5:00pm The Previous Day (Friday) – Rose Tyler

"No way!"

Rose stood in front of the mirror in disbelief.

"No way!" She repeated in disgust.

"I don't have anything else." The Doctor replied innocently before turning toward the TARDIS' wardrobe again.

"Well I'm not wearing this! Can't believe I left it until now to try this on!"

"C'mon Rose. It could be worse." The Doctor turned and held up a wonder-woman costume with a wide grin.

"Why do you even?...Oh I don't want to know."

She tried to pull the shocking, hot pink dress down to cover her thighs and keep some of her dignity.

"It's really not too bad."

Spinning around from the mirror Rose looked him up and down, "it really is! If my mum sees me wearing this…"

"Stop stressing, you look fine Rose." He reached forward with the brief intention of giving her a reassuring hug, but dropped his arms as he decided it was inappropriate. Instead he stood in front of her smiling awkwardly.

"Stop gawking, it's not even a little bit funny, yeah."

"It is. Just a tiny bit."

Rose finally gave him a small smile, her tongue between her teeth. Teasing him.

Making his way down the stairs toward the front door the Doctor cursed under his breath. He had to get his feelings for Rose Tyler under control. It was embarrassing really. A Time Lord falling in lo… No he even refused to think the word. Especially because she was human. It would all only end in tears.

"What're you thinking about?" Rose interrupted his thoughts cocking her head to one side.

"It's nothing." The Doctor shook his head trying to dislodge his thoughts. "So, are you sure you can do this?"

"Are you doubting me?"

The Doctor rubbed the lobe of his ear between his thumb and forefinger, "well…"

Rose pushed him playfully, "I travel around with you, running away from any and every alien imaginable and you don't trust me to do this one thing."

The Doctor grimaced. Trust was not even an issue. He trusted her to the end of the universe, literally. His own jealousy was the problem. He just wanted her to come back safe and sound.

"Doctor it's only one dinner. I promise that you won't even miss me. I'll be back before you know it."

He opened the door for her, "be careful. You never know what he's after. Especially because he's not human."

Rose paused before she left him. "Never known you to be prejudiced against Aliens. Not Jealous are we?" She smiled cheekily. "It's one date. I'll be fine."

"Will you at least tell me his name?" The Doctor pleaded as she walked out the door.

"You'll probably know him and ruin him for me. So, no." With a last smile Rose swung a black handbag over her shoulder and wandered off into the bustling London streets.
