The first other sign of contact for the day appeared as a pair of pinky fluffy slippers shuffling on the TARDIS floor. The Doctor brought up his head from his tinkering to see a morning Rose, rubbing her eyes and groaning "Morning." She was wearing her old blue-flannel-bunny pajamas.

Seeing him staring at her, Rose blushed a bit. He mumbled back "Good Morning, Rose." and resisted saying 'beautiful' instead of 'Rose'. She shuffled her way into the kitchen for a spot of tea and some toast before he could say anything else.

For a second, the Doctor stopped tinkering and thought about what they might do that day. He was always putting off the trip to the planet Florencia, because that was when he planned to sit her down on an empty garden bench, pull a beautiful pink rose (like her) from one of the rose bushes and hand it to her, gently kiss her cheek, and tell her…

A loud sound interrupted him from his dreaming. Rose ran from the kitchen, fully woken up now. He tore his eyes away from her reaction and focused on his. He was caught in wires. "Um…Rose?"

"Did you get yourself caught, Doctor?" She was barely restraining her giggles.

"Weeeellllllllll…" She was already running over before he could finish.

"What do I need to do to get you undone, mister?" The Doctor looked around, and started pointing at the wires. She continued to work until they hit a particularly hard one. The Doctor was smart enough to see what was coming up ahead. He waved a hand.

"Stop."

"What?"

He blushed. "Ummm… Ummmm… Nevermind." He tried to figure out another way.

She made her famous smile. The tongue-in-teeth one. You know, the Doctor's most favorite thing ever. "What is it?"

He sighed and looked at his watch. "Only 7:30."

"What's the point?"

"7:30 and I'm already taking off my…um…pants."

Rose looked surprised. "Wait, what? You're doing techno-babble, except in real life… What?"

The Doctor looked offended. "Oi! Tech is real life! Anyway, the only way I can get untangled is if I slip off my trousers. Except, I can't really do it…" He blushed.

Rose blushed too, but she untied his belt and started to slip off his pants. Then her face turned an even brighter red. "Luckily, it's just us." He watched as she wrestled with his trousers, and started to think about what might happen without all the wires. He envisioned her lips on his, her sweet smell, caressing her blonde hair.

"Doctor? You okay?"

Her voice brought him back to Earth, or the TARDIS, and he breathlessly said "Yeah?" before his pants slipped off and he fell out of the tangle of wires, landing on his butt. "Ow."

God, the Doctor was so dumb sometimes. He never saw how embarrassed she got! I mean, sure, at some points he was so sweet it was hard not to pin him to a wall and… Anyway, he could be so stupid, that was the point, that was.

Rose got dressed. Today, she knew was different. Besides the fact she saw him half naked. So she put on her cutest top: pink of course. It was a little low in the front, and the back showed a lot of skin. The Doctor would love that!

She walked into the kitchen. The doctor was being cute, as usual. He started talking with food in his mouth. There was a yellow jumble of things inside… bananas!

"Rose," he said through a muffled voice, "We could go to a brilliant little planet called Asatonex, beautiful place, lots of nice people th…" He trailed off as he first looked at Rose. He finished breathlessly, "It's a bit boring. Why not go to this planet I know called Florencia?"
