"I think I got it!" He spun from the table and rushed to the control panel. "Usage signs, normal, good…Good morning, Rose!" She smiled at him with her sleepy pair of eyes.
"'Morning. What're you up to?"
"Wood!" He threw up his hands. "Got a new setting for the Sonic Screwdriver." The controls beeped, and he scurried to the buttons to give them a gentle press. "Oh yes, you like that, don't you?" Rose rolled her eyes. Between the Screwdriver and the TARDIS, she was never quite alone with The Doctor.
He pulled the tool from the wires connecting it to the center controls. "Let's give it a go." He pointed it at the TARDIS doors with a flourish. Instead of revealing the rolling hills of a new planet or even cracking open for a bit of fresh air, the doors stayed still—and Rose levitated.
"Doctor?"
"Mm, strange…come on, now!"
"Doctor!"
"Yes?" He snapped to attention, glee spreading over his features as he saw the predicament. "Why, Rose! You're flying."
"And it's only eight in the morning." She rubbed her eyes. "A bit early for defying gravity if you ask me."
"Brilliant!" He stood on his tiptoes and circled her. Rose wanted to be mad with him, just a little bit, but being eye level with her Doctor made it hard to hold in her smile. Besides, she was in the air! She tested it out with a few steps. It felt just like walking on sidewalk—easy, really. Rose jumped and landed a foot above the ground. She laughed aloud. "Want me to turn it up?" The Doctor asked from behind a few knobs and switches.
"This is great!" She skipped around the TARDIS's panels and reached out a hand. "Join me, Doctor."
He pointed the Screwdriver at the ceiling and raised himself up. He couldn't resist taking her hand and spinning her. "Bet you've never been to a dance like this."
"Maybe I'd have gone to those school formals if they had anti-gravity." At the mention of itself, the force keeping them upright let go.
"I've got you." He winced. And the floor's got me." She giggled.
"I like that setting."
"Me too. I think we'll keep it."
"Mm." She gave him a quick kiss and relaxed into his arms. "Just don't go using it on me when I'm not paying attention."
"Don't think you'll want to look down, then." Rose took her eyes off her Doctor and looked around. They were almost at the ceiling of the TARDIS. "You have to admit, nice view."
"You're better," she mumbled, settling back into his arms. He patted her back. Time and time again, he would show her miracles, and she'd still choose to look at him.
