Disclaimer: Cries hysterically... you get where I'm coming from!

AN - this is mostly just cute fluff and explanations in the form of the Tardis Fact File. I thought it was a pretty good idea coz it gives readers the required info, but doesn't necessarily mean that the Doctor has to know it yet or that he has to explain it in that gorgeous rambling way of his.

anyway, please review if you get time - i hope you enjoy it :)


Chapter 2 - Beans for Breakfast:

The next morning - if you could call it morning, it's difficult to tell in the Tardis - Rose awoke to find the Doctor beside her snoring soundly. She smiled to herself. Who would've guessed that the Doctor would snore? Then again, he was fairly loud when he was awake - it shouldn't really surprise her that he made so much noise when he was sleeping. No sooner had she thought this than he opened a bleary eye, fixing her with his chocolaty brown gaze.

"Why are you staring at me, Rose?"

"You were snoring" she said, barely suppressing a grin.

"I was not!" he cried indignantly, sitting completely upright in the bed.

"You were too, Doctor. Don't worry, it's not like I mind or anything. In fact, it's kinda cute" Rose smiled.

"You think so?" asked the Doctor, his expression immediately changing.

"Of course - very cute" she insisted, knowing where the conversation was headed.

"Very cute?" said the Doctor, as he wrapped an arm around Rose's middle and pulled her in for a kiss. Before he got a chance to do anything else, Rose pushed him away (using all her will power to break the kiss) and told him in a stern voice "You promised we could explore wherever it is that we are today. So let's go!". The Doctor heaved a sigh.

"Do we absolutely have to go right now?" he moaned.

"Yes. Do you remember step b, Doctor?" Rose added coyly.

"Step b, step b, that was.. Ohhh, right. Well, what are we waiting for? Exotic shores await us" he leapt out of bed and headed out the door.

"I'll just get some breakfast" called Rose. The Doctor immediately popped his head back in the door.

"Breakfast? Do we have to?" an undeniable tone of impatience in his voice.

"First breakfast as husband and wife" Rose reminded him.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot," then catching Rose's expression, "I mean, err. I'll go start breakfast" and with that he dashed out of the room.


Tardis Fact file 1:

Neuvolians are a unique race, native to the planet Neuvolima. They are composed mostly of a gaseous compound and are able to appear invisible to the naked eye (of humans) as a result. However, when they are visible, they are seen to be humanoid in appearance, with two arms, two legs, a torso and one head. Their heads are commonly crowned with flowing golden hair, but the males of the species tend to have slightly darker hair, and tribal elders have only a single plait to signify their importance within the community. Neuvolians are able to communicate both telepathically and by the spoken word which makes them such unique creatures. The varied tribes of the Neuvolians inhabit the numerous coastlines of the continents of the small planet. They gain their energy from solar radiation from the twin suns that orbit the planet in a figure eight shape. The Neuvolians have always been peaceful and rational beings since the creation of their planet. However, over recent months, their planet has been under attack by an outside force. The natives are unsure of how to combat the new threat as they are not versed in either the art of warfare or the delicate nature of diplomacy - a direct result of having been in solitude for eons. With limited technology and a distinct separation from the outside world, they have been unable to send out a distress signal or SOS message to passing travellers or other planets. However, their telepathic form of communication allows them to emit brainwaves in order to lure any other being with such powers to the planet so as to enlist their help.


Sitting across from Rose at the breakfast table was a completely surreal experience for the Doctor, who was now dressed in his classic pinstripe suit and converses, eating beans on toast and drinking a cup of tea. Rose was similarly bemused at the situation she'd found herself in. Over the past, what, 48 hours she had been transported from a parallel universe back to her original universe, been reunited with the man she loved, been abducted by aliens, been rescued by the man she loved, been married to the man she loved by a close friend, had spent the wedding night with the man she loved (which probably was the least unusual part) and was now sitting across the table from him, eating some rather tasty beans on toast that he, the love of her life, had cooked for her. Now they were about to go outside of their time and relative dimension in space machine and explore the surprise destination of their very own honeymoon. Really, Rose thought to herself, this can't get any better.

Wanna bet? the Doctor interrupted.

"Oi, that's private," said Rose, aiming a kick at him from under the small table they shared.

"Ouch! Okay, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to pry. I just got bored with my own thoughts and decided that you would be more interesting. After all, we are man and wife - no secrets" he grinned. Rose just grinned at him.

"Man and wife. That's going to take some getting used to"

"Tell me about it. Never been married before. Well, not to you anyway"

"What!" cried Rose, nearly falling over in shock.

"Oh, right, the no secrets thing. I have been married before. I was a dad once, too. Before the war" he trailed off, looking incredibly melancholy. Although she was positively burning with questions about his family that she never knew existed, Rose knew enough to drop the subject. The Time War had always been something of a touchy subject with the Doctor - he had lost his entire planet and all his people, after all - it was completely understandable. Besides, the Doctor had mentioned that he was a dad once before to Rose - just in passing, he never really explained…

"So when and/or where are we exactly" Rose attempted a change of topic, and it was seized upon gratefully by the Doctor. Really, she knew him too well.

"We are some time during the forty fifth century on the planet of Neuvolima. Not sure where exactly, thought. Probably best to go outside and have a peek," he rose from the table, collecting his and Rose's plates and sticking them in the sink. How domestic.

"It's a planet covered in beautiful little islands, surrounded by clear blue seas. You get the most incredible sunsets here. Two suns orbiting this place."

"So, it's all beaches and sunshine then?" Rose said, grinning. "At last I can get a half decent tan"

"Don't go overboard. I like you just the way you are. No tan necessary."

"Just the way I am, huh? So I shouldn't go get changed into my sexy beach clothes then?"

"Now I never said that" he said firmly, looking up from running the sink full of soapy water.

"Well aren't you going to change, then?"

"Nah, this suit's completely multipurpose. Works everywhere" he replied nonchalantly.

"If it is a beach, you are going to cook" said Rose.

"I like this suit. The suit stays"

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you" Rose cautioned, pointing a finger at him before leaving the room.

When did she become so bossy? The Doctor asked himself.

"I heard that!"


If anyone has any ideas on who the alien threat to the Neuvolians should be please let me know... but i have a few ideas in mind

Thanks for the great reviews so far - keep them coming:)
