Chapter 3:

"Okay remind me never to go on a plane run by humans ever again" the Doctor complained.

"Well you were the one that was playing with the emergency button, even though I told you quite a lot not too. Honestly sometimes you can be just like a little child"

"I was just being curious as to whether it would actually work that's all" the Doctor replied.

"Okay" Rose said grabbing her rucksack from the luggage rack. "And anyway we've got to get back"

"Ah" the Doctor said "I hadn't thought of that"

"Oh come on Mr I'm in Paris but hadn't thought past tomorrow. I said we'd meet the others at the hotel. After someone had apologised to the air hostess"

"Stupid apes" the Doctor whispered in annoyance.

"Oi there's one ape standing right next to you" Rose said.

"I meant anybody but you" the Doctor said.

"I'll hold you to that one" Rose said "Anyway we've got four days with no TARDIS. I'll be surprised if you're not calling everyone a stupid ape by the end of it"

"Miss Tyler I am hurt" the Doctor said in a mocking tone. "I can last three days without my TARDIS"

"Well I hope so" Rose said

"What exactly are we doing for the next four days any way" the Doctor asked as they made their way to get a taxi, changing the subject.

"Well from what I've heard tomorrow we're going to Disney land or Disney studios, and then it's my birthday and I know those two have something up their selves and then it's the hen night and then we're back home in time for the wedding" Rose said "Do you know anything about this surprise of mine on my birthday"

"I haven't got a clue" the Doctor lied he knew just what they had planned but he wasn't going to spoil the surprise for her.

"So aren't you going to tell me what it is? I know when you're lying" Rose asked as they got in the taxi.

"Well I will tell you this" the Doctor said leaning closer to her.

"What?" Rose asked feeling excited. "What will you tell me?"

"That this is gonna be fantastic" the Doctor said smiling cheekily at her.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Look I can tell you that we definitely booked four rooms" Shareen said getting more agitated by the minuet.

"I am sorry madam but only three rooms are available until tomorrow" the woman at the counter said "We have two single rooms and a double under your name"

"Look it says here quite clearly on my receipt that we booked four single rooms" Shareen replied.

Rose and the Doctor had gotten to the hotel to find, that Shareen was arguing with women at the counter and Keisha just sitting there looking fed up with it all.

"I wish she'd just accept that these things do happen" Keisha moaned when Rose sat next to her.

"Well you know what she's like" Rose said "I suppose it is slightly annoying"

"Yeah but it's easily solved, she just has to book another room and that's it"

"Either that or someone shares" the Doctor suggested.
"Yeah and who would do that. Shareen likes her own room, I snore too loudly and well that leaves you two left but I don't think that's very likely" Keisha said and Rose looked up at the Doctor. She wouldn't mind sharing a room with him, it was only a one off and the Doctor wouldn't exactly sleep anyway would. And it was only one night.

"Doctor?" Rose questioned.
"Up to you" the Doctor said smiling at her.

"Shareen!" Rose shouted making up her mind.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Oh this is comfy" Rose said leaning back against the pillows on the four poster double bed.

"Looks it" the Doctor said from the window. The rooms was big and spacious. It had painting of the Eiffel tower and the Sacre coure. It had a large two piece suite sofa at the edge of the room.

"What can you see from there then?" Rose asked.

"Eiffel Tower" the Doctor replied "Not too far from here"
"I'd like to eat on top of that. That'd be nice although it's meant to be really expensive. I've heard they have like three year waiting lists for that sort of thing"

"Hmm" the Doctor said smiling to himself. "I'll have to take you there one day"

"Yeah that'd be good" Rose said smiling. "So how many times have you stayed in Paris then?"

"Oh a fair few times" the Doctor said "Never for a hen night though, am I going to be the only man there"

"Actually from what I've heard Keisha's boyfriend is coming too" Rose said "Sono you won't be alone"

"Okay" the Doctor said smiling at her. "What time we meeting them for dinner?"

"About six I think, so we've got a couple of hours to kill"

"Okay" the Doctor said coming and sitting next to her on the bed. "Fancy playing a game?"

"Where from?"

"The book shelf" he replied getting up again and crossed to grab a game. "Scrabble?"

"Okay" Rose said.

"You know it's quite different this" the Doctor said as they sat there setting up the game.

"What France?" Rose asked.

"No I mean this, me and you, going on holiday without the TARDIS" the Doctor said.

"Well that was you're choice" Rose said "We could of just as easily said we'd meet them here"

"It would have been too tricky, what if they'd of found the TARDIS" the Doctor said "It could make things really tricky"

"Yeah I suppose" Rose replied. "That's never stopped you before, why now?"

"Because I just want to make things easier. It would be really tricky for you if you had to explain that I was a nine hundred year old half human time lord who has two hearts" the Doctor said.

"Yeah I suppose" Rose said then something hit her. "Wait a minuet half human?"

"Yeah I'm half human on my mothers side" the Doctor explained.

"I didn't know" Rose said "You never said"

"It's never come up" the Doctor said

"Oh right" Rose said looking down at what the Doctor had put down on the board.

"Doctor, you can't put down names and especially those that long" Rose said looking down at the board he'd put Raxacoricofallapatorius right through the middle of the board.

"Why not, that's the whole point of scrabble isn't it making words" the Doctor said. "Although I did once visit a planet where scrabble was exactly the same only everytime you spelt something wrong you'd get….." the Doctor said and Rose sighed he was off on one of his rambles again this could be a very long few hours, especially with the Doctor like this.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Once they'd finished their long game of scrabble which most of it was spent discussing the correct way of playing it.

After that had finished Rose decided to take a shower and then got changed. Coming out after the shower she found the Doctor staring out the window, he looked in deep thought.

"You okay?" Rose said.

"Yeah" the Doctor said smiling at her "You ready then?"

"Yep" Rose replied.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Look at that isn't it pretty" Keisha said looking at a locket in the shape of a heart, and had white crystals going round the edge in a shop window. They were walking down a street near the centre of Paris looking for a place to eat.

"Oh I remember my Grandma having a necklace just like that, god I loved that thing. I don't know what happened to it since she died." Rose said admiring the locket in the window. "It's expensive though look 230 euros, won't be getting that any time soon" Rose said laughing with her friends as they walked into the restaurant next door.

The Doctor stood there looking at the locket in the window, for a few minuets thinking.

"Doctor you coming" Shareen said poking her head out of the restaurant.

"Yeah I'll be there in a minuet" the Doctor said and Shareen just smiled at him as she came over to him so Rose wouldn't hear them.

"She'll love it" Shareen said "She means a lot to you doesn't she"

"Yeah" the Doctor said "Can you distract her for a minuet"

"Yeah sure" Shareen said "Oh and Doctor?"

"Yeah"

"She's a very lucky women you know" Shareen said winking at him before she went back into the restaurant.

He looked back down at the necklace, she was right she would love it. That really would surprise her, especially when she opened it on her birthday. He loved seeing Rose when she was happy and that certainly would make her happy. She meant more to him than anything else in the world, in the universe even. She'd done so much for him, like helping him to come to grips with the time war and learning to love again. She called him her hero once; well she'd been his hero hadn't she. That's why he was going to make sure that her 21st birthday was going to be fantastic. That's what she deserved.

With that in mind he walked into the shop, to get her present.
