Cynthia's POV

What is the Doctor's surprise? What is waiting for her?

As I walked to my room, I replayed the day's events in my head. The good, the bad, the incredible and the just plain awkward.

"Why did I think it was okay to go and run off to grab coffee with some random guy?" I asked myself, regretting that idea.

Man that was stupid. And the Doctor… he was so upset. So hurt… It was something I never wanted to see again. I wouldn't be able to bear it. To know his eyes were filled with pain and anger, sorrow and hurt, all because of me... Because of something I had done…

"Cynthia. Stop that." I chided myself as I reached my bedroom door. "You two made up, he took you to amazing places and he has a surprise for you. So cheer up and don't ruin it!"

After standing outside for a few moments, wondering what could be inside, I opened the door. Automatically, my jaw dropped and my eyes watered. I couldn't believe what I saw in front of me.

I walked in and closed the door, looking around the room in amazement and admiration. The floor was scattered with white and red rose petals, looking as if they had come right out of the flower garden, their scent filling the entire room. On my bookshelves, nightstand and anything else with a top, white candles were lit, lighting the room with a dim, orange glow. I then turned my attention to the bed, where more rose petals were scattered around a beautiful TARDIS blue dress with a sheer, sleeveless design on the stop of it and a gorgeous silk on the rest of it. Starting at the waistline and spreading across the dress, were little silver beads that shone and shimmered in the light, causing the dress to look like it was covered in stars. The length was absolutely perfect as for it went all the way down to the ankles. I let out a relieved sigh, glad I wouldn't have to worry about stepping on it or tripping over it because it was too long.

After taking it all in for a few more seconds, I walked to the bed and found a note sitting on the dress with a white rose on top, thorns removed from it. I picked the note up and opened it, reading what was elegantly written in it:

"Cynthia,

I removed the thorns from this rose because I didn't want you to get hurt. You're like a rose, fragile and delicate, beautiful and astounding, bright and brilliant, unique and exceptional, irreplaceable, wonderful, and so much more.

Today, I was a thorn. I pierced you and made you cry, I tore you and made you leave my side.

Even though it was for only a few minutes… it felt like an eternity. I couldn't bear to do that to you again. I never want to. .

You're my key to my TARDIS, my bowtie to my suspenders, my fish fingers to my custard (even though it sounds disgusting, it's actually really good), my sonic to my screwdriver, and you're the "Let's go" to my "Geronimo."

These words I've said don't even scratch the surface.

Oh! By the way! I found this dress in a shop while I was on my way to find you and knew the moment I saw it that it was yours.

Put this on and meet me in the "surprise room". Don't worry, the TARDIS will show you the way.

Now, with that said, I should have had enough time to make sure everything was perfect.

I'll see you in a few minutes.

Love,

The Doctor

P.S. Yes, this is my hand writing. Yes, it is elegant and beautiful. What did you expect? Chicken scratch? I never write so feel special, missy! (I hope you already do)

P.P.S. I hope I got you the right size dress. I just guesstimated on what size you wore. Yes, I did just say guesstimated. It's guessing and estimated together! Isn't it amazing?"

I put the note down and smiled, only to pick it up and read it again.

Once I read the note for the billionth time, I picked up the dress and walked over to the mirror, holding it up to me to see what it looked like.

"Wow. This dress looks beautiful." I murmured to myself, watching the candlelight reflect off of it. "I just hope it looks this good on me."

With that, I went to the bathroom to go and try it on, hoping that I could make myself look presentable for his surprise.

After a few minutes of touching up my makeup and putting on the dress, I walked out to my room for one last inspection in my full-length mirror.

When I saw myself, I couldn't help but gasp and cover my mouth in amazement as I gazed at my reflection.

"That's me?" I asked aloud, turning around to look at me from both sides, making sure I wasn't just seeing things. "Yeah. That's definitely me."

I looked… incredible. For me to say that about myself, since I didn't have the highest level of self-confidence, was definitely something new. The dress fit me perfectly. Not a single thing was off with the sizing. I turned and looked at myself again, amazed at the way the dress looked and how it sparkled in the light.

"Well. I guess it's time to go and see the Doctor." I said, making sure everything was perfect once more. "TARDIS, take me to the Doctor." I told her just as my door opened and a pathway appeared in front of me.

I walked down the hallway, looking around to see if there was any sign of the Doctor anywhere. Sadly, there wasn't yet. Right as I got to the end of the hallway, I saw a note sitting on a table with a vase of roses beside it. I picked up the note and began to read it:

"Cynthia,

By now you're probably wondering where the TARDIS is leading you. Well, this room didn't exist until just a few hours ago, actually. Don't worry. It isn't much further from where you are right now. Well, maybe it is a little. By the way, nice shoes. Wait, you're not wearing any!"

I looked around the hallway to see if he was there but didn't see him. How could he have known that? I shrugged, turning my attention back to the note:

"No, I'm not in the hallway and no, I cannot see you. I know you well enough to know that you love to run around barefoot regardless of where you are."

I smiled at his remark, loving the fact that he totally just read my mind before I had even gotten to this table.

"Oh Doctor, you amaze me. You and your correct assumptions!" I said aloud.

"Now, it's time to put this note back down and make your way down the next hall. That's the last one you need to go down until you reach me."

After I read it once more time, I laid it down and made my way down the next hallway, seeing two large doors at the end of it.

"That's definitely new." I told myself, getting closer to it with each step I took. When I got to the doors, I saw another note taped on it at eye level and I took it off, reading what it said.

"Open the doors! Go on! Don't be shy!"

I smiled and taped the note back on the door, making sure it wouldn't fall off before I took another step towards the door.

"Well, here it goes." I said as I reached for the handles, pulling the doors open and entering the room.

As soon as they opened, I was completely awestruck. I walked in and glanced at the room, noticing that I was on a balcony on the second floor of the TARDIS, which I had no idea there was a second floor, and walked to the edge of it.

Once there, I looked up at the ceiling and was completely amazed by it. It looked almost exactly like the ceiling in Beauty and the Beast (my favorite Disney movie) but instead of cherubs and clouds on it, the universe was displayed on it. When I say displayed I don't mean painted. I literally mean displayed. The stars and planets moved, meteors passed by as shooting stars, various planets from far off places made their way across the ceiling. That was only part of it. Hanging from the ceiling was a beautiful diamond chandelier, sparkling like stars in the sky as lights reflected off of it.

I then turned to look around the rest of the room and saw a set of stairs beside me, leading to the first floor. I walked over to them and was about to go down them when I saw the Doctor. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a white undershirt and, of course, a white bowtie. Normally, I would have thought a white bowtie with a white undershirt would look weird, but the Doctor made it look elegant and incredible. I stood there and just stared at him, taking in the entire thing and how handsome he was. He seriously looked the most handsome and charming I had ever seen him. And to think that I thought his little tweed jacket and suspenders were attractive! This absolutely blew that off the charts. As I started to make my way down the stairs, the Doctor heard me and my heart leaped as turned towards me.

There you have it! The surprise room has been revealed! That's not the entire surprise though. Just you wait! ;D
