Chapter 1

Ianto was walking back to the Hub after going to collect lunch for everyone. He was wrapped up warm from the brisk sea breeze. When he entered the Tourist Office he placed the food on the countertop and then hung his coat on the hooks on the wall next to the secret entrance to the Hub. He then opened the secret door and took the lift down to the Hub.

When he walked into the Hub he noticed that everything seemed very quiet. Almost to quiet. He look around suspiciously, he wouldn't be surprised if Owen jumped out on him.

"Hello" he called out.

He saw Jack open his office door and walk out, he noticed that something was different but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Hey Ianto, I'm glad your back, really glad actually" Jack greeted.

"What have you done?" he questions his boss, knowing he only acts like this when he does or has done something wrong.

"What" Jack squeaked very unmanly "I haven't done anything" he defended.

"Jack I know when you're lying, you get very defensive and all jumpy" Ianto said.

"I do not!" Jack scowled at Ianto.

"My point exactly" Ianto smiled, "Where are the others?" he asked.

Jack shuffled uncomfortably and looked at his shoes; Ianto gave him a stern look. "Jack, where are the others" he asked.

"Well the thing about that is… You see its kind of a funny story" he started but the Ianto interrupted.

"Jack" Ianto said sternly taking a step towards him "Where are the others?" he asked. Jack shuffled nervously then he heard a high pitch squeak "What the fuck was that?" he asked turning towards to Jack's office, he glanced back to see a sheepish looking Jack.

There was a gasp as Ianto hadn't been careful about the volume he used followed by a course of "Fuck… Cunt …. Shit… Bast-ouch… ow..ow..ow!" Owen cried as Ianto dragged him out from behind the couch by his ear. Ianto deposited the Owen on the couch. Owen was now about six years old and didn't look at all pleased about his treatment.

"Button it" Ianto told him sternly still trying to get over the shock. He then turned back to Jack "Well I found Owen. Where are Tosh and Gwen?" he asked. Jack looked nervously at his office door.

Ianto then walked to his office door and peaked through the door window, he couldn't see anything so he pushed to door open and went inside. He looked around the office and couldn't see a thing, and then a sound like a mouse scurrying away came from behind the couch. Ianto walked slowly towards the couch. He placed his hands on the back cushions and leaned down to look around the back. What he saw was a smaller version of Tosh and Gwen. Gwen was shielding Tosh as though protecting her.

"Hello" he said, Gwen gave a startled yelp. She hadn't noticed him looking at them although she knew he was there she was busy looking out of the side where they had crawled through to get behind the couch to begin with. She shielded Tosh even more and looked frightened. "Hey it's okay" he said soothing moving to the side of the couch. "Come on out of there you two" he said calmly keeping his voice as happy and inviting as impossible, telling them that he wasn't angry with them.

Gwen still didn't look convinced.

"If you come out I'll get you a lolly" he promised.

Gwen scowled at him 'I may look like a child Ianto Jones but that doesn't mean you have to treat me like one.'

Ianto noticed this and looked at her apologetically. Tosh on the other hand seemed to favour the idea of a lolly and freed herself of Gwen and crawled towards Ianto, once out Ianto picked her up and gave a bone crunching hug, Tosh was his best friend in this place, the one that truly understands him, he isn't going to let her stay like this.

"Anto" she says struggling to breathe. Ianto puts her down and smiles at her and she smiles back "Lolly" she demands stretching her hand. Ianto smiles down at her.

"I've got some in my desk, let's go get one" he says making his way to the door, he opens it and Tosh walks through, "You're not going to stay in here alone are you" he says to Gwen who is still behind the couch. Although she wants to be brave like she is against all the aliens she decides that she doesn't and hurriedly gets out from behind the couch and out of the office.

In the Hub Owen was sitting on the couch where Ianto had left him, still sulking, Tosh was standing by his desk expectedly. Ianto walked towards her with Gwen trailing behind. He opened his top draw and gave the treats to Gwen and Tosh. They both said thanks and opened their sweets. Ianto noticed Owen looking over at the group a hopeful look on his face.

"C'mon then you too" Ianto said to him.

Owen beamed and climbed off the couch and hurried to select his treat, he muttered thanks and went and sat on the couch to eat it.

"Right you three stay there, I need a word with Jack" he said looking at Jack who looked nervous. He started to walk towards his boss's office "Your office now" he said sternly. He then walked into the office standing so he could keep an eye on the other three through the glass windows. Jack stood like the employee that has been summoned to the boss's office rather than the boss himself.

"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Ianto said sternly.

Jack looked at his feet in shame he really didn't want to tell Ianto what had happened before hand to lead to the current situation. Anyway what gave him the right to talk to him like this, he is the boss, and he is the leader the man that makes the hard decisions, so why was he being talked to like a disobedient child. "Nothing happened" he answered staring at his shoes.

"Really? So outside is Owen, Tosh and Gwen six year old doppelgängers then?" Ianto asked "care to point out where the others have gone then, if that's not them."

"Not really" he said to his shoes still refusing to meet his eyes.

Ianto narrowed his eyes at him, he is such a child. He smirks "Fine, go outside and keep an eye on those three." He said, Jack quickly got out of the office and into the main hub, he didn't know why he doesn't just tell Ianto what happened he's going to find out anyway.

Back in the office Ianto was logging into Jack's computer he is going to look at the CCTV to see what happened. He watched from when he left to collect lunch. Jack was stood fiddling with an unidentified object at an empty work station whilst the others sat at their desks doing work, well Tosh and Gwen were, Owen looked like he was playing solitaire. Jack was still turning the object around trying to figure it out. He then pushed a button on the side, initially nothing happened but then a widespread beam of light shot out towards the three employees, Jack jumped from the machine with a yelp.

Thirty seconds later six year olds were sat in the chair adults had occupied moments earlier. They all froze from shock. When they caught sight of each other they all looked shocked. Tosh immediately sprang down and ran around in a panic, Owen jumped down and started to cause trouble, Gwen climbed down calmly and sent Jack a scowl, who was frozen in shock, she then went after Tosh who had ran into his office. Owen had pulled the cushions off the couch and throwing them around. Jack then heard the tourist office secret door open and quickly put the cushions back. Owen then ran around the back as the alarms blared and Ianto walked through the cog door.

Ianto ran a hand over a hand over his face. 'Typical Jack, he can't leave anything alone' he thinks. "Jack" he calls. A moment later Jack walks through the door looking sheepish. Ianto looks at him sternly and says "You just can't leave things alone can you Jack?" he asks a slight smile on his face.

"Sorry" he mumbles.

"C'mon" he says and walks to Jack and takes hold of him around the waist and gesturing for him to walk through the office door he was holding open.
