The Stars Shine For Us (Doctor who fanfiction)

Chapter 2

Maddie Thorn jumped on Rose the moment she stepped through the door. Her long, brunette hair flying out behind her.

Rose and her had quite a history.

They had met when Rose arrived on the parallel earth. Rose had gone to torchwood for a job and got the job. On her first day there she met Maddie. She got into the office and sitting there was a girl with gorgeous hair and eyes that twinkled like stars. She was wearing tight fitting jeans and a t-shirt with a gold clasp to keep her flowing locks out of her eyes.

She saw rose and stood up, looking sheepish. “Sorry Miss Tyler” she blushed “I didn’t….” but trailed off her sentence when she saw the look on Rose’s face. They both burst into laughter and from then on became the best of friends.

Two year ago, Maddie had gone on a trip to America and never come back. She said she was working out there and wouldn’t make it back in time for the wedding when rose asked her to be bridesmaid. They hadn’t spoken since but Rose got her measurements and got a dress for her, just in case.

She new it was wishful thinking but she wanted her friend to come back and maybe, deep down she knew that her friend wouldn’t miss it. Even if it meant moving universes to be with her. Little did she know that not one, but two friends would go to such measures as to be with her on her special day.

One hour later, makeup had been applied, hair had been done and dresses had been filled.

Rose gasped when she saw her reflection in the mirror. Her Long brunette hair had been put into a simple bun at the back of her head and had a French plait circling her head like a halo. In the plait, small, pale pink roses had been put in and it looked like a crown of roses.

Next her eyes moved to her face. She had a naturally pale completion and her makeup suited it perfectly. It used black and grey to create a Smokey eye effect that she pulled off with ease. Her lips where a shade of pale pink that matched the roses perfectly and had gloss over the top so they looked lovely.

Lastly her eyes moved to her dress.

It was amazing.

It was a floor length, pure white gown. The skirt was plain with a 1.5 metre train and small crystals coming from the bottom up fading out. They twinkled in the sunlight like stars. She moved her eyes up to the bodice. It was a corset type thing that felt strangely comfortable. It was strapless and on one shoulder it had crystals on her skin that too sparkled like stars.

Her veil was long white piece of sheer fabric. At the end it trailed out longer than her dress and had a slight sparkle to it. It had been threaded with sliver thread and she felt beautiful.

She turned around when she heard a soft footfall behind and found Maddie. Well, she thought it was Maddie!

Her hair had too been done in a bun , but with a French plait criss-crossing the back of her head. Little roses had also been placed into the plaits. She had less makeup on, but still looked beautiful. Her dress was a pale pink colour and was floor length. Unlike roses it was a fairly slim fitting dress and had no crystals round the edge. She was still beautiful, all the same.

Maddie saw roses face and smiled. “Thank you, it’s lovely, and you look like a goddess.” Rose blushed and Maddie chuckled and grabbed her hand before saying. “Lets go and see what your parents think!”

When Rose and Maddie reached the living room it was silent. Her mum turned around and her chair and stood up. Her dad did the same and they both stared at her. After a few moments of silence her mum made the first noise. “You look gorgeous….” she managed to whisper before blurting into happy tears. Her dad took her mum by the hand and said,

“Lets go, your groom is waiting” before smiling and leading her mum out the door.

Rose smiled at Maddie and they walked out the room, excited for what was going to come.
