The Rings of Akhaten [Part 1]

"Not strawberries, that's for sure." Lexi snickered, closing her small pocketbook and putting it in an inside pocket of her long emerald green waterfall Duster coat before crossing her arms as she watched the two companions take in the whole room with unwavering fascination. "I mean, time can't just be made out of strawberries. That'd be unacceptable."

Lucas poked his head into view from the other side of the console, raising an eyebrow in question. "And we can go anywhere?"

"Within reason." The Doctor chuckled as he walked up to stand right beside the console.

"Which it usually is never reasonable." Lexi commented, getting up from the jump-seat she was sitting in to come and stand next to the Doctor.

Clara quickly rushed around the console to stand directly in front of the Doctor and Lexi. "So, basically what you're saying is that we could go anywhere? Like... backwards in time?"

"And space. Yes." The Doctor nodded.

"And forwards in time?" Lucas questioned, now standing directly behind the Doctor and Lexi and making them whirl around to face him.

"And space. Totally." The Doctor nodded at him before twirling around again to press a few buttons on the console.

"Now," Lexi began, a grin spreading across her face as she took a couple steps back to get a better view of Lucas and Clara. "the Doctor and I were not kidding when we said you could go anywhere you'd like. So, where do you want to go and what would you like to see?"

"I have absolutely no idea." Clara suddenly realized, quickly making her look over to Lucas. "Lucas, it's like someone's asking you your favorite book and suddenly you forget every book you've ever read."

"I've never experienced that." Lexi commented, walking in between Clara and Lucas to join the Doctor at the console.

"I think I get it." Lucas said, ignoring Lexi's comment. "I mean, how can you pick somewhere to go when you literally have the whole of time and space at your fingertips?"

"Exactly!" Clara exclaimed, snapping and pointing at her friend.

"Hello!" The Doctor spoke up again, getting their attention. "Back to the question."

"Right." Clara nodded at him before grabbing Lucas's hand bringing him into a huddle so they could talk more privately.

"They really are a pair, aren't they?" Lexi giggled quietly as she and the Doctor watched them.

"Definitely." He agreed with a chuckle before Clara and Lucas suddenly whirled around to face them.

"So, decided?" Lexi questioned, an amused smile on her face.

"It's difficult to make a decision like this." Lucas began. "But, we think we've figured out a term that might just help figure out a place to go and see something we'd like to see."

"And that would be?" The Doctor raised an eyebrow.

Lucas and Clara shared a look before looking back to the Doctor and Lexi.

"Something awesome."

The Doctor and Lexi grinned at them, snapping their fingers before putting the TARDIS in motion.

Outside, Space...

The Doctor excitedly opened the TARDIS doors before holding Clara by the shoulders and ushering her outside as Lexi held onto Lucas's arm while carefully guiding him outside as well.

"Can you both feel the light on your eyelids?" Lexi enquired before shutting the TARDIS door.

"Mm-hm." Clara and Lucas both nodded as they kept their eyes closed.
