Panic! In The TARDIS 5/?
Doctor!Brendon and Companion!Spencer
These don't follow a linear time line (much like Doctor Who) and my characterisation veers wildly off the edge of believability verges on exaggerated, so it's basically all pretty silly and for the enjoyment of myself and my friend Chug
So, yeah, there ya go
Always:
Music, oddly enough, was a rare thing to hear on the TARDIS.
Yes, the Doctor would occasionally sing while he was working or play the piano (while wearing a Phantom of the Opera mask), and Spencer hums and plays about with a tambourine from time to time, but proper music was rare.
So when Spencer hears a guitar being carefully tuned, a voice making noises along with it, he can't help but follow it. He sort of hopes it leads to the elusive karaoke bar and he could play about in there, but the further he goes to follow the noise the more he beings to think that this is going to be like Ryan's room and he'll regret doing this.
But then again it could be the karaoke bar.
He's trying to pin down the exact room location when whoever is making noise actually starts playing the guitar. He follows it and discovers a half open door. He peeks in and, nope, it's not the karaoke bar.
The Doctor's sitting on a padded seat in the middle of the small room. He was strumming the guitar with his eyes closed and Spencer lets his eyes wander quickly around the room.
All the walls are covered in pictures. Some brand new and some exceptionally old. There was a blonde girl with big eyes and too much mascara on. A man in a kilt who smiled at the camera, hand frozen mid wave. A young brunette with a bob, and in the corner of her frame is another picture, obviously taken years later, age lines across her face. A red head who's making an epic bitch face at the camera. A baby faced boy with a hot pink stripe across his eyes and black birds flying across his cheek.
And one of Spencer.
With a pang he realises that they're all the Doctor's companions.
And then the Doctor starts singing, eyes still closed.
"When the world gets too heavy
Put it on my back
I'll be your levy
You are taking me apart
Like bad glue
On a 'Get Well' card
It was always you
Falling for me
Now there's always time
Calling for me
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know"
Spencer leant against the door frame quietly. He'd never heard this song before, not ever. It kind of hurt his heart to realise that the Doctor probably wrote it himself.
And he wrote it for the people in the picture frames. Singing it to their images because he could never sing it to them.
"I'm a fly that's trapped
In a web
But I'm thinking that
My spider's dead
Lonely, lonely little life
I could kid myself in thinking that I'm fine
It was always you
Falling for me
Now there's always time
Calling for me
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know
That I'm skin and bone
Just a cane and a rusty throne
Oh, the castle's under siege
But the sign outside says 'Leave Me Alone'
It was always you
Falling for me
Now there's always time
Calling for me
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know
Blink back to let me know"
When the Doctor finished he sighed and rubbed his eyes. He folded his arms over his guitar and pillowed his head on his arms.
Spencer snuck away quietly, the absolute heartbreak and hope in the song made his heart hurt.
He really hoped the Doctor didn't feel like that all the time.
