The Other Pond

The Beast Below (1)

(The TARDIS)

Amy was hanging out of the TARDIS doors with a not so raggedy man anymore holding her by the ankle tightly whilst Lily sat down with legs dangling over the edge of the TARDIS floor and into space

'My name is Amy Pond. When I was seven, I had an imaginary friend. Last night was the night before my wedding.'

'My name is Lily Pond. When I was seven, I had an imaginary friend. Last night was the night before my sister's wedding'

"Come on, Ponds." The Doctor coaxed the sisters back into the TARDIS.

'And my imaginary friend came back.'

'And my imaginary friend came back'

The Doctor pulls Amy back inside the TARDIS as well as grabbing Lily's hand to lift them up off the floor.

"Now do you believe me?" The Doctor asked smugly once the sisters were back standing in front of him.

"Okay, your box is a spaceship. It's really, really a spaceship. We are in space!" Amy exclaimed in pure joy and wonder, laughing along with her words.

"What are we breathing?" Lily asked in curiosity. "I've extended the air shell. We're fine." The Doctor calmy replied whilst looking side to side, up then down where he notices something and bends down low into a squatting position, Amy and Lily following his movements beside him.

"Now that's interesting." He gets up, Lily following him to where he wonders to the console, leaving Amy near the doors "Twenty ninth century. Solar flares roast the earth, and the entire human race packs its bags and moves out till the weather improves. Whole nations."

"Doctor?" A voice sounds.

"Migrating to the stars." The Doctor continues on whilst pointing at a control on the console for Lily to press, considering they had been bouncing on their heels, waiting to help.

"Doctor?" It voices again.

"Isn't that amazing?" He turns the Lily with a beaming smile on his face that they return in an instant.

"Doctor!"

Amy was outside shouting for them. They both rush over to the TARDIS doors to open them and find Amy hanging onto the edge of the blue box they were standing in. "Well come on, I've found us a spaceship" He pulls her back into the TARDIS before leading the sisters to a monitor nearby. He looks at the two people in front of him whilst he speaks whilst they look at the monitor showing Starship UK. "This is the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland. All of it, bolted together and floating in the sky. Starship UK." He looks to the monitor "Its Britain but metal. That's not just a ship, that's an idea. That's a whole country. Living and laughing and shopping. Searching the stars for a new home."

"Can we go out and see?" The sisters chorus together as the turn to look at the Doctor.

"Course we can. But first, there's a thing." He turns to them before walking away back to the console.

"A thing?" They say together, following the Doctor.

" An important thing. In fact, Thing One." He pulls up a magnifying glass and puts it to his eye. "We are observers only." He takes it away before passing it to Lily where they then look through it towards the Doctor and Amy, softly chuckling at their enlarged and magnified faces before putting it down on to the console. "That's the one rule I've always stuck to in all my travels. I never get involved in the affairs of other peoples or planets." He turns to look at the monitor to his right as a young girl in a red school uniform appears.
