Drabble: Green Fluff

Title: Green Fluff

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Nosy, Meriel.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 339: Green at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: Leaving a toddler unattended is a bad idea, even if you have a Fluff as a childminder.

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

Ianto followed the trail of green fluff through the apartment with increasing concern. Nosy shouldn’t be moulting, and anyway, it always cleaned up after itself. Ianto suspected that it sometimes shed deliberately just because it liked using the vacuum cleaner.

Hearing a whirring noise he followed it, passing more clumps of fur, until he reached Nosy’s room, where the tattered, frazzled Fluff had taken refuge on its top bunk.

Meriel sat on the floor, clutching Jack’s razor. With her intended victim out of reach, the eighteen-month-old was busily shaving the carpet.

Ianto closed his eyes. “I’m going to kill Jack!”

The End

Beware a toddler with a razor - especially Fluffs! LOL!!

[bk_forever]

Poor Nosy, every time it hears a razor now, it'll hide!

Thank you!

* looks confused *

Going to kill Jack for getting pregnant?

[bk_forever]

Going to kill Jack for leaving his razor where Meriel could get it, resulting in a Fluff with bald patches and shaved carpet.

Thank you.

Ah, reminds me of being told off for cutting my own hair (and terrorising pets). Parents everywhere go through the same things regardless of immortality or alieness it seems!

[bk_forever]

Toddlers will get into anything, especially things they shouldn't!

Thank you!

OOH Jack is in trouble now.

great drabble.

[bk_forever]

He really is, and he won't be pleased with himself either when he sees Nosy's bald spots and the bare patch of carpet.

Thank you.

Oh, poor Nosy! It will look like it has the mange...Jack is in for it now

[bk_forever]

Believe it! He'll be so upset about Nosy's bald spots he'll be fussing over his Fluff like a mother hen. Ianto will barely need to punish him.

Thank you.

Poor Jack, he'd better start running ....!
ohhhhh Nosy, how bad did the "naughty" Meriel leave you? Hug?

[bk_forever]

There are fluffless patches all over poor Nosy. It seems Nosy's dignity is suffering the way Ianto's so often does.Thankfully, the fluff will grow back. Jack is going to be horrified when he sees Nosy though. He'll never leave his razor lying around again.

Thank you!

I think Jack's in for a lot of decaf!

[bk_forever]

His own feeling of guilt is almost punishment enough, but yeah, there will be decaf!

Thak you!

Uh oh. Jack should know to put things like that on a high shelf. Although if Meriel takes after Jack I'm sure she will always find some way to cause trouble...

[bk_forever]

It's probably genetic *grins*

Jack didn't think Meriel could reach, but she also inherited Ianto's problem-solving skills.

Thank you!

poor Nosy.
Meriel is a little girl sacred. I must say it runs in the family!

[bk_forever]

She didn't mean any harm, but poor Nosy is paying the price.

Thank you!
