Disclaimer: I don't own anything… but I can steal it if you want me to.
There is a song that is on my mind at the moment, and it's called "Godsend" by DC Talk. It's pretty sweet – or as Rob would say: "Sweak".
I dub thee Sir Chapter of the Fourth!
(Please be patient with our waitresses, they may be a bit slow in taking your order tonight; we have a full house, obviously. If madams and sirs would perhaps care to join us after the program for coffee and tea in the lounge and a quiet discussion, that would be most splendid of you, though I can understand if you have to leave early. Guests are welcome. (Translation: Please feel free to click the icon at the bottom of your screen. It should be purple, and it should have the word "Review" in it. No hard feelings if you don't – well, there will be, we just won't express them.)

Part Four

The Doctor rose from his position on top of Rose and bounced carefully back onto firm ground. He grinned down at her softly and extended his hand to her. Rose smiled back and took the proffered hand, slowly getting up and cautiously testing her wait on the flowers. With a smile, she straightened her slightly rumpled clothes and walked firmly over to where the Doctor stood, waiting.
"Are you hungry?" queried Rose, tugging slightly at the Doctor's hand to get his attention on what she was saying.
The Doctor simply offered a smile, not saying anything.
"Doctor," said Rose, frowning pleadingly into his eyes.
"What?" he asked innocently, still grinning like an idiot.
"Doctor, this isn't funny," she pouted. "Why don't we get something to eat?"
"Maybe," replied the Doctor mysteriously, his eyes becoming a pleasant dark smouldering colour.
"Maybe?" asked Rose, shivering at his gaze.
"Well, why don't we head back to the TARDIS?" suggested the Doctor, swinging their joined hands.
"Sure, why not?" replied Rose, sighing. The two of them began walking slowly throughout the flowery planet, but, although Rose remembered the way they had come, the Doctor was leading her down a different path. She trusted him too much to let go of his hand and start off back to where she knew the TARDIS was, so she went along with his direction – the Doctor was walking towards something with determination. He turned to the side to look at her face.
"Are you sure you're feeling better, Rose?"
"Yes," answered Rose slowly. Where was he going with this?
The Doctor nodded. "Okay, just checking."
"Why?" Rose asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
The Doctor gave a mock sigh and then grinned. "You'll see…" he replied playfully, leaning over to gently kiss her on the lips.
"Mmm…" Rose groaned in appreciation as she kissed him fiercely back.
"Wow," gasped the Doctor when she finally let go of him.
"Mhmm…" Rose whispered against his shoulder.
The Doctor tugged her hand over one of his hearts and smiled into her brown eyes. Rose gave a little start at the rate of his heartbeat – it was four times faster than its usual beat.
"That is what your touch does to me," whispered the Doctor as he gazed lovingly into her eyes. Rose coloured under his gaze as her long eyelashes flicked down then up again. They stopped walking, flower petals still falling around them. To Rose's surprise, the Doctor looked deeply into her eyes – and began to sing.
"I've been waiting, hoping, praying, everybody needs somebody to love," he sang softly, pulling her closer to him. His voice was gentle and soft, soothing and beautiful to listen to. Rose hadn't known he could sing and was somewhat astonished at the fact he could sing so well. "There's no question, straight from heaven, you're my angel, and I'm so crazy for you." The song was so touching and so poignant to Rose. The Doctor smiled down at her, his eyes glowing with adoration. "You're a Godsend, a blessing from above, you've been God sent to me. You're the Godsend I've been dreaming of, you're a Godsend…" His voice drifted off into a gentle caress as his fingers gently traced her face and her hair lightly. Rose leaned into the touch, closing her eyes and just listening to his beautifully poetic voice.
"Holding your hand, touching your face, I will love you now and always, I swear!" he sang with rising passion. "I will never forget that first moment we met, when two worlds collided, and I found my lost friend… you're a Godsend, a blessing from above, you've been God sent to me. You're the Godsend I've been dreaming of, you're a Godsend." He made a little "ooo"ing sound that made Rose want to giggle, but she held it in, lest it spoil that magical moment. She could just listen to him sing forever.
"I was made for you. You were made for me. In this lonely world, we were meant to be… in love," he sang in a whisper, reaching up to stroke her cheek gently. "I will never forget that first moment we met – when two worlds, they clashed in, and I found my best friend… yeah, you're a Godsend, a blessing from above, you've been God sent to me. You're the Godsend I've been dreaming of, you're a Godsend."
The song was over. Rose took a deep breath and opened her eyes slowly. "That was beautiful," she murmured to him, her eyes suddenly filled with tears of gratitude, love and appreciation.
"You're welcome," the Doctor murmured softly back. "Now how about something to eat?"
"I'm game!" cried Rose with a laugh as the Doctor gave her a lingering kiss before beginning to walk back to the TARDIS, Rose following.
