                𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐃 at Rose as The Doctor threw a glass ball in his hands, up and down. "Right then, Rose and Aselia Tyler. You tell me, where do you wanna go? Backwards or forwards in time? Your choice." 

Rose looked at Aselia with a giddy look on her face, "What's it going to be?" 

"Forwards," Rose answered for the both of them, The Doctor placed the glass ball down on the edge of the Tardis's controls before clicking a few buttons and turning to the girls. 

"How far?" 

Aselia leaned back against the barrier, "A hundred years?" 

The Tardis hums as it starts to fly off, it was quick and over with in under a few seconds. "There we are, step outside those doors, it's the 22nd century." The Doctor assured, and Rose looked at him shocked. 

Aselia wasn't convinced either, "You're kidding!" 

"That's a bit boring though, d'you wanna go further?" 

Aselia smirked as she pushed off the barrier and went to stand beside her sister, "Fine by us." She taunted, and The Doctor gave her a side smirk before rolling a spinner and fidgeting with the buttons again. 

"Ten thousand years in the future," He explained once the Tardis had once again stopped. Aselia tilted her head to the side. "Step outside, its the year 12005. The new Roman empire." He explained the year. 

"You think your so impressive!" Rose giggled and The Doctor looked at her offended.

"I am so impressive." 

"You so wish." Aselia taunted, a smirk tugging at her lips as she watches the Doctor contemplate something. 

"Right then, you two asked for it," He pointed at the two sisters before turning back towards the controls. "I know exactly where to go. Hold on!" The Doctor called before they were off again, the Tardis swishing to the side, causing Aselia to fall over into the barrier. 

"Did you ever really learn to fly this thing?" Aselia called out over the loud machinery and The Doctor smirked at her. 

"Nope, failed the test. Stole it!" He called over to her and she scowled, but loved the Tardis all the same. It wasn't her fault she had gotten a careless driver. Suddenly, they came to an abrupt stop; a little ping echoing around. 

It was quiet for a moment, the two girls expecting for the Doctor to explain where they were. "Where are we?" Rose questioned, finally after a couple of minutes. Her head tilting to the side as The Doctor smirked. 

He only held out his hand, "What's out there, is it something cool?" Aselia questioned, and the Doctor reiterated the hand pointing towards the door, Aselia pushed at her sister. "Come on, let's go check it out." She pushed, and Rose smiled before rushing towards the door. 

Once the door opened, Aselia gaped for a moment. "Oh my god," She whispered, the walls were plain but there was a big window at the front of it. "This is beautiful." Rose swiftly agreed, as Aselia jumped down the steps. 

Her necklace turned orange again before settling down, a sound echoed from behind them but Aselia payed little mind to it as she was engrossed in the scene in front of her. "You lot, you spend all your time thinking about dying. Like your going to get killed by eggs or beef or global warming or asteroids," The Doctor started, as he crossed his arms beside Aselia. 

"But you never take time to imagine the impossible, that maybe you'll survive," He continued, looking at the blonde girls beside him. "This is the year 5.5/Apple/26. Five billion years in the future." 

Aselia let a smile drift onto her lips, five billion years. She thinks, she'd long be dead by this year. The Doctor looked at the two happy siblings, "And this is the day," He looked down at his watch before sighing. "Hold on," A bright light came from behind the earth and Aselia covered her eyes with her arm. "This is the day the sun expands, welcome to the end of the world." 

"This is the end of the earth?" Aselia questioned softly, it may be beautiful, but it was still sad. The Doctor nodded. "It's beautiful but depressing." She smiled softly as a PA came through a microphone. 

"Shuttle five and six now docking. Guests are reminded that platform one forbids the use of weapons, teleportation and religion. Earth death is scheduled for 15:39, followed by drinks in the Manchester Suite." 

"People are coming to watch this?" Aselia questioned astonished. A little disgusted as well, how could people watch as a planet got destroyed, she understood that it had to happen but still it was a little disturbing. 

"So, when it means guests does that mean people?" Rose questioned, and Aselia shoots her a deadpanned look. "Don't look at me like that, it was just a question." She defends herself and Aselia rolls her eyes.

"I didn't even say anything." She drawled, "It'll more likely be Aliens, Rose but it was a good question." 

"Depends on what you mean by people?"

"I mean people, what do you mean?" Rose questioned The Doctor on his vague answer, and answering with another question. 

