This is just a little idea that popped into my head after watching a Doctor Who Confidential. They always have the right music on in the background, and I suddenly thought that 'I Am The One And Only' would really work for the Doctor, too. So I wrote this. :D Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who. This makes me depressed. I do not own I Am The One And Only either. Chesney Hawks does. Sigh.


The One And Only

"Aaargh!"

The Doctor threw the spanner across the TARDIS, fuming. He had been using it to adjust the matter transporter that had come loose on the TARDIS console, but for some reason it wasn't working. He knew the TARDIS rejected anyone else trying to repair it, but him! Never before, that was certain! He sat down with a heavy thump, and waited for Amy to come running in, asking him what was wrong. Then he remembered that she had left for the weekend to see Rory, and he groaned. Now he didn't have anyone to take his anger out on.

Standing up, he walked out of the control room and into his bedroom. He sat down on the bed, and folded his arms, huffing. To be honest, he'd been worried about the TARDIS for a while now. He had a feeling it didn't want him to push his luck with anything, and he had a good idea why.

TARDISs looked after their Time Lord inhabitants. That was a fact. And the Doctor was now 905 years old, and not getting any younger. With only two incarnations left in him, he knew the TARDIS was desperate for him to keep going a bit more safely, and it was winding him up. He completely lost it sometimes, yelling and throwing things at the console. But other times he would look at himself in the mirror, and realise that although he looked young and healthy, he felt older. Less – less sprightly than he had in the old days.

Sighing, he reached over to the clapped out radio on his bedside table, and tuned it in to BBC Radio 2. He'd always liked Earth music, and he needed cheering up.

'I AM THE ONE AND ONLY! NOBODY I'D RATHER BE! I AM THE ONE AND ONLY! YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME!'

He smiled. Good old Chesney Hawks! He'd always liked him, saved his life a couple of times in fact, and he couldn't help but grin at the brilliant lyrics coming out of the machine.

'NO ONE CAN BE MYSELF LIKE I CAN, FOR THIS JOB I'M THE BEST MAN, AND WHILE THIS MAY BE TRUE, YOU ARE THE ONE AND ONLY YOU!"

The Doctor blinked. The lyrics seemed to be talking to him. He'd heard the song a million times before, but he'd never really paid attention to the words. Strange.

Looking down, the Doctor saw with mild surprise that his feet were tapping. They were right. He shouldn't be sat here feeling sorry for himself, he had the whole universe to explore!

"I AM THE ONE AND ONLY! NOBODY I'D RATHER BE!"

The Doctor was even more surprised to find himself on his feet, dancing. Still, he supposed he deserved a bit of fun. He laughed, and started singing along.

"I AM THE ONE AND ONLY! YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME!"

He continued to sing along and laugh, unable to stop himself beaming. The song's end came too soon, but he finished off with a leap into the air and strumming his air guitar. He closed his eyes, and grinned.

"Er, Doctor?"

He looked up to see Amy and Rory looking at him with bemused expressions, standing in his doorway. He could tell he had some explaining to do.

But he didn't care.

He was the one and only, and nobody could take that away from him.
