Presenting number two in the record room collection. More upbeat than Wind Beneath my Wings. I have the finale planned, but there will be at least two before that. Now let's get this show on the road.

"Oh this place is such a mess!" Sarah Jane groaned. She had decided to try and tidy the record room, in a vain attempt to find her Beatles album, but had completely given up hope when she saw the innumerable record in the room. Still, she enjoyed all the music. The 1980's and to a lesser extent 90's were particularly good.
After half an hour, a surprisingly short time, she found her Beatles album, lurking under a Madonna record from 2000.
After a quick decision, and realisation that there was nothing that she needed to do now, Sarah decided to listen to the record, Beautiful Stranger. She liked Madonna, and was a little disappointed that it was a good few years before Madonna was available on earth.
Sarah switched on the record player, and couldn't believe her ears. The song was a perfect summarisation of how she felt about the Doctor.
Haven't we met?
You're some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I've had the taste for danger
Too right, though Sarah, stuffing some more albums back onto the shelves. She did love danger, and adventure, always had done.
If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Heaven forbid
I'll take my chance on a beautiful stranger
I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song
She had taken her chance on him. Followed him into the TARDIS and her life was never the same again. Looked him in the eye and saw ghosts of past, present and future.
"How accurate are you able to get?" she whispered, not wanting to disturb the music.
To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
To love you is to be part of you
I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da-da dum
Beautiful Stranger
"Blast you Doctor!" Sarah swore softly. She was enjoying the song, but was quite sad now. It had only made her realise how much she loved the Doctor. He definately would not feel the same about her. He probably only said that he cared about her to cheer her up after her breakdown.
And the song was accurate. She had taken chances on him. She had cried quite a bit during her travelling time. She had abandoned her pride, albeit occasionally, on a life of adventure.
If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Haven't you heard
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I'd like to change my point of view
If I could just forget about you
To know you is to love you
And everywhere I go
And everybody knows
To love you is to be part of you
I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger.
"Wow!" whispered Sarah. She looked at the front of the album cover. Was that song written just for her?
She loved the Doctor. She had tried to ignore it. And failed miserably. She had tried to force herself not to. And failed miserably.
Did the Doctor feel the same about her? She doubted it.
And yet...
"Well, time will tell," Sarah decided, as if in conversation with herself. She swung her dark hair over her shoulder, and left the record room.

Well isn't it bizarre when you find a song that seems like it was written for a songfic? That's what this is.
Number three coming as soon as I think of a song for it.
