The reception, the party, the part of the wedding where everyone seems to dance, eat, and drink champagne all evening until there tripping over their feet with giddiness. The part of the wedding where the best man gets up and makes a speech, and the bride cries over the touching word that her father has just said about his little girl.

How terribly clichéd is a wedding? But just because it is clichéd doesn't mean that it has to be bad. Because what's wrong with having something that's clichéd, because that's what a fairytale isn't it. Normally the princess is in some sort of danger, like sleeping beauty at the top of the tower and the prince that comes heroically to save her. And they get married and live happily ever after. Of course that's just a fairytale, it's not reality. In reality people don't just live happily ever after, because life's tough you can't experience it with out some sort of bad thing happening. But for now Rose thought she should just get one with her life, with her fiancée at the wedding that they were attending.

Right now it was time for the speeches and that was what Shareens Dad was doing right this very moment. Like I said earlier, it was all terribly clichéd. But of course not all weddings are like that.

But this one was, they'd been drinking champagne since they got into the room, which was now full of guests, clapping as Shareen's Dad got down.

Rose looked to her left and found the Doctor smiling to himself as he watched scene in front of him, before turning his head and looking Rose straight in the eye and smile forming on his lips as he did so. Rose felt something warm and large take her hand under the table and she knew it was him, she'd recognise the feel of his hands anywhere.

They were in a hotel somewhere on the outskirts of London, it had taken them about half an hour to get. Not that they'd noticed the time pass though, they were much too interested in cuddling to notice.

They'd been summoned for photographs the moment, they'd gotten there and had to stand through an hour more of them.

Then finally it was time to eat, and so they had done. And drank champagne and talked other people around the same table. Although neither of them were really with it, they were both too busy in their own thoughts, after all they were supposed to be getting married. Rose wondered if she looked like she couldn't stop smiling, she knew that she couldn't and she had good reason to as well after all it wasn't every day you got engaged was.

Slow music began to dance and couples began to dance slowly to the music, the Doctor had somehow managed to get himself chatting with one of Adam's friends and had wondered off a while ago.

So Rose just sat there until she saw him come back in smiling to himself, which grew bigger when he caught her eye.

"Care to dance?" the Doctor asked when he had come over to her.

"With you" Rose replied taking his offered hand "Always"

He lead her onto the dance floor, not letting go of her hand even when he twirled her round, and smiled whenever they made eye contact.

"You know this reminds me of a ball that I had, in my last year of school. And everyone had to dress up in these long dresses and all the boys wore black suits" Rose said

"Sounds like the modern day term for a Prom" the Doctor replied.

"It was one, just the person who organised changed the name to Ball" Rose said "Sounds more classy than Prom I suppose" she said still thinking about it "You know I'd like to go a proper ball, you know the kind that Louis XV had, and wear one of those big dresses, with a tight corset" Rose said "Okay maybe not the tight corest"

"No complaints from me" the Doctor said

"Oh well you would say that wouldn't you, just because a corset would push my chest out making me flash the entire universe"
"No I meant the ball" the Doctor said "Although fiddling with your corset wouldn't be so bad"

"No complaints from me, you fiddle all you like" she said smiling at him "You know we have a room booked here tonight"
"Oh really and here I was thinking that I would have to drag you to your mothers, completely giddy that you'd wake the entire of London up with your giggling"

"Nope that's tomorrow" Rose said and she noticed the Doctor let out a small groan at the thought. "Speaking of which I don't think we should say anything about this just yet" she said waggling her finger in front of him "I think it'd be better that we told her we were together, just not engaged together. It might be a little bit too much for her to handle"

"Fine with me, means I avoid the Tyler slap for a few more weeks" the Doctor said looking at her softly "I love you Rose"
"I love you too" she replied and the Doctor bend down to kiss her, just enjoying the moment together.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Have fun in Rome" Rose said hugging Shareen just before she got in the car to go off on her honeymoon.

"I will, thanks for coming"
"That's alright." Rose replied.

