"Rose?" {Y/N} calls out walking down the hall, she soon finds herself standing in the doorway of Gallery 15 with Rose sitting on the steps playing with the ball that the robed figures gave to them.

"Earth Death in twenty-five minutes."

"Oh, thanks," Rose says completely unaware of {Y/N} standing behind her with her arms crossed, Rose puts the ball down beside her and picks up the plant pot "Hello. My name's Rose. That's a sort of plant. We might be related" Rose sighs "I'm talking to a twig."

"Well, kind of" Rose turns to see {Y/N} walking towards her and sits down beside her.

"How long were you standing there for?" {Y/N} shrugs.

"Doesn't matter" after a few moments of silence {Y/N} speaks up "what do you think then, about all of this?" {Y/N} gestures, Rose looks at her.

"Great. Yeah, fine. Once you get past the slightly psychic paper. They're just so alien. The aliens are so alien. You look at 'em and they're alien" {Y/N} laughs quietly.

"Good thing we didn't take you to the Deep South, then" Rose nods a smile on her face.

"Where are you from?" she asks {Y/N}'s smile flattens and she looks down at her intertwined hands.

"All over the place" {Y/N} says after a few moments of hesitation, deciding not to ask any more questions Rose changes the subject.

"They all speak English," Rose says, {Y/N} goes to answer but the Doctor who happened to walk into the room answers.

"No, you just hear English. It's a gift of the TARDIS. The telepathic field, gets inside your brain and translates" he says standing next to {Y/N}, Rose looks up at him and tilts her head.

"It's inside my brain?"

"Well, in a good way" Rose suddenly gets up surprising {Y/N} who now has the plant pot in her hands.

"Your machine gets inside my head. It gets inside and it changes my mind, and you didn't even ask?!" Rose says raising her voice a little, {Y/N} tunes out and brings the plant pot up to examine it, she pokes the twig as the Doctor and Rose continue to ague.

"Earth Death in twenty minutes. Earth Death in twenty minutes" {Y/N} stops mid poke and looks up while the Doctor and Rose are now talking rather than yelling, that's when the Doctor sits beside her.

"You ok?" she blinks a couple of times, puts the pot down and turns to him with a smile.

"Yeah" she replies, he takes her hand in his and they both sit there in comfortable silence while Rose talks to her mum. A while later Rose walks over to them and both the Doctor and {Y/N} stand up, their hands no longer intertwined.

"That was five billion years ago. So, she's dead now. Five billion years later, my mum's dead."

"Bundle of laughs you are," the Doctor says, suddenly the space station starts to shake.

"Uh, I don't think that's supposed to happen" {Y/N} says, the Doctor quickly grabs both {Y/N} and Rose's hands and runs out of the room.

*Time Skip*

"I find the inherent laxity of the on-going multiverse" the Doctor drags them into the observation gallery where everyone else was.

"That wasn't a gravity pocket. I know gravity pockets and they don't feel like that. What do you think, Jabe? Listened to the engines. They've pitched up about thirty Hertz. That dodgy or what?" the Doctor lets go of Rose's hand, yet still holds onto {Y/N}'s, as he turns to Jabe.

"It's the sound of metal. It doesn't make any sense to me" Jabe says, shaking her head.

"Where's the engine room?" the Doctor asks.

"I don't know, but the maintenance duct is just behind our guest suite, I could show you, your wife and friend here," Jabe says gesturing to the Doctor and {Y/N}'s intertwined hands, the Doctor looks down and quickly pulls his hand away.

"She's not my wife" Jabe tilts her head.

"Partner?"

"No."

"Concubine?"

"Nope."

"Prostitute?" {Y/N} quickly interrupts putting her hands in front of them.

"Do you two mind?" She asks then shaking her head "you know what, you two go and do your thing. Rose and I are going to have a quick word with Michael Jackson over there" {Y/N} grabs Rose's hand and drags her towards Cassandra.

"You know Michael Jackson?" Rose whispers surprised.

"Well, humans have always interested me. I find you all quite fascinating, really" {Y/N} says "and plus I quite like Thriller."

"Don't start a fight!" the Doctor shouts, {Y/N} laughs quietly while shaking her head.

"Oh, and I want you home by midnight!" Rose shouts as the Doctor and Jabe walk out of the room.

"Earth Death in fifteen minutes. Earth Death in fifteen minutes."

*Mini Time Skip*

"Soon, the sun will blossom into a red giant, and my home will die. That's where I used to live, when I was a little boy, Mummy and Daddy had a little house built into the side of Los Angeles Crevice. I'd have such fun" {Y/N} stands beside Rose with her hands in her pocket.

"What happened to everyone else? The human race, where did it go?" Rose asks looking at Cassandra.

"They say mankind has touched every star in the sky" Cassandra replies.

"So, you're not the last human?" Cassandra scoffs.

"I am the last pure human. The others mingled" Rose looks at her confused "oh, they call themselves New humans, Proto-humans and Digi-humans, even 'Humanish, but you know what I call them?" Rose shakes her head "Mongrels."

"Right. And you stayed behind."

"I keep myself pure" {Y/N} looks over at Cassandra with her eyebrows furrowed.

"How many operations have you had?"

"Seven hundred and eight. Next week, it's seven hundred and nine. I'm having my blood bleached. Is that why you girls wanted a word?" she looks over at Rose slightly "Rose, you could be flatter. You've got a little bit of chin poking out."

"I'd rather die" both rose and {Y/N} say at the same time.

"Honestly, it doesn't hurt."

"No, we mean it. We would rather die. It's better than living like you, a bitchy trampoline" Rose says, {Y/N} snorts trying to suppress a laugh.

"Oh, well. What do you two know anyway."

"I was born on that planet so was my mum and dad so that makes me officially the last human being in this room, 'cos you're not human. You've had it all nipped and tucked and flattened till there's nothing left. Anything human got chucked in the bin. You're just skin, Cassandra. Lipstick and skin. Nice talking" {Y/N} stares wide eyes and Rose grabs her by the arm and drags her away from Cassandra.
