Both girls walk down the hallway arm in arm to the console room.
When they get there Ky nudges the blonde to ask. "So where are we going?"
The Doctor looks at the girls I've the console and smiles brightly. "Further than we've ever gone before." Before starting up the Tardis.

The Tardis has materialised across the river from a massive city. Flying cars zoom overhead.
"It's the year five billion and twenty three. We're in the galaxy M87, and this? This is New Earth." The Doctor tells them.
Ky looks around taking it all in. "It's a bit windy." She says, shivering slightly.
"That's just. That's just" Rose says to them both, unable to come up with anything.
"Not bad. Not bad at all." The Doctor says looking at Rose on his left, then at Kyraiah on his right.
"That's amazing. I'll never get used to this. Never. Different ground beneath my feet, different sky. What's that smell?" Rose asks him.
"Apple grass."
"Apple grass."
"Yeah, yeah."
"It's beautiful. Oh, I love this. Can I just say, travelling with you two, I love it." Rose tells both Timelords.
"And me." Ky says slightly giddy. She loves doing this with two of the people she loves the most.
"Me too. Come on." The Doctor says.
The all walk off arm in arm.

The Doctor and Rose are relaxing on his long coat, with Kyraiah just laid on her stomach at the end of his coat, looking at the city.
"So, the year five billion, the sun expands, the Earth gets roasted." The Doctor says to the girls.
"That was our first date." Rose says to the Doctor.
"Gross." Ky mumbles, she loves them both, but they have this weird sort of relationship. She'd be totally okay with them being together, it's just the odd flirting they do that grosses her out.

"We had chips." The Doctor says as he smiles at the blonde. "So anyway, planet gone, all rocks and dust, but the human race lives on, spread out across the stars. Soon as the Earth burns up, oh yeah, they get all nostalgic, big revival movement, but then find this place. Same size as the Earth, same air, same orbit. Lovely. Call goes out, the humans move in."
"What's the city called?" Rose asks.
"New New York." Ky says looking at her.
"Oh, come on." Rose says looking at the red head.
"It is. It's the city of New New York. Strictly speaking, it's the fifteenth New York since the original, so that makes it New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York." The Doctor says grinning wildly. "What?" He asks her.
"You're so different." Was her answer. Maybe he was to Rose, but not to Ky. Then again Timelords can look at another and still see the same person even if it is a new face.
"New New Doctor." He tells the girls. He knows even if he is a different man to the blonde, he isn't really to the redhead, she can see him. She can look past the new body and see who he is as a being.

"Can we go and visit New New York, so good they named it twice?" Rose asks pulling both from there thoughts. Kyraiah nods, she would also like to see New New York.
"Well, I thought we might go there first." The Doctor says pointing at an elegant pair of curved skyscrapers standing apart from the city on their side of the river.
"Why, what is it?" Rose asks him.
"Some sort of hospital. Green moon on the side. That's the universal symbol for hospitals." Ky tells her. Now she knows they didn't just come here for the fun of it. Some one wants them here.
The Doctor nods at his daughter. "I got this. A message on the psychic paper." Which says -Ward 26 Please Come
"Someone wants to see me." He tells them.
"Hmm. And I thought we were just sight-seeing. Come on, then. Let's go and buy some grapes." Rose says to him as the all get up and start towards the hospitals.

Inside the hospital is a massive area, that they stop in.
"Bit rich coming from you." Rose says to the Doctor after he tells them he doesn't like hospitals.
"I can't help it. I don't like hospitals. They give me the creeps." The Doctor tells her. To be honest neither does Ky. They freak her out a bit, too much white she reckons.
"The Pleasure Gardens will now take visitors carrying green or blue identification cards for the next fifteen minutes. Visitors are reminded that cuttings from the gardens are not permitted." A voice says over the tannoy.
"Very smart. Not exactly NHS." Rose says looking around.
"No shop. I like the little shop." The Doctor says.
"I thought this far in the future, they'd have cured everything." Rose asks both of the people with her, one of them, if not both, usually have an answer for her.
"The human race moves on, but so do the viruses. It's an ongoing war." Ky tells her. That was what Rose meant, the girl was full of just as much information as her dad despite there being about 750 years age difference.
Looking around Rose finally notices the faces of the nursing staff in their nun-like wimples and habits. "They're cats."
"Now, don't stare. Think what you look like to them, all pink and yellow. That's where I'd put the shop. Right there." The Doctor says to her whilst pointing over at a space.
The Doctor and Kyraiah walk into the lift, Rose isn't quite quick enough.
"Ward 26, thanks!" The Doctor says to the lift.
"Hold on! Hold on!" Rose shouts as the lift doors close.
"Oh, too late. We're going up." The Doctor shouts back to her.
Ky looks at her father and shakes her head, Rose should be fine. How much trouble can she get into in a hospital.
"It's all right, there's another lift." Rose shouts through the lift doors.
"Ward 26 and watch out for the disinfectant." Ky shouts to her friend.
"Watch out for what?" She shouts back, having not heard her friend.
"The disinfectant!" The Doctor shouts this time.
"The what?" She shouts yet again, still not hearing what they were shouting at her.
"The disin... Oh, forget it, she'll find out." Ky starts shouting then turns to her dad grinning. This would be a bit of fun.
"Commence stage one disinfection." Comes through the speaker.
The Timelords gets drenched by a spray. They both run their hands through there hair, smiling at each other before they start laughing.
A white powder is then blasted at them. The next stage is a blow dry. They both seem to enjoy it.
Walking out the lift, Kyraiah grins again. "I wonder how Rose got on with that..." she then realises she can't see the blonde as they walk away "...where is she anyway. Dad your taller than me can you see her anywhere." The Doctor looks around and shakes his. He can't see her either.
"Please report to reception." Is heard over the tannoy as the pair is  being escorted by a veiled nurse.

