Heeey! Did ya like the first one?! Do I have to put disclaimers in every chapter? I don't think so. Gah!

Rose danced happily around the room, her blonde hair flying around her. "All I want for Christmas!" she sang dramatically. Jack interrupted her, the smell of one too many beers on his breath, "Is you!" they both laughed, dancing with each other for a moment. The Doctor glared jealously at Jack and moved to dig the sonic screwdriver out of his coat to pretend to fix the console, when really, he was daydreaming about him and Rose. Rose caught the gaze and dropped out of Jacks arms, moving swiftly to The Doctor. "Dance with me?" she asked innocently, a dangerous sparkle to her eye. He cleared his throat. Yes yes yes yes yes... "Um, I can't, I got to, um..." he said, trailing off. Really impressive there, Doctor. Real smooth. Rose rolled her eyes, twining their hands together. She pouted in the way that she knew he couldn't resist. "Please?" The Doctor felt torn. He did want to dance with her, really he did, but he knew it wouldn't be wise... "Alright." he said awkwardly. Rose grinned at how Northerly the accent was. They danced with each other around the console with Jack singing along with the records in the background. "Santa , Baby..." Jack began, trying to make his voice sound feminine and failing miserably. Rose pushed her face into The Doctor's jumper, trying to stifle her giggles. The Doctor felt his hearts speed up but he kept dancing with her, hiding his smile in her hair. At the point where Eartha was asking for a signature, Jack groaned. "I'm going to bed." he stumbled off somewhere in the TARDIS. The Doctor and Rose continued to dance silently, Rose resting her head on his chest. Her eyes fluttered close and he smiled, kissing the top of her head. "Tired?" he teased. Rose giggled. "Well... maybe." she teased back, raising her head to look at him properly. By now they were really just hugging each other, neither of them even swaying to the music. The Doctor grinned at her. "Merry Christmas, Rose." he said, handing her a gingerbread man cookie from who knows where. Rose laughed and cracked it in half, giving him the head and torso. "Merry Christmas, Doctor."

The Doctor scratched his neck. "Not yet." Rose groaned, trying to dart past him. "It's freezing! Why cant we go in the TARDIS?" she pouted. His lips dipped down to look for a minute before greeting her eyes again. "Just- put this on!" he said suddenly, handing her his tie. She gave him an odd look. "Why am I putting on your tie?" He rolled his eyes, snatching it up again before tying it around her eyes. "There... Now..." he murmured in her ear, swinging the TARDIS doors open and leading her in, one arm around her back and one hand absently gripping her hip. Rose leaned against him, following him until she knew she was standing right at the edge of the ramp. The tie was taken from her eyes and she looked around, blinking. Her mouth fell open. Christmas lights adorned the ceiling, and tinsel hung from the railing at the controls. A small, rather Charlie Brown-ish Christmas tree was in the corner. She glanced over at him. Well, the air where he was. "Doctor!" she called instantly, worry in her voice as she whirled around. The Doctor bounced back in, wearing jim jams and holding two mugs of cocoa. "Rose!" he teased. He handed her the mug and grinned. Rose giggled and took it, hitting him lightly. "Alright, I have plans for tonight." he announced, pulling her over to cuddle. As he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against him, his eyes flickered up... right to the mistletoe hanging above them. His gaze quickly returned to hers, and he just knew his face was turning a light pink. TARDIS, I know I didn't put that up, so what's going on? He thought bluntly. She abruptly informed him that Rose's dream had given her the idea. He then realized that his face wasn't turning a light pink, but a dark scarlet. W-what? The TARDIS remained silent, and Rose, oblivious, was staring at him. He blinked and looked at her. "Doctor," she began slowly, "You're blushing." The Doctor tugged on an earlobe. "I- I am?" he squeaked. Rose rolled her eyes and took a sip of her hot cocoa. "Plans?" she reminded him. The Doctor grinned. "Right! So, first you're going to change." Rose raised an eyebrow teasingly at him. He blushed more. "Into pajamas! Nice, decent, respectable pajamas!" he objected. Rose laughed. "Yeah, then?" He resumed, trying not to look too embarrassed. "Then we're going to have fun baking Christmas nibbles. Then we're going to curl up and watch a good Christmas film." he informed her. Rose grinned. "I like it." her eyes glanced up at the mistletoe and a slow grin took over her features. "Hey, Doctor?" she said innocently. "Mmm?" he murmured, glancing up at her. She pointed upwards. He glanced to where she was pointing and gulped, looking back down at her. "Y-yeah?" he squeaked. Rose giggled and pressed her lips chastely to his. He could feel his cheeks burning but his eyes still closed as he kissed her back gently. After a moment, she pulled away. Her face was pink and she looked rather breathless, even though the kiss had been short. "Right... gonna change..." she said awkwardly, jumping off the seat and going to her room. The Doctor gazed after her, his eyes glazed over and panting like he had just had all the air knocked out of him. The TARDIS decided she liked the results of the experiment and moved the mistletoe over them many times, and each kiss got progressively better. Rose decided that her favorite was in the movie room. The Doctor just sniffed and said it was a silly human tradition, but his blush gave him away every time. They stayed up well past midnight with this 'silly human tradition', and spent most of the next day participating in it as well.
