Time to act like a human :D

28

It was strange to feel so normal, so human. Doctor looked at the group gathered in the house, it wasn't a particularly large house although it probably looked bigger when there wasn't a huge amount of people milling around in it. Phil stood beside him shaking her head, "Mingle brilliantly like you do I need to find Erin." Phil smiled and left him to as she put it – mingle. It definitely was strange, there were very few times when the Doctor had moments like this, when he felt so normal. Caught up in the chaos of time travel he often forgot what the little moments felt like.

"It's a disaster!"

"You kept saying that on the phone," Phils voice was easy to hear, she sounded so calm compared to the hysteric other woman. Doctor followed the sound of the voices and wound up in a kitchen. The blond woman obviously noticed him before he noticed her, he was to busy looking around.

"Oh hello!" She jumped up and past Phil who just turned and looked at him, "You must be Pips boyfriend! How did she describe you...oh yeah, silly." She paused which caused Doctor to look at her, Phil was close to bursting out laughing. "I'm Erin."

"So you're the bride to be who seems to be in a little trouble? Whatever is the matter?" Doctor asked while shaking Erins hand when she stuck it out to him. "I'm John."

"Good to meet you John!" Erin smiled widely and then turned to sit back in the seat which Phil was standing near. Erin pulled a face and put her head in her hands, Phil took a step over to him. "Family crisis and a missing brother and fiancé."

"Oh I see," Doctor nodded slowly and looked between the upset blond and Phil, "Pip?" He whispered to her, she grinned and nodded. "You seem to be getting random nicknames left right and center and all I get is silly."

"You are silly, accept it." Phil turned back to Erin, "I have," crouching down in front of the woman the two talked quietly and then she stood back up and looked at him. "We're going to try and find them."

"Alright come on then," Doctor followed Phil out of the kitchen and then out of the front door, walking around the side of the building Phil frowned. "Ok this one time I give you permission to try and link to them. But so help me no more linking onto people alright? You can't kept on using your psychic energy like that."

"Thanks," Phil said and leant her head against the wall and shut her eyes, Doctor put his hands in his pockets and looked around. The neighbourhood was rather nice, not to posh yet not totally rough and suspicious looking. Phil jumped and shook her head which caused him to look at her, "Any luck?"

"They're on their way." She answered and rubbed her head, "Ouch."

"See! That's why I tell you to not link to people or anything because it hurts. The after effects just aren't worth it!" Doctor lectured while tapping her on the nose, "We better tell Erin."

"Mmhm." Phil nodded and walked back to the front door just as the two men in question appeared. "Oh you two can't go in there, well you can't Kev."

"Pip! Hello...who's that?"

"I think that's her boyfriend, the one Erin kept on about meeting." The younger of the two said, Doctor looked between them and then at Phil.

"This is John." Phil pointed at him, "John this is Kevin, and Nathaniel."

"Nathan, it's just Nathan."

"Nathaniel."

"Stop it! I'm going in to see my sister," Nathan huffed and stormed into the building. Kev and Phil laughed at his childish reaction, "You better go get ready, you have to be at the church in like an hour." Phil said while pulling out her watch from her bag. Doctor shook his head, she just couldn't live without it honestly, she had no use for it. She didn't need a damper anymore, and he wasn't to happy about her having a teleporter. But all in all it did keep rather good time.

Giving a shrug and soon noticing it was just the two of them outside Doctor shook his head, "Are all wedding days like this?"

"I don't know how many weddings you've been to Doctor, I mean John, but they're all rather hectic." Phil sighed and rocked back and forth on her heels. "I remember my cousins one vaguely...they were both late and then my uncle got into a fight...I think..."

"Hey! More memories are returning to you!"

"Uh-huh they come in dribs and drabs I shouldn't complain at least the hard to reach memories are returning." Phil smiled up at him, "Come on we better get Erin out of that house and to that church."

"Why must we be the ones to hurry her along?"

"Because we're great motivators!"

Doctor stood confused, for the amount of chaos there was – he came to the decision that there was more chaos going into a human wedding than a Dalek invasion – that the whole experience was rather short lived. He also only just got told that Phil was a bridesmaid when they turned up at the church which meant that he was currently standing in between a weeping woman and a stern faced man.

Although he had to admit for what it was it was a rather nice moment, frowning he grinned at both Erin, Kev and Phil and the other bridesmaid when they walked back down the aisle. He could see that Phil was more than happy that this was over. She'd spent about half an hour back in the house rushing Erin around to get ready. And then lectured Nathan about teasing his sister and how turning up late wasn't a very nice practical joke because apparently – as she put it – a wedding is apparently the girls biggest dream or something like that. It went over his head, he understood most things but not the most human things, weddings being one of them.

"Are you alright?" Phil popped up into his vision, unknown to him he'd followed the crowd of people out of the church and was now standing outside. He frowned and looked up at the sky, Phil laughed. "Yes it's snowing how cool? Excuse the lame pun."

"Just typical-" his sentence got cut off by Erin having a moment over the snow too, Phil looked at her and then up at him. "You humans and snow." He muttered and patted her on the head, she giggled and turned to look at her friend.

"It was nice," she said referring to the wedding. "I thought it would never happen though." Phil smiled at Erin when she posed for some photos with Kevin. "They're a weird couple, come along John." Phil walked down the steps and towards the blond. "Can I just say it feels weird having to keep calling you John?"

"Well I may just jump on the wagon of calling you Pip. I like Pip."

"More than Phil?"

"No I like Phil much more, but then Philippa is much nicer." Doctor mused, she just laughed and shook her head. Doctor and Phil both flinched slightly when both Kevin and Erin exclaimed words of a night long party. The two looked at each other and then at them.
