The Doctor stepped out of the door of the TARDIS, 'Mmm' he said quickly, 'Definitely not New York'

Amy stood behind him, 'so why've you brought us here?' she asked.

'I haven't. The TARDIS has' he responded slowly, 'and I have no idea where here is'

The TARDIS had landed in the middle of a forest. Brambles, nettles and other foliage covered the floor and twigs whilst trees provided a canopy that occasionally broke to show bright blue sky, 'Ooo, you don't know where here is. Surprise' Amy said sarcastically, 'even I can tell you its not New York'

'Definitely not New York' he responded, 'unless its New York before it was New York or New York after it was New York. No can't be, the trees are wrong. Not New York'

As they walked twigs broke under their feet, 'I hope you know what your doing here' Amy called as she picked her way gently through the undergrowth behind him, 'oww' she added as a bramble caught her leg.

'Keep up Pond' the Doctor called as he emerged from the woods onto a gravel path. Opposite him was a small wall dividing the path from what appeared to be a flooded quarry,

Amy emerged behind him, 'this better be good' she exclaimed before seeing the lake, 'we're in a gravel pit. Why are we in a gravel pit?'

'Why not be in a gravel pit' the Doctor responded walking over to the wall and looking over, 'you might be able to find some cool stuff in a gravel pit'

'Yeah. If you're a bird watcher!'

'There is nothing wrong with bird watching Pond. Bird watching is cool' the Doctor said turning to her, 'Amy don't move'

She stopped dead, 'what' she said, 'what's happened'

Behind her was a giant bear, bigger than any bear that the Doctor had seen before. Unlike the bears he had experienced before it stood there silent and still, not even looking like it was making an effort. Slowly he walked towards it, 'Doctor what is it?' Amy said, still stood in the same spot.

'A bear' he replied as he reached the foot of it, 'A giant bear', he smiled as he prodded it, 'a giant plastic bear. Bit like Rupert but bigger and more plastic'

Amy turned to him and gasped at the giant plastic bear, 'Why is there a giant plastic bear here?' she asked

The Doctor was now examining it with his sonic screwdriver, its shrill noise and green glow making this activity even more obvious than it already was by the movement of his arms, 'Its nothing strange' he said eventually whilst putting the screwdriver away, 'just a giant plastic bear'

'It's a giant plastic bear! How is that not strange!'

'Think of Gnomes Amy. They're small people you put in your garden. They aren't strange. So what's the difference between a small gnome in your small garden and a large plastic bear in your large gravel pit'

Amy couldn't work this one out, 'I still think its weird'

He pushed the bear again 'Ok Rupert, I suppose we better go and find out why you're here' he told the giant plastic animal before walking over to rejoin Amy, 'which way then Pond?' he added

'That way' Amy said pointing to her left

'Why that way? What's that way'

'According to that sign', she pointed to wooden sign with directions on, 'a visitors centre'

The Doctor smiled, 'I wonder if they have a shop' he muttered as they headed off in the direction of the visitors centre.
