"There was a hedge in my way," the Doctor explained. "That's why I wasn't here. I understand there were hedges in your way too and yours and so on. I don't like hedges." That was all there was to say about that. "Don't think this gets you out of your final. I hope you all remembered to wear sensible shoes. You won't be running today, but it's important to get into good habits if you're going to be dealing with this planet on a regular basis. Lots of running usually. Shoes should be sensible." It was reasonable to assume that the Doctor was a bit 'off' today. "You, you aaaaand you," he said, pointing to three students, "stay here and answer your final question. It's a one on one verbal exam. The rest of you go play in the amusement park. Stay away from the hot dogs. I didn't program them quite right." They would taste like pungent cheese. "Make sure you wander back out here before the hour is up to answer your question."

He opened the doors to reveal an amusement park with a Ferris wheel, dodgems, roller coaster and assorted other rides, games and holographic food stands.

"Then your brain is well-fed and ready for action," the Doctor said approvingly. "How would you make sure that a bridge is built safely?"

"If I were responsible for such a thing, I would obtain the services of those who are experienced with architecture to verify the integrity of the structure," Raven answered. "And I would have regular inspections arranged so ensure the structure remains serviceable to the load it is bearing."

"Very responsible. What if you had to do it all on your own?"

"It would not be a very pretty one, since I have no experience in such construction," Raven said thoughtfully. "But I would do my best to make it as secure as possible and test it to make certain it is strong enough to bear my weight. I am much better about building metaphorical bridges between people than physical structures."

"I'm much better at saving the universe than teaching a high school science class, but we all end up doing things we don't expect!" He seemed oddly amused by all of this. "What would be your material of choice?"

"Wood, I think," Raven said. "I am not strong enough to move stone easily, and I do not know how to work with metal."

"You wouldn't mind cutting down the trees?"

"I would rather not if I did not have to," Raven said. "I would merely teleport across a barrier instead."

"Be careful about relying on teleportation," the Doctor warned kindly. "It has a habit of failing you when you need it most."
