A/N: I was inspired by this story by my most recent trip to Disney World. It's meant to be sort of just a funny idea, not a work of art. However, if you do enjoy it (or have some constructive criticism), the review button will always be there! :) Enjoy.

(Oh, and just a warning... there's slight Doctor/Rose in the first few chapters. I guess not everybody likes them as a pairing or something silly like that. Sorry I'm not sorry?)


"Where to next, Doctor?"

"I thought we could do with a bit of fun."

The Doctor gave Rose a good-natured smile.

"Fun?" Rose asked, as if the word was foreign.

"Yeah," he said, "fun!"

His hands appeared almost a blur, snaking here and there on the console, pushing buttons and pulling levers. Rose felt the small pull behind her neck that told her that they were travelling through the Time Vortex.

"What kind of fun?" Rose asked. The Doctor laughed.

"Disney fun."

-:-

"How many times have you been here?" Rose asked the Doctor with a bemused smile. They nodded at a security guard and held up their hands to show that they had no bags that needed checking (although Rose noticed the Doctor nervously stick his hands into his bigger-on-the-inside trouser pockets as they passed).

"Fifteen times," he said happily. "This will be my sixteenth."

"My first," Rose said, "if you don't count Eurodisney when I was four."

The Doctor glanced at Rose with a slightly horrified expression on his face. Rose had to stifle a laugh at how childish and un-Doctor-like he was behaving, with his excitement for the "Disney fun." He looked like someone other than himself with his face adorned with a smile and his leather jacket abandoned to stay cool in the Florida heat.

"I don't count that," he said. "You have yet to truly experience the Disney magic."

They walked further along silently, managing to get into the Magic Kingdom Park with psychic papers in place of tickets.

"Now," said the Doctor, "first thing's first. Who is your favorite Disney princess?"

"Erm," said Rose, "I think I'd have to go with Ariel."

"Ariel?" the Doctor said incredulously. "No, no, no. Belle is much better."

"Belle's a close second, I guess," said Rose. "No, wait. Third. Mulan."

"Belle comes after Mulan? Rose, you have got this all wrong," said the Doctor.

"I didn't realize there was a right or wrong answer," said Rose, crossing her arms.

"Well, Ariel certainly isn't the right answer," the Doctor said.

"Why not?" Rose asked. "What's so wrong with Ariel?"

"She wants to be where the people are. She wants to see them dancing," said the Doctor. "Dancing!"

"You're just antisocial, you are," said Rose with a laugh. Softening, she added, "We've danced, anyway. See, there's nothing wrong with dancing."

The Doctor smiled at her.

"I had the moves," he said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"You wish." Rose stuck her tongue out at the Doctor (who took the moment as an opportunity to brood for just a second).

After a beat, he mumbled, "Ariel is still the wrong answer."

"Are you really going to try to argue with me about this?" Rose asked.

"Yes, I am," said the Doctor. "I just can't believe you don't like Belle."

"Who said anything about not liking Belle?" said Rose. "I love Belle! She's in third place!"

"But not first," the Doctor argued.

"We've barely even stepped into the park," said Rose. "Can we just do a rollercoaster and come back to this later?"

"Fine," said the Doctor, crossing his arms grumpily. "At least we can agree that The Lion King was the best movie Disney has ever made, right?"

"Oh, without a doubt," said Rose with a grin. She pried the Doctor's arms away from their folded position and intertwined their fingers together. "Now let's hit up…ooh, Splash Mountain sounds fun!"

"Splash Mountain it is," said the Doctor, relaxing and squeezing Rose's hand. Rose grinned up at him, her tongue poking out just slightly, and then maneuvered the park map in her free hand so she could find directions to Frontier Land. The Doctor watched her, feeling slightly more lighthearted in this moment than any previous trip to Disney had ever made him, although he could not quite pinpoint why.

(Even though Belle was the best princess and clearly Rose knew nothing of such matters.)


A/N: This chapter is shorter than the next two, which are already (mostly) written. Just so you know.

Again, reviews are lovely, as are you. Have a good day. :)
