Rose and the Doctor lay on a grassy hill overlooking New New York, a lake below them and the skyline in front of them. Rose snuggled into the Doctor, hearing his hearts beating. She loved being close to him with him holding her. The Doctor ran his fingers lightly down her soft arm, goose bumps arising on her fore arm from the touch of his fingers. It was nice for them to relax from the excitement of saving planets, just them two alone: together.

"Doctor," Rose asked breaking the wonderful silence.

"Mmhu," replied the Doctor.

"Oh nothing, just checking to see if you were awake," said Rose a little embarrassed.

"I am now," he said as he woke up.

"Sorry," she apologized.

"No it's fine. I was just getting hungry. Care for a picnic," asked the Doctor as he bounded up from his spot and made his way towards the TARDIS.

"Sure. As long as it's adequate for the human digestive system," Rose hollered at him as the blue door shut behind him. She layed back on the Doctor's brown coat that they were using as a blanket. Wow those four years sense I met the Doctor have gone by quickly, she thought. I wonder what other adventures we'll have -, her thought was interrupted by the sound of the TARDIS door creaking open and closed as the Doctor brought out a picnic basket. He trotted over to Rose and plopped down on his coat, opening up one of the flaps of the woven wood basket, pulling out some containers.

"One peanut butter and Jelly for you," he said handing a bag to Rose, " and one for me."

"Thanks," she said opening her plastic baggie. They enjoyed their meal while joking about their adventures.

"Remember when we met Queen Victoria and she was like 'I am so NOT amused,'" laughed Rose as she imitated her majesty.

"Oh, and the last time we were here Cassandra transferred into your body," asked the Doctor as he laughed.

"Yeah yeah," replied Rose enthusiastically.

"When she, inside you, kissed me, it was out of the ordinary. I thought something had just gotten into you," laughed the Doctor at the fact that he had fallen for it.

"Hey I need a drink. Did you pack anything," asked Rose as she started rummaging through the basket. "There's nothing in here but this box. What's in her-," Rose stopped in mid sentence.

"Doctor, what's this," she asked puzzled.

He took the box from her hand, "Rose Tyler, will you marry me?"

Rose's jaw dropped, she didn't know whether to say yes or yes.

"Yes," she said excitedly.

"Of coarse you don't have to because of all the danger, and aliens, and-" he was interrupted by his fiancé.

"Why wouldn't I. I love the adventures we have together," she said as the Doctor slid the ring onto her finger, "what kind of stone is it?"

"Fire stone from Raxacoricofallapatorius. I was going to get a diamond but I thought it was to traditional," explained the Doctor, "Do you like it?"

"Oh it's lovely, Doctor," she said.

"Wonderful," he said as he kisses his fiancé. For the rest of the afternoon they relaxed, now closer together than ever.
