Chapter 4
Sigh. I wrote half of it, then I accidentally deleted it. Sigh. So this chapter is some more wedding planning, and some more fluffy Eleven/Rose romance. Ps- I personally reject the events in Children of Earth. IANTO IS ALIVE! And I know that the timelines are all messed up, but whatever. Fanfiction.
The Doctor and Rose woke up, showered, changed, and went to breakfast with the Ponds.
"Doctor, I think me and Rory need some time alone at home for awhile. Could you drop us off in Leadworth later? Amy asked. She winked at the TARDIS ceiling. The TARDIS and Amy had a plan. They'd leave the TARDIS, then the TARDIS would give some..."encouragement",and then the Ponds would return after the lovebirds had at least shagged. As Amy walked out of the TARDIS an hour later, she whispered to Rory, "We aren't steppin' foot in there until those two have shagged. It's 'bout time!"
The Doctor and Rose started the list of guests on a yellow pad of paper.
"Let's see, there's my mum, dad, Tony, Amy, Rory, Sarah Jane, Mickey, Martha, and Jack right off the top of my head. Anyone else?" Rose said.
"Well there's Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Ace, Jo Grant, and, well, there's my granddaughter." said the Doctor.
"Anyone else?"
"That's all that I can think of that aren't extremely cross with me now."
"Okay then, what about invitations? Colors? Fonts?" Rose asked.
"I was thinking these would be better" said the Doctor. He pulled out a small, red little box with a heart-shaped button on it. He pressed the button and a hologram showed up of a large heart. "We can record individualized recordings and send them."
"It's amazing! This would be brilliant!"
They recorded the holograms, every one different, some longer, explaining the new face, or Rose's reappearance, but all saying to call the TARDIS phone to RSVP the number of people and when you'd want to be picked up in the wedding for the wedding. Then the Doctor retrieved a pen, small blue boxes, stamps, and an address book, and then he and Rose started addressing each box, and put them all in a pile. So the Doctor stopped in London, dropped them off at a postal office.
"So what should we do now?" Rose asked.
"I think that for the first time in," the Doctor looked at his watch, "three days, we should relax as an engaged couple. So, what do normal, non-aging, time traveling fiancees do?" he asked. Rose laughed.
"How 'bout a movie. Not in a theater, just any movie, with some popcorn?" Rose said.
"I'll make some popcorn, and you pick out some movies. Meet you in the living room" said the Doctor. "Oh wait! Forgot something!"
"What?"
The Doctor picked up Rose, kissed her, and carried her into the living room.
"What was that for?" Rose said, still laughing.
"Just practicing!" said the Doctor, and then he went to get popcorn. But when he went into the kitchen, the TARDIS initiated Amy's plan. She removed all the drinks and replaced them with alcoholic versions of them that you couldn't even tell the difference, and then laced all the food with flavorless booze. The Doctor unknowingly picked up a two champagne Diet Cokes and a beer-laced bag of microwave popcorn, enough to get them at least a little tipsy.
Rose went to pick a movie from the TARDIS's large collection, and decided on Mean Girls, one of her favorites, and then chose Ballet Shoes, Ms. Pettigrew Lives For A Day, and then Legally Blonde. When she went back to the living room, the couch had changed. What was once a very large, brown couch, is now a small, red love seat, that Rose would have to be in the Doctor's lap to be comfortable. The lights were much darker than usual.
The Doctor walked in, hands full of candy (laced with yep, more booze), popcorn, and sodas.
"What happened to the couch?"
"No idea. It must've been the TARDIS. I'm goin' to go put on some pajamas. You comin'?"
The Doctor put the snacks on the coffee table and followed Rose back to their room. He changed into some soft pajamas bottoms and a blue tee shirt. She changed into some fuzzy socks and a pink tee shirt that reached her upper thighs.
What neither of them knew was that both of them had peeked when they had been changing.
"So've you got the movies?"
"Yup. A chic-flick marathon. Next time you can choose."
They walked back to the living room and started Mean Girls, somehow managing to fit together on the love seat. As they watched the movie and ate and drank, they started to get tipsy unknowingly and by the time it was over, they'd run out of soda and popcorn. The Doctor made more popcorn and got more soda. They started another movie, and another, and another, and by then they'd eaten four bags of candy, three bags of popcorn, and four sodas. Now they were properly drunk.
"Rose. Why didn't we just make out a get it over with when we had the chance?" the Doctor asked in his slurred voice.
"No idea. I love you Doctor. Almost always have." She kissed the Doctor with her arms around his neck.
"I think we should go to bed now."
"Good idea. I think there was somethin' special in that candy or soda."
They went back to the bedroom and, as Amy and the TARDIS had planned, there was a box of condoms on their bed. One thing led to another, and they ended up sleeping together. Finally.
The Doctor woke up the next morning and he didn't feel any regret whatsoever. All he felt was love and happiness. He just went back to sleep. Rose and the Doctor slept until noon that day.
The sound of the TARDIS phone ringing woke up both of them. The Doctor volunteered to answer it, and he walked out into the console room dressed in a sheet. It was the Brigadier, RSVP-ing to the wedding. He said how he was so happy for the Doctor and Rose, and said that he would be happy being picked up in the TARDIS at around ten on Saturday. The Doctor marked it next to the Brigadier's name on the list. The he went back into the bedroom. Rose was waiting for him, still in bed.
"You know why I didn't just hit on you and shag once I got here? Because I was scared that I'd regret it and things would be awkward and weird and it would ruin everything. But now that it's happened, I'm happier than ever. Because now I'm engaged to the man I love, and I know that we'll get married and live together forever." she said, smiling at him.
Then they both changed and showered, and then the calls starting coming in. When Amy and Rory called, Rose asked Amy to be her maid of honor and the Doctor asked Rory to be his best man. Then, Amy asked something strange.
"So...anything new? Anything interesting?" she asked.
"Nope." the Doctor answered.
"Are you sure? Nothin' at all?"
"Nope."
"Okay then see you soon. Bye Doctor, bye Rose!"
Then Martha and Mickey called, and Rose asked Martha to be a bridesmaid. Then Jack called and said that he and Ianto would come. Then Sarah Jane called and said that she, Luke, and K-9 would come, and Rose asked her to be her third bridesmaid. Then Ace, Jo, and the Tylers called. Everyone had RSVP-ed now.
"So now that that's over with, how 'bout we go make up for lost time in the bedroom?" Rose said.
"Fantastic." said the Doctor, smiling.
So...yeah. That just happened. I don't really know. I don't plan stories. It's more fun to just see where they go.
