Clara is sitting on the stairway with her book. She hears the TARDIS land, the door open, and she smiles and jumps up as the doorbell rings. In the [[TARDIS console room]], she asks about the nature of [[time]] ("not made of [[Strawberry|strawberries]]"), and if the TARDIS can go anywhere ("within reason"). The Doctor asks her where she wants to go, and she freezes, admitting that the breadth of options makes it difficult to think of one. The Doctor prompts her until she smiles and says she wants to see "something awesome". | Clara is sitting on the stairway with her book.

The Doctor walks her out of the TARDIS, with her eyes closed, into the light of an alien sun. He bids her open her eyes so that he can welcome her to the [[Rings of Akhaten]].

He bids her open her eyes so that he can welcome her to the [[Rings of Akhaten]]. A golden [[pyramid]] comes into view. It is the [[Pyramid of the Rings of Akhaten]], a holy site for the [[Sun-singers of Akhet]]. This is a [[star system|system]] of seven [[planet|worlds]], orbiting the same [[star]], and they believe that all life in the [[universe]] originated on [[Akhaten]]. Clara asks to go to it. | ||
They wander an [[alien]] market. The Doctor says that most of the people around are local [[species]], and points out some: some [[Pan-Babylonian]]s, a [[Lugalirakush]], some [[Eukanian]]s, a [[Hooloovoo]] and an [[Ultramanta]]. He does a ritual greeting with a [[Terraberserker]] of the [[Cadonian Belt]], mentioning that they're not common. He says he forgot how much he liked it there — he'd been there a long time ago with [[Susan Foreman|his granddaughter]]. Clara's a bit shocked at this, but the Doctor's moving fast. She runs after him and he presents her with [[Exotic fruit (The Rings of Akhaten)|a glowing blue fruit]]. She takes a bite as he scans it with his screwdriver. She shakes her head at the taste. | They wander an [[alien]] market.
