Rose paused outside of the convention hall. This was it. This was the moment. She took a deep breath and entered the imposing building. Immediately she was swept up in the chaos of the event, and it was a whirlwind of getting lanyards and signing up for events and looking for maps so that she almost didn't get a place at the Doctor's panel. She just barely made it through the doors, dragging Jack behind her. The only seats left were close to the back, so they wren't able to see or hear the panel very well. It was kind of boring at first, the routine questions that he had answered billions of times in previous videos.
"So Doctor, how did you decide to start vlogging?"
"He got a camera for his 12th birthday and couldn't put it down ever again" grumbled Rose.
"I got a camera for my 12th birthday and couldn't ever put it down ever again!" Said the Doctor.
"See? What'd I tell you? Gosh this this panelist is dull as bricks" Rose complained to Jack.
The panelist (Sara Jane something-or-other) seemed to notice the audience's disinterest, however. She turned to the Doctor with a bit of a smirk and said, "so Doctor"
"Sarah Jane" he replied quizzically
"You released a surprise video yesterday I hear," the audience cheered "care to explain to us a little bit of who this Rienette is?"
The Doctor opened and closed his mouth like a fish while the crowd screamed, not giving him a chance to speak. "Well she's, er, she's a very talented youtuber who I've had the pleasure to work with."
"I don't think that's quite the response they wanted," said Sarah Jane, smiling at the audience.
"Why, what did they want to hear?" Asked the Doctor, looking innocently at the sea of faces before him.
Sarah Jane laughed and moved on. "So! Any plans for upcoming projects?"
-oXo-
Rose walked back to the hotel with Jack frantically dissecting the day's events.
"Did you see how he looked all guilty when he answered the question about film work? I KNEW there was something he was hiding! He's definitely gonna be in a movie"
"I dunno, Rosie, I thought he was in school for history? Is he really gonna go into film?"
"PLEASE, Jack, you know his views on archeology! He-"
"Yeah BUT he always says how important understanding the past is! I really don't think he'd give it all up for film!"
Rose shrugged. "Whatever. In any case, there's definitely something going on with that Reinette woman and I don't like it. She looks snarky, so not OTP-worthy"
"NOTP: Doctorette - Rosie's new slogan!"
"You got it!"
Up ahead a group of people were clustered together, cheering someone who seemed to be in the middle. Rose approached curiously and saw, to her surprise, that the seemingly ubiquitous Doctor was standing in the middle with his video camera.
"I'm here at Geekcon" He was saying, "I just did my panel and I'm headed back to the hotel to go for a swim with Reinette. But first I wanted to give these lovely people" - He gestured to the crowd- "a chance to say hello!"
Rose pushed into the crowd and waved and cheered along with everyone else. The Doctor flicked off his camera and stashed it in a carry case, and Rose turned back to Jack.
"Whoa, he's even more attractive in person!" exclaimed Jack. "That hair!"
Rose smiled and nodded, ignoring the tight feeling in her stomach that blossomed when the Doctor had said "Reinette." Even though Rose knew it was completely ridiculous, the idea of Jack out of the blue getting an extra ticket to Geekcon, plus Rose running into the Doctor this morning had made her feel connected to him in some way. Reinette just seemed so... off. So not the kind of person a man like the Doctor would be with. But then again, Rose didn't even really know the Doctor.
