"Where would you like to go Samantha?" The Doctor asked.

"Somewhere beautiful," she responded.

He smiles, enters the coordinates and starts up the TARDIS. "Off we go!"

The Tardis shakes as it takes off. Samantha grabs the control panel and helps him drive. "It's easier when you have two drivers."

"True, it is." He smiles as the TARDIS lands.

"Where are we?" Samantha asks.

The Doctor opens the door and says, "Welcome to Gallifrey."

"It's beautiful," Samantha smiles and leans on the Doctor's shoulder.

He wraps his arm around her. " This is our home."

"I love it," She says, looking at the golden house on the hill.

"Now, let's explore shall we?"

"Alright."

They walk to the house and enter it. The inside is gold, adorned with Tardis blue decorations and a chandelier.

"I love it," Samantha says softly.

The Doctor kisses her and leads her to a room with a large blue bed and a walk in closet. "This is the bedroom," He announces, smirking slightly.

Samantha giggles, "Why are you smirking?"

"I'm smirking?" He looks at her, and smiles. "Well... I'm not sure why..."

"I think I know, We're in the bedroom after all."

"We are yes..." He moves closer to her.

"Do you want something?" She asks, giggling.

"I'm not sure. Do you want something."

"You. I want y-o-u," she says, poking him while emphasizing each letter.

He chuckles and takes her hand and kisses it. "And I want you too."

"Prove it."

"Hm...Maybe I will." He gently pushes her to the wall and kisses her lips.

She kisses back and plays with his shirt.

He pulls away and chuckles. He smiles down at her.

"Sorry, Am I being too forward?" She asked.

He shakes his head. "Not really..."

"Then why did you pull away?"

"No reason really." He smiles and kisses her nose.

"Good. Do you still want me then?"

"I've always wanted you."

She blushes, unsure if he was being serious.

He kisses her neck. "I'm being serious."

She hums happily. "Are you now?" she says facetiously.

"Yes. Yes I am." He chuckles, and tugs at her shirt.

She turns red and slowly takes it off.

"You're beautiful, you know that?" He asks, looking her over.

She tugs at his shirt and blushes. "No, but now I do."

"Are you serious?" He frowns slightly.

"Yes, I am," She admits, tugging at his shirt again.

"Hm..." He takes off his shirt and look at her. "Well, you are."

"Thank you Doctor," She says blushing.

He slams her onto the bed and kisses her.

The Next morning....

Samantha wakes up and reaches over to massage the Doctor's chest. "Good morning."

He opens one eye and looks and mumbles a good morning.

"Tired from last night dear?" She asks, smirking.

He opens his other eye and nods. "Yes, but it was a good night."

"Yes, yes it was, probably not your first rodeo though," she says, sighing.

"Oh come on Samantha... You know I love you. Don't make this morning all sad..."

"Sorry, I just..." She gets out of bed, puts on a robe and walks off to the bathroom without finishing her sentence.

"Sam..." He gets out and grabs a robe, and runs after her as he puts it on.

She looks at him. "There's something about me you don't know Doctor."

He frowns and looks at her. "Oh?"

"In case you didn't notice the scars on my body ... I cut myself."

"I noticed them, but it wasn't the time to ask you."

"Well, I did it because I was lonely, I hated myself, now I want to do it, because I have the feeling I am not the first one you have loved. I don't know if you'll be faithful to the end."

"Sam..." He takes her hand. "I loved the other's yes, but I don't love them as I love you. You are the right one and I'll love you forever. I love you Samantha."

"I love you too Doctor, but we should have gotten married or gotten to know each other first.. What if we ruined our chances?"

"What do you mean? We'll never ruin our chances."

"We won't?" She asks, looking at him.

"No. Why do you think that?"

"I'm just scared you'll change your mind. And what if you regenerate and forget me?"

"I won't forget you. I never forget the people I care about. Never. And I'll never forget you."

She hugs him and smiles.
