Prompt 6: Pride
The Doctor watched in amused silence as Rose lifted the small, purple, alien child onto her hip. She was surrounded by at least ten of them, each one reaching for her to hold or pay attention to them. The older ones in the group were talking away excitedly, telling Rose stories about this and that. She was doing her best to keep up with their conversations and found herself laughing at the many small voices flowing all around her. The Doctor smiled at that. She seemed so natural being around all these creatures she knew almost nothing about.
The Children of Klora had taken to Rose immediately. They had never seen blonde hair in their lives, and they were simply fascinated with her. Rose was self conscious at first, shyly smiling and nodding as the children tried to get her to play, but with the Doctor's encouragement, she was soon running around and having fun with the lot of them. He could only beam at her now as he watched them play. He was so proud of her, his pink and yellow girl. Not many people could handle meeting new alien lifeforms almost every day, much less run around and playing with them. He knew he had made the right choice in picking Rose Tyler to be his companion, and if he ever had to choose again, it would still be her. Every time.
