Sorry about the lack of updates, school really sucks at this time of year really. Anywho, enjoy, and review, and you get cookies and maybe a shout out :-)
'Me either, but keep your voice down a little bit!' Rose replied, nudging him in the ribs, giggling. People had been staring and he had agreed that there would be NO trouble on this trip, even if it was human related. Although, looking round, some of the people looked quite...odd. But hey, they're tourists.
The doctor just replied by sticking his tongue out at Rose, with her sticking hers out to follow. Oh how she loved his tongue. Wouldn't she just love to explore it and – What WAS she saying? She really had to stop thinking like this; it would never EVER work, so she had to snap out of it.
The Doctor and Rose could of done that all day (of course, they weren't flirting, who would propose such a thing?) but a marching band belting out Christmas songs to their highest ability. Breaking from their 'close' moment together, The Doctor ruffled his hair (which Rose adored), and they both ended up walking down the long stairs back to the bottom, back down to Earth.
Rose then decided that this was the perfect time to go find her mother a present, since of course, she had to buy her one. Most of the adventures Rose went on, she never bought her mum a present, unless they were really interesting. Plus, her mum would be annoyed the next time she saw Rose if she went to New York and at least didn't bring her back a present. Ever since she could remember, Rose knew her mum loved New York even more than she did, and that was saying something.
As if The Doctor had read her mind, (she didn't know if he could do that or not, Rose had to get round to asking him someday) he pointed excitedly at a little tourism shop around the corner as soon as they had exited the empire state building. This was what Rose loved about him, nothing ever got old for him, hopefully it would be the same matter for when she became old.
The Doctor practically started to drag Rose along, getting a few odd looks from a few couples when she started to accidentally bump into them. She tried to tell The Doctor to slow down, but he was having none of it.
'Aha! Here we are!' The Doctor exclaimed with a grin plastered on his face. Rose laughed at the sight. She had never seen a man get so excited at a tourism shop before. Most men would of ran and scarpered by now, but not him. God, he just kept getting more and more perfect every day.
Rose looked ahead at the shop, and then down the street where at least 7 more were located. Why he chose this one, Rose didn't know, but it probably went along the lines of 'eeny meenie miney mo'.
The shop wasn't really that encouraging to look into, unless you were desperately needing a gift for someone. The bricks on the outside were crumbling, and the entire building looked like it was about to crumble in front of her very eyes. Being danger-prone, Rose didn't really think they should go into this shop, but by now, The Doctor already had.
Shaking her head, Rose realised there wouldn't be any getting out of this one, and that all she were here for was a present to give her mum.
Stepping inside the shop, it seemed to be as encouraging to buy something as the outside had been. Shaking her head, Rose started to look around the small room, trying to find her mum a gift as soon as possible. She really didn't like tourist shops, but there was no harm coming from it, yet.
Rose was studying a corny t-shirt saying 'my daughter went to new York and all she got was this lousy shirt' when she felt an arm creep round her waist. Obviously caught by surprise, she flung round to meet face to face with The Doctor, with a grin plastered on his face. Oh how she loved that smile, but at the same time, that smile meant trouble in his books, and Rose had to figure out what was wrong, before it got out of hand.
'What is it?' Rose said with a sigh, rolling her eyes. It couldn't be that bad, if he was smiling like that. It was starting to get a bit eery actually, so she really wished he would stop it.
'What do you mean?' The Doctor asked back, his smile turning into a smaller one of innocence, but Rose could see through it as if it was as clear as day.
'Don't say that! What's with the grin?' Rose was clearly getting a bit fed up, and The Doctor could see this as well, so he decided not to push his luck any further than he already had.
Shaking her head, laughing, Rose turned back around to continue her staring contest at the different items marked on the shelves. Taking a quick note at how much each thing cost, (since when had snow globes and badges cost THAT much?) it was then when she realised that from all the hype of coming here, Rose hadn't brought any money with her.
The Doctor scoffed slightly behind her, and that was when Rose knew exactly why he had had that mischievous look on his face. With this, Rose's face went red.
'Don't worry, i'll sort it,' he said kindly, but Rose still saw a slight smirk on his face. She couldn't complain though, as , once again , he was saving her from a sticky situation.
It was at this time that Rose found the perfect little snow globe for her mother. She pulled it off the shelf, and held it up to The Doctor for him to see, and give his opinion on it to her.
The outside shell of the snow globe was made out of a cheap plastic, which looked like it would snap if anyone barely touched it. There was a thin sheet of what looked like, soggy paper on the inside, trying to represent snow, and a cardboard cut out (a bit jagged on the sides) of the empire state building-the very tower they had been standing on that day.
The Doctor really didn't know how to put to Rose that he actually didn't like the present she wanted to get Jackie. So in the end, he just put it out into the open, and hoped for the best.
'Um, it's nice?' The Doctor said in a very non-convincing tone of voice. Rose raised her eyebrows at this, and The Doctor was forced to tell her the truth.
'Rose, in all of the shops in New York, you choose her this? I mean, the t-shirts are nicer in here than that snow globe! I'm not saying your taste is rubbish, your taste is brilliant in fact,' The Doctor quickly showed her the tie he was wearing today, the one she had picked out for him.
'I guess so,' Rose said, looking at the floor, a bit embarrassed, 'but i don't have any money to buy her anything bigger. Even if i had the money i had brought from home, i probably wouldn't even be able to buy us a meal!'
That was when Rose realised how unprepared she had been getting ready to come here. When The Doctor had told her that he was taking her to New York, Rose had leapt out of the doors to get her first glimpse of the city she had always wanted to see. She had said thanks, of course, to The Doctor, but she had been too pre-occupied to really care about what she was saying. Now she looked back on it, she sounded like she had shrugged him off, and just ran off, like a lot of the places they went to.
Rose felt guilt wash over her. Looking up at The Doctor in large brown eyes, she hugged him. The Doctor was a bit surprised at the sudden contact Rose had given him , but who was complaining?
'I'm treating you to a holiday remember Rose? That means i'm paying for everything. I've even planned a day when you can go shopping, as i know you love it....' The Doctor said, as he practically forced himself to let go of her, to look her in the eyes he adored so much.
'Really?' Rose asked, and The Doctor merely replied with a nod, making Rose leap onto him again , nearly pushing him over by the sheer force and shock of it all.
Putting the snow globe back down, they came out of the shop. Looking up into the sky, Rose noticed that it was getting dark. They would have to be getting back to the Tardis soon, to be fully rested.
'Righto, next thing, let's find a hotel shall we?' The Doctor said with a grin on his face, as if he had read Rose's mind.
