When she isn't looking, the Doctor can't keep his eyes off of Rose. She's so miraculously beautiful in his eyes that on occasion, he has to take a double-take to be sure it isn't just all in his head. Her smile is contagious and the Doctor can't help but return her smile with a smile of his own. He's traveled with many women before Rose, but somehow, not a single one of his previous companions can compare to the amazing woman he sees before him. He wants more than this friendly little relationship with Rose that has its boundaries, which keep him from making a move toward more. In his mind, he's kissed her over a thousand times and told her how he feels about her. The Doctor wants so terribly to tell Rose he loves her, but something is holding him back. He's afraid that if he confesses to her, she might reject him or decide to leave. He's also afraid that if he gets too attached to her, something will happen and she'll be gone forever.

"Care to show me how to dance, Doctor?" her voice spoke, which broke the Doctor's train of thought. They were in the T.A.R.D.I.S. as they floated on through space and time without a specific time or place to go. Rose gives the Doctor her puppy eyes as to show she truly wanted him to teach her a thing or two since he finally remembers how to dance. The Doctor smiles at her and holds out his hand for her to place hers. She takes his hand and he leads her close to him, placing her left hand on his arm and his right hand on the shoulder blade of her back. Orchestra music starts to play from the T.A.R.D.I.S.

"Follow my lead," the Doctor instructs to Rose as they begin to dance the basic moves of the waltz. As they move, the Doctor is looking down at Rose with the same eyes he always has. He absolutely adores her and wishes there was a way for him to show her that without telling her exactly how he feels about her. Rose might look at his viewpoint as the one of a young adolescent who's got a crush on another adolescent of the opposite gender. He's 900 years old and far from being an adolescent as defined by the human race. Rose might not even like him that way anyway and the Doctor didn't want to lose her because of his feelings toward her. He'd rather keep it to himself for now and secretly fall in love with her over and over again every time she smiles at him or laughs or hugs him tight.

"You really do know your dance moves, don't you, Doctor?" Rose asks as the Doctor twirls her and reels her back into their dance stance. She has the brightest smile on her face that the Doctor has ever seen and it tugs at his hearts once again. He never will get used to her smile nor will it ever get old. Her name, her laugh, her face, and all that makes Rose who she is will always make his hearts stutter until the end of his existence. He's in denial of it, but the Doctor's slowly falling in love with his companion and dance partner that is right in front of him. He's so tempted to lean down and kiss her at last, but he resists and takes the opportunity to admire her beautiful dark green eyes.

"Indeed, I do, Rose Tyler. You'd do best to never forget that," the Doctor declares as he releases her from his grip. As he leans over to kiss her hair, the T.A.R.D.I.S. shakes hard, nearly knocking the two over and preventing the Doctor from showing light signs of affection. The T.A.R.D.I.S. is rumbling rapidly, shaking up the inside like an earthquake as it hurtles through space with danger in its way. The Doctor steadies himself as he attempts to bring the T.A.R.D.I.S. back into his control, but he loses his balance and both Rose and the Doctor fall to the floor in unsteadiness of the T.A.R.D.I.S.
