Title: The Thing In Wesley’s Shed

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto, OC Wesley

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 288, Week 3 – Reverse fandom – Last of the Summer Wine at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: A Cardiff citizen finds something strange in his shed one day.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: Episode title = drabble title. It’s just easier that way.

One morning, Wesley found a thing in his shed. It hadn’t been there the night before, he was sure. It was green and purple, went ‘ping, ping, blip’ and bounced up and down.

Being the cautious sort, Wesley called the police.

A constable came, looked at the thing and then called Torchwood.

Two blokes arrived in a big black car. Wesley showed them the thing.

“Haven’t seen one of those in years!” said one. They thanked Wesley and left, taking the thing with them.

Wesley just shrugged.

“Can’t be having strange things in my shed, what would the wife think?”

The End

Ta for the chuckle

You're welcome, and thank you!

and what would the thing be?

[bk_forever]

Jack seems to know, but he's not telling, lol!

(I suspect it's probably an alien toy though!)

I assume that was Jack who was so excited? I wonder why... ;)

Great drabble! :)

[bk_forever]

Yes, that was Jack! I suspect he's just pleased to find it's something harmless for a change. I'm sure the Rift drops things in very strange places at times, and they're not always nice things!

Thank you!

It's a sex toy, isn't it? Come on, admit it.

[bk_forever]

Why would a sex toy bounce up and down?

Even if it's not, Jack probably knows a way to use it as one, lol!

LOL loved this.

[bk_forever]

Thank you. It has been suggested that the thing could be a green and purple Spoink - I like that idea...

Blimey thats so cute.

[bk_forever]

Isn't it though? I think that must be what the thing in the shed was!

[timelordshines.livejournal.com]

Lol :-)
How does Jack always know what stuff is?

[bk_forever]

Well, he grew up in the future, he's been around a bit with the Time gency and the with the Doctor so I guess he's seen a lot. Maybe there are a lot of these Things in the future, LOL!

Thank you!

Good thing Torchwood took it away before the Mrs. found out. Domestic crisis averted!

Some victories are smaller than others, but no less important to those involved. :)

[bk_forever]

Very true, on both counts. I think Wesley's missus might be of a nervous disposition and inclined to freak out slightly.

Jack and Ianto, however, are happy with their new aquisition - which may or may not be a Spoink (see the link in one of my replies here).

Thank you!

Made me grin!!

[bk_forever]

Thank you! I was hoping to make people grin.

Can't have the missus finding odd things in the shed now.

[bk_forever]

Definitely not, she'd throw a fit! The missus likes everything in its place, and the place for odd things is NOT their shed. ;)

Thank you!
