Disclaimer: Sarah Jane adventures and it's characters don't belong to me, they belong to whoever they rightfully belong to.
Sarah Jane heaved a huge box into her front room and in front of the sofa. Sitting down, she opened it. Piled in it were various items she got from her travels, some alien and some human. She had found in it a hallway cupboard when she decided to clean out the house.
Slowly taking them out, she froze when she saw a large black CD, the old type she got from alien planet where she visited. Her and the doctor had got captured and she was forced to sing her way out, as a prize they gave her the CD with the music, after they had gone, the doctor swore never to go 100 miles near that planet again, something that remained true, if he did land on it again after she left, she did not know.
She remembered why she had chosen that song; back on the planet she had flipped though lots of songs, but this one, made in the future at the time, reminded her of someone who she could never forget, but someone who could never remember her.
Slowly she got up and went over to a record player by the window, it was old and was given to her by her Aunt Lavinia when she died.
Sitting back down she waited a few seconds before music blared into life; she looked out of the window at the house opposite and starting singing.
Say my name
So I will know you're back
You're here again
For a while
Oh let us share
The memories that only we can share
Together
She was 8 years old, a little boy came in, holding his mothers hand. As soon as he saw her he let go and walked right over to her. His mother then sat on the sofa next to her Aunt and starting chatting to her.
"Hello." The little boy said to her.
"Hello," she replied, "What's your name?"
"Ala." She could tell he had difficultly pronouncing his name.
His mother smiled, "It's Alan, dear, but he prefers Ala, because that's how he pronounces it."
"Nice to meet you Ala," she said to Alan, "I'm Sarah Jane."
"Sara Ja." Sarah Jane just smiled.
"Do you want to play with my train set?" she asked him, he nodded happily and they ran off.
Tell me about
The days before I was born
How we were as children
Alan came running though the door again, running over to Sarah Jane, he hugged her, she laughed as she hugged him back.
You touch my hand
These colours come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to
Be with you again
We breathe the air
Do you remember how you
Used to touch my hand
This time, Sarah Jane was around Alan's, they went into his back yard and took a deep breath as they felt the cool breeze on their faces, Alan then grabbed her hand as she both span around on the grass.
You're not aware
Your hands keep still
You just don't know that I am here
It hurts too much
I pray now that soon
You're released
To where you belong
You touch my hand
These colours come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to
Be with you again
Sarah Jane was sitting on the floor opposite Alan, they had been friends for a year, Sarah Jane was now 9 and Alan was 3, both were crying.
"Why are you moving?" wept Sarah Jane to him.
"I don't know," Alan replied, "But I have to go too."
"I will never forget you."
"Neither will I," Alan replied.
"I'm going to miss you."
"Me too," Alan replied, "Close your eyes, I got a surprise for you."
Sarah Jane did as she was told, closing her eyes, she heard Alan stand up and walk nearer to her. A second later she felt a soft kiss on her lips, she responded for a small second before separating. A second later his mum came in.
"Come on Alan, honey," she said to her son before looking at Sarah Jane, "goodbye Sarah Jane, dear."
"Goodbye, Mrs Jackson." She replied.
Following them outside to a car, Alan hugged Sarah Jane one last time before getting loaded in the back sit, driving off for the very last time, both of them waved to each other, tears still streaming down their faces.
Please say my name
Remember who I am
You will find me in the
World of yesterday
You drift away again
Too far from where I am
When you asked me who I am
Over time she realised that though she could never forget Alan, but he could, because he was simply too young to remember her when he grew up. When he came to Bannerman Road, she was devastated when she had to introduce herself to him and was almost relived when he said that Maria and Kelsey had gone to the bubble pop factory so she could chase after them
Say my name
These colours come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to
Be with you again.
She sighed as she watched Alan park his car and go into his house.
Say my name
"Ala." She whispered and only wished she could hear him say 'Sara Ja' back.
