Now that that bride was back, the reception continued as before. Except now, Donna joined in the dancing, taking Nerys's place and dancing with Lance. The Doctor leaned against the bar and smiled as he watched her. Rose appeared next to him.
"So what do you think Doctor?" She said, holding out her hand to him. "Think you still got the moves?" She asked, raising her eyebrows, daring him. He grinned at her and took hand.
"I don't know. Let's find out." He said with a tongue in cheek grin." And he led her to the dance floor. The music seemed to intensify as he danced with Rose and he couldn't help but smile at the appropriateness of the song.
Well I've roamed about the Earth,
With just a suitcase in my hand,
And I've met some bug-eyed Joes.
I've met the blessed; I've met the dammed,
But of all the strange, strange creatures
In the air, on sea, on land,
Oh my girl, my girl, my precious girl,
I love you, you understand.
The Doctor's hold tightened on Rose with that last line, and she looked up at him.
"Doctor?" she asked quietly. He looked down at her and smiled. She smiled back. Words weren't necessary. They both knew what the other was thinking.
Well, you took me in, you stole my heart,
I cannot roam no more,
Because love, it stays with you,
It does not wash up on a shore.
But a fighting man forgets each cut,
Each knock, each bruise, each fall.
But a fighting man cannot fight,
Why his love don't roam no more.
So reel me in my precious girl
Come on, take me home
'Cause my body's tired of traveling
And my heart don't wish to roam.
Yeah, walk with me my precious girl,
Walk tall, walk proud, walk far.
For you are my love, you are, you are
You are my shining star you are, you are
Yeah.
So reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home.
'Cause my body's tired of traveling
And my heart doesn't wish to roam.
The Doctor and Rose slowly circled on the dance floor, holding tightly to each other until the last chorus faded. The Doctor smiled as he brushed a stray hair from her face. Rose smiled back.
"Thanks." She said softly.
"Anytime." He told her, just as quietly. They stood there for a while, just holding each other before they finally broke apart. Taking Rose's hand, he led her back over to the bar.
"How's that for moves?" He asked with a grin.
"Shame Jack isn't here." Rose said, "He'd be downright jealous." She teased. The Doctor laughed and they sat in comfortable silence then suddenly, The Doctor had a thought.
"Can I have a look at your mobile?" He asked her, and she dug it out of her pocket and gave it to him.
"Whatcha doing?" She asked as she watched him do a search for "H.C. Clements" on her phone.
"I have a feeling that there's something bigger going on behind H.C. Clements." He told her. Looking around to make that no one was watching, The Doctor pulled out the sonic screwdriver and used it to speed up the process. Results started to flick by on the screen until The Doctor stopped it. The phone read,
"Sole Prop. TORCHWOOD."
"Torchwood." Rose read over his shoulder. "Like Torchwood?" She asked as he closed the phone and gave it to her. He just nodded.
"The one and the same."
"But weren't they destroyed? At Canary Wharf."Rose asked, still confused. The Doctor nodded again.
"Torchwood was destroyed, but H.C. Clements stayed in business…" He mused, trying to figure out what was going on. But as he thought, he noticed the cameraman in the corner, taping the proceedings. "Come on." He said, grabbing her hand and running over to him.
