The Doctor is starting to power up the Tardis, while outside Jackie and Mickey are with Nova and Rose, who has a heavy rucksack on her back. Nova already put her bag in her room on the Tardis.
Jackie looks at the girls "Have you got everything?"
Nova nods with a smile "Yes Jacks"
Rose smiles at her, mum "I've got everything, don't worry."
"Be careful girls," Jackie tells them.
Nova chuckles and pulls Jackie into a hug "We'll try our best" she winks at her after pulling away. Nova walks into the Tardis leaving Rose to have a moment with Jackie and Mickey.
Nova pulls out the photograph she found the night before and smiles sadly at it. Her father looks up at her "What's that?"She walks around the console standing by her dad's side and shows him the photo "I found it last night, walking back towards the console room a door to one of the rooms opened and the picture was laying on the dresser so, I figured it was Noah's room since she gave me my old room, so I grabbed it and I plan on keeping it close to me now."
Her dad looks at her sympathetically as she sighs "I miss him."
The doctor wraps an arm around his daughter's shoulders "I know, I miss him too Novs... I miss them all."
Nova nodded at him, me too Dad, me too."
She holds the photo to her chest for a moment before putting it back into the inside chest pocket of her leather jacket. Nova shakes her head clearing it and putting a smile on her face it wasn't a genuine smile, but nobody could tell unless they knew she was sad.
Rose looks at her mum "You'll have to call Mo about that."
Jackie brushes her off "Oh, never mind Mo."
Rose nods "Okay, I'm going now. I love you!"
"I love you. Tell Nova I love her too."
Rose smiles "Love you, love you. and of course, I'll tell her mum" She kisses Mickey.
"Love you," Mickey tells her.
Rose just smiles "Love you." The blonde called back as she walks into the Tardis. Jackie turns her back and walks away as the Tardis dematerializes.
Mickey smiled slightly but it had a sad twinge to it.
Nova grins as Rose walks up to the console "So where are we going?"
The Doctor grins at them "Further than we've ever gone before."
The Tardis has materialized 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."
Rose looks surprised "That's just. That's just"
The Doctor looks at her "Not bad. Not bad at all." Nova smiles at them, she has a feeling in the pit of her stomach that something good is going to happen here.
Rose grins "That's amazing. I'll never get used to this. Never. Different ground beneath my feet, different sky." She pauses "What's that smell?"
"Apple grass." Nova and the Doctor, both tell her.
"Apple grass," Rose repeats with a grin.
"Yeah, yeah." Rose grins with a sigh "It's beautiful. Oh, I love this. Can I just say, traveling with you guys, I love it."
The Doctor grins at her "Me too. Come on."
Nova nods "Me three" He grabs Nova and Rose by the hand pulling them along.
