Honeymooning
Day 1
Joshua had booked them a cruise in the Mediterranean. Despite their adventuring past, Rose was excited. She'd never been on a cruise before. Joshua wouldn't admit it, but the only cruises he'd ever been on had ended in disaster. But he wanted this to be the best time of his and Rose's life. They were married, after all.
They were scheduled to depart from Rome at 8pm. Joshua made sure that they arrived in the city early in the day. He was excited and wanted to see the sights. Rose assured him that most things were the same but it didn't matter. He wanted to experience it for himself. So they spent the day touring the city. He even visited the museum where the Statue of Fortuna was held in their Universe. Not surprisingly, they didn't have it.
Joshua and Rose checked in to the cruise ship an hour early. That way they had plenty of time to unpack before departure. They wanted to be on deck for the departure. They even managed to not get too distracted in their suite before their departure time. They watched, twin grins on their faces, before heading to one of the many restaurants.
Day 2
Their second day, they docked in Naples. He'd tried to take her there once, back when he was all gruff and Northern. They'd ended up in Cardiff, facing zombies instead. It was the first time he'd realized that she was falling for him. Or at least suspected. Hoped? She'd looked so beautiful in that dress and he'd told her as much. Then he had to qualify it out of embarrassment. He was such a fool.
They subjected themselves to the guided tour. Rose had to quiet Joshua on more than one occasion and remind him that this wasn't the same Universe and no, those events didn't happen exactly like he remembered. He spent the entire time whispering his exploits to her, which made her giggle and the tour guide glare at them both. All-in-all, it was a good day.
That night, they made love for the first time since officially being married. They took their time, exploring one another's bodies. Their bond flared and cemented, tying them closer together. They pushed one another to the edges of ecstasy before finally letting one another tumble over.
Day 3
The third day was spent entirely on the water. They were headed across the Mediterranean Sea and would dock the next day at Barcelona. Rose started her day in the spa, while Joshua explored the many activities that were offered on the cruise ship. They met and ate a light lunch before heading to the pool. Her first Doctor loathed taking her to the beach. She'd learned, later, that it was because he cold barely control his impulses around her. She felt a bit satisfied at that, and a bit sad. She'd loved him as long as she could remember. At least since their first trip to Cardiff, when they met Charles Dickens. Rose smiled as she remembered her first Doctor.
As her memories shifted to her second Doctor, Rose drifted to a light slumber. Joshua lay, relaxed, beside her and held her hand gently. Together, they were content.
Days 4-7
Barcelona. They finally made it. While it isn't the planet that he had promised so long ago, it was still a sight to behold. Beaches, resorts, and culture galore for them to explore. Their cruise was over, but they planned to have an extended stay to enjoy the sights before finally heading home. It was a closing for them, in some ways.
They checked into their hotel room before heading out into the city. Joshua was excited and wanted her to try some of the local cuisine. It was so Doctor-like that for a moment, she forgot they were in the same time zone and planet. The people didn't look any different, but the language was foreign and she immersed herself in the strangeness of it all. It was easy to pretend, just for a little while.
Their last days were filled with exploring and their nights were filled with gentle touches and soft sighs.
