"You said this was a spaceship." I said, watching the Doctor work the controls, "So you're an alien, then?"
He looked up with a big grin,"Uh, yeah. Is that a problem?"
I looked him over, taking in his appearance which really looked like he couldn't even harm a fly, "...No."
Rose smiled, "This is actually real."
"Tell me about it," I laughed excitedly.
"Right then, Rose Tyler, Joy..." the Doctor paused, "Do you have another name?"
"Souza," I answered fast, "S-o-u-z-a, pronounced, SO-ZAH!"
He laughed, probably thinking I was crazy but I was just so excited! "Alright then, Joy Souza, where so you want to go? Backwards or forwards in time? What's it going to be?"
"Forwards," Rose and I answered together; we glanced at each other and smiled.
"How far?"
"One hundred years," Rose blurted.
But I knew exactly where I wanted to go. If this was a time traveling box then I'd put it to the test. "Five billion years into the future."
They looked up, shocked. "Really?" the Doctor asked.
"Yes. Take us," I ordered lightly.
"Right then," he shrugged, pulling down a lever.
The box shook in its violent ways that seemed usual for the Doctor as he just awaited for its halt.
When we did stop, I rushed to the doors. "Are we here?"
"Why don't you look outside?" the Doctor replied.
I bit my lip and flung the doors open. It was a wooden room with a glass window in front. I rushed down the small steps and towards the wall. "I'm looking at the earth," I whispered, "My earth."
"You lot spend all your time thinking about dying. Like you're going to get killed by eggs or beef or global warming or asteroids," the Doctor said from behind, "But you never take time to imagine the impossible. Maybe you survive. This is 5 billion years in your future. This is the day...hold on...This is the day the sun expands." "Welcome to the end of the world."
I was looking with such intrigue through the window when he said that; my eyes widened and looked back with shock. He nodded, reasserting what he had just said. I looked back to my planet. My dear Earth. "The end of the world..." I stroked the wall.
Now, I truly believed the Doctor's box of wonders was a time traveling box; it had brought us to the end of the world.

"So when it says, 'guests' does that mean people?" Rose was asking the Doctor as we walked down a corridor.
"Depends what you mean by people." the Doctor shrugged.
"I mean people. What do you mean?"
"Aliens." I smiled, capturing the term quite fast.
The Doctor smiled back, nodding. "This is an observation deck. The great and the good are gathering to watch the planet burn."
"For fun?"
"My, you are clever." he nodded.
"Believe me, I've had to be..." I muttered, looking away.
"I'm sorry?"
"Nothing," I quickly said, "So do we get to meet them?" We entered an observation gallery. "The rich aliens?"
