Amy is floating in space, with the me holding on to her ankle from the open door of the Tardis.

"My name is Amy Pond. When I was seven, I had two imaginary friend. Last night was the night before my wedding." Amy said in her head.
I was smiling at her. While the doctor was next to me.

"Come on, Pond." He said.

"And my imaginary friends came back." Amy said. The Doctor pulls Amy back inside the Tardis.

"Now do you believe us?" I asked Amy pulling her back.

"Okay, your box is a spaceship. It's really, really a spaceship. We are in space! What are we breathing?"

"I've extended the air shell. We're fine." I reply. We are above the city in space.
 
"Now that's interesting. 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." I said. 
The Doctor runs back to the console and the doors close.

"Doctor?" Amy said trying to get his attention. 

"Migrating to the stars." I said smiling at him.

"Doctor?"

"Isn't that amazing?" He said. 

"Doctor! Seer!" Amy yelled slightly. He has shut her outside.

"Well, come on. I've found us a spaceship. 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. Searching the stars for a new home." I said to Amy.

"Can we go out and see?" Amy asked excitedly. 

"Course we can. But first, there's a thing." I told her.

"A thing?"

"An important thing. In fact, Thing One. We are observers only. 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." The doctor said.
I'm leaning against the rail. I then walk next to him.

"Ooo, that's interesting." I said. 

"So we're like a wildlife documentary, yeah? Because 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. It's got to be hard. I don't think I could do that. Don't you find that hard, being all, like, detached and cold?" Amy asked. Amy sees the Doctor and Alex on the scanner, speaking to the weeping Mandy.

"Doctor?" Amy asked
He gestures for her to join him.

*Time skip*

"Welcome to London Market. You are being monitored." Someone said.

"I'm in the future. Like hundreds of years in the future. I've been dead for centuries." Amy said looking around.
The doctor is holding my hand.

"Oh, lovely. You're a cheery one. Never mind dead, look at this place. Isn't it wrong?" I reply.

"What's wrong?" Amy asked. 

"Come on, use your eyes. Notice everything. What's wrong with this picture?"

"Is it the bicycles? Bit unusual on a spaceship, bicycles." Amy said.
I smile at her.

"Says the girl in the nightie." He said and I let out a little laugh.

"Oh my God, I'm in my nightie." Amy said

"Dont worry I've seen the doctor naked before you are fine Amy." I said.