"Aliens." The Doctor answered like it was the most obvious answer in the world. 

"What are they doing on this space-ship?" Rose continued to question, "What's it all for?" 

The Doctor pulled out his sonic-screwdriver, "It's not really a space-ship, more like an observation deck," He answered, "The great and the good are gathering to watch the planet burn." 

"What for?" Aselia questioned, cutting Rose off who had her mouth open, ready to ask another question. 

"Fun," The Doctor grabbed Aselia's hand without her permission, she flinched for a moment and The Doctor took a look at her before letting her hand go and she gives him a weak smile. The three of them walked into a bigger room, a bigger observation deck. "Mind you, when I say, 'the good and the great' what I mean is the rich." 

"But hold on, they did this once on newsround extra," Rose started and Aselia gave her a look over her shoulder. "The sun expanding, it takes hundreds of years." 

"Millions," The Doctor corrects, Rose looked over at Aselia wondering why she had flinched away from the Doctor's touch. "But the planets now the property of the national trust, they've been keeping it preserved." 

"Basically, the national trust bought it." Aselia scoffed under her breath lightly, but The Doctor obviously heard her and agreed with her. 

"See down there," The Doctor pointed to something below the sun, "Gravity satellites, holding back the sun." Aselia frowned, noticing how the continents were still spread apart; which wasn't normal. 

"The planet still looks the same as ever," Rose speaks up Aselia's suspicions. "I thought the continents shifted and things?" 

"They do." Aselia answered quietly, clasping her fingers behind her back as she watches the sun become dangerously close to the earth. 

"They did, just like Aselia said, and the trust shifted them back. That's a classic earth," The Doctor began, pointing at earth. "Now the money's run out, nature takes over." The Doctor finishes.

"How longs it got?"

"About half an hour. Then the planet gets roasted." 

"Is that why we're here? I mean is that why you do? Jump in at the last moment and save the earth?" Rose questioned and Aselia quietly shook her head, she somehow knew that was not the reason he took them here.

The Doctor leaned in slightly, "I'm not saving it. Times up." 

"But what about the people?" 

"It's empty. They've all gone. All left." The Doctor answered bluntly, again, like it was the most obvious answer. 

"Just me and Aselia then." 

An outraged cry came from behind them, "Who the hell are you?" 

The Doctor whirled around quickly, Aselia quickly turning around after him before Rose turned around, feeling like she was in her sisters shadow, again. "Oh, that's nice, thanks!" The Doctor exclaimed. 

"But, how did you get in?" The man walked towards the three of them, "This is a maximum hospitality zone, the guests have disembarked. They're on their way! Any second now-" The Doctor cut him off as Aselia crossed her arms over her chests. 

"No! That's me, I'm a guest!" The Doctor pulled out a small black notepad and showed it to the host, or who, Aselia believed to be the host. "Look, I've got an invitation. Look, Y'see? It's fine, the doctor plus two." 

"I wonder if this is how he treats all his guests." Aselia put severe emphasis on guests, considering they weren't actually supposed to be there. The Doctor obviously didn't hear her, but Rose had and she just quietly chuckled. 

"I'm the Doctor, this is Rose Tyler and her sister Aselia Tyler, they're my plus two. That all right?" The Doctor questioned as Aselia twisted her head to the side, the man pursed his lips before nodding. 

"Well, obviously," He answered before looking over at the two blonde girls, "Apologises, et cetera. If you're on board, we'd better start. Enjoy." He comments before turning around and walking away. 

"Are all aliens that abrasive?" Aselia nudged the Doctor and he just shook his head. 

"He's just doing his job," He answered before pulling the same black book out of his pockets and showing it to Rose. "The papers slightly physic, it shows whatever I want them to see. Saves a lot of time." He explains the workings of it. 

"Doctor," Rose drawls, "He's blue." 

"Yeah." 

"Okay." Rose comments, before looking to the front again as the host introduces them. 

"We have in attendance, The Doctor, Rose Tyler and Aselia Tyler," The host introduces and The Doctor waves. "Thank you. All staff to their positions! Hurry now! Thank you! Quick as we can, come along, come along!" 

"And now might I introduce the next honoured guest, representing the Forest of Cheam," He throws out his hand towards the doorway, "We have trees, namely Jabe, Lute and Coffa." Three trees emerged from the doorway and Aselia smiled brightly. 

