Spoilers: None.

Summary: It’s Christmas, and the Rift is apparently in a giving mood…
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Part 3 of ‘The Twelve Days of Riftmas’. Still stuck on Part 12, and not sure about part 8...
The Second Day…On the third day of Christmas, the police called again. They’d picked up three very confused young ladies who claimed to have been in France only moments before.
Naturally, Owen volunteered to go and collect them.
Jack sent Tosh, who brought them to the tourist office.
“So, what seems to be the problem?” he asked.
“According to Sabine, Odette and Denise, they were at their friend’s hen party in Rouen,” said Tosh.
“Of course they were,” sighed Ianto.
“Anyway, there was a bright light and suddenly they found themselves in Cardiff. They’ve also jumped approximately 17 years into the future.”
TBC in ‘The Fourth Day…’

LJ is being annoying, I'd had no notifications of comments today, I thought no one was reading this.

Date: 2013-12-20 11:07 pm (UTC)Yep, Ianto knows what's going on, even if he has no idea WHY the Rift is sending them Christmas 'gifts'. Torchwood will probably never find an explanation for the strange behaviour either. It's one of the unsolveable mysteries of life on the Rift.
Thank you!

Date: 2013-12-20 09:18 pm (UTC)Just one minor thing, though. About the first names, Odette is a bit old-fashioned name and I don't think there were still a lot of young women called this way in the late 90'. (the funny thing is that Denise is my godmother's name and Odette is the name of my husband's granny) :D Can't wait to read more.

Date: 2013-12-20 11:18 pm (UTC)Jack's not letting Owen get any time alone with the French girls. At least no until he's sure they're going to remain in this time period.
Thank you.

Date: 2013-12-25 11:17 pm (UTC)Well, they're French and they were at a hen party (a party for the bride-to-be before the wedding), so the Rift thought that was close enough.
Thank you.
