Oh, Yeah: Barcelona

Prompt from Rose's Companion: Something on Barcelona (the planet)

Prompt from Raineh14: Perhaps you could do one Quin's first birthday? {I hope it's okay that I made her a bit older}

"SO, Doctor, what are we gonna get Quin for her birthday?" The Doctor and Rose had been planning for weeks, but for the life of them they couldn't come up with a decent present. They'd even asked Donna, Jack, and Jackie, but they couldn't come up with anything either. What do you get as a present for a girl that has all of time and space at her disposal?

"Well, we could… Or maybe we could… But it might be neat if we… Yeah, I've got nothing." The Doctor shrugged and continued to fidget in frustration. "Ooh! How about a pet?" He turned to Rose with a manic grin, almost like it was his birthday they were planning (which he was finally able to remember as being the 23RD of November). Rose shook her head almost immediately, but the Doctor was determined. "Now, now, now. Before you shoot my idea down in 20-foot flames, hear me out. What else could we possibly get her? We can't take her for a holiday because literally every time we leave the house it's essentially a holiday. She has all the toys and books she could ever want, and she has the entire Vortex at her fingertips. A dog or a cat or a pigmy Raxacoricofalapatorian would not only make her happy, but it would teach her responsibility and provide her with some companionship. It'd be great." When he saw that his wife still looked a bit skeptical, he used his secret weapon: whining. "Pleeeeease?" he moaned, eyes impossibly wide and bottom lip sticking out.

Rose chuckled a bit at his antics before begrudgingly nodding. "And what kind of pet would you have in mind?"

The Doctor looked away in concentration, before jumping (which, in turn, made Rose jump) in realization. "Oh! I've got it!" He turned to Rose with a ridiculously large smile and said, "Do you remember what I told you about Barcelona?"

"GOOD morning, Birthday Girl!" The Doctor and Rose burst into their now 5-year-old daughter's room, their faces wearing matching bright, happy grins. They were both wearing cone-shaped party hats, which were bright blue, and they carried with them a small cake with five burning candles in a circle. Quin squealed in surprised joy before jumping out of bed and running to hug her parents. She was given a small paper hat of her own, and she was instructed to blow out the candles on her cake and make a wish. Her little face scrunched up in the cutest look of concentration and focus, and then a radiant smile as she puffed her cheeks out and blew.

Her parents applauded, and they all stepped out and walked to the kitchen to serve up the cake. The little girl had a look of awe as she gasped and said, "I get cake… for breakfast?"

"Of course you do," Rose replied with a grin. "It's your birthday, sweetheart. Why wouldn't you get breakfast cake?"

They each had a piece of the cake- which was chocolate with blueberry icing, Quin's favorite- and then it was time for presents. Quin happily ripped off the wrapping on an intergalactic atlas from Uncle Jack, a plush Adipose baby from Aunt Donna, a red bicycle from Grandmum, and a constellation I-Spy checklist from Honorary Granddad Wilf. She was surprised when she didn't see any presents from Mum and Dad, but she was worried to say anything. She just looked up at them with her huge brown eyes and a confused look.

The Doctor and Rose's hearts melted at the sight, and they knew without her saying anything that she was disappointed, but even as young as she was she was too polite to say anything. "We have a bit of bad news, dear," the Doctor began in a falsely concerned tone. They noticed the way that her face fell a bit at that, but the little girl quickly tried to school her features into a mask of indifference. The Doctor couldn't help it after that, and his face was overtaken by a gigantic smile. "You're going to have to leave the TARDIS so we can go pick up your present."

Quin gasped and jumped up, wrapping her small arms around her parents' necks and hugging them tightly. "Thank you thank you thank you!"

After that, the family was in a flurry of activity, with the Doctor dancing about the console trying to land them, and Rose helping Quin get ready for their adventure. Within 20 minutes they were all gathered in the console room and ready to go. Quin still didn't know where exactly it was they were going, but she knew her Mummy and Daddy would take her somewhere fantastic. "Allons-y, Daddy!" The Doctor turned to Rose then, with tears in his eyes and a proud smile on his face. "Did you hear that?" he asked her through their psychic link. Even though it was only thoughts she could hear the proud tears in his voice.

