'Sugar pie, honey bunch…'
The girl looked like a fairy as she danced aimlessly down the lane, flitting through shadows and moonlight. A fairy, or a ghost.
'You know that I love you…'
Her hair was matted and tangled with leaves and twigs, and her bare feet were black with mud. Her arms and legs were covered in scratches, but she didn't seem to notice or care as she sang under her breath.
'I can't help myself…'
She drifted toward a row of houses, avoiding the pool of light cast by the streetlamp without conscious thought.
'I need you…'
She paused, attention caught by an argument at one of the houses.
'Jack, go away! You're freaking me out!'
'Lauren, please! I need you!'
The girl's lips stretched into a smile. In the moonlight, her eyes seemed to glow with a pale rose light. The colour should have been warm and friendly. It wasn't.
'You need to home and sleep it off!'
'Lauren, let me in! I can't live without you!'
'I don't know what you drank, smoked, shot, or snorted, but I'm not letting you in until you're back to normal! GO HOME!'
The porch light winked out, leaving the young man in darkness. He sagged against the door and buried his face in his hands, whimpering quietly.
The girl started forward again, focused on the man on the step.
'Sugar pie, honey bunch…'
Jack's head came up, meeting the eyes of the ghost fairy.
'You know that I'll wait for you…'
He grinned at her, getting to his feet as she glided closer.
'I can't help myself…'
He started towards her, his own eyes glowing as he joined her song.
'I love you, and nobody else…'
They halted in front of each other, pink sparkles running down their cheeks like tears. Without a word their lips met, arms coming up in a tight embrace. The glow strengthened and engulfed both of them, brightening and swelling like a bubble until it burst with an inaudible pop.
In the empty lane, pink glitter shimmered in the moonlight.
Imagine I Got No Strings from the Age of Ultron trailer, and you'll have a pretty good idea of how Sugar Pie Honey Bunch should sound. Doctor Who: making fluffy innocent things the stuff of nightmares since 1963.
