"I'm just gonna get cleaned up and rest a bit," Rose tells the Doctor as she moves towards her room.

The Doctor watches as Rose walks down the hallway, he can feel the TARDIS's pleasure and he's not sure what to do with it. The TARDIS has never responded to a companion the way she responds to Rose, every other companion she's tolerated knowing that the Doctor needs people to travel with but she's never actually liked them, he might even say that she loves Rose.

The TARDIS chimes at him in acknowledgement of his thoughts. Frowning again he moves to his room to shower and change before moving to the library to read. No matter how hard he tries to, he can't get the kiss Rose bestowed on him in the cabinet room out of his mind.

Did she kiss him because she thought they might die, or did she actually want to kiss him and took the opportunity when presented. Did she like the kiss, she never gave him time to get over his shock before she had grabbed him and pulled him into the cupboard.

When Rose stepped out of the shower she found that the TARDIS had already laid out her favourite pyjamas, shorts and shirt covered in little green alien's and silver flying saucers. Sending the TARDIS a thanks she dressed then went off looking for the Doctor. The TARDIS lead her to the library where she found the Doctor reading or suppose to be reading, by the looks of it he seemed to be thinking instead of concentrating on the book.

The Doctor was startled out of his thoughts as Rose stepped into the library with her tongue touched grin. The Doctor swallowed visibly when he realised the pyjama set she was wearing had very short shorts and a tight top, then he noticed the design on them and wasn't sure if he should laugh or be offended.

The TARDIS pointed Rose to a shelf near the fireplace, third row from the bottom and Rose pulled out what appeared to be a photo album. Opening it up she finds pictures of two people, one old with white hair wearing a black frock coat and a fawn waistcoat over a wing-collared shirt, a black necktie and firmly tapered and creased check trousers.

The person next to him looked like a teenage female, pixie like in appearance with short cropped dark hair. Glancing to the Doctor then back to the photo she has a feeling who the photo might depict but unsure wether she should bring it up. The TARDIS nudged her, assuring her that it would be alright.

The Doctor kept glancing at Rose, wondering what she was looking at when Rose stood up suddenly and turned to him. Taking a deep breathe for courage Rose walked over to the Doctor with the photo album and sat down next to him. "Doctor," Rose called softly. The Doctor put down the book he hadn't been reading and watched her carefully. Rose shows him the photo she had been looking at hesitantly. "Would you tell me about the first adventures you had in the TARDIS."

The Doctor looked at the photo and swallowed hard when he saw the picture of his first self and his granddaughter Susan. He lifted a shaking finger and stroked the picture of Susan as the memories came to him. He took so long to answer that Rose opened her mouth to let him off the hook when he started to talk.

He tells her all about his adventures and his companions of his first incarnation. How his granddaughters teachers ended up as companions. How his granddaughter Susan fell in love with a human boy and he knew that she would never leave him willingly so he locked her out of the TARDIS.

Rose whacked his arm at that admission and he pouted at her before continuing to tell how him, Ian and Barbara then met Vicki. When he first met the Daleks and how they keep popping up in his lives. How Ian and Barbara decided to take an abandoned Dalek time ship to head back home and him and Vicki continued until they met Steven and then Vicki met and fell in love with a human from Troy and ended up leaving.

He told her of all the places and beings they met, how he accidentally brought a slave girl from Troy Katerina with them and how she sacrificed herself to stop a traitor in league with the Daleks. Then they end up picking up a young girl called Dodo Chaplet. They continuing travelling, landing on an ark in space. The Doctor then explains about meeting the Toymaker and how he knows him and the game he's forced to play.

Rose laughs as the Doctor tells her about being rendered unable to talk, knowing that it must off annoyed the Doctor to not be able to talk. Then the Doctor tells her about landing around the time of the battle at the OK corral and how they managed to escape. They then land on a planet inhabited by an advanced civilisation and savages the Doctor convinced Steven to stay behind as a mediator and as both parties agreed he does and so the Doctor and Dodo leave.

The Doctor then explains that they land in London again and after dealing with a war machine Dodo chooses to stay behind and he instead takes Ben and Polly, who he met while dealing with the war machines, travelling with him accidentally as he didn't know that they had followed him. Then they met and help Smugglers before then landing in the South Pole where they met the Cybermen.

That's when Rose is told that the Doctor regenerated for the first time because of the Cybermen. The Doctor finished off his explanation as he looked down and found Rose trying to keep herself awake. He nudges her, to get her attention. "I think I'll leave it there so you can get some sleep," Rose opened her mouth to protest but the Doctor stopped her before pressing a kiss to her forehead.

Rose knew he was right, she also knew that he would never make the first move so she took it on herself and leaned forward to kiss him on the lips. Just as the Doctor was starting to respond to her kiss, she pulled back and bided him goodnight before heading off to bed. The TARDIS was amused to see her thief struck dumb by a human.

It was at least half an hour before the Doctor woke up from the daze that Roses kiss had left him in and another three hours of him trying to figure out weather she meant it as a friend thing or more. Shaking off those thoughts he decided he'll leave it for now and see where she wants to go next.

The fact that the Doctor didn't take her back home after kissing him boosted Roses confidence but she knew that if she rushed the Doctor into anything he'd just run in the other direction so she took her time. After every adventure their celebratory hugs turned into celebratory kisses, the Doctor was getting use to Roses kisses and started craving them. The kisses steadily grew longer as the Doctor started responding to them.

It was at night while they were floating in the Time Vortex that the Doctor made the first move. The Doctor and Rose had been snuggling together while the Doctor finished reading Charles Dickens, that he glanced down and found Rose watching him with her tongue touched grin. His eyes involuntarily moved to her lips before looking back into her eyes.

It's then that he decides to throw away his rules and swoops down to capture her lips in a passionate kiss. Roses breathe hitches as the Doctor places his hand behind her head to ensure that she doesn't pull away this time as his other hand snakes around her waist and pulls her closer to him.

Before Rose knows it, she's straddling the Doctors lap as he kisses down her neck until he reaches the point where her neck mets her shoulders and he suckles hard. He pulls back after a few minutes, satisfied as he sees the dark mark he made that'll proclaim to everyone they met that she belongs to him. He moved in to darken the mark more but the TARDIS shock an alarm started blaring.

Pulling back to look at each other Rose queried. "What's going on?"

The Doctor listens for a minute before replying. "It sounds like she's picked up a distress signal."

Rose and the Doctor let out a sigh simultaneously before grinning at each other as they walked to the console room.
