I guess you guys didn't really like the last chapter, huh? I'm sorry :( But here is a new one that is hopefuly better thought it is un-checked and terribly crappy... but its just in time for Christmas! Read, review and enjoy! Happy Christmas!
"Rose, honestly I don't see the point of this!" The Doctor moaned as Rose dragged him by the hand towards the video store. "I mean it's not even Christmas yet!"
"I am well aware that it is not Christmas, thank you!" The Doctor rolled his eyes at Rose's attempt to be stern. "But as you have pointed out, time and time again, time doesn't run in a straight line – it's more of a big ball of wibbly wobbly-"
"Timey wimey stuff, yeah" The Doctor finished "So you want me to pretend that it is Christmas on the TARDIS so that you can watch these silly Christmas movies?"
"Excuse me! Its A Wonderful Life is not a silly movie! But yes that is the general idea!" The Doctor looked unimpressed and Rose froze in her tracks. A small smile crept up her face as she walked closer to him. The Doctor knew what she was going to do next and immediately averted his gaze away from her. If there was one thing he couldn't resist it was Rose Tyler and her puppy-dog eyes.
"Doctor?" Rose cooed in a sing-song voice.
"Mm-hmm?" he responded, keeping his focus on the cracked wall beside them.
"Please?" He chanced a glance at her and all hope was lost for his sinking ship. Her big brown eyes met his and her tongue peeked out from between her pink lips.
"Fine" He said, defeated. Rose squealed with happiness and kissed his cheek quickly.
"Thank you!"
"You're very welcome. Now you go ahead and get the movies and I'll go to Tesco. I'll meet you at the TARDIS at 2100 hours, alright Louis?" She glanced at her watch - that gave her 1 hour.
Rose smiled, "Yes sir!" She saluted him before running off down the road. The Doctor smiled as he watched her disappear into the crowd of late night shoppers. He touched the place on his cheek where she had kissed him and he could have sworn it was tingling. Shaking his head he crossed the road and headed into the glowing Tesco.

45 minutes later Rose made her way back the TARDIS, satisfied with her purchases. They hadn't landed in December so all of her favourite Christmas movies were in stock. She had rented Miracle on 34th Street, Elf, It's a Wonderful Life (obviously), Home Alone 1, 2, and 3, and The Nightmare before Christmas. She even rented It's A Very Muppet Christmas Movie to keep the Doctor happy. He loved the Muppets.
She placed her key in the lock and stepped through the door. What she saw made her jaw drop and her heart swell. The Doctor had wound tinsel around the bars and up the central column. Baubles were hanging around the console and standing beside the glittery console was the Doctor with a Santa Hat over his messy brown hair. In his hands was small pink parcel.
"Merry Christmas Rose!" he smiled as she took in the festive room. Her grin doubled in size when he held out the small gift to her. "For you" He said, tossing it over to her.
She squealed in joy as she caught it and tore off the wrapping. Her smile shrank as a pair of socks fell into her palms. "Er, thanks" she said trying to hide her disappointment. What had she expected, as diamond ring?
"I knew you'd like them!" he laughed, before taking her hand and dragging her towards the sitting room. They stopped outside the door and the Doctor placed his hands over Rose's eyes.
"Oi! What do ya think your doin'?" Rose cried.
"Just shut up and push the door open" the Doctor ordered. Rose did as she was told and stepped cautiously into the room. She heard the Doctor close the door and then he dropped his hands.
She gasped and all her disappointment from the socks vanished. The Doctor had managed to transform the room into something out of a Christmas catalogue. There was a big tree in the centre complete with presents underneath; a fire was crackling in the fireplace sending a warm glow around the room. In front of the big TV he had placed a table full of Christmas snacks such as mince pies, Quality Street and candy canes. Beside them was a bowl full of marshmallows and a flask full of what only could be hot chocolate.
Rose felt the Doctor's hand slip into hers as he asked "Do you like it?" She detected a hint of nervousness in his voice and she decided to tease him.
"No" she said, biting her lip to stop a smile.
"Oh" he said, sounding defeated "well if you want I can try-" he was silenced by Rose placing a finger to his lips.