"And good luck with everything" Shareen said nodding at the Doctor who was standing to one side.

"Thanks" Rose said smiling at her "You too"

They waved the new happy couple off and stood outside until they were out of sight. Rose turned to find the Doctor standing where he was two minuets before and a smile on his face, as everyone else started to disappear back off into the celebrations.

"Coming?" he asked holding out his hand.

"Yeah" Rose replied taking his hand "Right shall we call it a night? Or carry on dancing the night away?"

"I think the first one" the Doctor replied.

"Me too" Rose said "You know it'll be us next"

"Yeah" the Doctor said "That's quite-"

"I know" Rose said getting exactly what he meant as they walked in the direction of their room. They saw a sign saying Chapel and what looked like a very happy looking couple coming out of it.

Rose looked up at the Doctor and met his eyes a silent agreement coming between them. And before the Doctor even said what he was going to next she'd guess, because if he didn't then she probably would.

"Right then Miss Tyler, I think our opportunity has arisen" the Doctor said pointing to the door where they'd just seen couple come out of. "Forget the planning, forget the fuss, and forget the normality of it all. Let's make it just me and you, together, alone. What do you think?"

"I think- lets go" Rose replied dragging the Doctor over to the chapel.

And it didn't matter that they didn't have the planning of it all, or the fuss, and the normality of it. All that mattered was that they were here together. It was that night that Rose realised that she didn't need to show how much she loved the Doctor to anyone else, because they already knew in their own little ways.

And they didn't have the clichéd wedding that most people have, they didn't have the bridesmaids and the tearful speeches. All they had was a simple ceremony with just them, and that was all either of them wanted.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodooooooooooooooooooooo

Rose and the Doctor walked up the stairs happily stopping for a kiss as they did so, to anyone they'd look like just a normal newly wedded couple. But they were so much more than a normal couple, because they were so much more than that. They were the Doctor and Rose; they were best friends, companions and now Husband and Wife.

But they had decided to keep that little detail a secret, and so they had hidden the rings that they'd been wearing safely somewhere back in the TARDIS.

When they'd managed to tear themselves away from each other, Rose was able to put her key into the door and open it.

Of course they hadn't been expecting to find her mother with all her friends round having some sort of party.

So the moment they entered they were bombarded with Jackie's friends and spent most of the evening looking at each other longingly from across the room, whilst telling Jackie's friends about their travels.

Once the hoard of women as the Doctor had described them had finally gone home, Rose was curled up on the sofa silently, waiting for Jackie to bring in their cup of teas. The Doctor was looking out of the window, up at the stars like he so often did when they came here.

"So how did the wedding go?" Jackie asked

"Oh it was good" Rose replied sitting up to accept the sup of tea she'd been given.
"And does his nibs over agree, after all he doesn't do domestic" Jackie said
"Oh it wasn't so bad" the Doctor said still looking out at the stars.

"Really well I'm surprised about that" Jackie said.
"Well it's something different isn't it" Rose said "Not everyday to get to go to a wedding"

"Not everyday you get to try out something new" the Doctor said looking over at Rose and smiling.

"No suppose not" Jackie said missing the silent understanding that the Doctor and Rose shared.

"Well I'm gonna go to bed" Jackie said yawning.
"Night" the Doctor and Rose said in unison.

Once they were sure that Jackie wasn't going to come out again, the Doctor and Rose also decided to retire. But instead of one going into the bedroom and the other staying on the sofa, they both fell asleep next to each other on the sofa, whilst the muted television played silently to itself, in the dark of the night.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Rose looked around her room for one last time before picking up her things, and making her way to the door. Her mother stood just outside waiting for her.

"I haven't seen you really have I?" Jackie said

"Well don't worry, we'll be back soon" Rose said knowing what was coming.

"But how longs that going to be? A day? A week? A month? A year?" Jackie said "How do I know that I'm ever going to see you again?"

"Because you will" Rose said "Mum I'm not leaving him, I can't not now, not after everything I've seen" Rose said

"Okay" Jackie said accepting her decision "Just make sure you call yeah"
"Yeah course I will" Rose said bringing her mother into a hug.

