Apocalypse Rising (Book Two)

New Earth

Photoshopped Caly and Rose together for "New Earth." I've put edited ones in on "The End of the World," "World War Three," and "Boom Town" if you would like to see those. But if you would like to see me attempt more of these, even if it is very, very hard to find photos of Doctor Who episodes that don't actually include the man himself, let me know in the comments!

"Have you got everything?" Jackie asked as Rose headed towards the TARDIS.

Rose giggled, showing her mum the heavy rucksack she was carrying. "I've got everything, don't worry."

"Be careful."

"You'll have to call Mo about that - "

Jackie shook her head. "Oh, never mind Mo."

"OK." Rose grinned. "I'm going now. I love you!"

"I love you," Jackie replied, giving her a hug.

Rose smiled, then turned to Mickey, and her smile faded a little. "Bye," she settled for, giving him a hug before running into the TARDIS so she couldn't see his face.

But her grin returned full out as she set her bag down on the grating and ran up to the console, seeing that the Apocalypse had added something new to her attire: a sparkling white scarf. "So where are we going?" she asked.

The Apocalypse grinned. "Further than we've ever gone before," she replied, throwing a lever nearby.

Rose poked her head out of the TARDIS, and her jaw dropped when she saw cars actually flying overhead! "It's the year five billion and twenty three," the Apocalypse explained, stepping out behind her, leaning against the door. "We're in the galaxy M87, and this?" She held out her arms. "This is New Earth!"

"That's just . . . " Rose sputtered and she spun in a circle, her jaw literally hanging open as she stared at everything around her. "That's just . . . "

"Not bad," the Apocalypse supplied, laughing as she nodded. "Not bad at all!"

"That's amazing," Rose breathed, shaking her head and wrapping her arm through the Apocalypse's. "I'll never get used to this. Never. Different ground beneath my feet, different sky - " She paused, sniffing. "What's that smell?"

The Apocalypse winked, bending down and plucking a couple pieces of grass from the ground. "That'll be apple grass," she answered, handing Rose a piece.

Rose took a deep breath, and yes, the grass did smell like apples. "Apple grass," she repeated faintly.

"Apple grass," the Apocalypse repeated back with a laugh. "Yeah!"

"It's beautiful!" Rose gushed in amazement. "Oh, I love this!" She beamed at her older sister. "Can I just say? Traveling with you? I love it."

"Me, too," the Apocalypse replied with a smile before tugging her hand. "Come on!"

"So, the year five billion, the sun expands, the Earth gets roasted," the Apocalypse explained as they sat on the ground, watching cars fly overhead.

"That was our first girls' night out," Rose joked.

"We had chips," the Apocalypse replied with a smile. "So anyway, planet gone, all rocks and dust, but the human race lives on, spread out across the stars. Soon as the Earth burns up, oh yeah, they get all nostalgic, big revival movement, but then they find this place. Same size as the Earth, same air, same orbit. Lovely. So the call goes out, and the humans move in."
