Rose & 9
It had been such an average day. Work, lunch with Mickey, just another day in the life of Rose Tyler.
He didn't seem too special, looking at him. Just a bloke adding stress to her day. But Rose knew there was something in those blue eyes that set him apart.
From their first trip out, Rose had been enchanted by the mysterious Doctor.
Just strings of 26 letters had changed her view of the entire universe. She had never felt this way about anyone; even Mickey.
They had only just met, but Rose would swear she had known the Doctor her whole life. She had seen all of time and space with him and they had shared so much more than a box.
He had showed her a better way of living your life. Running; chasing after her dreams instead of just standing on the sidelines.
The whole universe at their front door. All the time in the world.
Rose stares into oblivion. Fear. Worry. Sadness. Had this all been a dream? Rose can't tell what's real anymore. Was she still just a shopgirl living in the Powell Estate? Would she wake up one day and find that she made this whole thing up
Rose looks up and sees the Doctor standing in the TARDIS doorway. The smile returns to her face. This life was too good to dream up.
Still Rose thinks back to that fateful day. Such an average day. The sun rose and the sun set. The customers were annoying and the bosses were even more so. Yet magic entered the shop that day. Just a bloke. Just a guy. But he held starlight in his eyes.