"There will be an exchange of gifts representing peace. If you could keep the room circulating, please. Thank you!" The host exclaims as the three of them make their way further into the spacious observatory deck. 

"She's beautiful," Aselia mutters more to herself than others but catches the eyes of the Doctor and gives him a soft smile. "What? She is." She defends her choice and The Doctor just smiles and shrugs his shoulders. 

"Next, from the solicitors of Jolco and Jolco, we have the Moxx of Balhoon." The people just kept arriving and arriving from everywhere. Jabe, Lute and Coffa all came up to them, she smiles warmly. 

"A gift of peace," She motions towards the plants on a tray being carried behind her. "I bring you a cutting of my grandfather." She hands it over to The Doctor, who smiled and gave it over to Rose. 

"Thank you, um, yes, gifts," The Doctor searched everywhere on him, which made Aselia smile lightly. "I gift you, um, air from my lungs." And he gently blew on her. 

"How, intimate." 

The Doctor rocked on his heels, "There's more where that came from." 

"I bet there is," Aselia chuckled lightly. "I love your necklace by the way." Jabe comments and Aselia places her hand on her necklace gently, giving herself a little burst of energy and an electric feeling at the same time. 

She winced before pulling her hand away and plastering a smile on her face, "Thank you! I got it from one of my closest friends. I love your dress." She complimented, and Jabe brightly smiled back before moving away from the three of them. 

"Smooth, Doctor. Very smooth." 

Rose looked past The Doctor and made eye contact with her sister, "Who did you really get the necklace from? Misty couldn't have given it to you because she's-"

"Dead? I'm aware," She hissed harshly, quickly shutting down the conversation as she tried to push the burning tears away. "I was there, remember?" 

"Our friend from the Silver Devastation, the sponsor of the main event, please welcome," The Doctor went to place a comforting hand on her shoulder but stopped midway, remembering the way she flinched last time he touched her. He reminded himself to ask her about it later, gently. "The face of Boe!"

The Moxx of Balhoon came up to them, "The Moxx of Balhoon!" The Doctor exclaimed happily. 

"My felicitations upon this historical happenstance, I bring the gift of bodily salivas." He spat on Rose, The Doctor plastered a fake smile on. 

"Thank you very much!" 

Once the Moxx of Balhoon had moved on, Aselia discreetly handed her a tissue from her purse for her to wipe her face. "Thank you." She whispered, before turning around to wipe her face clean. 

"Ah, the adherents of the repeated meme!" The Doctor continued on like nothing had just happened, "I bring you air from my lungs." He blew on them just like he had done to Jabe, and Aselia scoffed but smiled lightly. 

"A gift of peace," One of them pulled their hand up, showing off a metallic silver ball. "All in good peace." 

"And last but not least, our very special guest," The man upfront announced, making Aselia look away from the males clad in black in front of her towards the front again. "Ladies and gentlemen, and trees and multiforms, consider the Earth, below. In memory of this dying world, we call forth, the last human."

The doors opened showing a face, nothing more, hanging on metal. "The Lady Cassandra O'Brien Dot Delta Seventeen." Aselia had seen a lot of strange things but this topped it, her lips curled upwards into a confused smile. 

"Oh, now. Don't stare! I know it's shocking, isn't it?" 

"A bit hard not too." Rose snorted from beside the Doctor and Aselia tapped her arm before shaking her head, basically telling her to be nice. 

"I've had my chin completely taken away and look at the difference, look how thin I am!" Cassandra beamed, and if she was happy. Aselia would not judge her for it. Aselia never judges anyone on the appearance only on their personality. "Thin and dainty. I don't look a day over 2000. Moisturise me. Moisturise me!" 

One of her guests turned towards her, and started praying something on her face. "Truly, I am the last human. My father was a Texan, my mother was from the Artic Dessert," Rose started to walk, making the Doctor and Aselia look at her worried. "They were born on the earth, and they were the last to be buried in its soil. I have come to honour them and say goodbye." Cassandra's voice breaks.

Aselia watched, worried, that Cassandra might catch Rose snooping around the back of her. The other guest dabbed at her face gently as she cursed herself out for almost crying. "But behold, I bring gifts," A man came from behind the obviously shocked Rose with an egg in his arms. "From earth itself, the last remaining ostrich egg." 

