Chapter Nine-Doctor's POV

Martha my dear though I spend my days in conversation
Please
Remember me Martha my love
Don't forget me Martha my dear

*Beep! Beep! Beep!*

I shot out of bed franticly trying to remember what color alarm made that sound. Green…no. Blue?….no again. At least it wasn't mauve, what would be bad. I rubbed at my eyes and looked around the room to get my bearings. I remembered what made that sound; an alarm clock. I groaned and smacked the snooze button silencing the repaticious and very annoying beeping sound.

"Just 10 more mintues." I promised my self as I dropped my head back onto the pillow. I smiled as I began to drift back to sleep.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I jolted upright again and starred in the direction from which the offending racket was coming. Surprise, surprise, it was coming from the door connecting Lexi's hotel room to mine.

"You better not still be asleep in there!" she called out loudly through the door, "We've only got half an hour."

"I'm awake," I called back not bothering to hide the annoyence in my voice, "And we have all the time in the world." I added hoping that she would agree to giving up the 'old fashioned way' of transportation.

"Well, I'm walking." She answered, "Besides, it's only two blocks away. What are you gunna do? Land the Tardis in the church?" I sighed and swung my legs over the side of the bed.

"Fine, I'm up." I assured her. She remained silent, but I knew she was gloating. I got up, splashed so cold water on my face and pulling a tooth brush out of my pocket ran it over my teeth. I wet my hair to flatten down my bed-head. It would undoubtedly pop back up again later. This regeneration's hair tended to defy gravity a bit, especially after running. Rose always liked it when my hair stuck up. I flattened it down some more.

Hold your head up you silly girl look what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly Girl.

I turned away from the mirror and pulled my brand new tuxedo out. I had opted for a very drak midnight blue instead of the normal black, besides, normal is boring. I slipped it on and walked around in it a bit. It didn't feel unlucky, but how does something feel unlucky anyway? I tied my matching blue bow tie, knowing that I wouldn't last the whole day with that thing strangling me, and attached the red cufflinks I'd bought to my wrists.

Just as I was about to sit down ands pull on my new pair of red converse, the other pair I suspected was with my blue suit, I heard knocking again, this time from the main door to the room. I got up and against my better judgement, answered it.

"Wow! Doctor, you clean up nice. Not as good as me though." greated Mickey. I shook my head in exasperation.

"Should have guessed you were a morning person." I grumbled at him.

"And you not?" he asked.

"Mickey, yet again you prove your idiocy," I answered more than slightly patronizingly, "I didn't even get out of bed on Christmas and I have a time machine so I'm never late. What do you think?"

"Yeah we'll being unconicous isn't exactally the same thing as sleeping. And 12 months instead of 12 hours is a tad bit late in my book."

"Technicalities."

"Whatever. We're all headed down soon."

"I supose it was this Tome fellow who thought a breakfast wedding was a smashing idea?"

"Actually, it was Martha's"

"Oh?"

"I suspect that she just wanted to have time to go out for a drink after the party," he laughed, "but anyways, grab your date and hurry down." He gave a half wave and I closed the door. I quickly sat down on the bed and laced up my trainers before knocking on Lexi's door.

"We gotta' go." I called through the door…and it opened.

Take a good look around you
Take a good look you're bound to see
That you and me were meant to be for each other
Silly girl.

I turn to look at lexi and I think one of my hearts skipped a beat or two. I knew somewhere deep down that it was wrong to feel that way, but she looked absolutly amazing. Her normally straight dark brown hair was curled and piled on top of her head, letting only a few ringlets drop down where they circled her face and brushed lightly against her neck. I had the strangest urge just that second to move them aside and replace their embrace with my own. She wearing simple but elegant red dress she had bought yesterday. As amazing as it had looked then, it looked better now and it perfectly eccentuated her dancer's figure. And much to my surprise and delight she sported dark blue converse on her dancer's feet. I grinned, "We match!"

"So we do." She laughed out. I think I blushed a little as I forced my foolish grin down and offered my hand. She took it. It was only then that I noticed she still had the Tardis key around her neck. I wondered if she had even taken it off. She displyed it proudly as if it was worth all the diamonds and zrythes in the world.

I allowed myself to smile again and pulled her out the door. Downstairs we met up the group again. Mickey was shoving food in his mouth and had ketchup spilled on his tie. Martha was MIA and I assumed she was already at the church. Luke looked uncomfortable in his too big tuxedo with Sarah Jane fidling with his hair. I chuckled.

"Ah, leave the poor boy alone Sarah Jane." I scolded her, "He looks fine." I heard Lexi snort behind me.

"Says the alien with a bush growing out of his head." She commented. I shot her look that said, Who's side are you on?

She just laughed and took my hand again as we started walking towards the church. Immedatly Sharah Jane hurried ahead pulling Luke with her and holding her hair. Mickey laughed and jogged to catch up them. I briefly considered followed Mickey, but decided against it as Lexi slowed down.

I matched her pace and casually began swinging our arms between us. The sun was still rising and I glanced over at Lexi. She blurred in the edges of my vision against the morning sky. She smiled, and I did the same. I could get used to this, I though selfishly, maybe we'll go somewhere really, really cold tomorrow.

Hold your hand out you silly girl see what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl.

I nodded awkwardly to the fully uniformed UNIT soldiers standing agaisnt the wall near were Lexi and I sat. I sighed. Behave yourself for Martha's sake, I ordered myself as the procesional music started playing. I glanced up to the front to apraise the soon to be Mr. Martha. I hoped he knew what he was getting himself into. He looked nervous and I pitied the poor guy. Just another reason why I didn't do domestic.

I noticed that everyone had turned the other way. I wondered what they were starring at, so I turned as well. It was Martha. She was walking down the aisle holding her father's arm. I nearly burst into laughter, but that would have been inappropriate. Leave it to Martha to find a wedding dress like that.

She was wearing a halter dress that stopped just past her knees with a jeweled waist that matched her high heels. At least it was white. She did look beautiful though, and it was hard to imagine her in a real long, frilly dress anyway.

As if she knew what I was thinking she glanced over at me and gave me a wink. I smiled in response and she mirrored it. She knew this was torture for me, and I promise it was, but I would suffer in silence for Martha, she deserved it.

Martha my dear you have always been my inspiration
Please
Be good to me Martha my love
Don't forget me Martha my dear
