Chapter 4:

Rose was beyond stunned, in fact she was flabbergasted.

The city was like a cross between New York and the English countryside. Both peaceful and modern in one go. She was actually slightly confused and put off at start as she couldn't quite get her head around the city but it had grown on her, a lot. It had grown on her so much she actually started asking the Doctor about placing some sort of investment in this city just in case she decided to return. This really amused the Doctor and he mentally congratulated himself on yet another excellent choice of venue.

"Well if you want to know the reason why the country is as such it's because of the way it's ruled. It has a sort of monarchy but also has an extremely powerful Prime Minister and President."

"Hang on? It has a King, PM and a President?? Why would it need a president and a PM?"

"Oh you humans, always thinking theirs a limit! I think it's safe to say that you Rose Tyler should have understood by now that the sky really isn't the limit. The universe is endless so are its possibilities! So the question you should be asking is why aren't there more leaders?! And anyway this particular city is ruled by a prince not a king!"

And so the conversation continued with Rose trying her best to get to grips with the political status of the country and its culture.

"Can we go and see the prince and this amazing palace? I mean its sounds huge!"

"What a question! Are you trying to insult me?" He replied with a mock angered tone. "Of course we can as long as I still got this!" He said as he waved around his psychic paper in front of her. She squealed with delight as she bounced up and down on the spot and gripped his hand tightly. With that the Doctor began running pulling her down the busy streets of Forick leading her to the palace.

It just feels all so similar…Rose thought to herself. Shops, stores, restaurants, cabs, everything! Though there were the odd few stores Rose didn't recognise as they were running past them.

What grasped Rose's attention and what she loved the most was how every few blocks or so there would be a break in-between the stores and beyond the empty space would be masses and masses of empty forestry. It was almost like a mirage, how odd it looked. It almost didn't fit but somehow the way the breaks where placed and where in the city they were placed complemented the type of trees and shrubbery that were beyond the gap in-between large buildings.

The Doctor was completely hyper and couldn't stop grinning over how well he'd predicted her reaction and he couldn't wait to see what she thought of the palace! They were nearly there, just a few more blocks and they could cover that in no time with the speed they were running at!

He glanced back at her and caught sight of her natural wondered expression, before she noticed him looking at her and she beamed back at him.

He bumped into another couple whilst running and not paying any attention to where he was running to. Rose giggled and he was slightly embarrassed. But soon it just made he all the more determined to impress her with the next sight.

Once they reached the end of the block they were on he sharply turned left and stopped dragging a confused Rose with him and slamming her right into his chest.

She was about to comment on him giving some sort of warning but when she looked up and beyond his shoulder the sight that was before her completely stole her breath away.

The palace was huge, just like in a fairytale story she had read when she was a kid.

A long gold fence had completely surrounded what she saw of the palace and guards sat on brilliant white horses positioned every 10 metres or so around the palace.

The palace itself was white too and had 5 floors to it. It was decorated with gold plated craved angels and the balconies too had gold fences. It gave off the impression of cleanliness and absolute importance.

The Doctor meanwhile still had his back to the building and was staring at Rose. He could come back and see the beautiful architecture whenever he wanted, but he could never again see Rose's reaction to this palace on her beautiful face.

She turned to him and still had her lips slightly parted in the 'o' shape. Before she could ask if they could go in he turned and pulled her with him towards the main gates in front of the palace. He was approached by three guards and when he showed his psychic paper they stood back and opened a small door within the large structure of the front gate.

"Welcome Sir John Smith and Lady Rose Tyler to Prince Nicholas III Palace of Forick.", they said as they stepped apart and opened part of the gate allowing them to enter.

"Lady Tyler ay? I think I'm definitely coming back here!" Rose whispered with a cheeky grin. The Doctor's expression mirrored Rose's as they stepped through.

Within the palace fence their was a long but downward sloped driveway that seemed to extend forever and from outside of the palace fence it's length could have easily been underestimated.

Rose's pace began to slow down as she turned around whilst walking to get to grips with the sheer size of the land, its gardens and the beautifully laid out ornaments. However the Doctor soon turned around and gripped her arm firmly causing Rose to frown.

