"What are they?" Rose wondered out loud as the orbs of light bounced from one of her hands to the other. It reminded her of juggling, except it seemed impossible to lose.
She watched as the Doctor seemed to touch an orb with his index finger and lifted it into the sky. They were like oversized fireflies and they made the heavens dance with their light.
Rose watched as it disappeared into the dark. The air was bitter and it made her bones ache. She hugged herself around her middle and looked to the Doctor. A smile found its way to her lips as she saw him look up, mouth open to the shimmering sky.
Then, all of a sudden, the sky went pitch black. Rose gave out a yelp - it was as if someone had gone and turned off all the lights, leaving her to find her way only with the touch of her hands.
The Doctor found her first as he grabbed her hand with his own. He intertwined their fingers and the panic she was feeling dissolved. Rose closed the distance between them and she could smell the leather under her nose. Despite the darkness, she closed her eyes and let the smell waft around her, enclosing her like an embrace.
"Rose?" he whispered, "You all right?"
She felt a blush blossom on her cheeks regardless of the dark, "Yea' I'm fine." Her voice sounded so small in the dense night.
And then suddenly, a single tiny spark of an orb floated down from the sky. It was so small, but its light shined so brightly.
"So much light," she said in awe, "but it's so small, how is that possible."
It wasn't exactly a question, but the Doctor answered it anyway, watching her as she gazed at the wonder above them.
"It only takes a spark to light up the dark."
And together they watched as the light grew stronger, taking away the night.
