Rose's laughter filled the TARDIS; the Doctor was beside her, laughing right along with her.
It had been a great day, running for their lives; as usual. Getting away, just in nick of time, which was not new to them.
Throwing his long, brown coat over the coral-like branch, the Doctor stood before the controls of his ship; thinking of their next destination.
Having just visited the past, 1757 to be exact, the Doctor thought a nice trip into the future might just be what they needed.
"I was thinking we should probably go to Finor, it's in the 47th century; and has the best Blue Sinflow in the entire universe." The Doctor said, setting the controls.
"What's Blue Sinflow?" Rose asked, sitting on the torn, yellow jump seat.
"What's Blue---? Miss Tyler, you have never lived until you try Blue Sinflow." The Doctor said as he twisted a knob and turned a dial simultaneously with the same hand.
"Well," Rose looked at him, "What is it?"
"It's…well, it's sort of like…" The Doctor's eyebrow rose, "I don't know what it's like, but it's good."
"Okay, I guess I have to try it, Fonir it is then!"
"No, Rose, the planet is called Finor; not Fonir. That is something different." The Doctor told her.
Rose frowned slightly, "What's Fonir?"
The Doctor shook his head, "Tsk, Rose sometimes I don't know what to do with you sometimes."
Rose shrugged, "Me neither." She smiled.
Her smiles being so contagious, that the Doctor couldn't help but smile back.
"It's a good thing you have me, eh?" The Doctor said.
Rose nodded, "And vice versa, right?"
The Doctor smirked, "Oh, without a doubt, Rose Tyler."
Tearing his eyes away from her brown ones, the Doctor flipped a switch and the TARDIS was off to Finor.
The landing was the same; harsh, but fun.
Getting up off the ground, the Doctor took Rose's hand, meeting her eyes once again. They stood there for a moment, both of them wanting more time, but realizing that they had another adventure on their hands.
The Doctor turned away from his companion and grabbed his coat, placing it over his thin figure. Fixing the collar, he looked back at Rose, who was still standing in the place he had left her.
"You comin'?" He asked with a smile.
She nodded slowly, "Yeah."
Rose stepped out of the TARDIS first and stopped in her tracks. She almost wanted to cry, Finor was the most beautiful planet the Doctor had taken her to. It reminded her of Austria, snowcapped mountains surrounded them. Before her was a lush green plane and just at the base of one of the mountains, far off in the distance was a small village. It almost made her want to run out on the field and sing the 'Hills Are Alive'.
"Welcome to Finor!" The Doctor said, as he shut the TARDIS' door and stood next to her. "You like it?"
Rose nodded, "Yes." She whispered, "Very much."
"Come on." He took her hand and led her towards the tiny village.

Rose looked at the blue glob on her plate, "This---this is Blue Sinflow?"
She looked over at the Doctor who continued to spoon the blue mush into his mouth.
He met her glance, "You don't like it?" He asked her before his mouth was completely empty, and some of the Sinflow dribbled out of the corner of his mouth.
"Eww." Rose remarked, feeling her stomach turn.
The Doctor shrugged sheepishly and wiped away the blue from his chin.
"Try it." He told her, "It's really good."
Rose wasn't entirely convinced; still they had traveled thousands of miles and across space to come here, so she figured she might as well try it.
Taking her spoon in her hand, she filled the bowl with the blue sauce; she sipped it slowly, letting it rest in her mouth before she swallowed.
The Doctor had been watching her with fascination, the way her face twisted; trying to figure out what in the world was this dish before her. The way her eyes lit up the moment she tasted the Sinflow, the way her lips formed a smile when she discovered her liking for the food.
The one thing the Doctor could think of was to lean over and kiss her, fully and passionately on the lips. However, instead he held off, not wanting to seem forward and not wanting to scare her.
He wished beyond everything that he could have the courage to do something with his feelings. He wish he could have what he wanted, and what he wanted was Rose Tyler.
However, he would not act upon his feelings. He would stay back and let himself be carried along, never interfering. Which he knew was not like himself, but with this particular case, with this particular person; he would hold off.
And, as the day wore on, and they finally went back home to the TARDIS, the Doctor knew that time would only tell if he and Rose would ever get anywhere. If they had what it takes to make it, then they would.
All they had to do was wait.
