A/N: Before I start I just want to thank everyone who has read and enjoyed this story. Without you this would be just another unfinished story on my laptop. I love ya all.

"I, Rose Marion Tyler…"

"I, Rose Marion Tyler," she repeated.

"Do solemnly swear..."

Face scrunched up in an attempt not to laugh, Rose murmured, "Do solemnly swear…"

"To never, ever, wander off on my own, meanwhile causing the Doctor to grow many grey hairs and have several heart attacks from the stress of worrying about me."

It was at this point that Rose completely lost control and burst into a fit of giggles. "I promise to briefly think about what I'm doing before wandering off," she said between breaths.

"Wrong answer," the Doctor screamed as he pinned Rose beneath him and tickled her relentlessly. Rose managed to escape and ran, barefoot along the glorious pink sand towards the ocean. The Doctor followed her into the sea and together they splashed and played in the waves until the sun touched the edge of the horizon. Finally both collapsed in a wet sandy heap on their beach towels. Rose shivered against the cool evening air and pulled a light jacket over her red bikini while the Doctor wrapped a towel around his bare shoulders.

"Rose, I was being serious," the Doctor pleaded.

"You're right," she affirmed. "You were seriously trying to take all the fun out of life."

"I'm just trying to make sure you keep your life a little bit longer," he pouted.

"Okay, I'll be more careful. No more alien jewelry for me. Speaking of which…" Rose fiddled with her left hand for a moment, pulling off Mrs. Smith's wedding ring. "You'll be wanting this back."

The Doctor stared at the ring, completely stunned. He glanced down at his own hand to find Mr. Smith's ring still firmly in place. "Keep it," he said, secretly cringing at the squeak in his voice.

"Don't be silly Doctor," Rose laughed. "What am I going to do with this type of ring?"

"I dunno," the Doctor stammered. "You could…um…always wear it, you know that is what it's for." Oh this isn't going right, he mused.

Rose looked at him like he'd gone completely of his rocker. "I can't wear it," she insisted. "How will I find a nice bloke then? They'd all think I was married…to you probably." Apparently this was a hilarious concept because Rose threw her head back in laughter. The Doctor pretended to join in but inwardly thinking something along the lines of 'Well that's kinda the point'. When the giggles finally subsided, Rose said, "I'll just go fill up our drinks. Be back in a sec."

The Doctor nodded and watched her go, a mixture of hurt and confusion written all over his face. After making sure that Rose was completely out of sight, the Doctor reached for his coat and pulled a small velvet box out of the pocket. Reluctantly, he pulled the wedding band off his own finger and placed it and the one Rose had worn in the box next to a brilliant diamond engagement ring. Finally he sighed, shook his head and after closing the box he placed it carefully in a never-ending pocket of forgotten items.

A/N: I know it was short but it's only an epilogue after all. Yah! It's finally finished. To celebrate its completion I am going to go into a nice long rant. After writing that whole thing I deserve to put my words down for a few minutes. If you don't wanna read this, fine. Plz click the blue button on your way out. Thank you.

Now I have a number of questions for you.

1. What did you think of the ending? I did say you might want to chase me with a big stick. Hehe

2. What was your favorite part of my epic tale? Personally I liked the whole river sequence. Oh and the little row they had.

3. Overall, was it good? Bad? In between? Should I bother writing more stories?

4. Sequel? I'm not opposed to doing one it's just I don't really have one in mind. I don't think there is room for one. I tied up all the loose ends quite nicely. (Well except for that big one at the end.) What do you think? Is it better if I just leave it as is? Any and all ideas are welcome.

Plz, plz leave a nice long review, even if you have never left one before. I really want to know what you think. Oh and I promise to answer any and all questions.
