Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 492: Fake at tw100.

A/N: Double drabble.





“When Owen gets in, would you ask him to take a look at Smiley? He seems a bit down in the mouth and I want to be sure he’s not ailing,” Ianto said, setting Jack’s coffee in front of him, along with a plate of bacon butties for breakfast. The big-mouthed alien was a new arrival and Ianto was still trying to figure out what it needed to thrive.


Jack shook his head. “Sorry, you might have to figure out Smiley’s problem for yourself; Owen called in sick a little while ago.”


Ianto frowned, hands on hips. “Really? Well you can just call him right back and tell him to get his arse in here right away. He’s not sick, I saw him not twenty minutes ago queuing up outside the box office and he looked the picture of health to me.”


“The box office? You’re sure it was Owen?”


“Positive. Tickets for the computer game convention he’s been on about go on sale today. He’s probably been queuing all night; he’s right up near the front.”


Jack sat up straight. “The fake! And here I was feeling sorry for him!”


Ianto smirked. That would teach Owen not to lie.



The End

Owen really does deserve all he gets, because he only needed to make Tosh a cup of tea and ask nicely, and she would have hacked into the system and got him priority ticketing - properly paid for, of course - all from the comfort of the hub and no sleep lost.

Good point. Owen really should show Tosh more appreciation; then he could benefit from her friendship in ways he can't even begin to imagine.

Thank you!

OMG! this Owen should know that the almighty Ianto would see him anywhere and even smell his lies ...

[bk_forever]

Bang goes his chance of getting tickets; Jack will demand he comes to the Hub immediately.

Thank you!

I bet Owen will feel bad for getting caught.

[bk_forever]

Only because he'll miss out on tickets now. If he'd told the truth there wouldn't have been a problem.

Thank you!

Oh dear Owens in trouble.

great drabble

[bk_forever]

Yup! He should've told the truth. Jack would have said it was fine, and to get in as soon as he'd got his tickets.

Thank you!

Silly Owen, if he'd asked they'd have helped him get tickets .Ianto was bound to catch him out - and tell Jack

[bk_forever]

Of course there was no way he'd get away with lying, lol!

One day maybe he'll learn that honesty is the best policy.

Thank you!

Lol, not as sick as he's about to feel when he discovers Ianto sold him up the river!

[bk_forever]

And it's all his own fault. If he'd been honest there wouldn't be a problem!

Thank you!
