Prompt Word: Bow
Word Count: 165
Notes/Warning: Written for the sixth weekly drabble challenge.
A/N: I was rereading Make Me A Match (fantastic story, go and read it!) for the upteenth time and was reminded that the Doctor uses 'Noble' as his surname in his third incarnation. I've made use of that tidbit of information here.
It's actually his old-fashioned courtesy that she appreciates most. He holds doors open for her, waits until she sits down before he takes his seat, pours her drink before his own, and had absolutely won Wilf's heart by asking for the grandfather's permission to marry his precious granddaughter before he brought the subject up with Donna herself.
Now she watches as he finishes a conversation he's having with Sarah Jane Smith and glances around the room, the light flaring in his dark eyes as he meets her gaze telling her that she is the object of his search.
He crosses the room in a few strides and stops in front of her, giving a deep bow from the waist before he offers her his hand. "May I have this dance, Mrs Noble?"
She slides her fingers into his tender clasp with a smile. "Doctor Noble, of course you may!"
And she rests her head on her new husband's shoulder as they sweep across the floor.

I can't believe that, as big a fanboy as he is, DT didn't insist on some on-show reference to the name thing... We so could've had a moment like in "Make Me a Match," and it would've been brilliant!
(no subject)
Yes, I would have loved that, too! But maybe it was felt to be too obscure for most fans...

And I'm now having a crazy thought. What if 'Mr Donna Noble' was the name River whispered into the Doctor's ear and it was a Time Lord tradition for the man to take his wife's name...?

Ooh! Plot bunny growing! Darn you! So do you wanna write that? Or should I? Or... Do we want to make it a challenge between us - and anyone else who wants to tackle the idea?
(no subject)
*lol* I'm sorry! No, okay, I'm not really. ;-)
As for the plot bunny, you take it for now and I might do my own take on it later.
