The Doctor was looking at Rose amused by the fact she was wrapping a scarf around his neck. She had insisting on him having it because of how cold the weather was lately. She didn't want him to be cold, and he liked the fact that she was so attentive to him and trying to take care of him like he was taking care of her. It was amusing him because he didn't need any scarf or coat. His superior biology was taking the variations of temperature in charge, and he didn't have to worry about such unimportant things. Anyway, he didn't mind Rose wrapping a scarf around his neck. He was doing the same for her. She was immune against the smallest viruses thanks to the dormant Bad Wolf in her mind, but it was an old habit for her to get ready to face the cold. A human habit she didn't need anymore.

The scarf reminded him of one of his past selves. The fourth Doctor used to wear a very long and colourful scarf and that was why the situation was amusing him so much. He had gotten rid of the scarf in his fifth incarnation – to replace it with a branch of celery, that wasn't much better – and he could have missed it at times. It was a nice memory to think about for once. He wished to have more nice memories like that. It was making him smile.

"You are thinking about something nice, Doctor."

"How do you know?"

"You are smiling."

"I am always smiling."

"This you is indeed. What is making you smile that way?"

"The scarf reminds me of a past self."

"You used to wear a scar?"

"My fourth self used to. A very long and colourful scarf. I had a hat too. And I was very tall."

"I wish I could have seen that."

"Wait for it."

He grabbed the scanner screen and brought it back to them as the TARDIS was looking for a picture of him in his fourth incarnation. When it appeared on the screen, Rose curiously looked at the picture. She couldn't help but giggle a bit at it.

"Oi!"

"Sorry. But you had a very peculiar style back then."

"You should have seen my sixth self."

Another picture appeared on the screen and Rose couldn't hold back her laugh that time. The Doctor pouted at her mocking him but she nudged him gently. She loved spending those little moments with him, when he was sharing those moments of his past without being ashamed. She would just mock him a bit, but it was never mean. After that moment of laugh, she took his hand and led him outside to face their new adventure that was only waiting for them...
