A/N and this one was actually fun, because I think this is probably what was going through Rose's mind at this moment.

(Rose and the Doctor are walking into another room this one has display cases on it, and a backdrop of planet earth from space.)

Computer: Shuttles five and six now docking. Guests are reminded that Platform One forbids the use of weapons, teleportation and religion. Earth Death is scheduled for fifteen thirty nine
Followed by drinks in the Manchester Suite.

Rose: So, when it says guests, does that mean people?

Doctor: Depends what you mean by people.

Rose: I mean people. What do you mean?

Doctor: Aliens.

Rose: What are they doing on board this spaceship? What's it all for?

Doctor: It's not really a spaceship, more like an observation deck. The great and the good are gathering to watch the planet burn.

Rose: What for?

Doctor: Fun.

Doctor: Mind you, when I said the great and the good, what I mean is, the rich.

ROSE: But, hold on. They did this once on Newsround Extra. The sun expanding, that takes hundreds of years.

DOCTOR: Millions, but the planet's now property of the National Trust. They've been keeping it preserved. See down there? Gravity satellites holding back the sun.

ROSE: The planet looks the same as ever. I thought the continents shifted and things.

DOCTOR: They did, and the Trust shifted them back. That's a classic Earth. But now the money's run out, nature takes over.

ROSE: How long's it got?

DOCTOR: About half an hour and then the planet gets roasted.

ROSE: Is that why we're here? I mean, is that what you do? Jump in at the last minute and save the Earth?

DOCTOR: I'm not saving it. Time's up.

ROSE: But what about the people?

DOCTOR: It's empty. They're all gone. No one left.

ROSE: Just me, then.

(A blue-skinned person with golden slit eyes strides towards them.)

STEWARD: Who the hell are you?

DOCTOR: Oh, that's nice, thanks.

STEWARD: But how did you get in? This is a maximum hospitality zone. The guests have disembarked. They're on their way any second now.

DOCTOR: That's me. I'm a guest. Look, I've got an invitation. Look. There, you see? It's fine, you see? The Doctor plus one. I'm the Doctor, this is Rose Tyler. She's my plus one. Is that all right?

(The Doctor puts away the piece of apparently blank paper he was showing to the steward.)

STEWARD: Well, obviously. Apologies, et cetera. If you're on board, we'd better start. Enjoy.

(The Steward goes over to a lecturn.)

DOCTOR: The paper's slightly psychic. It shows them whatever I want them to see. Saves a lot of time.

ROSE: He's blue.

DOCTOR: Yeah.

ROSE: Okay.

STEWARD: We have in attendance the Doctor and Rose Tyler. Thank you. All staff to their positions.

(people that look rather odd start coming out onto the stage, and Rose looks around in shock, and music, People are Strange by Echo & The Bunnymen)

Rose: people are strange
When you're a stranger
faces look ugly
When you'r far from home

aliens seem wicked
when you're unprepared
floors are uneven
when you're floored

when you're strange
faces are blue or colored coal
when you're strange
no one remembers your name
when you're strange
when they're strange
when you're strange

(a tree comes u and hands Rose and the Doctor a clipping, and the Doctor pats his pockets, then shrugs and breathes on the tree)

Rose: people are strange
When you're a stranger
faces look ugly
When you'r far from home

aliens seem wicked
when you're unprepared
floors are uneven
when you're floored

when you're strange
faces are blue or colored coal
when you're strange
no one remembers your name
when you're strange
when they're strange
when you're strange

(a blue thing in a chair rolls up and spits on Rose and the Doctor, and the Doctor breathes on him)

Rose: when you're strange
faces are blue or colored coal
when you're strange
no one remembers your name
when you're strange
when they're strange
when you're strange

(things in big black cloaks that look like monks come up, and hand them silver balls)

Rose: people are strange
When you're a stranger
faces look ugly
When you'r far from home

aliens seem wicked
when you're unprepared
floors are uneven
when you're floored

when you're strange
faces are blue or colored coal
when you're strange
no one remembers your name
when you're strange
when they're strange
when you're strange

(Next the strangest thing yet come out, and the music fades. It's A face in a piece of thin skin stretched in a rectangular frame is wheeled in by two men hidden in top-to-toe hospital whites.)
