The Doctor had gotten up early; he laid in bed thinking about Molly and then about Rose.

There was some guilt about what he was doing. He loved Rose but he really enjoyed being around Molly; he just hoped that wasn't wrong.

After a few minutes he slowly got up and began getting ready to go the Police Dept. when the door knocked.

"Come in John!" He called.

John walked in surprised. "How did you know it was me?"

"Sherlock doesn't knock." The Doctor smirked.

"Right." He nodded.

The Doctor started fixing his tie. "So what's on your mind?"

"Nothing." He replied.

The Doctor shrugged and reached for his suit jacket.

John then sat on his bed and sighed heavily.

The Doctor groaned. "I know that sigh; what is it?"

John shot him a look before answering. "I know what you're doing for Molly and that's fine but…"

"But?" He replied.

"Well, to be honest I think you should actually date her."

"What?" The Doctor exclaimed.

"I know it's only been a year since Rose but I think you really like her." John said firmly.

He shook his head and reached for his shoes. "You're nuts."

"Look, I can tell you're not acting. I've seen how you defend her, I've seen how you hold her hand and your face just lightens up when you see her." He said.

"Is there a point to this?"

"Yes, I also think she likes you, too." He replied.

The Doctor laughed. "Oh, come on!"

John scoffed. "I'm serious, she practically glows when you walk into the room."

The Doctor rolled his eyes. "John, I appreciate your observations but Molly and I are just friends; okay just friends."

He then pulled on his coat. "Now, if you'll excuse me I have to meet Sherlock at the crime lab."

The Doctor walked out of the room and John folded his arms. "Still say you like her."

"I heard that!" His voice called.

At the lab Molly was pacing the floor extremely nervous; she had intended to try to call the Doctor again but lost her nerve.

Suddenly she heard a whooshing groaning sound and the TADRIS appeared.

She swallowed and tugged at her ring.

The Doctor came out and smiled. "Hello!"

"Hi." Molly said anxiously.

He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked around.

"Where's Sherlock?"

"Uh, right outside he's arguing with Sally." She replied.

The Doctor chuckled. "I bet."

"Listen I-" She started to say before Sherlock came bursting in scowling. "I can't stand that woman!"

"Always charming the ladies, huh?" The Doctor teased.

"Shut up." He grumbled.

"Aw, don't be upset Sherlock; I've got a surprise." The Doctor smiled.

Sherlock pouted. "What?"

"I got the test sample results from yesterday!"

Sherlock smiled and they headed to the microscope.

Molly quickly followed them. "Um, Doctor?" She said trying to get his attention.

But Sherlock and the Doctor kept talking as they gather around the telescope.

"Doctor?" She said a little louder but no response.

Molly scowled. "Doctor!" She yelled startling them.

They both jumped.

"Really Molly?" Sherlock scolded.

"I-I'm sorry but I needed to say something to the Doctor." She replied softly.

The Doctor looked at her and frowned. "Okay, you have my attention; what is it?"

Molly pressed her lips before blurting out. "I'm looking forward to our special anniversary date this Friday!"

He gawked. "What?"

"What?" Sherlock repeated.

The Doctor was speechless.

"You know Friday Night?" Molly hinted.

Sherlock nudged the Doctor's shoulder and smirked. "Quite the charmer with the human females, eh Doctor?"

"I-I uh." He stuttered.

"Oh, you sly one keeping our special anniversary a secret." She smiled sweetly.

He looked at her confused. "Huh?"

Molly went over to the Doctor and nuzzled his neck.

"I can explain." She whispered.

"I wish you would." He replied.

Molly pulled him over to the other side of the room to explain.

"Molly, have you lost your mind?" He asked.

"I'm sorry but I was desperate to try something different." She replied.

"I told you I'm not ready for a new relationship." The Doctor said.

"I'm not asking you to marry me." She frowned.

He rubbed his eyes in frustration. "Seriously, Molly?"

"Look all I'm asking is a friendly dinner and a movie at my place."

The Doctor groaned. "I don't know."

She looked at him desperately with pleading eyes. "Please?"

"Just dinner with a friend?"

Molly nodded. "Just dinner with a friend."

The Doctor sighed. "Why not, I'll do it."

She squealed with delight and hugged him.

"Thanks." Molly said.

He smiled and lightly tapped her nose. "My pleasure and besides it's sounds like fun."

She grinned and they returned to Sherlock's station holding hands.

"I'm so sorry I forgot Molly. I wouldn't miss our date for anything in the world." He whispered in her ear.

His breath tickled her ear and she blushed.

Sherlock watched and scowled while muttering under his breath.