Rose only rolled her eyes in response and took one of her daughter's hands in her own, then turning and doing the same with one of the Doctor's. He beamed at her and Quin before opening the door with no small amount of grandeur and flamboyantly announcing, "Quintavious Idris Tyler, may I present to you… the planet of Barcelona!" The little girl squealed in delight and gave her parents another huge hug before running out the doors and into the street.

Rose and the Doctor ran after her and were immediately hit by how sweet the air smelled. It was like fresh rain and baking cookies, and it somehow just smelt like home. They caught up to her very soon and reminded her of their rule about not wandering off, and then they hit the streets to sight-see. They went to the nearest bakery and tried some kind of cookie that glowed a soft orange and tasted like cinnamon and strawberries, and then they rented a hoverbike (with a child-safe seat attachment) to continue their tour. The Doctor was driving, and with his wife behind him and their child at his side, he wasn't half chuffed.

They spent the next few hours doing everything and nothing, just happy to be together and, well, happy. Then came the moment of truth. The Doctor parked their hoverbike in front of a smallish stone building and gestured for Quin and Rose to come inside with him. The bell 'ding'-ed cheerfully as they entered the shop, and the Doctor and Rose watched in amusement as Quin oohed and aahed over all of the noseless puppies in the Barcelonan pet store. After about ten minutes of this, the Doctor and Rose looked at an adorably forlorn Time Tot, who had gotten rather attached to a ginger dog with shaggy, curly fur. "I'm sorry, but I have to go now," she told him very seriously. "Mum and Daddy said I can't have a pet til I'm older, and I-I can't dis… disob… disobey them." There were tears in her eyes by this point, and the Doctor and Rose couldn't take it any more.

"So, what's his name?" the Doctor asked her, squatting down so that he was at her eye-level. He made sure to block his daughter's view of the cash register, where Rose was currently handing a credit stick to the elderly shop owner. She was also walking about, gathering things like food and water bowls, a large bag of kibble, and an assortment of toys and treats. The Doctor, though, was determined to keep Quin distracted from this movement.

"T-Tobias," she replied shakily, trying to hide the tears forming in her eyes. "S-See? He's a ginger, just like you always wanted to be."

"Thanks, love," the Doctor replied with a bit of offense. "That was very kind of you to remind me of that." It didn't help that he felt Rose's amusement through their bond. "Yes, yes, hardy-har-har." "Now, why are you so sad?" he asked tenderly as he wiped a stray tear from her cheek.

"I'm not," she mumbled, even though he could see the other tears gathering in her eyes.

"Done," he heard Rose say in his mind, and he quickly turned around to double-check. Satisfied, he pretended to study the noseless ginger dog and the face of his dejected daughter before sighing heavily and rubbing his hands over his face. "Oh, dear," he said with mock-long-suffering. "I suppose there's only one more thing to do." He wasn't able to stop his smile as Quin faced him with the cutest look of confusion. He booped her on the nose before concluding, "We'll have to get you the puppy, now won't we?"

Quin looked in surprised glee at her parents before launching herself at them in a hug for the third time that day. "Thank you," she whispered with happy tears thickening her voice. "Thank you both so much."

The Doctor and Rose helped her carry the bags of needed pet-raising supplies, and Quin set Toby up with his brand new blue collar and leash and happily walked him towards his new home. It was by far the best birthday she'd had so far, and she was very much looking forward to sharing her next birthday with their new family member. That night, instead of her old teddy bear, she had an Adipose plush and a noseless puppy clutched in her arms, her love for them both pouring out with every tiny snore.

AN: Hey, so... I don't actually... celebrate birthdays, so I'm not entirely sure if I have everything that happens at them. Random thought, I know, but ya. I'm not entirely sure... Anyway, thanks to all those that provided prompts, and if anyone else has any ideas/requests/demands, feel free to let me know. Random question for the populous: Who among you ships Whouffle? River/11? Amy/11? Essentially, who do you guys ship with the 11th Doctor? Cos for me it's 100% Whouffle.
