"We're here." She said after they landed in the airport in Utah. They stood up and left the air plane. "We have to go to the ticket counter so that we can buy tickets to London." The airport was busy and not wanting to get separated from the Doctor she grabbed his hand and pulled him forward.
Halfway through the airport they came to a large walkway. On one side of the walkway there was a long electric sidewalk that moved numerous stationary people forward.
Before Rose could say anything he pulled her onto the moving path. "Doctor the other way would've been faster."
"Yes, but this way is more fun!" he started walking forward through the people pulling her behind him. Faster than expected they arrived at the ticket counter.
"Two tickets for London." The time lord said swinging the hand he held Rose's with back and forth. The man behind the counter quickly typed into his computer.
"Passports and money," the Doctor leaned over and handed the man his psychic paper. The man nodded and then handed the tickets to the Doctor and Rose. "The next flight is in four hours." The Doctor grumbled under his breath as they started to walk to their gate.
"We'll have to go through security again." Rose said. He moaned having barely gotten through the last security check, which consisted of only a pat down to check if he had a gun.
Rose took off her belt and her shoes and placed them into the bucket. The Doctor followed suit taking his jacket and boots off also. He watched as Rose stepped through the metal detector. He followed after her, glad that the detector didn't detect any alien metals, from everything he was carrying in his pants pockets.
When he went to grab his coat the woman behind the machine stopped him. She reached into the pocket and grabbed his sonic screwdriver. "What is this?" She asked turning the screwdriver over.
"It's, uh, it's a flashlight." He took the screwdriver and clicked the button. She jumped at the sound but then shrugged as it did shine a light.
"What's the noise?" The Doctor sighed; this was going to be difficult.
Rose watched the Doctor as he tried to get his sonic screwdriver through security as she laced up her trainers and put her belt back on. She waited for him for twenty minutes as he convinced the security personnel that he wasn't sneaking a bomb into the airport.
"That was worse than fighting the slitheen." He put his boots and jacket back on. "Right so now where?" She stood up and took his hand and they started to walk through the airport.
"We have to go to our gate, and then we get to wait some more." He moaned and she laughed at how he was so impatient. "Welcome to the life of the everyday human.
"Oooooh!" he said when they walked towards their gates, "look at all the little shops, I love little shops!" She giggled and then turned to look at him.
"I know." They walked around the corner when Rose saw them. "Doctor look! It's Amy and Rory." He looked down and saw Amy and Rory coming out of a gate. His eyes widened as he looked at Rose who was trying to gain their attention.
He grabbed her and shoved her into a small shop. "Doctor what are you doing!?" She yelled at him.
"SHHHHHH," he put his hand over her mouth as she started to yell at him, "they might see us." She looked at him furiously. "That's not Amy and Rory. Well it is, but that's a past version of Amy and Rory. If they see us we would create another paradox, because present Amy and Rory don't know where we are."
The Doctor watched as his two friends walked past him, slowing removing his hand from Rose's mouth. He sighed knowing what they were going to see when they met him; they were going to see him die.
"What's wrong?" she said looking up at him.
"It's a long story." Out of the corner of her eye Rose saw a machine that would play any CD that the store had on hand, so that you could see if you wanted to buy it. She walked over to it and started to go through the choices.
The Doctor walked behind her and leaned over and pressed one of the buttons. Music started to fill the small shop, which caused the clerk to look up but then back down at his iphone game.
He put his hand out for Rose to take. She raised her eyebrows confused at what he wanted. "Come on, the world doesn't end if the Doctor dances," he flashed her a smile as she grabbed his hand.
He spun her around in the small space that they had, dipping her slightly so that she didn't hit her head. They danced slowly around in place as she leaned her head against his shoulder.
When the music came to a stop she looked back at him. "Thank you." He smiled down at her and then took her hand and led her out of the shop. He looked down to where Amy and Rory had been to make sure that they were gone.
"So, we have three more hours of waiting and then we have our flight, how long is our flight again? No more than two hours right?" She started laughing, "what?"
"Doctor our flight is five hours long." He moaned collapsing on one of the chairs outside of their gate.
"What am I going to do for five hours?!"
"We also have a layover in Atlanta. And then another flight for ten hours." She winced as the Doctor moaned again louder.
