Fill- Challenge 521 (DW/BFA)

 (So the last time I posted anything about my fic for Latinist, [personal profile] shivver gave an idea about the Doctor and Charley eating a dessert and that meaning they were married now.  So my brain has latched on to that and...)

(I set a timer to do exactly 10 minutes. Let's go!) 


The Doctor and Charley are in the TARDIS. Charley is trying on an outfit from the wardrobe for a party, which the Doctor has had an invitation for buried somewhere for at least a couple centuries.  Charley thinks it sounds thrilling.

They land. The party begins, and later dessert is served.  The Doctor and Charley  eat a particular dessert, which the natives of this planet treat as a sacred thing- and it's only eaten when one is proposing marriage to someone. 

Both the Doctor and Charley are whisked off to start making wedding plans, including Charley getting several lady's maids to dress her (think Donna in Death and the Queen) 

It is now a couple of days later.  The wedding is about to begin, and the Doctor has questions. He reads an Ancient scroll, and finds a loophole the natives had translated wrong, The color green is considered a bad omen to them, and since he happens to still be wearing green, the wedding is off. 

Back in the TARDIS,   the Doctor is setting co-ordinates for their next destination and Charley mentions how relieved she is that's over and that she is glad he found a loophole . Although, later that night,  when she is in bed trying to get to sleep,  she keeps thinking about it and is actually a little disappointed she isn't marrying the Doctor.
