[RM] 1.78.1 - Strangers in the Night
She couldn't help but smile watching him race around the console turning dials and pulling on levers as if she hadn't seen him do it a thousand times before. All the while chattering on and on about where they were headed off to this time. After the last trip he promised Rose something a bit more classy, and it wasn't going to be a hard task considering the last place they were Rose ended up in a bog. Five showers later and she finally thought she'd gotten the smell out of her hair, but her nose still had a bit of sense memory to it.
"So how classy are we talkin' here? I mean I'm not going to have to go change right?"
The Doctor looked up from spinning one of the wheels the wrinkles in his forehead increasing as he nodded, "You better."
"You gonna at least tell me where we're going? I mean if I'm changing I should at least have some idea of the place yeah?" Rose pressed her tongue against the back of her teeth as she waited for his reply. He was watching something on a screen on the other side and she was pretty sure he hadn't heard her. "So I'll just go put on something... classy... and hope we don't end up in some barn for a hog calling contest an' me in heels and a gown." Her voice trailed off toward the end there but he was still all gears focused on the TARDIS and all the twists and turns he had to do just to get it exactly right.
The precision he was going to actually showed her that at least they wouldn't end up in the wrong place this time, or the wrong time either. Moving down the halls and around the bends toward the dressing room Rose tried to think of where they'd be off to. But her mind knew that whatever she thought up the Doctor would be going beyond expectations anyway.
She was pinning her hair up when the TARDIS came to an abrupt halt. "We're there yeah?" She called out already hearing the Doctor starting to chatter on about all the wonderful things they were going to do, "I can't actually hear you... not that it matters."
Rose wasn't much for getting dressed up but when she did the one thing she fancied was the sound of the heels clicking against the floors, and as she stood at the top of the stairs to rejoin the Doctor all she needed to see was that smile of approval from him. It was such a modest smile too, more a look of impressed than anything else.
"Now I'll have you know, it better not be a bog on the other side of that door now," she replied as her hand took hold of the side so she could move down the stairs and join the Doctor.
"Bog free, I promise. Rose, it's February twenty-fifth of the year nineteen ninety-five and you are about to witness the final performance in front of a select audience of Mr. Frank Sinatra."
Rose could tell he was excited about it, because the way his voice lilted up at the end there, and Rose was thrilled as well, "Serious? Frank Sinatra's final performance? Oh this is going to be fantastic! Think he'll sing Strangers in the Night," Rose tipped her head aside the few tendrils of hair she hadn't managed to pull up atop her head brushing against bare shoulders, as she smiled up at the Doctor, "Oh, I'd love to hear 'I'll Never Smile Again' or 'The Best is Yet to Come'."
"Why Rose Tyler, are you a Sinatra Fan?"
She couldn't help but smile, "Mum kept all of Dad's records from before... I used to listen to them for hours as a kid." Turning to face him just before he went to open the door Rose smiled, "We'll dance yeah? One dance to one song?" That was all she really needed, was one dance to one song, and she'd probably be floating on air.
"Of course," The Doctor replied as his hand pressed against the door of the TARDIS revealing the gorgeous setting at the Frank Sinatra Desert Classic golf tournament that had been held earlier in the evening. Rose linked her arm with The Doctor's and they made their way into the crowd to find their seats, and have their dance.
