CHAPTER 52
I do not own Doctor Who, and I am making no profit off of this.
Thank you for all of your favorites, follows, story alerts, and reviews!
I added the Tuxedo of Doom in for a minute thanks to a suggestion from Greekgirrl. I can't believe that I forgot about it for the first part!
Special Note: I have a poll up now on my profile that invites all of my readers to make a choice as to what Jenny's second name should be. I'll keep it up a few more days until we have a clear winner, and then I'll put the answer in as Jenny's new battle name in War of the Guardians.
The wedding was back on schedule once more. Lily had taken everyone who belonged there back to the Land of Fiction. All of them went back except for Robin Hood, of course. She came back with him as her special guest to the wedding. Rose couldn't say that she was too surprised. It was obvious that the two of them had something going on with each other. Her mother kept trying to deny it though.
The Face of Boe had gotten his employees to clean up the wedding hall in record time. Everything was soon set back in place where it had been before the battle knocked it all over the place, and the chairs were placed back in the center of the room.
The guests were all seated once again, and they all waited in breathless anticipation for the ceremony to start back up again. They were all half afraid that someone else would barge in and interrupt the wedding again, but this time thankfully no one came.
Novice Hame finally came back out again, and the Doctor joined her a minute later.
Several of the Doctor's old companions gasped as they recognized that he had changed from the suit that he had been wearing earlier and into the Tuxedo of Doom!
Martha stomped up to the stage and said, "What are you thinking wearing that? Hasn't this day been bad enough already?!:
"My suit was damaged in the fight, and this was all that I had left to wear that fit the occasion!" the Doctor pouted.
"Really?! The TARDIS couldn't have given you something?" Donna shouted to him as she too noticed what he was wearing.
"I'm going to prove that this suit isn't cursed! Besides I look cool in it. You said I look like James Bond yourself, Martha," the Doctor said with a smug look on his face.
"That was your last incarnation. Although you do still look pretty good in it," Martha had to admit.
Donna flashed her an angry look.
"You're not helping, Martha! He needs to change into something else right away before Rose sees him. She'll slap him silly," Donna said.
"I'm keeping this on. No one's changing my mind either," The Doctor said with determination.
A second later, River Song appeared out of thin air with a meson blaster in her hand pointed straight at him!
"Back into the TARDIS, now!" She ordered him.
The Doctor gave Amy an angry stare as she laughed at him. It was obvious who had ratted him out to River!
"Traitor!" he said to her.
The women dragged him pouting back into the TARDIS as the guests laughed at his antics.
Rose could hear them laughing all the way back in her dressing room. She was fixing her wedding dress and making it all clean again with her Bad Wolf powers after it had been through the ringer during the fight.
"What is going on out there?" Rose asked Lily, who had just come in from the wedding hall.
"Nothing. The Doctor is just being his usual stupid self," Lily lied.
"He wore the Tuxedo of Doom, didn't he?" Rose asked with a sigh.
Lily nodded with a grin on her face.
"I knew it! I'm surprised he didn't wear it the first time! He just loves that thing for some reason. Well, I assume that the others are making him change it then?" Rose asked.
Lily nodded again with a giggle.
"River made sure of it!" she said.
Rose laughed at that image as she said, "Bless that woman! She saved me from having to give him the mother of all slaps! I would hate to do that on our wedding day. At least I would hate to do it in front of everyone else anyway! I don't want everyone to think that I'm violent!"
"It's okay, Rose. They all know the Doctor so they won't think a thing about it if they see you slap him around a little!" Lily said with a snicker.
Rose laughed at her and hugged her.
"I'm so glad that you're here! I thought that I had lost you forever!" Rose said. and she started to get upset.
Lily immediately hugged her and whispered, "Not a chance! I'm too tough to die! Everyone knows that! Stop crying. This is a happy day."
Then, Lily smiled as she attempted to cheer Rose up.
"On second thought, you're marrying the Doctor . . . again! Maybe you should be crying," she joked.
Rose smiled and hugged her mother close again.
They could hear the wedding music start, and Rose put her wedding gown back on with a snap of her fingers.
"There's my cue!" Rose said.
This time, Lily led Rose down the aisle with Pete on her other side once again. Koschei had graciously bowed out this time at Lily's request. He hadn't been too eager to show himself this time anyway after what had happened before with the other Koschei. He didn't want to mar Rose's moment any more than it already had been.
The Doctor was now wearing another black suit with a black bow tie on top. It looked better made and more expensive than the original one had. The Doctor had to admit that the girls had been right. This suit was certainly a better choice than the Tuxedo of Doom had been.