"I love it" she continued. The Doctor sighed in relief and Rose squeezed his hand.
"You little tease, Rose Tyler. I thought all my hard work was gone to waste!" Rose chuckled and dropped his hand.
"Movies?" She asked.
"Movies." He confirmed.
--~"Tis the season to be jolly FALALALALALALALALA"~--
As the credits of Miracle On 34th Street rolled the Doctor looked over at Rose. She had the pink scarf he had placed under the tree wrapped around her and a silly paper crown on her head.
They had done all of the traditional Christmassy things and although it was all very domestic the Doctor was happy as long as Rose was happy.
He wasn't sure when he had fallen for her, but he did know that he had fallen hard. The thought of her being unhappy made him unhappy. Her smile was too beautiful to be replaced by a frown, she was too beautiful. In fact-
"A penny for your thoughts?" Rose's voice broke through his thoughts and their eyes met.
"I was er... just thinking about... well... you, actually." He stammered, not being able to think of an excuse on time he just told her the truth. He mentally smacked his forehead.
"Oh yeah?" Rose giggled, "What about me?" The Doctor felt a blush creep up his neck.
"Erm..." he paused and studied Rose's expectant face.
"You know you can tell me anything Doctor. I'm your best friend!" The Doctor tried to hide his disappointment at the term 'friend', he preferred 'Soul Mate'. He mentally smacked himself again, when had be become such as sap?
"Well actually, I was just thinking about how, well, about how beautiful you are when you're happy" The Doctor couldn't remember giving himself permission to speak. He watched Roses look of shock before she smiled.
"I think you've had too much mulled wine!" He laughed with her and then pulled her close into a hug. He then wrapped an arm around her shoulder as the next movie began. He recognized the opening tune to A Very Muppet Christmas Movie and beamed at the blonde beauty beside him.
"What did I do to deserve you?" he asked her. She blushed and snuggled closer in to him.
"I've been asking myself the same question for the past two years" she answered, making him smile. He kissed the top of her head and then turned his attention back to Kermit the Frog.
--~"Don we now our gay apparel FALALALALALALALALA"~--
The Doctor and Rose sat huddled together on the plush couch sipping hot chocolate and sucking on candy canes.
"Today was wonderful, Doctor. I can't thank you enough"
"Don't mention it Rose, I'm happy once you're happy" Rose smiled and then yawned. "Bed time for the human?" the Doctor asked.
"I think so" Rose yawned again. The Doctor laughed and took her mug away, placing it on the floor.
"I have one more gift for you Rose" he said, enjoying the way Rose's face lit up. He loved spoiling her as much as she loved being spoilt. "Close your eyes" Rose nodded and closed them, yawning again. "Hold out your hands" Again Rose obeyed.
The Doctor placed a slender box into her hands and Rose opened her eyes. She smiled and ripped open the paper. Inside was a velvet box.
"What is it?" she asked, hesitantly. It looked expensive.
"Open it and see!" he smiled, watching her intently.
Rose cracked the box open and gasped. Inside was a silver charm bracelet that looked like nothing she had ever seen before.
"Do you like it?" He asked, unable to read her eyes. Was that a tear of happiness of disgust?
"I love it! It's beautiful!" She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him like there was no tomorrow.
When they broke apart the Doctor placed the bracelet on her. Loving the way it looked against her cream skin. Rose examined the three charms already on it and her eyes watered when she saw a small police box, a miniature rose and a little Christmas tree.
"Thank you, it's too much" she whispered.
"Don't worry about it, you're worth every penny"
"Walk me to my room?" she asked. The Doctor nodded and happily took her hand. They got to her door and the turned to face each other.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" she smiled, "I got you something too!" The Doctor grinned.
"Really?"
"Mmhmm, close your eyes" This time it was the Doctor's time to obey, and obey he did. "Open" she commanded and he did. He was momentarily confused until he noticed Rose's arm was held up in the air. He followed the curve of her elbow and saw something green hand from between her fingers. Mistletoe.
"Merry Christmas Doctor" Rose whispered as he looked down at her. She didn't give him a chance to respond before she kissed him. He kissed her back enthusiastically nipping and her lip and clutching it her waist.
Rose thought he tasted like Christmas.