"They think we are Royalty too Rose, we have to act like we expected nothing less from them." She looked up to him and nodded. Walking side by side with their arms linked they noticed that a group of people were walking towards them and by the looks of their matching clothing they were obviously servants.

Upon reaching them the servants bowed before Rose and the Doctor and guided them into the palace.

As much as Rose was trying to act like the environment and palace didn't impress her she couldn't contain her excitement too well as she could almost feel the excitement radiating off of herself. Being so close to the palace merely confirmed just how large the palace really was. Just before the main doors there were two sets of white marble stairs for them to walk up. Once at the top the beautifully carved wooden doors were opened and Rose and the Doctor entered.

The reception was absolutely amazing. The floor was varnished wooden tiles and the walls had the most vivid fine art Rose had seen in her life.

The Doctor gently tugged on Rose's arm and tilted his head up trying to show Rose something. As Rose slowly lifted her head she saw the entire ceiling had been painted on. It was a painting of the sky with angels sitting and playing musical instruments. Their faces each painted with such incredible detail Rose could easily pick a word for each of their expressions.

Peaceful, calm, tranquil, excited, relaxed… and the list went on.

How she longed to be part of the painting, everything seemed so real and so beautiful. It was as if evil never existed and the only theme through out the painting was compassion. Compassion to your surroundings and to the people around you.

The Doctor could tell by Rose's thoughtful expression that she wouldn't want to be disturbed by anyone for any reason whilst she was looking into every detail of the painting.

"The Prince will be with you shortly Your Highness." The servant said as he bowed and his fellow companions followed suit and exited the room, leaving a speechless Rose and a very impressed Doctor.

"This is…all of it…just…just incredible…" Rose said with a slight sigh of content escaping her mouth at the end.

"I told you I could find somewhere peaceful and beautiful!"

Rose turned to look at the Doctor and walked over to him. Ever step she took created a loud echo in the reception and it seemed to make the Doctor nervous. Whilst closing the gap between her and the Doctor Rose never lost her eye contact with him and she could tell it made the Doctor uneasy, but if he was so uncomfortable he could just walk away.

Finally they were standing right in front of one another when Rose leaned over and planted a small kiss to the corner of his cheek. Allowing her lips to linger just above his cheek for a moment she moved back and whispered, "Thank you Doctor, it's beautiful."

When Rose turned around the go back to looking at all of the vivid art surrounding her, the Doctor unknowingly lifted his hand and placed it right where Rose had kissed him. He was staring right at her but all he was thinking about is what he would give to be able to slow time down for that very instant.

Suddenly the doors on the far end of the room opened and a very handsome young man stepped through. He was wearing a white garment which has gold stitchings woven in incredible detail. He had brown straight hair which had a side parting that covered a little of his face like a small fringe. His eyes were an incredibly marine blue colour which were so intense that one wondered how someone could hold a conversation with this man without fainting.

He is absolutely gorgeous! Rose thought, she didn't mind that the Doctor was in the room. Anyone, straight or gay, would have said so themselves.

He first introduced himself to the Doctor.

"Good morning, I am Nicholas III of Forick and welcome to my palace. I am sorry for this unprepared welcome but I was not expecting any guests from the North at least until the new year. However no matter! I hope your stay here will be enjoyable." With that he nodded his head as did the Doctor.

"I am afraid it is us who should be apologising for not warning you in advance." The Doctor replied, however Prince Nicholas had spotted Rose and was already walking over to greet her. The Doctor was slightly offended by his lack of interest in his reply but expected nothing more from such extravagant royal.

The Prince had taken Rose's had and planted a small kiss upon it and gazed up to look at her face from his crouched position. He grinned when he noticed Rose blush and said, "My fair lady, welcome to my palace. It is truly a gift to have someone as beautiful as you to be under the same roof as myself."

Rose was now incredibly red and she grinned and replied, "Thank you for allowing us to stay at your palace for our short stay. It is beautiful."

"Yes it is." The Prince replied except he wasn't paying any attention to his palace merely staring straight at Rose.
