I do not own the song or the characters.

As Graham runs into the TARDIS, he stops for a second as Ace runs in behind him. "Graham, why did you stop?"
"This is the first time I am on here without my Grandson." He goes forward as the Doctor runs to the console. Ace vaguely hears Graham tell the Doctor where Ryan is. She then realizes that she wished she had run into him. She moves closer to them as the TARDIS lands. The Doctor takes a quick step out, Ace watches as Graham and Yaz share a quick hug.
"How are you doing kid?"
"Better than I was a few hours ago."
"If we get time, do you want to talk about it?"
Tegan comes up behind Ace, "why are you watching them?"
"I don't know." Kate comes in followed by the Doctor.
'Just breathe, just relax, it'll be okay
Just an hour 'til your car's in the driveway
Just the first time ever hangin' out with you tonight
I've got my money on things goin' badly
Got a history of stories ending sadly
Still hoping that the fire won't burn me
Just one time, just one time'
"Graham, wait up."
He turns and faces her. "Yes Ace?"
"I wanted to give you my number in case you ever wanted to meet up or make up some Nitro."
"Coffee?"
"Sounds perfect," she smiles at him as he hands over his phone.
"Ace."
"Yes?"
"Where is your favorite coffee place?"
"Right next to my building."
"Building?"
"I run A Charitable Earth."
"Wait, that means, you're."
"You didn't recognize me?"
"No, I don't pay attention to whose who. I have to say you are more beautiful than I imagined."
"Are you trying to flirt?"
"Unsuccessfully."
"I don't know. It already seems like you like me for me."
"What I saw tonight yeah, and how I think you can take me for the gutters."
"I wouldn't want that, I would want you to be happy." He smiles at her.
"I think I could be very happy with you."
'All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life
Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life
And I want you now, wanna need you forever
In the heat of your electric touch, mmm'
"Graham," Ace calls him over, he is running late. After getting his coffee and ordering Ace another cup.
"I am sorry I am late. I was talking to Ryan about everything that happened last week."
"How is he doing?"
"He's doing well, and thinks I should go out with you."
"Why?"
"He says I couldn't stop talking about you."
"Could you?"
"Not really. There is something about you that I want to figure out."
"What is it?"
"Your favorite color, food, things to do when not working. What you like to do on a rainy Sunday."
Trying not to bite the inside of her lip, not used to anyone wanting to know everything anymore, "so you want to know everything?"
"Yeah, does that weird you out?" Graham takes a sip of his coffee.
"Not at all, though you might be weirded out by some of my flames."
"During one of my early adventures, I thought my dead wife was a frog that was talking to me."
"I once fell for a Cheetah Person."
"I guess we both have experienced a few weird things thanks to the Doc. We can experience more weird things together right?"
"I'd like that." They finish their coffee date. "Can we do this again Graham?"
"I believe we can."
'I've been left in the rain lost and pining
I'm tryin' hard not to look like I'm trying
'Cause every time I tried hard for love, it fell apart (Woah)
I've gotten used to no one callin' my phone
I've grown accustomed to sleepin' alone
Still, I know that all it takes is to get it right
Just one time, just one time'
Ace and Graham have been seeing each other for two weeks when he walks her home one night, "are you cold Ace?"
"A little," Graham shrugs off his jacket and lays it over her shoulders. "Thank you."
"Can't have you getting cold."
"What about you?" He wraps his arm around her.
"Let's share some body heat." They reach her door.
"I have an idea." Ace turns to him and brings their lips together in an electric kiss. "Did that warm you up?"
"Very much, but I think you look like you are getting cold," he tries to flirt and she smiles at him.
"You should probably help me warm up" she flirts back, her arms sneaking around his neck and his arms moving around her waist on the inside of his jacket. He kisses her this time. This one is more passionate.
'All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life
Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life
And I want you now, wanna need you forever
In the heat of your electric touch, mmm'
"Are you ready to meet Ryan tomorrow?" They are relaxing on the couch in Graham's small house.
