Title: A Traditional Boxing Day

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto, unexpected visitors

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 323 – Unexpected Visitors at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Doesn’t everyone get unexpected visitors at Christmas?

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

Jack and Ianto sprawled on the sofa, watching some daft movie while dinner was cooking. It was Boxing Day, the day when there’s still more than half the turkey left, but that’s fine because no one’s tired of eating it yet.

Christmas was perfect this year, just the two of them enjoying a few days off and being traditionally festive, with crackers, paper hats and bad jokes.

The peace was abruptly shattered by a familiar sound as the TARDIS materialised and the Doctor burst out, his latest companion in tow.

“Merry Christmas!”

Ianto raised an eyebrow. “You’re a day late!”

The End

Lol, it's not often that Ianto misses the point, but the Doctor gave them his best present by NOT turning up on Christmas Day and yelling RUUUUUUN !!

Lol typical Doctor.

great drabble.

LOL! Good point! Then again, maybe it IS just a slightly overdue social call - you can never really be sure with the Doctor, not with the way he tends to attract trouble!

Thank you!

[bk_forever]

Never can get the timing right, can he?

Thank you!

Of course the Doctor is late! It's just like him! *laughs*

hahahahaha he will never get it right!

For a Time Lord, the Doctor just never seems to tell time correctly... wonder how much influence the TARDIS has on that? :D Good to see the boys just lazing!

[bk_forever]

It's possible the TARDIS delayed their arrival on purpose so the boys could enjoy a quiet Christmas day... ;)

Thank you!

[bk_forever]

At least he's only a little late and not a whole year... probably. Maybe. LOL! I don't think anyone is entirely sure WHEN he intended to get there, including the Doctor. Maybe the TARDIS knows.

Thank you!

[bk_forever]

He's very good at being late, but then he's had a lot of practice ;)

Whoops, the Doctor's calculations were a little off again! Well, it's the thought that counts! ;)

[bk_forever]

At least the boys got Christmas Day to themselves!

Thank you!

He never was any good at timing!
But at least he was only a day late, not five weeks late. Oops!

[bk_forever]

*laughs* Well, he has an unfair advantage, he has a TARDIS! Not that it helps him arrive on time, lol!

Thank you!