He gawked at Rose again in the dress even though he had already seen her in it. She still took his breath away every time he saw her in it!
She stood next to him, and the ceremony started up once again with Novice Hame looking like she was about to cough up a hairball from nervousness.
"Ladies and gentlemen and other assorted beings, we are gathered here today to witness the wedding between these two most extraordinary people. I am honored to perform this ceremony for them as they renew their vows today. I must ask everyone again that if anyone has just cause as to why these two people should not be married, please let them speak now," Novice Hame said as she looked like she desperately hoped that no one would.
Donna stood up and gave everyone in the room a death glare for several long moments.
No one made a sound except for Rose who was trying very hard to stifle a laugh.
As Donna sat back down, Novice Hame resumed the ceremony.
"Do either of you have anything to say to each other before I ask you to renew your vows?" she said to the Time Lord couple.
The Doctor spoke first.
"I've loved you almost as long as I can remember. I loved you before I even knew what that word really meant. Everything I've ever done and everything that I've become is all because of you. I always did my best to make you proud of me even when I thought that you were dead. I never wanted to do anything to make me unworthy of you. Not that I ever was worthy! You are the most beautiful woman in all of creation, and I could not hope to be good enough to even glance at you across a crowded room. Yet, here I am! The luckiest man in the entire universe! Not only did I get you to marry me once but twice. I also got the chance to fall in love with you all over again as Rose, when I didn't even know who you were. It just shows how we were meant to be with each other because we found each other over and over again no matter how much the universe tried to keep us apart! I love you so much that I would gladly marry you a thousand times over if you asked me to!" he said with a tear in his eyes at the end.
Rose looked at him with tears in her own eyes.
"I'm the lucky one! You're the most magnificent man in all of time and space! You always put yourself on the line saving everyone over and over again without hesitation. You never think about what's in it for you. You just go and help people whenever they need it. No one ever thanks you, and you never get a reward. You never even ask for one. You're the most selfless man I've ever known! You're a real hero if ever there was one! I consider myself privileged to get to be that special someone who gets to fight by your side. I'm the one who never quite feels worthy of you! I'm so glad that you want to marry me not once but twice, and I'll tell you right now that I would be all too willing to marry you that thousand times if you asked me to!" Rose said with pure joy in her eyes.
Now the Doctor was openly crying without stopping.
"Do we have the rings?" Novice Hame asked.
Violet quickly gave the real ring to Mickey and took the fake one. He then proceeded to walk up the aisle and give them to the Doctor.
"Doctor, do you take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife?" Novice Hame asked.
"I do," he said as he placed her ring on her finger.
"Rose Marion Tyler or Arkytior of the House of Lupinesglen, do you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband?" Novice Hame asked.
"I do," she said as she placed his original wedding ring back on his finger.
Novice Hame smiled as she said, "Then by the power invested in me by the government of New Earth and by special dispensation of Lady President Romana of the Time Lords, I now pronounce you once again man and wife! You may kiss the bride."
The Doctor lifted Rose's veil and gave her a long passionate kiss. Everyone in the room cheered and clapped in appreciation as they stood on their feet. Captain Jack let out a wolf whistle!
"I give you the Heads of the House of Lungbarrow!" Novice Hame said proudly as she finished the ceremony.
There was a huge cake with figures of the Doctor and Rose on top that looked amazingly like them at the reception afterwards. Rose cut the first piece of cake and licked a bit of the icing from her finger. As everyone sat down to eat, it was time for the toasts.
Jack stood up first. The Doctor began to sweat. He hoped that he hadn't made a mistake in letting Jack make a toast! Rose smiled an evil grin. If she knew Jack, this would be good!
"I've come here today to celebrate the Doctor's marriage to Rose as his Best Man. I love both of them like family, and I couldn't ask for two better friends. Rose is just like my little sister, and the Doctor is like the brother I never wanted or even asked for!" Jack started.
Everyone laughed except for the Doctor who began to turn red faced.
"You know it took the Doctor long enough to get together with Rose. I thought it would take him forever just to tell her that she looked nice. You know it took Rose destroying all of the Daleks at the Gamestation before he gave her a kiss. The only way she could get him to kiss her was to become the Bad Wolf! He had to kiss her, or she'd disintegrate him!" Jack joked.
Everyone laughed again but the Doctor who just looked pale.
"Now the two of them have no problem with showing their love for each other. I mean there's a reason why they call him the Doctor! Come on, Rose. I know you know what I'm talking about!" Jack said.
Everyone laughed again except for the Doctor and Rose. Rose had put the veil back over her now red face. She reminded herself to kill Jack later!
