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.

[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?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[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?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

...'cause I hadn't thought of that. I would, but I should have it on, in case something important happens.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Like what, desu?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Work.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[have a blank look, Rose]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Sometimes there are emergencies at work, and they call me and want me to come right away.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Like the party we worked?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

[concerned] Isn't that dangerous, desu?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Can be. But it's fine, most of the time.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Well, sorta. A bit bigger.

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Oh, well...that's good, then, desu. N-not that I was worried or anything, of course!

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Have a smile!]

It's okay.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

What's this one for?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

The baby's birthday, actually. It's why I actually had to go to this one, instead of thinking of some way out of it.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Oh, is she one now?