"You really love him don't you" Jackie said

"Yes" Rose said honestly "And I love you"

"Love you too love" Jackie said hugging her daughter once more.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Doctor looked over at the TARDIS door as it opened, and in stepped Rose she had that red rucksack that she used on her back. Ready for more adventures through time and space, but it wasn't just adventuring through Time and Space it was the start of something completely different.

It was called Love, but this love had been there all the time they'd known each other, they just hadn't acted on it yet. But they did in the end, through the power of love.

"Well then Rose, I promised you a ball and a ball you shall get" the Doctor said breaking the silence and setting the co-ordinates "How does France 1768 sound hmp? Realm of Louis XV and you know what he's having a ball" the Doctor said.

"Sounds great to me" Rose said smiling at him "But, won't he remember us or you anyway"

"Nah, he'll have moved on by now. It was four years ago now since Reinette died, anyway it's a masked ball" the Doctor replied handing Rose a mask.

"Okay" Rose said smiling at him as she placed her bag down on the floor "I'll go get changed"

"Okay" he said but caught her by the arm and pulling her into a kiss "I'm so glad I met you"

"Well good, because you're stuck with me" Rose replied placing another kiss on his lips "I'll go get changed"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They opened the door and stepped inside the room that was dimly lit by the blazing fire, which was alight making the room have an orange illumination to it.

"Are you sure you're alright Mademoiselle?" the maid that had shown them to their room said. "You do not require a Doctor or anything?"

"No, no, really I'm fine now thank you" Rose reassured the maid. "False alarm"

"Very well, just call if you want anything" the maid said before exiting the room.

The Doctor made sure that the door was firmly shut before turning round to face Rose who burst out laughing the moment she saw him.

"How on earth did you do that?" the Doctor asked

"Well you said make a distraction, so that's what I did" Rose replied.

"Rose when I said make a distraction, I was thinking of more along the lines "Oh my corset is too tight, I can't breathe". Instead you grabbed my waistcoat shoved it up your frock and pretended to go into labor" the Doctor said.

"Got us a room though didn't it" Rose said moving closer to him "And a few dances in the grand palace of Versailles"

"Yeah I suppose it did" the Doctor said now very aware that Rose's hands were on his shirt buttons at this moment in time. "You know their going to wonder why there's no baby tomorrow morning"

"What do you mean no baby, I told them it was a false alarm" Rose asked

"I think they may notice that the bump is gone" the Doctor said.
"Not if I make sure I put it back in exactly the right place tomorrow morning" Rose said.

"And do you care to tell me why exactly that favorite waistcoat of mine may have vanished from its particular place?"

"Why do you think?" Rose whispered in his ear. "Because I certainly have a good idea what you on about, do about you?"

"Yep I think I have an idea" the Doctor said smiling at her.

"Good, because I don't know about you, but I think this favorite waist coat of yours needs to be removed"

"Oh really" the Doctor said bringing his face closer to hers "I think I can do that" he said his voice a low murmur before the Doctor decided to kiss her.

And so the two time travelers enjoyed their time together in France together at last. They both realized that this was their life, it, and it wasn't always happy, it wasn't always sad.

But they enjoyed it as best they could, together, and were there for each other when everything turned cold, and threatened to ruin their Utopia, but it was their Fairytale life.

FIN.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

AN: That's it; it's the end of this part of the story.

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed which are certainly still welcome, and thank you to everyone who has read this and followed this.

And I have made a decision about whether or not there shall be a sequel to this or not.

I couldn't just leave it there could I? nope, so there will definitely be a sequel to this.

I think it will be called Utopia at this moment in time, and I may change my mind about that one.

And there will also be a sequel to the Pearl of Souls, but I have no idea what on earth I am going to call that one.

And I can't decide which one to start first so if there is one particular one which you would like to see first, then tell me on a review or something. But neither of them will be started until the end of June/early July because of my GCSEs.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Please review.

Beres.
