"Shopping?" Rose whined. The Doctor grinned at her complaining.

"Don't women like shopping?" he asked innocently. Rose glared at him.

"Sexist pig," she muttered. He took her hand, and she looked up, surprised. He squeezed it gently and then winked.

"Shopping is so human!" the Doctor said enthusiastically. "You know me, half-human, trying to experience."

Rose giggled, and leaned on his arm. In the time they had been together, the Doctor had been having crazy human urges, like drinking hot chocolate and rolling down hills and, now, shopping. She always went along with his impulses, knowing he was trying to experience what she had experienced for nineteen years.

"But shopping?" Rose teased. "That's not a very manly thing to do."

"Taking my girl shopping is chivalrous and very manly," the Doctor argued.

Rose caved, stopping her teasing to finally agree with him. "Alright then, you daft plum, lets go shopping."


He dragged her everywhere, wanting to feel every fabric and smell every scent and taste every food he could. Rose tagged along happily, until she found a chip stand and dragged him there.

"These could do with some ketchup," Rose decided. The Doctor laughed and kissed her.

Soon later, they found a photo booth, and the Doctor quickly turned into a child. "Please, Rose?" he begged. "Please!"

"Photo booths are for teenagers!" Rose teased, laughing, but she took his hand and dragged him into the booth.

They took too many pictures, blowing almost all of the change they had, but by the end, they had hundreds of memories.

"I like this one!" Rose laughed as they went through them later. The strip had four pictures of them together. They made silly faces in the first one, Rose sticking her tongue out and the Doctor going cross-eyed. The second one showed the Doctor and Rose grinning huge grins at the camera. The Doctor was tickling Rose in the third one, so his face was devilishly grinning and she was in mid-hysteric laugh. The fourth one showed Rose obviously winking, and the Doctor licking his lips. She loved it because it was silly and fun.

The Doctor laughed at his faces with her until he showed her his favorite strip. The first one of them smiling happily at the camera. The second one with his hand on her cheek, forcing her to look into his eyes. The third one with him kissing her and her kissing back, looking as carefree and in love as ever. And the fourth one with him staring at her with a small, dorky smile while she looked down and blushed, biting her lip and smiling.

"We look happy," the Doctor said, watching Rose's face as she looked at the pictures. Her eyes were happy, and her face was slightly flushed. She glanced up and placed her hand softly on his cheek.

"We look human," she giggled, smiling.
