Will You Fall For Me
After a trip home, Rose and the Doctor went out to a bar.
"I had a really great time today Doctor," said Rose.
"Same here," said the Doctor. "Any trip to your mother's that doesn't involve a slap in the face is worth special mention." Rose nudged him jokingly. Near them, a man with a microphone started talking.
"Hello everyone!" he exclaimed. "My name's Tom, and I'd like to thank you all for coming to karaoke night!" A round of applause rose up.
"Did you know it was karaoke night?" asked the Doctor.
"I had no idea," said Rose.
"Who wants to have a crack?" asked Tom. A bunch of hands went up, but Tom wasn't looking at them. He was looking in the direction of the Doctor and Rose.
"You there," he said, pointing to Rose. "How about belting out a tune for your boyfriend?"
"Oh, he's not my boyfr-" began Rose, but the people around her were already beckoning her onto the stage. Rose got up and took a microphone.
"What's your name?" asked Tom.
"Rose," said Rose nervously.
"Well Rose, tonight's first song is Delta Goodrem's Will You Fall For Me," said Tom. "Good luck." The lights dimmed, and a spotlight shone down on Rose. She gulped and began to sing.
"My
head's full of thought
Thoughts
of you
And I'm distracted so easy
Thinking what to do
The
Doctor couldn't help noticing that Rose was looking right at him.There was a look in her eyes that suggested she meant what she
was singing.
So
unsure, so unfamiliar
Am
I wrong to think that something could happen
Immediately
the Doctor started thinking of their relationship. It was very
complex, and he had to admit that they'd become very close. Was it
becoming something more?
Will
you fall for me
I
need to know, the way I'd like you to
Right
from the beginning, Rose had been flirting with him and pushing him.
Did she want him to fall for her? But then again, what about Mickey?
And Adam? And Jack? Didn't she feel anything for them? Or were they
just pawns in her quest?
Baby,
will you fall for me
The way I've fallen for you
The Doctor felt his hearts do backflips as soon as he heard those words. She'd fallen for him. No, it was just a song. She didn't even know it was karaoke night. But … the way she looked at him … the yearning in her voice, it all sounded real.
I'm
not acting like myself
And
I'm playing the role of someone else
And
my heart's beating so fast
I
can't stop it
Just
the thought of the Doctor made Rose blush. There was something abut
him, his charisma, his smile, his enthusiasm, that made her want him.
And
I'm so unsure
So
unfamiliar
Am
I wrong to think that something could happen
Was she fooling herself? Were these thoughts just stupid fantasies?
Will
you fall for me
The
way I'd like you to
It would be her dream come true to have the Doctor fall for her. She wanted it so bad it hurt.
Will
you fall for me
The
way I've fallen for you
She was in love with him. That was the truth. She didn't know when or how it started, but she wanted nothing more than to feel his skin against hers, his hearts beating against her chest. She looked the Doctor in the eye the whole time while she was singing, hoping to get the message across.
The
way I've fallen for you
The
way I've fallen for you
The
Doctor, practically hypnotised, got out of his seat and began walking
up to the stage, drawn to Rose by the song.
Fallen
for, fallen for you
As he walked up the stairs, no one made any attempt to stop him. Rose continued singing, but her voice was much lower now, almost down to a whisper.
For
you …
So
unsure, so unfamiliar
Am
I wrong to think,
That
something could happen
Rose looked at the Doctor as she sang this, asking him this directly. Without taking his eyes off her, the Doctor very slowly shook his head in response to the question.
Will
you fall for me
The
way I'd like you to
Will
you fall for me
The
way I've fallen for you
"I already have," said the Doctor. Rose's eyes became wet with tears of happiness.
"I love you Rose," said the Doctor.
"Oh Doctor, I love you too!" exclaimed Rose, who then grinned and threw the microphone into the crowd, before throwing her hands round the Doctor and kissing him. The crowd began applauding, and a bunch of single women began making their way through the crowd, thinking there must be something about karaoke that made men fall hopelessly in love with them. The Doctor and Rose walked back to their spot, both grinning ear to ear.
"Shall we leave?" asked Rose.
"Sure," said the Doctor. "I've just gotta go to the loo." As soon as the Doctor left, Tom walked up to Rose.
"I take it the plan worked?" he said.
"You bet," said Rose. "Thanks Tom, you don't know what this means to me."
"Hey, what are friends for?" said Tom smiling.

sighs I love Dr/Rose so much. But if there's one thing I love more than that, it's reviews (hint hint).
