AN: Hey guys, thank you for all the follows/favorites so far: emason109, Jaenelle Masen, Robomonkey725, Emerald Alitrex, swimmingsierra24, Ashena-Iulik, Sclark0925, ShippingMyShips, thisdayandage, ViviGirl, EstellePoubelle10, TheBigBadWolfxTheOncomingStorm, NicNack4U, waphlelady, and charmedgal005. Whew! That's a lot and eternities of gratefulness. More reviews would be nice, too! Also, thank you Guest for talking to me about the etiquette of making tea. A lot of that, I did not know, because I am used to just watching my grandma and making iced tea myself, so that really helped a lot :) Although, Rose and her mother are portrayed as using mugs with their tea, and I think it's something Rose is carrying over to her own flat. Just something I thought! You might think differently. Also, I don't know how much updating is going to be happening for two weeks, because we're moving in a few weeks, and who knows how long it's going to take the cable guy to re-install internet and all that. A side note, this is a actual Ten/Rose chapter :)
Chapter 8- Friends
"Rose!" The woman in question was awoken from a deep sleep from this yell.
"Oi, Doctor! What time do you call this?" she mumbled.
"3 am," he called back, like he had heard her. "Now up and about, I got something to show you!" She heard his footsteps retreating down the hallway. She sighed and threw the covers off of herself and ran out of her room. She found him in the TARDIS kitchen.
The Doctor was grinning when he saw her messed up hair, and took her hand in his. "This is the best thing the TARDIS has made appear yet!" he promised.
"What is it?" she asked, curious in spite of herself. They stopped in front of a long counter, and he announced this grand surprise.
"A snowcone machine!" He gestured to a small machine in front of them.
"Er, what?" she asked, frowning.
"What are you confused about?" he asked her.
"Why is there a snowcone machine on the TARDIS?" she asked.
"I don't know!" the Doctor was beaming in earnest, and went to flick the on switch. "But I feel like it's a really good time for snowcones, what about you?" He grabbed some ice from the freezer. "Snowcones are good, right?" He poured the ice in the machine and closed the little door. "I mean who doesn't love a good snowcone, weeeeell, only crazy people-"
"Doctor, that's fine," she interrupted, gifting him with her famous tongue in teeth smile.
The machine started with a splutter. It shivered and shook, and Rose's eyes got wide in fear and she looked at the Doctor. Before she could open her mouth to say something, the machine started to fling ice everywhere.
Rose shrieked in surprise and the Doctor laughed. Ice bits were sliding in her hair, on the floor, and on the Doctor's coat.
"Doctor!" she stormed over and tried to reprimand him, but she realized how close they were to each other. He leaned closer to her, and for a moment she thought they were going to finally kiss. They turned their heads, almost touching lips...and slid on a chunk of ice melting on the floor. "Oof!" she called as she landed on her back.
"Rose!" The Doctor walked over to make sure she was alright, only to slip on the same chunk of ice and land on his back. They doubled over in laughter together.
"This was your bright idea, yeah?" she teased.
"I wanted snowcones!" he insisted.
"I think you made this happen on purpose!" Rose protested, and he didn't disagree. His hand found hers again and they laid on the floor for hours on puddles of water, just talking. The Doctor reached over to "brush a piece of ice from her hair", he swore, and she blushed.
But if you asked them, they were just friends.
AN: Sorry this is so short DX Just seemed like a good place to end things.
