"Doctor" Rose said coming into the control room. Three months had passed since they'd heard about the wedding and they were going the following day. During those three months the Doctor and Rose had travelled like normal around the universe. They had dropped in at Barcelona, and had a nice holiday together. They were just able to forget about danger and death and able to have a good time together, which they had done. The time away in Paris, also happened to be over Rose's twenty first birthday, which hopefully meant that they would be able to have another nice time on holiday. Just it would be with a few more people that's all.

"Yeah" said his muffled reply from under the console in his usual place at this time.

"Do you have a pass port?" Rose asked and the Doctor slid out from underneath.

"Rose Marion Tyler, I travel around in a big blue box. Do you honestly think that I would have a passport when I don't need one" the Doctor said.
"Yeah okay daft question" Rose said "Bit of a blonde moment"

"You think" the Doctor replied "Why?"

"Because we're going by plane aren't we" Rose said

"What do you mean we're going by plane" the Doctor said.

"Well the plan was that we go to Paris with them and that the day before we go and get the dresses fitted" Rose replied.

"How long are we in Paris for?" the Doctor replied
"A couple of days I think" Rose said

"Okay" the Doctor said after a moment of hesitation to answer the question.

"What no "Oh I don't do planes or aren't we going to take the TARDIS" Rose asked.
"No" the Doctor said and went back under the console to tinker with it again

"That's- different" Rose said.

"Well people change" the Doctor said.
"Don't I just know it" Rose said to herself. "Night Doctor"

"Night Rose" the Doctor replied. The TARDIS could do with a few days of staying still, especially after they'd been to the impossible planet.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It wasn't often when the Doctor felt confused, normally he would of insisted of going in the TARDIS. This time though when he looked up at Rose and saw her questioning look, he realised that she wanted to do this, for a change.

After all like he said to her, it was about time that he did something for her.

At any rate this was going to be a challenge, he didn't do domestic, not often anyway. But he was going to be with Rose, maybe it would be the start of something new, for both of them.

He'd nearly told Ida the way he felt, was that a bad thing that he'd fallen for her. She felt the same way he was certain.

Maybe something would come out of this, which neither of them was expecting.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Rose woke up the next day, she was still in shock at why the Doctor had taken the idea of the plane so well. A year ago he wouldn't of done that, he'd of insisted that they take TARDIS and meet her friends there. Mind you he wouldn't of been coming with her at all, and he certainly wouldn't of spend Christmas with them. He was right people did change.

Rose walked into the control room, after packing her stuff for the next few nights. She came into the console room. He was standing near the door, packing a bag full of things.

"Ready" the Doctor asked turning round to meet her.

"Yeah" Rose said walking up to him "You sure about this?"
"Yep it's about time that I did something for you, anyway I'm sure I can manage a few days in France" The Doctor said smiling at her. "The TARDIS needs a bit of time just staying still anyway"

"Thank you" Rose said a reached up a placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Come on then" he said after a moment and held his hand out to her, Rose could of sworn she saw him blush slightly.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"67 Watford Drive" Rose said as they turned the corner to the street to where they were heading.

"So what's the plan?" the Doctor asked.

"What do you mean what's the plan?" Rose asked/

"I mean what is our cover story?" the Doctor said.

"Oh I hadn't thought of that one yet, just say we've been round Europe" Rose said as they walked up the drive to Shareen's house.

"Classy" the Doctor said.

"Well Shareen's parents were always quite a bit richer" Rose said ringing the doorbell.

"Rose!" and a woman about Rose's age threw her arms around Rose.

"Oh and I guess you must be the Doctor" Shareen said eyeing the Doctor and winking at Rose.

"Come in, I'll put the kettle on" Shareen said "Keesh will be here soon"

"Oh great" Rose said as they walked into the house. "

"So when do we get to meet the lucky man then?" Rose asked as they came in.

"Oh you'll meet him the night before the wedding, you know the day after we get back from Paris"

"Cool" Rose said sitting down next to the Doctor sofa as the doorbell rang again.

