The doors to the TARDIS fling open and laughing wildly Amy Pond runs inside the little blue box stopping to rest on a rail holding her aching side. The Doctor runs in next, breathing hard slamming the TARDIS doors shut as he gets in. Running up to the console the vastly clever Doctor now starts bashing and flicking controls with his fingers bringing the TARDIS to life. Amy watches him run around his circular console with a big smile on her face at the look of pure concentration on his. Flicking his long brown hair from his eyes and twanging his braces back into his chest the Doctor pulls a lever up and the TARDIS swings violently to the left and the noise of time and space whirls through the bigger on the inside spaceship as once again it disappears and sets off. Only now does the Doctor swing his head round and stare at his red headed companion. Amy is still smiling until she can see the look of anger painted across the Doctor's face and this makes her frown.
"What?" She asks in her brisk Scottish accent.
"You insulted an entire race of people back there, made fun of their myths right to all their faces on their biggest festival of the year," The Doctor says trying to control his anger, eyes still burning a hole though Amy.
"Yeah so it doesn't matter, does it? They are just aliens aren't they," Amy says, deeply uninterested rubbing her hands across the TARDIS console.
"Well I have never met such a narrow minded, stupid little ape in my years in time and space," The Doctor rages slipping his jacket off pacing around looking incensed.
"Hey, hey that's not very nice," Amy pouts but this just sets the Doctor off even more pacing around the TARDIS circular console running his hands maniacally though his long hair.
"I've half a mind Amelia Pond to take you and dump you right back where I found you," The Doctor says, punching buttons on the control making the whole ship shake violently to one side.
Holding onto the console Amy looks up in rage, "You can't take me back I've waited my whole life to be here you promised," Amy says reminding the Doctor of the promise he made back when she was 9 on her front lawn that he would be right back.
"Times change," The Doctor says in an unusually evil tone as the TARDIS swings left again and both have to hang on for their lives.
"You can't insult anything, you can't view things as inferior to yourself and most of all you can't pick on someone for their ears," The Doctor says his mind swinging back to all of Amy's jokes about Dyrons having 18 small blue ears on the side of their heads.
The TARDIS rocks to the side again and Amy loses grip on the console and slams down hard onto the floor. When she looks up she sees the Doctor, the big old cuddly imaginary friend whose eyes are burning with rage and Amy for the first time understands why so many races and creatures fear this skinny little man.
"I'm sorry I was wrong," Amy says in a low voice as the Doctor stands over her looking enraged.
"No sorry Amelia I was wrong you're not cut out for space travel I'm taking you home," The Doctor says with almost a touch of sadness in his voice as he turns poking at all the funny little buttons on the console.
Angry builds up inside Amy again as she pulls herself to her feet and gets right in the Doctor's face staring him down as she starts yelling, "Oh yeah well you're wrong I'm not sorry you have no right to tell me how to act you're not my father."
The Doctor stands back as the fiery redhead screams remembering to make a mental note about her father then turning to the problem in hand, "Well I might not be but your attitude stinks you need teaching, you need to learn Pond or all this is for nothing."
He sets off walking round the console but Amy follows him like a bratty kid carrying on the argument, "I need teaching about what? you can do nothing to help me, four shrinks my aunt sent me too none of them worked face it oh great and powerful Doctor," She says in a sing-song sarcastic voice, "I am broken, I need discipline, punishment and there is nothing you can do to give me that."
"Face it Doctor you can't save me I'll be this insulting angry little girl forever," Amy says a little sad understanding what she has done and how her actions upset her Doctor.
Wheeling round the Doctor has a flashback to Earth and the long years spent stuck in exile on the planet, the things he learnt about humans he would be the first to admit his education on Earth things isn't foolproof but maybe he knew enough to fix Amelia.
"Ok then Pond," He says, "You want to be punished yet learn a valuable lesson?" The Doctor asks getting a nod from Amy.
He smiles finally in a small crack in his mind he finds the information he was looking for, those videos and magazines the Brigadier had on disciplining Earth girls is just perfect to be used on Amy and sort her out. The number of women the Doctor saw being punished by the Brigadier and how well-mannered and happy they all were to take the punishment.
"Ok Amy I know just what to do," The Doctor says grinning grabbing Amy by the wrist and Amy follows him wondering what the hell aliens do to discipline people.
The Doctor leads Amy over to the leather seat on one side of the control room and sits down on it but as Amy moves to sit on the side he stops her and points to his lap.
"What, you want me to sit on your lap like Santa Claus?" Amy asks, a little confused.
"No," the Doctor says exasperated, "You lie on my lap like this," he pulls her down bending young Miss Pond over his seated knees sticking her ass in the air.
