Chapter 11: I Want To Hold Your Hand

When Jack, Rose and the Doctor giggling came back to the TARDIS, they were all exhausted. But they were too giggly and pumped up to go to bed.

"Let's listen to some music, we never did get to go to a concert. Since you took us to 1860 instead of 1960." Rose said with a grin.

"Oh I have the perfect album." Jack smirked. He had a song that described these two perfectly. "Beatles, Love album."

"Oh I love the Beatles!" Rose exclaimed as Jack slid the CD into the monitor.

"You do? You should have told me, I would have taken you to see them." Said the Doctor.

"Oh really? Thank you!" Rose grabbed his hands and spun around in a circle. As, I want to hold your hand, started to play. "Oh I love this one! Oh yeah I, tell you something. I think you'll understand."

"When I say that something, I want to hold your hand!" The Doctor was shocked, Rose could sing. Like really sing well. But he realized something as he and Rose spun and sang. This song described them perfectly. Right down to 'the love I can't hide' part. He did feel happy inside. The Doctor looked over at Jack and raised one eyebrow. Jack just winked. The Doctor just shook his head, Rose obviously hadn't noticed.

Rose was freaking out a bit. Jack totally put this song in on purpose. It described her feelings for the Doctor perfectly. She tried not to show how freaked out she was. She looked at Jack add he just winked, while reclining on the jump seat. She sighed, she was glad the Doctor hadn't noticed how true the words of the song were.

Jack was a little smug. Both of his friends had realized the meaning of the song. But it was very frustrating they didn't realize it in relation to each other. Just admit your feelings already. The sexual and emotional tension was killing him. He had to take cold showers every night after just being in the same room as their flirting. Rose and her tongue and the Doctor and his oral fixation. These two would be the death of him. But he started feeling like a third wheel so on Something, he stepped up and bowed and asked Rose if he could have a dance.

"I wold be delighted young sir." She took his outstretched hand he twirled her and caught her in his arms. They swayed as the song played, 'somewhere in her smile she knows, that I don't need no other lover'. They smiled.

"Yeah right, Mr. shag everything that moves." Said Rose. Jack just winked.

The Doctor wanted to dance to this song with Rose, he scowled at Jack when he dipped her at the 'I don't know,' part. This song described his feelings for Rose. He believed in her. And she must know right? He'd thought he'd been pretty obvious. The Doctor stole her back Help.

"Help, I need somebody, Help! Not just anybody, Help! You know I need someone, Help!" He sang to her as he spun her around. No not just anybody, he needed her. He needed his Rose. When the song changed to Yesterday, he paused and said, "may I have this dance milady?"

"I would be honored, milord." She replied.

"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Life looks as though they're here to stay." He sang and she smiled.

"I believe in Yesterday. Suddenly..."she sang back. And they just danced for a minute.

"I'm not half the man I used to be. There's a shadow hanging over me. Oh Yesterday came suddenly. Oh why did she have to go, I don't know. She wouldn't say." He paused at that. Everyone leaves. Even Rose.

"What's wrong?" Rose asked concerned.

"Everyone leaves. Even you will someday." He replied looking at her sadly.

"Never." She smiled. And they danced even as the song finished. They still danced to Strawberry fields.

For the next hour they spun and laughed and just reveled in each other's company. Somewhere around Come Together, Jack had gone to take a shower. But Rose and the Doctor still danced until their feet hurt. But in the middle of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band they collapsed on the jump seat. But they still sang to the end of All You Need is Love. As the final notes of the song faded away, the two friends were left just looking at each other in silence. They each were thinking about the last song and each other.

She is beautiful. I wonder if she knows that. She probably does I mean the pretty boys flock around her wherever we go. She must, I wonder if she knows how I feel. That I... Love her. Oh yes I love her, as much as my two hearts ever could. He loved her when she was dressed up for parties, and when she flirted. But he adored her when she cried over the cruelty of others. When they see people in slavery and she wants to help them. When she gives a poor boy some money or a piece of bread. That's when she is his world. His light in the darkness. His life. His Rose.

He's amazing. And he knows it, he's arrogant. But he's compassionate and kind. He's smarter than anyone in the universe. and his enthusiasm for the universe keeps me going when everything seems so probably knows how I feel about him. How much I love him. Yes I love him, but he doesn't feel the same. He's an almighty Time Lord. So much more than a stupid ape. Yes she loved him. No matter what. She even loved him despite what he's done. Because she knew that he hates guns and mindless killing. He would never hurt anyone unless it was necessary. And that's why she trusted him to put her in danger. She knew that he would save the universe. He always saves the universe. Her Doctor.

"You know it's not all you need." Said the Doctor out of nowhere.

"What?" Rose asked confused.

"Love, it's not all you need. I mean its necessary to eat and breathe and drink and have sunlight. Love won't give you that. If all you had was love you would die very quickly. Maybe it means you would die happy. But nevertheless I know plenty of people that are perfectly happy and alive without love. In fact on the planet Nardio in the galaxy sardopia 32, it is illegal to love. And on my planet it was considered very strange to fall in love." The Doctor rambled. Rose was shocked, that was the first time he had volunteered information about Gallifrey. She quickly recovered.

"Maybe the Beatles were too stoned to care." She grinned with her tongue poking out.

"Maybe." The Doctor grinned back and tapped her nose. Rose turned over so she was facing the ceiling.

"Either way, I like that song. It's in my favorite movie." She said.

"What's your favorite movie?" The Doctor was curious now.

"Moulin Rouge." Se had a dreamy smile on her face. "Ewan McGregor is very attractive."

"I've never seen that. Is it good?" He asked.

"Is it good?" She sputtered, standing up. "It's amazing. I guarantee that you will laugh and bawl your eyes out."

"I seriously doubt it." He scoffed standing as well.

"Oh really? Well I bet you ten quid that you will be crying by the end of the movie." She raised her eyebrow.

"You are on." He said.

"I'll go get Jack." She said and sauntered away. He watched open mouthed behind her as her hips swung in her short dress.