Aselia wasn't one to judge anyone and she felt herself starting to judge Cassandra's choice but quickly pushed them away. "Legend says it had a wing span of fifty feet and blew fire from its nostrils," She snorted at the legend which wasn't true even though they could've evolved. "Or was that my third husband?" 

The Doctor laughed lightly, "Oh no, don't laugh. I'll get laughter lines." Cassandra scolded him as Aselia nudged him in the ribs, causing him to look over at the girl who was trying to contain her laughter. "Mercy, and here! Another rarity, according to the archives this was called an IPod. It stores classical music from humanity's greatest composers." 

The Doctor started to dance when the music was played through the speakers, "Refreshments will now be served," The host called from his stand causing him to stop. "Earth death, thirty minutes." Aselia watched as Rose evacuated the room with a worried look.

The Doctor looked down at Aselia for a moment, "I'll go look after Rose," He smiled lightly at her in a reassuring manner. "You stay and mingle if you wish." The blonde woman pursed her lips, looking up at him.

"Promise me that you'll look after her, Doctor." He nodded before brushing past her, Aselia watched as he walked away; getting stopped by Jabe who snapped a photo of him which made Aselia even more confused. 

Aselia quietly walked around the room until she stopped beside The face of Boe, "You look as beautiful as I did the day I lost you, star," The Face of Boe communicated, startling her for a moment. "My past is your future, so you haven't met me again yet but remember, you are never alone and I will always be by your side." 

"Star, that's my nickname from someone long gone from my life." She almost sobbed at the mere mention of the nickname. 

"Oh, Aselia. Those we really love, are never really gone. Not really anyway," The room gave a slight shuffle before it went back to normal again. Although, Aselia frowned looking around; seeing the Doctor and Rose return. "Goodbye, Star. We will meet again." 

Aselia gave him a smile before walking over to the two of them, "That wasn't a gravity pocket, I know gravity pockets, and they don't feel like that that," The Doctor complained as Aselia stepped into sink with his steps. "What do you think, Jabe? Listen," He told the three of them. 

"Listen to the engines. They've pitched up 30 hertz," The Doctor explained, as Aselia tried to listen to what he was talking about. The engines sounded weird. "Is that dodgy or what?" He continued to question. 

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

The Doctor frowned for a moment, "Where's the engine room?" 

Jabe shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, but the maintenance duct is just behind our guest suite," She began, eyes darting between the two sisters. "I could show you, your wife and your sister in law." 

Aselia covered her mouth to cover her snort, Rose swatted at her to make her stop laughing although she was struggling to contain her own laughter. "Oh, she's not my wife and she's not my sister in law." The Doctor explained, a light blush forming on his cheeks. 

"Partner?" Jabe questioned, The Doctor shook his head. "Concubine?" 

Aselia droned out of the conversation as pain surged through her head, cupping the sides of her head The Doctor shot her a worried glance while Jabe placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. 

"Aselia," The Doctor's voice finally floated through her ears. "Are you alright?" 

She grumbled for a moment, leaning against the wall in hopes to capture her bearings. "I'm fine, I think," She mumbled, "Excuse me for a moment." She smiled silently before exiting the room. She looked around for the bathroom before seeing an employee. 

"Excuse me," She called out and the worker turned to look at her with a soft smile. "Where is the bathroom, this place is so big that I've seem to have gotten lost." She explained, rubbing her arms gently. 

"Its just down the hall to the right, miss," She grinned, "You were very close. It's your first time here, I'm guessing?" She questioned softly, and Aselia chuckled lightly with a soft smile. 

"Is it that obvious?" She questioned, and the worker nodded. "Whats your name?" 

"Amiriles, miss. I'm a server," She explained before looking at her watch. "I'm sorry, I am late for my next round. Excuse me." She scurried away and Aselia smiled softly before following the instructions that the lady had given her. 

Once inside, Aselia locked the bathroom door and looked at herself in the mirror. "Breath Aselia, he's not like him. He's not going to hurt you." She whispered to herself, closing her eyes as she tried to reassure herself. 

Memories flooded across her senses as she waited for them to go away, the darkness in her mind scared her. Aselia flushed her face with cold water, and then wiped it away. "Okay, you're okay." She whispered to herself before exiting the bathroom. 

She just wished she could just forget.
