"Alright, my turn," I start as I walk around the TARDIS. "Anywhere on planet Earth, any human thing to do... Where do we go?" I ask, imitating the Doctor. He looks at me with a smile.


"I don't-" he starts but I cut him off.


"We could go to a theme park... A place with roller coasters and rides... Maybe a movie. Is there any movies out?.." I trail off.


"Rollercoasters?" He questions with a smile.


"I've never really been on a roller coaster without crying... Why did I bring that up?" I ask, almost asking myself. I look around, waiting for his answer.


"Oh yes. Let's go to a park with roller coasters," he adds. I send a smile his way before walking up to the console. I flip a few switches before we are off. The TARDIS shakes and the Doctor looks my way.


"I'm not used to people-" he starts but gets cut off as he falls to the ground.


"Not used to this, huh?" I ask but he doesn't say anything. We soon land and I look over to him, leaning against the console. He gets ready to walk out the door, but I stop him. "Wait! Come here," I yell. He stops before looking my way. I quickly walk up to him. I subtly open his coat. He looks down at me, very confused. I reach in and feel around in a coat pocket before grabbing out a few things. I look down at what I have.


"Okay, here's your psychic paper... A pencil?" I ask but he doesn't answer. "Ooh, your glasses." I reach up towards his head. I step on my tiptoes in order to place them on his head. "You look... Very attractive in those glasses. Keep them on, for now...Great, I just needed my sonic screwdriver."


"I fixed it," he says, still with his jaw dropped. I smile and nod.


"I see, thank you."

"Okay, so... The first one I want to go on is the one that goes upside down..." I say, quite unsure. Hopefully, if I go on a scarier ride first, it'll break my fear... He follows me as we walk into the park. He doesn't say a word until we get up to the line.


"Oh, yes. I'm started to get excited," he says. I look away, starting to nervous.


"Do we have to go on this one, actually? I don't know-" I start but he cuts me off.


"Yes!" He cheers. Then, it's our time to go on the ride. I shudder in fear. I walk up to the coaster, ready to sit right in the middle. "Let's sit in the front."


"Do we have to? I don't want to go on a ride," I mutter.



"We can sit in the middle."

I nod before getting on the ride with him. We sit there waiting for it to start. Then I hear, "3...2...1."


We take off. The coaster starts, and I hold my breath. I wrap my hands around his arm with my eyes closed. I feel him look down on me. I open one eye and peek up at him just as we reach the top of a big hill.


"How about we go to a movie after this?" He asks me.


"Sure, let's. I don't like roller coasters at all," I state.

"This movie looks good... It's about a quadriplegic man and his caretaker," I inform the Doctor.


"Oh," is all he says. We get our popcorn and walk into the theater. I almost trip on the steps as I walk up, but he gets a grip on my arm. I send him a 'thank you' nod. We walk up into the middle row, ready to watch the movie. I glance at him maybe three times during the previews. I finally manage to say something.


"You've kept your glasses on this whole time," I notice.


"Yes, you said you liked them."


"No, I said I like them on you," I correct as the lights go down. "Why haven't you taken them off?"


"Because... I look attractive in them," he smiles before the movie starts.


***

At the end of the movie, the lights turn up. I take my head of the Doctor's moist shoulder.


"That's so sad," I cry out. He stands up before his face goes into complete shock seeing my face. I rub under my eyes, scrubbing mascara off. He looks away quickly, hoping I don't notice the look on his face. "Oh, shut up."

***

We walk out of the movie theater and out to the TARDIS. I get in, followed by the Doctor. He doesn't say anything as I wipe the rest of my tears out of my eyes. "I had fun today," I mumble with a smile. He looks my way, sending me a smile. I turn around. "Alright, am I going home?"


"Only if you want to," he replies.


"No, I don't. I want to stay here with you."


"I can get you a bedroom."


"Can I sleep with you?" I ask causing a long pause that is full of silence.


"Yes, well... Yes," he says with a peculiar look on his face. I smile before walking off, leaving him confused again. "I don't mind," I hear him whisper to himself. I smile again before turning into the dressing room.
