Travel Diary: Day Eight

Dear Diary,

Today the Doctor and I visited the year 1953, just in time for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. I was a little disappointed in not meeting Elvis but any time can be fun when you're traveling with the Doctor. Of course, it can also be bloody frightening.

I had quite a bit of a scare today. I got my face sucked off by an evil television set. Seriously; it was called "The Wire" and it ate my face. Don't worry. It got it back safe and sound and so did everyone else thanks to the Doctor. He came to my rescue like he always does.

"Bye!" Rose called out to Tommy before closing the doors of the TARDIS and walking over to the console. She leaned back against it blocking a dial that she knew to be necessary in setting the TARDIS's flight pattern. She did on purpose.

At first the Doctor didn't notice. He went about doing other things. He ran a quick diagnostic to make sure nothing was wrong with any buttons of switches, because the tiniest switch could cause a world of damage and potential danger. Then he released the hand brakes and fired up the turbines. It was only after all this that he noticed just exactly where Rose was standing.

"Rose." He said to her.

"Yes Doctor?" Came Rose's prompt reply while she stared up at him innocently.

"How an I supposed to get to the warp accelerator with you standing there? Hmm?" He asked walking over a facing her. She shrugged.

"I'm sure you'll think of something." She giggled and smiled a wide grin. The tip of her tongue was sticking out between her teeth and the doctor found himself having trouble concentrating. Slowly he reached one arm around her and tried to locate the accelerator without looking.

He failed. He raised an eyebrow in question hoping she would back down. She didn't even blink. With a small, slightly nervous chuckle ha learned forward until he was pressed completely against her. Looking over her shoulder he quickly set the accelerator and sent the TARDIS into an easy orbit around the 1700's.

But as the Doctor began to pull away he found Rose's arms wrapped around his neck. She smiled at him unsure what to do next. Their relationship was entering a new phase that neither of them had planned for. Even Rose, who had initiated it was blushing bright red. She disentangled her arms from the Doctor but he didn't pull away. Instead he brought a hand up and gently brushed it along her jaw line.

"Oh how I've missed your smile," The Doctor said, "When I saw you there with your face stolen away, I-" He broke off, "Well let's just say, nothing could stop me until I saw that smile again." He leaned down and pressed a small kiss to her lips which stopped smiling long enough to return it.

"Rose." The Doctor whispered unsure how to explain these feeling so alien to him. She kissed him once more, cutting him off.

"Goodnight Doctor." She said and scooted under his arm and away.

It's all untested for us. I'm not sure how long it's been since the Doctor has had a girlfriend. I know he had a wife but I don't know much about Gallifreyn culture because the Doctor refuses to talk about it. So it's possible that he's never had one and that marriages were arranged.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. It's just a bit of snogging right now and nothing is for sure. He might try to pull the, me Timelord, you human card. Honestly, I'm surprised he hasn't even hinted at the age gap yet. Maybe it just means that he wants this too.

Fingers crossed and breath held,
Rose
