This is just plain adorable! I love the humor and the dialogue. You have the Doctor's character down pat, and Rose's internal voice is so funny.

Very nice!

Very lovely story. The Doctor's rambling, Rose's thoughts, the squinting vs having something in his eye...wonderfully written. I really, really like that it remained platonic despite the fact that he was carrying her off to bed. It takes a good author to write a scene like that and not have it come out sappy. And, too, the way Rose's thoughts began to work when she was falling asleep...oh man, I have so been there. Brilliant. And 'He's a toaster!' is one of the best conclusions anyone has ever come to about the Doctor.

My only complaint would be that the first chapter left off at a bit of an odd moment pacing-wise, but when one reads it as a whole fiction I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Definitely getting added to my C2, the Tin Dog.

Love it, love it, love it...

'He’s a toaster!'

*dies*

I loved that... Although my brain is still secretly demanding that he would make a very good toaster... I wouldn't mind wakling up on a monday if I had a toaster like that... Anyway.

Perfectly adorable and amazing. I love all the little side lines and the planet's plant prison... *resists urge to say three times*.

Your descriptions of the tea and of her falling slowly asleep are wonderful. I just love it.

oh, that's adorable. _ I love the little rambles you have him go on. It's like he doesn't really care if anybody's listening, he just wants to talk and run off at the mouth. Oh, he's rather fond of the jacket, is he? _ I notice the Kate and Leopold parallel, and I like how you made it your own. It wasn't sappy, and although I'm the LAST person to condemn sappiness, I like the way you did it better than if it were really fluffy, "I love you, Rose Tyler" as she falls asleep- you know, that sort of thing. Hmm, I'm better now, but I still want tea...

Very cute and very sweet

Oh, I love your description! I especially love how you describe Rose's perspective as she's falling asleep... where everything becomes silly, like swimming and the Doctor being a toaster. I also appreciate your ability to have two very distinct perspectives, where they sometimes are thinking along very different lines of thought.

Wonderful and rich to read, thanks so much!

*drools all over key board* Oh, honestly, did you HAVE to? I'm sick with a cold and I've been craving, what else but TEA for the past two days! Honestly, we should have tea time in America, and siestas, and Boxing day... (even though I have no idea what boxing day is) Very good description of the tea, and I like the humor you created with the Doctor nailing Rose in the head with a spatula (heehee_... that WAS funny) But you end your story really abruptly- try to let us off feeling like it's finished; maybe, have her go back to her room in daze of warm sleepiness, collapse on her bed, and immedietely go to sleep. Or, if you're a fan of Doctor/Rose ship (and/or Kate and Leopold- LOVE that movie_) have her fall half asleep at the table and the Doctor carry her back to her room. You kinda started out creating a platonic mood, so the former might be a little better. Or make up something else yourself- it's up to you. Hmm, tea... _

::snerk::

I haven't been able to stop snickering. My husband's looking at me like I'm insane. Again!

All this is to say that I'm enjoying this!

Interesting so far, not quite sure where its going yet! Great scene -can just imagine the way rose is just tiredly watched a far too awake doctor. Felt like that myself sometimes around 'morning people':). And the little details like the doctor having a wierd way of stirring the tea are great. Please update soon.

I have to say, you've got the Doctor's sense of humor down! It's amazing to me how you can make the simplest of things entertaining to read. I really feel like it's the Doctor and Rose, what with the Doctor going on about the strangest bits of information and his conversations leading in five directions at once,and Rose right back at him for his oddness. Thank for this bit, and I hope to read much more. I could read this stuff forever. D

umm...okay. Seemed like an odd place to end it, but I'll forgive you because it was so stinkin' funny that my eyes were watering. Keep up the great work!

i like the way you wrote this, i also like the fact that i didn't find a single spelling error. Although seeing as i myself do not know how to spell Jnagrian or Qha'safian (apparently neither does Rose) it is entirely possible you mispelled them. Although i suppose it would be difficult to mispell a word oneself invented. Rambling done, Kudos to you on your excellent writing and i do hope you continue. Because, the way this chapter ended I get the feeling there was a technological malfunction and this is not the chapter in all it's entirety, or you have yet to write more. The only hope i hold is that it is as enjoyable to read as this chapter was. Thank you for sharing.

I'd like to see where this is going. please continue. sounds like nice tea, too. i was wishing that i could have some while i was reading
