"Tell me again." Laura whispered, her eyes gleaming at the handsome man who was grasping her hand and running along side her.
"I love you," he shouted to the sky, his head thrown back to the stars. "I love you! Come on, we're almost there." the two ran and ran until the large blue box was within reach, and the man turned around with a surge of sudden charisma and smoothly removed a strange device from his tweed jacket. He pressed a button and the item buzzed loudly, and suddenly the door on the blue police box swung open. He smiled and held the door open as his companion sauntered in, and shut it behind him. The two laughed at the bewildered creature that had been chasing them, now watching them fly away into the night sky.
"That was terrific, Doctor! Did you see when he...and then you...Wow!" Laura Nelson, the twenty-one year old blonde from Exeter, shouted gleefully and out of breath. She stopped short and smiled with her whole mouth, something she had been doing quite often for the past year or so. She felt a blush warm on her cheeks, and her pale green eyes brightened as she was being looked at by her friend. Laura looked at her beat up sneakers and tucked her hair behind her ears. "You meant it? What you said earlier?" she tried hiding her smile, but it was useless. The Doctor moved closer to her and put a gentle hand on her back.
"Yes," he breathed. "And for the first time in a long time, too." he bit his lip, regretting his last words. Laura's smile faded as she remembered the Doctor's stories of Rose, his closest companion since herself. He rarely spoke of her, and even though she knew the Doctor didn't have romantic feelings for her anymore, she still felt a pang of jealousy in her chest at the mention of Rose's name. "Anyway, where to?" the Doctor smirked.
"Well, we can go anywhere, right?" Laura asked. The Doctor made a scoffing sound and moved his lips to her ear.
"What, are you questioning the capabilities of my T.A.R.D.I.S.?" he whispered. "Never, and I mean never, do that while you're on board. Come on, let's go," and he kissed her (though not for the first time) with a feeling one gets when falling ten stories and being caught in midair at the last moment. Laura's body gravitated towards his, and their every movement was synchronized together, flying through space and time.
