004--Cinderella. Sort of.

[Rose is wearing a ballgown, all done up, and looking sort of flustered.

And she's missing a shoe.]

Definitely easier to hide here than in the hedges. Someone always finds me when I'm--

[Cut off by her phone ringing, playing 'Brown Eyed Girl' as the ringtone]

....oh, no. It's Mum. [Presses the ignore button] She really needs to find a hobby that doesn't involve setting me up with every pretty boy she's introduced to.

'Setting up,' desu?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Trying to get me to go on a date with some bloke named Charlie, William, Alexander....there's a long list.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[makes a face] That's gross, desu!

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

That's why I'm hiding.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

That makes sense, desu! [hides with you!]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I like to think so. Hopefully she'll stop ringing me, though. [Presses the ignore button on her ringing phone again]

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Why not just turn it off, then?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[here's a highly amused Doctor] Never quite satisfied, is she?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I think she means well.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

So who is it this time?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

There are two, actually. One's name is Richard, and the other is John. They're just two random blokes that showed up at the dinner...thing even she's making me attend.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Like the party we worked?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Well, sorta. A bit bigger.

[contract_star]

She sounds like an interesting woman.

[A little embarrassed,]...You look beautiful, by the way.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's my Mum. Definitely interesting. Slightly insane, too.

[Smiles!] Thanks. Always nice to hear that.

[contract_star]

[Laughs.]

Did you just come from some kind of party?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my baby sister's birthday. My parents decided it had to be the biggest party London's seen for someone turning one yet.

[contract_star]

I see! They must be quite proud of you both.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

They are. They'll probably do the same for my birthday, too.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Do be quick; the clock is shortly to strike twelve.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Very clever.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Did you lose your other shoe in the escape?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

It's probably still somewhere in the gardens, yeah.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

When you return, you ought to retrieve it, lest Prince Charming use it as proof positive that you're meant to be.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I really doubt that anyone at that party can be considered Prince Charming.
