Ok, I need to explain something here. The video I did with this song is The Eighth Doctor and Grace. However as I prepared to write this story, my Muse dropped an idea into my mind, She is devious that way. This will deal with the Fourth Doctor reflecting on something he hates to think about, death. Specifically, the loss of Sarah Jane Smith. I know, a lot of tribute stories have already been written, even I have one on this site and this kinda follows that story called "Everything Ends". I just hope you like what I did here. Thanks!

The Cafe of the Third Eye

To Where You Are

by

Sabrina Lonewalker

The blue police call box was, by now, a familiar sight to those who frequented the Cafe of the Third Eye. The ones who worked there knew the owner of the call box. He was a regular visitor to the place. Now, he was here and he was grieving. He had shown up just as the place opened and was sitting at his usual table in the back corner.

The fedora was low over his eyes like he didn't want anyone to see them. He didn't, they were red, puffy and still filled with tears. He had not thought he would ever feel like this but then, he hadn't expected Sarah Jane to die so soon either. It was too soon for her, that pert, hard nosed investigative journalist. She still had life to live but that damned disease had taken her away from him and all she loved.

He had been there with her, at the end, sitting by her bed, her frail, weak hand resting in his large one. He had broken all the laws of time to get to her but, it had been worth it. He had finally been able to tell her how much he did, indeed, love her. He had stayed by her side till the morning after her burial then, he had come straight here. He wasn't sure exactly what he wanted to hear from Allegra but he knew, somehow he knew she would be able to give hiim some kind of comfort.

Allegra knew, the second TARDIS had landed, she sensed his grief, his loneliness. It took time for the right song to come to her but, as she was preapring for her third song, it came, the perfect song to help him express what he was thinking and feeling at that moment. Allegra whispered to her band leader and he nodded to the others. She took her seat and closed her eyes then, she began to sing.

"Who can say for certain

Maybe you're still here

I feel you all around me

Your memories so clear"

The Doctor's head came up and he pushed the fedora up a bit so he could see Allegra. He listened, letting the words of the song wrap around him.

"Deep in the stillness

I can hear you speak

You're still an inspiration

Can it be?

That you are my

Forever love

And you are watching over me from up above"

The Doctor smiled, it would be just like Sarah Jane to keep an eye on him, even now. There were times where he did hear her voice, giving him advice like she used to.

"Fly me up to where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile to know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are"

He grinned, her smile had always lit up his life and even now, he felt better, thinking of her and the life thay had had together. Now, she was forever part of those stars.

"Are you gently sleeping

Here inside my dream

And isn't faith believing

All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you

Just one beat away

I cherish all you gave me everyday

'Cause you are my

Forever love

Watching me from up above

And I believe

That angels breathe

And that love will live on and never leave'

His eyes unfocused, thinking about Sarah Jane as his angel now. He did cherish all she had given him and he wondered if she knew? He hoped she did and he knew his love for her would never die, never.

"Fly me up

To where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile

To know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

I know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are"

He sat back, pushed his fedora up fully and grinned. Allegra had seen into him again and reminded him that as long as he kept her in his hearts, Sarah Jane would never really be gone from him. He stayed and had his usual tea and then, walked back out to TARDIS. He unlocked the door, stepped inside and soon, the blue box disappeared. He knew, he had an angel now, always beside him, always watching out for him. She would always be a part of his life.
