#Do you suppose the whole #’red-bicycle-when-you-were-twelve’ incident happened one night #when Rose was fast asleep #They’d just gotten back from aliens at 10 Downing Street and World War Three and Slitheen #and there had been a discussion at Rose’s flat before they left #an offhand comment made about that bicycle and how money had always been tight even around Christmas #and Rose had never really seemed terribly unhappy about not getting a present she’d asked for (which happened more often than Jackie want… #ed to admit) #but she’d been gutted about not getting that bicycle #And they came back to the TARDIS and Rose collapsed for a good night’s sleep #and the Doctor quietly set the coordinates on the TARDIS console and #while Rose was sleeping #he visited the famed bicycle factories on Velopittus and picked out the most perfect shade of crimson #and then set another coordinate #and crept inside the Tyler flat using Rose’s own house-key #and left the bicycle leaning up against the couch #He paused at Rose’s closed bedroom door #rested his hand against the plywood #and thought about the little girl on the other side #and how remarkable she would be #and how much he was going to need her #and how she was going to save him in so many ways #Then he quietly returned to his TARDIS and came to stand outside Rose’s closed bedroom door on his own ship #and rested his hand against the warm metal #thinking about the remarkable woman inside#and how he couldn’t imagine what would have become of him without her#Doctor Who #THe Doctor #Rose Tyler #OTP to end all OTPs(gallifreyburning)
THE DOCTOR IS TOTALLY SANTA… it all makes sense now.
