Title: Of songs

Summary: An American magazine quiz leads to the TARDIS having a bit of fun

Note: I don't own Doctor Who, or any of the song lyrics mentioned in this fic.

Inspiration: So I have a list of 100 theme prompts. I couldn't pick which one I wanted to do...so I asked my best friend to pick a number from 1 to 100. This is what came up. When I saw what she picked, I nearly died from the amount of cheese this fic could have. So I tried to take a humurous approach to it.

"So what's going on in the pop culture world now?" the Doctor asked as he looked down at Rose, a smirk growing on his face.

Rose looked up from her magazine and rolled her eyes at him. "Doctor what do you care about American pop culture?" she asked

"I don't care, per say, but it's always nice to know what the trends are at different times in history. So, what's the headline?"

"Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are breaking up. That's the article I'm reading now." Rose fell silent as she finished the article, then turned the page to the magazine. Every time they went to the near future, Rose liked to get a copy of a gossip magazine. After all the time she has spent on the TARDIS, she guessed that she had about eighty magazines stacked in boxes in her room. According to the Doctor, they were never allowed to leave the ship because it might cause a paradox. In reality, Rose thought it was just so she wouldn't show them to her mum. If she did, well the two of them would fuss about the articles for who knows how long, and that was something the Doctor wanted to avoid.

With a loud clank, the Doctor shut a panel under the console of the TARDIs and fell back in the seat next to Rose. "Well that will hold steady until we land, then I can fix it properly," he said. "What is that all about?" He was looking at the page over Rose's shoulder, studying the words intently.

"Some quiz about determining what song matches your personality best. It's pretty rubbish actually." Grinning, the Doctor took the magazine out of Rose's hands and scanned the page. "Oi! Give that back!" She tried to lunge for the magazine, but the Doctor held her back with one arm while he held the magazine in his other hand.

"Well all of these songs are an absolute waste. Don't even bother with any of them. What do you think your song would be Rose?" He tossed the magazine over his shoulder, where it landed with a tiny thud.

"Not sure. I might have had an idea if someone hadn't thrown my magazine across the room."

"Forget those songs. Let's see, for you, it would have to be something more upbeat, something happy. Oh I've got it!" The Doctor sprung up from the seat and ran to the far side of the console. After flipping a few switches an upbeat tempo began to fill the space of the room.

The song was unfamiliar to Rose, but the Doctor seemed to know it well enough. After a few seconds a strong female voice began to sing out, "Friday night beneath the stars, in the field behind your yard, you and I are painting pictures in the sky."

"What is this?" Rose asked as she listened to the song.

"This, Rose, is American country music. This girl starts getting big in 2006, but really hits home a few years after that. This song came out on her first record in 2006. What do you think?"

As Rose stood up, she began dancing to the beat of the song. Surprisingly, she found it really catchy. Later on she would have to look into this song and others by this singer.

As the song came to an end Rose looked over at the Doctor and she felt a grin spread across her face. "What's your song then Doctor?" she asked.

"Me? Oh I don't know. There are so many songs out there, hard to pick just one."

"Well you found one for me. Come on, you have to have some idea."

The Doctor was about to argue back when the TARDIS changed the song on its own. Within the first few seconds of the song playing, the Doctor's face turned from amusement to horror. "Oi! What's that all about?" he yelled at the ship.

Rose laughed as she watched the Doctor frantically attempt to turn the song off. It was one that she heard when they went to America in 2010. It had been one of the most popular songs at that time.

"You're so hypnotizing. Could you be the devil? Could you be an angel? Your touch magnetizing, feels like I'm floating. Leaves my body glowing."

"You think you're so clever don't you?" the Doctor yelled at the TARDIS. The volume only increased on the song, causing Rose to laugh harder.

"Doctor, I don't think there's a song out there that matches you better than this. It's about aliens after all," Rose teased. "I say the TARDIS got this one spot on."

With a roll of his eyes, the Doctor gave up trying to change the song. Instead, he stepped away from the console and started doing some sort of strange dance. Rose watched as he danced his way over to Rose and took her hand. "May I have this dance?" he asked. Laughing, Rose spun in a circle and the pair danced around the control room.

I'd like to point out before anyone leaves a review telling/asking me this. In this particular fic, I'm taking dancing in the literal sense, not in the Doctor Who metaphorical sense. My thoughts of dancing have forever been tarnished by this, which is bad since I'm a dancer (in the literal sense). See? I feel like I have to clarify every time I talk about it now...

But anywho, review please! Reviews mean I'll write more. Also, in a review I'd like suggestions of what an actual song about the Doctor could be. I just chose this because it was so cliche and way to good to pass up.
