The Doctor looked down at his watch and then back at the rag tag group in front of him. "We'll all meet back here in um, two hours?" Everyone nodded agreeing, except for Jack.
"What's wrong Jack are you not coming?" Martha said looking over at the captain.
"Nah," he pulled out a small piece of paper and handed it to her, it was a list of all of his favorite movies and food. "Can you just buy these things before we come and see you? I already have my gun so there's no point in me going." He turned around and walked into the Tardis.
"Are you sure Jack?" John said walking in after him.
"Yeah, that way I can raid the fridge and baby sit the Tardis. Someone has to babysit her." He patted the console lovingly and retreated back into the hallway.
John left the Tardis and walked straight over to Rose. "We have a frame to buy and an umbrella." He took her hand and they left the group going to a promising shop named GEORGE'S FRAMES AND PHOTOS.
Mickey and Martha were next to leave, they didn't have anything they needed to buy other than Jacks long list of movies and foods so they went off looking for some lunch.
Amy and Rory left next, looking for items that she could give to Martha, so she could decorate their guest room.
They were left alone now and the Doctor turned to face his wife. "So what do we need to buy?" He asked her as they started to walk down the street.
"Don't get too excited about this, but we're on the lookout for a bowtie."
"Bowtie! Bowties are cool!" River laughed while shaking her head at him.
"So you've told me, let's just hope we don't run into any fezzes." His face lit up with an enormous smile.
"Where are we Doctor?" Rose asked turning to look at John.
"Oh I've missed that!"
"Missed what?" She asked her eye brows raised as they turned the corner onto another busy street.
"You calling me Doctor."
"Well then Doctor, I'll ask again where are we?"
"We're in London. I thought you would've known that." He flashed her a sly smile as he started to swing her hand, which he was holding, back and forth.
"Alright then when are we?"
"We are in London on July 26th 2058. Best place to find an umbrella."
"You're ridiculous." She said moving her hand from his and then grabbing him around the waist. He followed suit.
"I am?"
"Ya, one of the reasons I love you."
"So what are we looking for?" Rory asked his wife as they walked out of their sixth shop.
"Pillows Rory, we're looking for pillows." She took out her phone and showed him the picture of the bedroom, "see these pillows."
"Those exact pillows." He said looking past her.
"Yes those exact ones." She said not noticing where he was looking.
"No, Amy I mean those exact pillows." He took her by the shoulders and rotated her around to reveal a window display.
"Yes! They're perfect! Rory sometimes you're amazing!" She ran towards the shop dragging him by his hand.
"Sometimes?"
River almost immediately regretted taking him into the tie shop. She should have brought someone else with her to find the bowtie, like Amy or even Jack for that matter.
He was like a kid in a candy store, but a hundred times more excited. He walked up and down the displays pointing out almost every bow tie he saw, making her come over and look at the ones he liked the most.
River looked over his shoulder looking for the bowtie that she needed. "I don't see it." She said shrugging.
"If you don't see the bowtie here, we have hundreds more in the back we could show you." The store clerk offered.
The Doctors grin enlarged something River thought was impossible. "I guess we'll look at them." She sighed; it was going to take a while to find the tie.
The clerk nodded and walked into the back. Moments later he returned carrying multiple displays. He set them down on the counter and the Doctor almost started to drool.
She looked up and down the displays still not seeing the tie she needed. "I just don't see it."
"What does it look like; I'm sure I could help you locate it." The store clerk informed her.
"Its dark blue and the fabric has a faint pattern on it of triangles, it's hardly noticeable."
"River," the Doctor whispered looking up at her, "I have that bowtie back in my Tardis."
"You do?" He nodded. "I guess we don't need to buy one then." She said looking up at the clerk.
"Yes we do," the Doctor said pointing out various bowties he wished to purchase, "I need a replacement."
"You just pointed out at least five." River informed him.
"Reinforcements," he stated, his grin growing ear to ear.
