I couldn't get the idea out of my head! I'm sorry!
I don't own anything
"Hello! The Doctor here! Today's vid-"
Rose Tyler frantically closed her computer as her teacher walked into the classroom. He shot her a glare that clearly said she should know better then to be watching youtube vids in class. Jack, Rose's best friend and fellow 'Doctor' fan grinned at Rose with a knowing look. Rose sighed and settled in for a long lecture. Her mind went back to the face grinning at her through the computer screen. The Doctor – her favorite channel on youtube, was a strangely charismatic teenager making vids of his life and adventures. Jack had been the one to show her the vids originally but it only took a couple of weeks to get her hooked. He had this way of talking which made her feel inspired to go out, have an adventure, live a life. Not to mention his gorgeous hair… Plus, it was nice to have a friendly British face to come home to after having been in America for 4 months on a bloody foreign exchange program that her mum had somehow convinced her was a good idea.
After Jimmy Stone, Rose had been a wreck and Jackie – for some ridiculous reason unknown to Rose – had decided that an exchange program in Florida of all places was a good idea. 4 months passed and still her only friend was Jack. Jack was the class flirt and jock. Other then him her best friend was a face on a computer monitor.
Jack found her as they left class, his pace falling in to sync with hers.
"So, Rosie, there's something I've been meaning to ask you…" he began.
"Jack, I've told you a billion times I'm not double dating with you and Ianto!"
"What I was going to say was I happened to come upon an extra ticket to Geekcon in Miami..."
Rose turned to her friend, her eyes widened
"Jack. You don't mean-"
"Yessir! I, Jack Harkness, have the chance of a lifetime to make the elusive Doctor fall in love with our Rosie – and then you can double date with Ianto and I."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"I can't believe I'm actually going to meet him!" Rose squealed.
"It's the weekend after next and we're driving there - Ianto has no interest"
Rose threw her head back and laughed. It was going to happen. She was going to meet the Doctor. The Doctor! It was a good day.

The days chugged slowly on, each one slower then the last as Rose anticipation grew and grew. She was so annoyed with the rest of the world's lack of enthusiasm. She kept bringing it up in conversation, hoping for people to act a little jealous - he wasn't so unheard of in the States - but only got a few vague smiles and "maybe I've heard of him..."s. At least there had been the thrill when he mentioned it in one of his videos.
I'm also super excited to announce that I'll be at this year's Geekcon in Miami, Florida. So any of you in the area, there's still time left to get passes!
(Rose had called up Jack immediately to tell him that The Doctor had practically mentioned them in his videos)
Rose's host family really hadn't understood what all the fuss was about, but gave her permission to go. They liked Jack - well, everyone liked Jack - even though Rose thought that they might have been mislead to believe Jack was her boyfriend. Still, she didn't tell them otherwise. Better to let them think that she was with her loving and protective boyfriend rather then a bunch of screaming loons (her included).
Friday night found Rose Tyler sitting on the floor of her (borrowed) bedroom amidst a pile of clothes, frantically shoving things into her hot pink suitcase. Jack's tinny voice came through the speakerphone.
"Rose it says here on this website to pack bottled water and sweatshirts-"
"Jumpers!"
"Fine, jumpers then. But bring them, apparently it can get cold in these convention centers."
"Ok Jack, I've got it. 5AM tomorrow then?"
"Talk to you then I guess."
"Night Jack!"
"Night, Rosie"
Rose surveyed her room and then shoved a nice dress into her bag. You never know, and it's always best to be prepared.

Five in the morning didn't seem like such a good idea as Rose woke up, bleary-eyed and groggy. She rubbed at her eyes and yawned. After a shower and about 3 cups of coffee, she heard Jack's ancient car in the drive. Grabbing her bag, she ran out to meet him. Jack was far to energetic for this time of day, and as she approached he called "Into time!"
"And space!" Called back Rose (it was the way that The Doctor always ended his videos)
She threw her bags into the boot of the car and popped in next to Jack.
"Alright, now lets get going!" She shot him her tongue-in-tooth grin.
"Onward!" Shouted Jack, and off they went.
(a/n Geekcon is not a real thing - I wanted to make up a con so that I wouldn't have any conflicting info. also, sorry if rose is a bit ooc - I'm not really used to writing her)
