Detention of Doom, or It Just Wouldn't Be Doctor Who If the Doctor Didn't Get Separated from His Companions at Some Point, Would It?

At any rate, they arrived in the hallway. They were alone except for a few students of various species (he even spotted a Klingon somewhere) who were walking by, trying to pretend not to notice.

"You have ruined my class!" said the teacher again, in his monotone. "I am the teacher here, not you."

"But surely even you don't think you know everything?" said the Doctor. "You'd think people like you would be open to a bit of new knowledge. I thought your job was to help people learn. Or do you merely feel it is to waste their time? Oh wait, clearly you do."

"Silence. You are being insolent. I'll have to talk to this with the assistant principle--here he comes now."

Nothing could have prepared the Doctor for the sight of the assistant principle. It wasn't human at all--in fact, it was a Dalek! " WHAT IS THE PROB-LEM?" said the Dalek in its squawky computer voice.

"This student is being insolent! He tried to take the chalk from my hands and--and he actually thought he knew more than I did! He needs to be punished!"

"I A-GREE!" said the Dalek. "YOU WILL RE-CIEVE A DE-TEN-TION! DE-TEN-TION! DE-TEN-TION! YOU WILL O-BEY! "

"Ha ha ha ha ha," said the assistant principle in what would be inhuman glee if it weren't still in his monotone.

Suddenly, a strange wail rang throughout the hallway. The teacher gasped and the Dalek squawked in surprise. "What would that be?" asked the Doctor. "A fire drill?"

"This is a chaos energy alarm," said the teacher. "We could all die."

1. "WE MUST PERFORM A QUIRK-A-FLEEG!" shouted the Dalek.
2. The plight of the companions.
