A/N: Catch that reference!

Scenic Route

It’s a slow, slow day, and when the fifth argument between Owen and Tosh is really hitting its stride, Ianto watches Jack snap.

He storms out of his office, grabbing his coat on the way, and shouts, “Ianto, with me.”

Ianto quite literally drops everything (only on the coffee table, though, and it’s not as if the expense reports are fragile) and leaps to obey, hastening after Jack as Gwen looks round and asks hurriedly, “Wait, where are you going?”

“There’s a train trapped in the sidings over by Swansea,” Jack tells her, still moving for the door and drawing Ianto into his wake. “Heavy fluff from Saturn’s formed an impenetrable casing around the driver’s brain. We’ll be back as soon as we’ve chipped it off.”

Ianto bites the inside of his cheek and manages to keep a straight face as the cog door rolls shut behind them, cutting off the others’ confused protests and giving him and Jack time to escape into the lift. There’s silence as they head up and out, then Ianto leads the way to his car rather than the SUV, and waits until Jack’s in beside him and putting on his seatbelt before he asks, “So, where are we going?”

Jack gives him an innocent look, and Ianto shakes his head, smiling slightly as he starts the engine and pulls out.

“You’ve been watching my Bill Bailey DVDs again,” he notes, and Jack relaxes at last, settling back and grinning at him.

“You know, I can’t believe they fell for that,” he says thoughtfully, and Ianto rolls his eyes.

“I can’t believe you tried it. What next? Ewoks stampeding Cardiff Castle? Klingons in Newport?”

Jack shrugs, and closes his eyes as Ianto tucks the car into the flow of traffic leaving the city.

“Sometimes I figure they’d believe me.”

“Only for a second,” Ianto promises him, then asks again, “Where are we going?”

“You choose,” Jack tells him. “Somewhere different.”

“You need a change of scenery,” Ianto agrees, and adjusts his course accordingly. “I’ll find you somewhere with a nice view.”

Jack opens his eyes and turns his head to look at him, and says easily, “The best view Wales has to offer is the one I brought with me.”

“Flirt,” Ianto says, blushing. But he smiles all the same.

Three blokes go into a pub. One of them is a little bit stupid, and the whole scene unfolds with a tedious inevitability. Hehe, I love Bill Bailey.

Great and funny and sweet :-)

Three blind mice walk into a pub - but they are unaware of their surroundings and to derive humour from it would be exploitative.

XD The man is a genius. And a ridiculously accomplished musician, too. ^_^

I'm very glad you liked it. Thanke most kindly. ;)

(: Cool. By the time we (my brother's a fan too) found out about the tour he was sold out. We'll catch him one day, though! Until then we'll just have to memorise the DVDs. ^_^

It's closer... but can't go either... I think the expenses would be about U$ 2000 or something like it, maybe more +_+

“Heavy fluff from Saturn’s formed an impenetrable casing around the driver’s brain. We’ll be back as soon as we’ve chipped it off.”

I snorted with laughter when I read that. Bill Bailey for the win!

Bill Bailey is fantastic. ;) So very random.

Awh. I think you actually have as well. (Maybe the Thirty Flavours...?) Just one a day from now on, then... (:

I'm very glad you've been enjoying them all so much, thank you.
