'Dates', as it turned out, were much harder than they seemed. It was strange, because they'd always come natural to the Doctor and Rose. Or so he had thought. Apparently, dates did not involve face stealing aliens or empathic child-like jelly fish creatures or beasts that thought they were Satan.

And so it was time to try a real date. The Doctor had put on a purple tie for it even, because that was fancy and met Rose at the spot they'd chosen. He'd considered getting her flowers but decided to forgo them in favour of a few still fresh scones and some jelly babies.

"Hullo, Rose!" He gave a cheerful wave, then rubbed at his neck. Same something about her clothes! said a voice. And like a good sane person, he listened. "Your clothes still look nice."

Rose looked down and her clothes, and tugged a wrinkle out of her dress. "You think so?" She grinned at him. "Thanks. Nice tie."

Noticing that he was a bit awkward, and thinking that he probably didn't do this too often, she couldn't hold back a little laugh as she walked up, and linked arms with him. "So. Where to, then, Doctor?"

The arm linking was comforting, bringing the Doctor back to familiar ground. "Right then! I was thinking a lovely little secluded beach on the other side of the island."

Already he was leading her off for it. "There's something rather special tonight."

"There is?" Rose grinned at him. "Are you gonna tell me what it is, or keep it a secret?"

She stopped briefly in her tracks. "No invasions, right?"
