Hi! Told you the next chapter would be up quickly, even though I have actually been quite busy. You should be proud! Anyway, enjoy it! Doctor Who and all the characters in it do not belong to me :(

Rose opened her eyes slowly, expecting o see the Doctor stood in front of her, ready to spend their lives together. A gasp fell from her mouth when her gaze didn't fall upon warm brown eyes and messy hair but on a smooth white ceiling instead. "Where the hell am I?" she thought, sitting bolt upright. And then she remembered. It was a dream. She flicked her blonde hair out of her face and scowled at nothing in particular, a hot tear of anger falling quickly down her cheek.

She sat there for a while, fists clenched, scowling and crying, unable to believe that it wasn't real. After a while she lost patience with herself and stood up, deciding to get dressed, especially seeing as she had all these lovely clothes to wear. She wandered over to the chest of drawers and, on top of them; she spotted a pair of small white earrings. Where did she recognize them from? Ah. The pills in her dream. Anger, frustration and loss bubbled up inside her and she kicked her chest of drawers. Her foot made contact with a bang. Just as she'd started to take a deep breathe to calm herself , the door crashed open behind her. She span round to see the Doctor stood there, jacket askew, hair even messier than usual and pink rings around his eyes, as if he'd been crying. Surely not…?

"Everything alright in here?" he asked. She stared at him. H looked awful enough already and she didn't need to make that any worse.

"Yeah…" she replied warily.

He raised his eyebrows, disbelieving. "You sure?"

Rose took a deep breath and plastered a fake smile on her face. Nodding she assured him "I'm fine!"

He still didn't look convinced but accepted her word for it and backed out of the room, gently closing the door behind him. Rose sank down onto the bed, head in hands. This was not good.

The Doctor left Rose's room and went to lie down on the white leather sofa. He stared up at the ceiling and felt numb. What was up with Rose? She had looked pretty awful when he went in. Perhaps her dream was as bad as his was? No, that wasn't possible. And that smile she gave him before he walked out was definitely fake. Rose wasn't good at lying.

He lay there for a while until he heard Rose's door click open. He sat up and I smile drifted onto his face when he saw her. He'd begun to feel different about Rose lately and he'd begun to realize that she was beautiful, amazing, kind and so much more. His eyes ghosted over her body, and he saw that she was dressed in some of the clothes from her wardrobe. She had on a silky green dress. It was sleek, fitting her figure perfectly and came down to her ankles. She'd matched it with black stilettos, small white earrings and a silver necklace, that glinted in the light. He swallowed thickly as he realized the earrings looked exactly like the pills in his dream. He tried to ignore this fact, but he was sure that was easier said than done.

Rose cleared her throat. She'd seen his eyes skim over her body and she felt slightly awkward but was also slightly pleased. She'd liked him in that way, as in more than a friend, ever since she met him and things seemed to be getting more interesting lately. It seemed like there was more chemistry lately. "So…I'm guessing you're wondering why I'm dressed like this?" she asked. He nodded silently. He seemed to be staring at her ears a lot. Perhaps he liked her earrings. Rose remained puzzled but carried on speaking. "Well, I thought it would be nice if we went out, and checked out the nice restaurants around here, tried some local food." She stared at the floor, hands behind her back, when she was speaking, but when she finished she glanced up through her eyelashes to see his expression. She cringed internally when she saw he was frowning.

"So. You want us to go out...to have a meal…and a date?" Rose felt her face turning red and got ready to deny the fact that it was a date when he said abruptly "Sounds great!" She grinned and told him to be ready in ten minutes, after which she went into her room and punched the air in success.

Twenty minutes later the Doctor and Rose were sat at table fifteen in a restaurant called Harikalar Restaurant. They'd decided to order loads of specials and try them all. Rose picked at her dark blue nail varnish while the Doctor rubbed at his glasses, cleaning them, which he had been doing for the past 5 minutes. This wasn't going as well as Rose had first hoped. They always had something to say, were always chatting and laughing, but now…nothing. Rose was feeling awkward after what had happened in her dream and the doctor seemed to be feeling the same way too, she couldn't imagine why though.

After many more minutes and a huge, long, awkward silence, the waiter came over with about twenty dishes. He placed them on the table and wished them a good meal. Now they had something to do it wasn't nearly as awkward and they both ended up having a very good time.

Twenty minutes later Rose's fears and nervousness had all disappeared and she was laughing at the Doctor as he wiped his tongue on a napkin after trying something that he claimed was the most disgusting thing he'd ever eaten. Rose vowed to stay away from those, even though they were bright pink and looked like little hearts made out of something that was sort of like jelly but sort of like gas at the same time. Cute, she thought. Petty, the Doctor thought. And disgusting too! Rose picked up something out of a bowl, still giggling, and inspected it. It was slightly like a marshmallow but runnier somehow. It grey with bright red spots. She eyed it suspiciously. "Ah," the Doctor said noticing. "I've had one of those before. Try it. You'll like it." He added with a smile. She popped it in her mouth and a slow smile spread over her face as a sweet taste filled her mouth, sort of fruity but sweeter and it left her tongue zinging from the taste.

An hour later they clattered back into the hotel, arms linked and laughing. It seemed that something they had eaten had a lot of sugar in it, or at least something like it. Rose saw some Athenorians sat at the bar. They looked quite friendly and Rose thought she might as well make some friends while she was here. "Hey," she said turning to the Doctor "I'm going to go meet the locals, okay?" He nodded and said "Okay I'll meet you upstairs in a bit then." He gave her a hug and headed off.

Rose walked over to the bar slowly and then confidently walked over to the two Athenorious girls sat chatting. "Hi, I'm Rose" She smiled at them. They turned to face her. They were both very beautiful and grinned at her with pearly white teeth. One had pink hair and the other green. That's how Rose learnt to tell them apart. "Hi I'm Bubbla," The pink haired girl introduced herself and then pointed to her friend and said; "and this is Suagie. I take it your new here? Don't worry! Sit down, you'll fit right in."

Rose got on very well with Bubbla and Suagie; they both seemed very nice. Not long after, she was sat down with a drink chatting to them happily. "So," Suagie said. "Who was your friend back there? Are you...y'know…together?" Rose shook her head. "The Doctor? Well…no…but…"

"Oooh! She likes him" They exclaimed nudging each other. Rose rolled her eyes and turned towards the bar to order another a drink consequently missing the cheeky grin and wink Bubbla and Suagie shot each other behind her back.

Oooh! Intriguing! So what will happen next? What are Bubbla and Suagie up to? Watch this space to find out! Thanks for reading! R&R please! Jen xxxx
