Stolen Kisses: The Diary Of Rose Tyler

Travel Diary: Day Three

Dear Diary,

I'm sorry that I haven't written in nearly 48 hours but last night I had a major headache from Cassandra jumping around in my brain. So far my plan has stuck to schedule; three days, three kisses. Okay, so the second kiss was actually Cassandra using me, but it had the desired effect. It left the doctor thoroughly snogged and completely speechless.

Today I learned the many uses of Mistletoe. It can be used to stain wood. It can be boiled into stew. It acts as a natural Werewolf repellant and, of course, the obvious use.

The Doctor and Rose howled like a pair of Werewolves as the TARDIS left Scotland behind. They both burst into peels of laughter, unable to sustain their hellish howling. The Doctor turned his back to Rose and Began to check over the scanner.

"So," he said, "For tomorrow I was thinking I could make good on my promise. Barcelona here we come! I told you about their dogs right? Do you remember?"

He glanced over his shoulder quickly to give her a wild grin before turning back to the consol to run a diagnostic. He didn't want any unexpected mistakes ruining Barcelona for Rose.

"Yes," she said smiling at his back, "I remember. They have-"

"No nose!" They said together.

Rose laughed again and wrapped her arms around his neck in a backwards hug. He smiled a brought his hands up to rub her arms. She grinned into the back of his neck. It was such a familiar, thoughtless, and friendly move for him, but it sent shivers through her arms. After a few seconds she loosened her embrace to let him free, but he turned to face her instead.

The Doctor wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled a wide grin. The grin froze when she noticed something unexpected.

"What?" Rose asked noticing that he was distracted.

"Nothing," he said biting his lower lip in thought. Rose was watching this intently. "Its just that, no matter how long I spend visiting Earth, there are some traditions I'll never understand."

Suddenly the same mouth that Rose was watching, that was always talking a mile-a-minute, stilled and began to move closer. Rose's eyes widened in shock and recognition. He was going to kiss her.

"And this, is one of them." He continued in a whisper before closing the gap between them. Rose barely had time to close her eyes and relax her started lips to meet his before they left her. She opened her eyes hoping to see answers in his; she didn't need to.

"Well at least we know you're not a Werewolf." The Doctor stated with a smirk. He reached up and picked a spring of Mistletoe out of Rose's hair. He held it up for her to see. "You had a hitch-hiker."

"Oh!" She said with a smile, even though she was secretly disappointed. She took the Mistletoe from him, "That clears up a bit. For a second there I thought you were flirting with me." He laughed.

"Rose, if I was flirting with you, don't you think I'd be a bit more subtle then to just kiss you?"

"Maybe, but subtle has never been your strong point."

So that's that! I'm look forward to Barcelona tomorrow. He's been building it up for months now. I kind of hope that maybe we won't run into a crazy alien we'll have to stop. It's been ages since we have gone somewhere we could have fun without the adrenaline high. Not that I don't love running.

I wonder if it is hot on Barcelona like it is in the with the same name. Maybe I'll wear my new dress (over short of course, in case of running). Mum says that I could get any bloke in that dress. Let's put it to the test, shall we?

Love,
Rose
