Title:
Knowledge & Wonderment
Character/Pairing: Ten, Rose; Ten/Rose
Prompt: January 2008: 6: A box of paper stars and the text "wish upon them"
Summary: He's a man who knows everything, yet she still makes him wonder.
Author's Note: I love the Doctor in Lecture Mode. And I made a mistake: This is the eighth prompt, and the sixth is a completely different one. So now the sixth (the actual new drabble, because I fail) is the sixth chapter.
The Doctor caught her wishing upon a star once – quite the stroke of misfortune.

"They're not stars, and even if they were, they can't grant wishes. Maybe one or two can, stars that is, but they aren't stars, not really. Not even sentient suns – they're called Persi, floating billions of light-years away. They're not made of gas, either, just dust particles drawn together by this independent psychic energy into a great big ball that reflects the light of other stars, but they haven't got the greatest hearing so don't get your hopes up." He paused. "What'd you wish for anyway?"
