Three thousand years later, [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] arrives on a seemingly abandoned space ship. The Doctor discovers that as well as being in a state of disrepair the ship is generating extreme excesses of power even though the space ship is stationary. "Enough to punch a hole in the universe," he comments. Shortly afterwards, The Doctor, Rose and Mickey, who is on his first trip in the TARDIS, find an 18th century fireplace. Although the other side of the fireplace should be the outer hull of the ship, there appears to be another room with a little girl. The girl informs the Doctor that she is in her bedroom, in [[Paris]], and that the year is [[1727]]. When Mickey comments that the Doctor said that they were supposed to be in the 51st century, the Doctor explains that due to the large excess of power that can "punch a hole in the universe" there is a "magic door" between them in the 51st century and Reinette in 1727. When Mickey asks about how he can understand French, Rose explains that the TARDIS translates languages.