"I know he looks like a dweeb with that bow tie and the tweed, but everyone knows exactly why he's called a Lord! It's not just a title! He's earned it! Tell 'em, Rose!" Jack said
Both the Doctor and Rose had slid halfway under the table now in an attempt to hide.
"I'll lay off the hidden innuendos now, folks. My poor friends have suffered enough of my acid tongue. I have to say seriously that I've never known two people who deserved to be together more! I love them both dearly, and I am so glad that they found their way back to each other again. I have just one more thing to say Doctor. If you ever hurt Rose, I'll do the worst thing imaginable to you. I'll tell Donna, Jackie, Lily, Amy, and River on you! They'll make you think back with fondness to the good old days when you were just fighting Daleks and the Master! Just Jackie or Donna alone would send all of your worst enemies fleeing for their lives in terror!" Jack said with a sly grin.
Everyone laughed again except for Donna who glared at Jack. He wasn't winning any friends today!
"Well, I guess I'll end my speech now before Donna causes my head to explode. So here's to the happy couple! Thank you, everyone," Jack said as he took a drink and then sat down.
Donna stood up now and began her speech.
"Hello! I assure you that my speech won't be as slimy as Captain Innuendo's was. This is a wedding after all! I'm here to toast Rose as her Maid of Honor. She is a very special and unique person, and I have to tell you that if it wasn't for her that I wouldn't be here now! She saved my life when someone called the Trickster was trying to destroy me. She made me believe in myself and made me see that I was somebody. I know that if it wasn't for her that I would have never had the strength or courage to take on the Daleks during that whole 27 planets affair. That's what Rose does, she brings out the best in everyone! She always makes the universe seem like a brighter place just when it seems like it's at its darkest, and I'm proud to call her my friend!" Donna said with a warm smile as she looked at Rose.
"I don't know why she wants to marry this big hunk of nothing next to her though, but to each their own I guess. I mean he looks like a kid just out of preschool! People are going to call you a cradle robber, Rose!" Donna said laughing.
Rose put the veil back down on her face again. Her speech had been going so well too! Now she had to add Donna to her hit list.
"I'd still like to know just how the Doctor picked out that outfit. Did the Sontarans pick it out for him? Did he lose a bet? Was he wearing it as part of a Worst Dressed competition? I have no idea! Maybe Rose can do the impossible though and get him to wear some decent clothes.
She'd be doing the universe a favor if she could just burn all of his bow ties for him or at least chuck them in the nearest black hole!" Donna joked.
Somewhere River Song was laughing her head off. Her laughter reverberated throughout the hall.
"You know I'm just kidding you though, Spaceman. I love you to death really! I just hope that you actually dance well today. No more flailing giraffe moves please! You're embarrassing yourself not to mention all of the rest of the Time Lords out there! You make us all look unhip and uncoordinated. They're going to be spreading rumors out there that Time Lords can't dance, and I can dance the rug off the floor thank you very much! I'm a wonderful dancer. Don't make us all look bad, dumbo! Actually do a real dance today, okay!" Donna said to the Doctor with a wicked grin.
The Doctor groaned. It least she's not as bad as Jack though! He thought.
"Okay. I can see by the Doctor's face that I should sit down now. Here's to Rose and the Doctor! Thank you!" Donna said as she took a drink.
Everyone sat down to eat; and then later on, as Donna mentioned, there was a dance. The guests danced to the music of a certain Pop star who looked a lot like Rose.
The Doctor actually did a real dance this time, and he tore up the dance floor with Rose. His dance moves shocked everyone at how good that they were. Now that Rose was back, he actually cared about dancing well again. He wanted to give her only the best today!
"Maybe I got through to him after all," Donna joked as she looked at him in shock.
Once the wedding was over, the Doctor and Rose went off on their second honeymoon in the TARDIS. They went to visit Paris in the late 1800s. Rose had always wanted to go to Paris.
They wound up getting involved in a plot by the Kraal to send an android army to invade the Earth using the Eiffel Tower as a gateway. They had soon wound up chasing the androids through the catacombs of Paris as they attempted to save the city from being blown up by an android who looked an awful lot like a certain popular masked character from a broadway play in the future. It was certainly a novel way of spending a honeymoon, but Rose wouldn't have had it any other way!
Next: The Ouroboros makes another move during the Doctor and Rose's second attempt at a honeymoon as our newlywed couple gets closer to figuring out just who she is. Plus Rose gets her revenge on Jack!
Coming Soon: Rose gets a surprise after her honeymoon. What is it? Also, what's going on between Robin Hood and Lily anyway?
