[TM] 234 - U'Topeiuah
"Come on Rose! Things to be seen!"
She could hear him near the door, and really when wasn't there something to be seen she wondered as she milled her way around the console. Her fingers traced lightly against the varied buttons and dials for a moment before she made her way up the walkway to wait at the door.
This was his favorite part she figured. Just the way his eyes lit up with that eager anticipation. The big broad grin of his as his arms folded over his chest, rocking a bit on his heels.
The TARDIS had stopped moving twelve minutes ago. She knew because she'd been hurtled from her bed and glanced at the clock to see what time it was meant to be, since traveling through time she'd realized meant that time wasn't exactly going to matter much. Her jet lag was bordering on impossible, but she loved it all.
"Well? So where are we?"
"Utopia."
She knew the word, actually knew the concept of it too. That whole perfect society and all hearts and flowers like the world was perfect. But she'd seen the world kind of... well end. Earth death and all that, so Utopia seemed sort of like a pipe dream. In fact most people considered it that even if she was right now just a door opening away from it all.
"Utopia? Seriously? Right beyond the doors is like... the perfect society? No war, no fighting, just... well perfectness?"
There was a moment where his smile faded and the confusion settled upon his brow. This was one of her favorite parts, because she loved shutting him up for a bit. It wasn't even that he talked too much, or that she'd ever get sick of hearing him. It was that he always had the answer. Even if it was only 'I'm a Time Lord that's why.' Still those few moments were always enjoyable.
He shook his head finally the grin returning to his features that she couldn't help but return herself. Her tongue pressed between teeth along the side of her mouth, feeling the rough spaces between as she waited for him to come up with the perfect answer to her question.
"No.. that's A Utopia."
"An? Shouldn't it be an Utopia... the whole vowel thing?" Her eyebrow raised in question at him, and he narrowed his gaze at her not amused at her pointed method of trying to distract him from answering her first question.
"A Utopian society's pretty near impossible. There's a few. Out there. Can't visit them though. Mess up the balance. It's so sensitive just 'bout anything could set it off. No this! This Rose is U'Topeiuah. Land of Cupcakes."
"Did you say... I mean maybe I'm wrong but that sounds pretty much like Utopia to me."
He grinned even wider at her, and she was pretty sure her stomach rumbled in anticipation. Then his arms uncrossed and he opened the door. The smell that wafted in quickly was warm and sugary with a bit of cinnamon and a hint of lemon that made Rose's eyes shut as she inhaled deeply.
"Oh we're not leavin' here for a while."
"Figured as much!" The Doctor replied as his elbow bent aside him and offered it to Rose, "So... shall we?"
Rose grinned lacing her arm into his and inhaled once more letting that sweet scent flood her mind with the thoughts of whatever could possibly be waiting for her.
"Oh! Almost forgot! You can't eat any of it. I mean the smell? That's the people."
"The... people?" Rose's face fell at the thought, the mere torture that this would prove if she couldn't eat any of the wonderful things she was smelling. "You took me to the land of Cupcake PEOPLE?"
"Nah... just wanted to see what'd happen if I said that. Come on Rose, things to be smelled and eaten!"
She could hear him near the door, and really when wasn't there something to be seen she wondered as she milled her way around the console. Her fingers traced lightly against the varied buttons and dials for a moment before she made her way up the walkway to wait at the door.