"Oh that was good timing" Shareen said running out the kitchen to answer the door.

"You okay?" Rose asked the Doctor.
"Yeah I'm fine" the Doctor replied "Go on go catch up with your friends then"

"Thanks" Rose said.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Rose twirled around in the blue silk bride's maids dress, it fitted perfectly her friends still knew what size she was. She remembered when they were all kids they would go out shopping and wind up buying too many clothes. Most of them were her friend's choice and she could tell that they still hadn't changed in that respect.

They had now gone to the wedding dress shop, to get the final fittings before the wedding and were going to the cinema straight afterwards. The Doctor had been dragged along, but on the condition that he didn't have to carry a lot of bags.

"You coming out Rose, we're busting to see you" Shareen shouted through the curtain of the dressing room.

"Yeah coming" Rose said taking one last look at herself in the mirror before stepping out in front of her friends.

"See I told you that you looked great in blue" Shareen said smiling "You look great Rose"

"Thanks" Rose said and looked at the Doctor who was sitting reading the newspaper, but stopped and looked up at Rose.

"You alright Doctor?" Rose asked trying not to laugh at the Doctor's reaction.

"Yeah fine" the Doctor said, trying to sound casual but not working.

"What do you think?" she asked twirling around for him to see the back of the dress.

"You look beautiful" he said before turning back to his newspaper. Shareen and Keisha were trying very hard to compress their giggles at the moment, but all Rose could do was smile.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Oh come on Rose he was all over you in that shop" Shareen said as they waited whilst the Doctor bought the tickets.

"He so was not" Rose denied even though she knew full well that he had been. "It was only a complement"

"It was more than that Rose and you know it" Keisha replied.

"Mind you he is quite foxy" Shareen said looking at the Doctor closely.

"Oi! do you mind" Rose said "Your not aloud to do that"

"Nah your just jealous because your not marrying anyone"

"Yeah well three guesses who'll be next in line" Keisha said

"There is nothing going on between us" Rose said "It's c-"

"Complicated" the two other's finished her sentence for her.

"Look here he comes so will you two shut up" Rose told the other two, she didn't think that the Doctor would want to hear them talking about him like that.

"Hello" the Doctor said coming up to them. "You ready?" he asked.

"Yeah" Rose said as the other two started laughing again.

"What's up with those two?" he asked as they walked over to the film.

"You really don't want to know, their just being silly" Rose said before laughing herself at the thought of that eve after nearly two years, they still hadn't changed when it came to men.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"I swear that you two haven't changed one bit since I last saw you" Rose said they were now back at the house, after seeing the version of Romeo and Juliet that had Leonardo Decaprio and Clare Danes in it.

Keisha and Shareen had been giggling about Leonardo Dicaprio ever since he came onto the screen.

She could remember her fourteen year old self, sitting at the back of the English class room watching this version of Romeo and Juliet, along with a lot of giggling teenage girls, but of course that all changed when he died at the end, it was a load of weeping teenage girls.

Bloody Hormones she thought to herself at the memory, she wouldn't cry at something like that now. Maybe she would of done five years ago, but then she was a hormonal teenage girl, now she was a woman. A mature woman that travelled the universe in a blue box. She looked over at Shareen and Keisha and saw that they too had grown up to be mature young women, just like she had. They may not have changed when it came to discussing boys, but they had all turned into mature young women. One of whom was getting married in a couple of day's time, the other was in another serious relationship and then there was her who was travelling around with a nine hundred year old alien. Her friends were settling down, having a family, she wasn't going to do that.

She'd almost lost the Doctor the other week; it had torn her apart to think that she was never going to see him again.

She noticed for the first time that her hand was in his, she hadn't noticed it until then. But in that moment she knew that she loved him more than anything else in the world.

She didn't need to settle down and have a family, unless the Doctor wanted that and the chances of that were pretty low.

But nothing was impossible, not even for the Doctor.

Her Romeo.
