Street Corner, 2AM
Rose had almost fallen asleep against the Doctor's shoulder, exhausted after their travel from Bad Wolf Bay. But she straightened up at his cry.
"Stop!" the Doctor exclaimed excitedly, bouncing in his seat.
Rose looked out the window, but saw nothing unusual. Just Westminster, Big Ben, a zebra crossing, and a streetlight.
"Let's get a taxi, Rose!"
Jackie looked ready to protest. It was so late, but Rose was used to this kind of spontaneity from him and accepted it. In truth, she'd missed it.
"It's fine, mum," she said. "We'll see you soon."
Jackie shook her head, muttering under her breath before waving goodbye.
Once they were alone on the street corner, Rose grabbed the mobile her mum had slipped her, ready to call a taxi service. Before she could punch in the numbers, the Doctor turned to her.
"Look at us! Street corner at two am, waiting for a taxi. This is the kind of life I never thought I could have, and I get to spend it with you, Rose Tyler! Can you believe it?"
"And that's really what you want?" she asked shyly. So much had changed in the last day and they had so much to discuss.
"More than anything," he assured her, beaming.
"Me too." She clasped his hand, and then placed the call.
