
27	* DeathFromAbove: Lightning -- purely by chance.
28	* DVDBonusContent
29	* {{Hammerspace}}: Where did that umbrella come from?
30	* HumanSacrifice: It's good for the crops, apparently. There's scientific evidence!
31	* {{Interquel}}: The Doctor has his purple garb on, so it has to precede at least the first episode of Series 7B.
32	* IndyPloy: {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d and discussed. River is not impressed.
33	* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Which they are.
34	* MinimalistCast: The Doctor, River and two extras.
35	* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Not much, since there weren't any real gods, just a storm. Probably.
36	-->'''The Doctor:''' Any Rain Gods up there? You're ''rubbish!'' Strike me if I'm wrong!
37	* ShipTease:
38	-->'''River:''' We should be burning at the stake right now, lucky for you you're pretty.
39	* UmbrellaOfTogetherness
