Summary: "Whatd'you mean, the TARDIS's song?"

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not Chameleon Circuit, not Doctor Who, nothing. Hopefully I've been a good enough girl this year...maybe Nine will bring me one of those instead of "redbicyclewhenyouweretwelve."

A/N: Listen to Chameleon Circuit's "Type 40" when you read this, as it's a sort-of songfic, but not in the sense that I paste the lyrics and write a story between them. It's more like... well, like 'let's pretend all Chameleon Circuit songs actually exist in some fashion in the Whoniverse.' Great fun, I promise.

She hummed the first part of the tune, and to her annoyance, her Doctor just grinned himself silly.

"I'm surprised you can actually hear it. Most other companions never do... Rose, if you want that to stop, you have to ask the TARDIS. It's her song, she's the one singing it, not me."

"Whatd'you mean, the TARDIS's song?"

"Just that. It's even got words." Rose could only laugh as he began to sing, "Powered by the Eye of Harmony, I can travel anywhere in space and time. I'm linked to the Doctor symbiotically, got his imprints on my bionebulizer..."
