"So when you said you'd show me the universe, you meant it quite literally," Rose said with a light laugh. The Doctor smiled, and then turned to the controls.
"Where do you want to start?"
Rose thought for a moment. The entire universe was in her hands, and oddly enough she couldn't think of single place to go.
Going some place on Earth would be too dull compared to the other opportunities. She didn't know what planets and places the universe had to offer, and she didn't want to sound silly by suggestion some place entirely out of the question.
The Doctor noticed her taking a long time with an answer, and decided to offer some suggestions, just to nudge her in the right direction.
"Past, present, or future?" he asked, his voice breaking Rose out of her thoughts.
"Future," she answered after a moment.
"Earth or... someplace else?"
"Um, I'm not sure."
The Doctor saw her uncertainty, but he decided not to point it out, no need to embarrass the girl. He turned to the center controls, and began flipping switches and pressing a button here and there.
"Well, you've already met me, and you already walked into a box that's bigger on the inside, and you've already found out that time travel is indeed real, so how about we stick to Earth? Start you off simple, yeah?" he said.
"Yeah, that's be great," Rose said with a smile, relieved that the decision was taken off her shoulders.
The Doctor continued to control the TARDIS, punching in various coordinates.
He soon finished setting the course towards their intended destination. He could have finished it much sooner, but he decided to show off a bit for Rose and do the more elaborate process. They arrived at their destination a few seconds later.
"Here we are," he said.
"But, we haven't moved. At least, I didn't feel us move," Rose replied.
"We have moved. Teleported, sort of. It's a complicated process, I won't bore you with the details."
Rose nodded, and she walked down the steps to the doors. She peered out of one of windows, although she couldn't see anything through the frosted glass.
She looked back at the Doctor hesitantly, who gave her a smile. Taking a deep breath, Rose pushed the door open and exited the TARDIS.
To her surprise, they were no longer in the woods by the road, instead, they were in a spacious room.
The thing that caught her attention was a large window right in front of her, and outside the window was outer space. Rose's eyes widened in surprise.
She heard the Doctor exit the TARDIS, shutting the doors behind him, and moving to stand next to her.
"I-I thought you said we were going someplace on Earth?" Rose said. She wasn't quite sure how she felt about being in outer space, it seemed interesting while being vaguely terrifying.
"Well, we're right by Earth," The Doctor said in his defense, pointing to the familiar blue and green planet.
Rose noticed a large, glowing mass behind the Earth, almost reminding her of the sun. But that couldn't be it, could it?
"This is the year five billion. We are currently on Platform One, where we can watch this," he said, gesturing out to the window just as the glowing mass edge forward, "The sun's expanding, and today it's going to engulf the Earth. Welcome to the end of the world."
A/N: I'm back! So sorry this took a while, but I've been having massive writers block lately :/ But I am back, so yay!
As you can see, I've decided to more or less follow the plot of the show, with probably come changes. This Rose and Doctor are completely different (personality-wise) from the show Rose and Doctor, so of course their reactions and personalities and how they act will be different, so it shouldn't be boring!
And thanks so so so much for all the feedback, you guys are awesome!
