Celestia loved Rose, she really did. She felt as though Rose was a friend and sister all wrapped up into one person. She thought that the younger blonde was fresh, out of the box and different from any other person she had met (well she was different from other humans that Celestia knew). There was just one thing that Celestia did not like about Rose and that was her choice of men. Well, not all of the men that she dated/like were that terrible; though she did make the Doctor promise her that they would do a something to Jimmy Stone for what he did to Rose. Adam was the newest of the men that caught Rose's eyes and Celestia did not know how she felt about him; there was something about him that gave her the ick. Perhaps it was the fact that once he was told about her ability, he was quick to move away from her and prohibited her from reading his stars, which made her very suspicious of him. She knew it was a bit hypocritical of her to think that, especially since the Doctor rejected her from reading his stars when they first met but she just couldn't shake off the bad feeling she got from him.

She thought maybe it was because she did not know where Rose and Mickey stood in their relationship. Whenever she tried to ask Rose about Mickey and her, she was quick to change the subject, like she didn't know the answer herself. Celestia had started to like Mickey as a friend, though sometimes his comments really made her want to bump him over the head, but he has been handy in some of the adventures and is not as scared of her powers as he was in the beginning. She even made an effort to text and call him to update him on Rose, which honestly has made her uncomfortable at moments when he tells her that Rose has been ignoring his calls and messages.

She had told the Doctor about her doubts about Adam, but both agreed that he did make Rose smile and that was enough for them to push their feelings about him deep down; though Celestia knew that the Tardis had been making an effort to make Adam uncomfortable and scared of her, which made her so gleefully and grateful to the ship.

"Now what are you doing all alone?" the Doctor's voice called out from below her. Celestia peered down the railing of the second floor of the library to see the Doctor looking up at her. She gave him a big smile before responding, "Just doing some research." she answered before setting down a book that she had found. She silently asked the Tardis to send the book that she did not get to finish to her room as she went down the stairs to greet the Doctor. She maintained her smile as she stood in front of him, hoping that he didn't notice anything suspicious or weird with her behavior.

"Anything I can help you with?" he asked her, giving her a smile as well.

Celestia shook her head. "Nope!" she popped. Before he could ask any questions, she was quick to latch onto his arm and pull him away from the area that she was researching in; leaving behind the multiple books and papers that were written in Stala. "Did you need me for something?" she asked him, as they left the library, letting go of his arm.

The Doctor shook his head. "Rose and Adam went to bed for a quick nap so I just thought that we could spend some time together." he told her, their hands brushing against each other's. 

Celestia beamed at him. "What do you want to do?" she asked excitedly.

"How about a picnic?" the Doctor asked as they walked into the console room, where a picnic basket was waiting for them. Celestia quickly agreed and was quick to run into her room to change. After scanning her wardrobe, she finally decided on a simple pink dress with nude flats for the occasion.
