Important Notes: Similar in a way to Price of Paradise (copyright Colin Brake). The Doctor Whoniverse belongs to Russell T Davies other wise the Doctor and Rose would still be together. No profit is made from this work and no profit can be made from this work without permission in writing from the author, Russell T Davies ad probably about 100 other people.
Author's notes: Hope you all love it, now you know Kistain's story, time for a little bit of adventure. Oh, and in this there's a teeny bit of fluff, this is kind of like doomsday hasn't happened.
Chapter 1:
"Sooo" The Doctor peeked out from underneath the console as Rose walked in slowly, wearing a long, silky red dress and red heels, her hair elaborately styled into curls and loops neatly and beautifully upon her head. "How do I look?" Her smile was perfectly beautiful, and she also held a small handbag, also red. Grinning, the Doctor hoisted himself from the TARDIS engines, walking over to her.
"You look beautiful however you're dressed" He murmured softly, and she blushed slightly, noting the hint of adoration in his voice. How he longed to press his lips to hers, taste her on his lips. He hadn't realised he was leaning in quite so close, nose almost touching her hair, scents of strawberry conditioner. He lowered his head slightly, so he was looking into her eyes, so close they were hardly a millimetre from touching. She could feel his soft breath on her face.
"Doctor?" She asked, softly. Catching himself, the Doctor pulled away, blushing slightly and jumping back into the engines to hide his embarrassment. "You look nice. Now, let me finish this and I'll get changed" Rose rolled her eyes, she sat softly on the chair, picking up the book she had left on the chair and continuing reading. Hidden, the Doctor watched silently, eyes tracing around the soft curves of her body subconsciously…
"I can see you looking" The Doctor jumped so much he whacked his head on the console. "Ouch!" He yelped, looking irritated and embarrassed at the same time. He leapt out the floorboard, replacing it and leaving quickly, cheeks flushed red. Rose giggled to herself, watching him go, watching his rear end until it vanished till sight, before returning to her book.
About twenty minutes later, the Doctor returned. His hair had been clearly brushed and flattened, and he wore a velvet suit of deep plum colour. He had opted out of his converse trainers and chosen a pair of neat shoes she never thought she would see him wear. He grinned at her, and she was suddenly struck again about how handsome he was, if a little on the skinny side.
The Doctor swept on his normal long camel-colour trench coat. After double checking he had everything, he turned to the console. "Thinking about it, we should have gone there first. Okay, hold on tight. Soon we'll be at the first ever dance in the Rimotzi dancehall, planet Kitzo, 450236! Date, 47th of Richmonth, 17:90 RM." Rose stayed silent, utterly confused by these as-yet unused terms. The TARDIS ground into life with the familiar whooshing noises, and grounding noises.
The flight was rather smooth. "We'll be there in half a tick" The Doctor noted, watching the scanner filled with the off, circular scripture she had come to recognise as Gallifreyan which the TARDIS didn't seem to want to translate. Without warning, the ship juddered furiously, knocking both of them off their feet.
The Doctor struggled up as an alarm warning blared, and Rose clung for dear life onto a rail, hair coming free from its elaborate styles.
Mrreeeeeeeeeeeee-yaroooooooooop!
Mrreeeeeeeeeeeee-yarooooooooop!
Mrreeeeeeeeee-yaroooooooooop!
The Doctor whacked his hand down on a button, and the screaming alarm stopped. "Hang on, Rose!" He shouted. "Hang on tight! Whatever set the alarm of hit us with a magno-electric pulse too. We're gonna crash!"
