Chapter 5: Our First Destination

Author’s Note: I apologize for having you all wait a month. But I’ve been in a bit of a funk. As well Grad prep has taken up some time. But since it’s Spring Break, I thought I would spend time writing chapters. I hope to have all of Beast Below up before I’m back in school on Monday for you guys. Since I owe you that much. Thank you all for reading this!

I don't own Doctor Who whatsoever BBC does, and I’m just a fan with an idea.

RECAP:  “Amy Pond, there's something you better understand about me, cause it's important, and one day, your life may depend on it. I am definitely a madman with a box.” The Doctor said as he grinned broadly at her until she does, then he laughs and she laughs too. He turned and started to dart around the console. I grinned wider than the both of them. He jams down a lever and we cling to the console as the TARDIS began to dematerialise, we were all laughing the whole time. And soon enough, we were off. We were off onto our next adventure!

Avery's POV

I watched as Amy floated outside of the TARDIS, I just had my turn. Last night, the Doctor came back for us. I was so happy and mad at the same time. But forget the fact he left us for 12 years, come back for one day and leave again for two years! He came back and we’re in his spaceship. “Come on, Pond.” The Doctor said as he pulled Amy back inside “Now do you believe me?” He asked Amy.

“OK, your box is a spaceship. It's really, really a spaceship. We are in space! Whoo! What are we breathing?” Amy asked

“I've extended the air shell - we're fine.” The Doctor saw something below us, and squats at the door.“ Now, that's interesting.” I came over and looked out, I saw a spaceship. “29th Century. Solar flares roast the earth,” We walked to the console “and the entire human race packs its bags” He worked at the controls “and moves out till the weather improves. Whole nations...” He told us.

“Doctor?”Amy said, from somewhere.

“...migrating to the stars.” The Doctor continued as if he didn’t hear Amy.

“Doctor?” Amy said again. I looked around as I saw Amy wasn’t with us. I walked back over to the door where Amy was outside clinging to the roof of the TARDIS. “Isn’t that amazing?” The Doctor finished off, still not noticing that Amy wasn’t inside the TARDIS and I wasn’t next to him.

“DOCTOR!” I yelled, he looked up from the console to see that neither of us was there. He pulled Amy down, and said “Well, come on. I’ve found us a spaceship.” We walked back in, after I closed the doors to the TARDIS so no one got sucked out again. The Doctor pulled up the spaceship that we were above on the monitor of the TARDIS. “This is the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland - all of it, bolted together and floating in the sky. Starship UK. It's Britain, but metal. That's not just a ship - that's an idea. That's a whole country, living and laughing and...shopping.” Amy chuckled “Searching the stars for a new home.”The Doctor said.

“Can we go out and see?” Amy and I asked.

“Course we can but first, there's a thing.”

“A thing?

“An important thing. In fact, thing one –“He looked through a magnifying glass “we are observers only. That's the one rule I've always stuck to in my travels. I never get involved in the affairs of other peoples or planets. Ooh! That's interesting.”The screen showed a little girl sitting alone crying.

“So we're like a wildlife documentary, yeah? Cos if they see a wounded little cub or something, they can't just save it - they've got to keep filming and let it die.”We watched the little girl “That’s got to be hard. I don't think I could do that. Don't you find that