"I am, when is he getting in?"
"He told me it would be a surprise."
"Well, I hope he likes me."
"How can he not? You are Ace."
"Graham," she laughs lightly while saying his name. "I love you."
"I love you too," he leans down and the two share a slow kiss as keys jingle in the door.
"Could that be," Graham somehow heard the keys, he detangles himself from Ace as the door opens.
"I think it is," Ace also stands up as the door opens.
"Hello, is anyone home," Ryan says to two smiling faces. "I told you it would be a surprise."
"It is," Graham goes to hug Ryan after he steps away, "this is Ace."
"The person you haven't stopped talking about for months." Ryan tries to make the joke.
"Really?" She looks at Graham.
"I already told you during our first coffee date." He reaches for her hand after she hugs Ryan.
"So does this mean the three of us aren't going out for dinner tomorrow?"
"No Ryan, it doesn't. We are still going somewhere."
"In fact, I am going to go and let the two of you reconnect. Graham has been looking forward to you coming home. I was also looking forward to tomorrow night. Nice to meet you, Ryan."
"Ace," Graham says after her, "let me walk you out."
"I can find my way."
"He wants to kiss you goodbye and not in front of me."
"That is commendable," she reclaims Graham's hand and the two walk out.
'I was thinking just one time (Just one time)
Maybe the stars align (Just one time)
And maybe I call you mine
And you won't need space
Or string me along while you decide
And just one time (Just one time)
Maybe the moment's right (The moment's right)
It's 8:05 and I see two headlights'
"Come on Ace, I am meeting your brother." Graham is trying to hold back his nerves. She comes down the stairs. "How do I look?"
"Like I should take you upstairs and have my wicked way with you."
"Ace."
"It's true, though you are like that a lot in my eyes. Don't worry Liam will love you, especially because of how you make me feel."
"Still, I don't want to be thinking of you in our bed when I am meeting your brother for the first time."
"He would've met you sooner, but he was busy with work."
"I know. I just have been nervous about meeting your family."
She fixes his tie, "it's just my brother that I didn't meet until I was in my 20s." They make their way to the restaurant. The moment Ace sees her brother she lets go of Graham's hand and runs to her him. Then she hugs Liam who she hadn't seen in years. "Baby Bro, this is Graham. Honey Bear, this is Liam."
"Nice to meet you Liam, Ace has told me a lot about you. She is more than proud of you."
"Dorothy, what have you told the man?"
"The truth," she scowls at him before smiling.
After their food comes, "what are your intentions?" Liam asks as he looks at Graham.
"LIAM!"
"It's my job as your brother to ask that."
"It's okay with me Ace," he looks between the siblings, "I love your sister and each morning that I wake up to her beautiful eyes and each night that I go to sleep seeing them makes me a happy man. I would love to spend the rest of my life doing just that. Though that is a conversation between her, and I have to have." Ace is staring at him while Liam sits back happy with all of that. He looks at his sister as a smile grows on his face. He starts to plan his next visit for when there will be a wedding.
'All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life
Got a feelin' your electric touch (Ooh)
All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life
Got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life (Life)
And I want you now, wanna need you forever
In the heat of your electric touch, mmm'
Graham is at his old flat with Ryan, while Ace is back at home, Tegan and Nyssa are with her. He comes to the living room, "are you ready to get married again?"
"I am, are you ok with me marrying Ace?"
"Of course, I am."
"Good, I haven't been this happy in years."
"I know."
Meanwhile Ace is slowly waking as her door opens. "Today is the day." Tegan comes in.
"The day I have been waiting for for over a year when he mentioned living the rest of his life with me."
"Your first marriage."
"Let's hope it is better than your first."
"You have the bonus of not being in love with anyone else." Tegan says remembering the cause of both of her divorces is that she has always been in love with Nyssa.
"That I do, he makes me happy."
"I know he does. From the moment I caught you watching him; I knew something was different."
"Graham and I have this electric touch from when our hands brushed in my bag to every time we touch."