"Nice place. No shop, downstairs. I'd have a shop. Not a big one. Just a shop, so people can shop." The Doctor says as the nurse removes her veil.
"The hospital is a place of healing." The cat lady says.
"A shop does some people the world of good. Not me or him, he just likes them. Other people though, retail therapy I think. Not sure though, never been one for crowded places. Too cramped, no I like open..." Kyraiah starts telling the nurse only for her dad to nudge her. "You're rambling again, little one." He telepathically tells her.

"Oh..." she thinks "...why did you just let me do that. I need to stop doing that. It annoys people I think. I just go on and on and on and I'm doing it again. For Gallifreys sake." She projects to her dad. He just shakes his head. He smiles at her frown that is clearly directed at herself. The rambling was something, he thought at least, that made her and her personality just purely her. She's always done it since they found her and it's something this regeneration of him does sometimes too, must be a habit he picked up from her.

"The Sisters of Plentitude take a lifelong vow to help, and to mend." The nurse says as they pass an open cubicle.
"Excuse me! Members of the public may only gaze upon the Duke of Manhattan with written permission from the Senate of New New York." The lady inside says.
"That's Petrifold Regression, right?" Ky asks the man on the bed.
"I'm dying, miss, sir. A lifetime of charity and abstinence, and it ends like this." The Duke of Manhattan says to the pair.
"Any statements made by the Duke of Manhattan may not be made public without official clearance." The woman says to them, clearly taking whatever her job was very seriously.
"Frau Clovis! I'm so weak." The Duke says to her, grabbing her jacket slightly as she walks over to him.
"Sister Jatt. A little privacy, please." The lady, now known to Kyraiah as Frau Clovis, says.
"He'll be up and about in no time." Sister Jatt tells the two time travellers.
"I doubt it. Petrifold Regression? He's turning to stone. There won't be a cure for oh, a thousand years? He might be up and about, but only as a statue." Kys dad says to the cat nurse.
"Have faith in the Sisterhood. But is there no one here you recognise? It's rather unusual to visit without knowing the patient." She asks him.
"No, I think I've found him." The Doctor say seeing a large face in a container by the picture window with a view of the city.
"Novice Hame, if I can leave this gentleman and his daughter in your care?" Jatt says to another cat, Novice Hame.
"Oh, I think my best friend got lost. Rose Tyler. Could you ask at reception please?" Ky says turning to Sister Jatt.
"Certainly, miss." Sister Jatt says as she leaves.
"I'm afraid the Face of Boe's asleep. That's all he tends to do these days. Are you friends, or..." Hame asks them. Ky turns to her, did she say Face of Boe. No, it can't be she thought, this time making sure not to send it to her dad. He didn't need to question how she knew that name.
"We met just the once on Platform One. What's wrong with him?" The Doctor asks Hame.
"I'm so sorry. I thought you knew. The Face of Boe is dying." She tells him. Ky just kneels by the glass her forehead nearly touching the glass.
"Of what?" She whispers sadly.
"Old age. The one thing we can't cure. He's thousands of years old. Some people say millions, although that's impossible." The nurse responds to the sad girl.
"Oh, I don't know. We like impossible. I'm here. I look a bit different, but it's me, It's the Doctor. And this, this is my daughter Kyraiah, you haven't met yet. She's brilliant." The Doctor says kneeling next to his daughter putting his hand on the glass, near to where she has now put her forehead, trying to keep the tears in.
