The Beast Below [Part 1]

A/N: This episode will be split into a few separate chapters. It ended up being longer than expected, so I had to split it up.

It was so beautiful, the dark abiss of space. Stars were everywhere. It was so much better than what you could ever see with any telescope. Lexi was sitting down with her panther clad feet dangling outside the TARDIS doors, gazing up at the stars. The Doctor was hanging onto one of Amy's ankles and letting her float just outside the doors.

After a few more minutes of this, The Doctor pulled Amy in and Lexi got up to lean against the door frame. It was hard to believe where they were. Yet, here it was, right in front of them. Was Amy getting married tomorrow, or a long time ago? Time travel was a confusing, but fascinating thing. So many thoughts were running through Lexi's mind that she almost didn't notice a large spaceship floating far below them. It almost looked like a giant city. Maybe it was.

"Doctor, Amy, look!" Lexis said pointing down.

"Now, that's interesting." The Doctor said glancing down at the ship. "29th Century. Solar flares roast the Earth," The Doctor walked back to the the console while Lexi and Amy continued to look down. "and the entire human race packs its bags," The Doctor was working the controls. "and moves out till the weather improves. Whole nations...migrating to the stars. Isn't that amazing?!'

"Fascinating..." Amy said still looking down.

The Doctor pulled up the spaceship on the monitor. "This is the United Kingdom of Great 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." The twins giggled at that. "Searching the stars for a new home." Amy and Lexi turned away from the spaceship and looked at The Doctor.

""Can we go see it?" Amy and Lexi asked in unison. The Doctor grinned at them both.

"Course we can but first... there's a thing."

"What thing?' Lexi asked tilting her head to the side.

"An important thing. In fact, thing one-" The Doctor quickly whipped out a magnifying glass from inside his jacket. and quickly ran up to the twins causing them to jump. He used the magnifying glass to look back and forth between them. "We are observers only." The Doctor then ran back to the monitor. He continued talking to the twins while looking at the screen. "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." Amy and Lexi went and stood at The Doctor's sides and looked at the screen. They saw a young girl sitting alone on a bench... 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." Amy looked at the screen with sad eyes.

Lexi had the same expression on her face. "That'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?"

Both Amy and Lexi looked up from the screen to see that The Doctor was no longer standing there with them. "Doctor?!" They asked together. They looked back at the screen to see that he appeared onscreen next to the young girl. They saw that he was waving at them and motioning for them to come and join him.

Amy and Lexi walked over to the TARDIS doors and poked their heads out. They then stepped foot outside and into a bustling marketplace. There was an arched glass ceiling that gave them a wonderful view of the stars. The market was a series of stalls and booths that were very similar to what you would see in any contemporary marketplace. They both just stared around in wonder.
