I do not own any of the material used in this story other than the storyline and my own character.
"No way Jack!"
"Come on Owen what the hell is your problem?"
Gwen and Ianto were sat in the corner sipping coffee and listening to the argument over the Jacks latest scheme. They had been hesitant at first to go along with it, but Gwen had agreed as long as Rhys could come with them, she wanted them to get to know each other better, and Ianto had agreed after Jack had used his puppy eyes, every time Jack used Ianto swore he would never fall for them again, but he always did.
"Do you remember the last time we went camping Jack?"
"This is different, this is strictly a holiday, no Torchwood and no aliens well one."
"What are you on about, you said no Torchwood."
"I am inviting the Doctor to come with us, I want you to meet him and I know you will like him."
"Not you're precious Doctor, the one you ran off with?"
Tosh had walked into the main area of the hub at that moment and had guessed what they had been talking about, she had only agreed because it meant she could share a tent with Owen, who had finally got the message three weeks earlier.
"He is right Owen, you will like him."
"And you would know how Tosh?"
"Space pig, you would know if you hadn't have had a hangover."
"Anyway Owen the alternative is you stay here on your own and keep Cardiff safe without us."
"Fine, but you owe me big for this."
"Don't worry Owen, you're in the same tent as Tosh."

"No way Doctor!"
"Come on you three, no other spices in the universe goes camping, celebrate your own uniqueness."
"Who the hell told you that?"
"Jack."
"Wait, is he that good looking one in Cardiff?"
"Yes Donna he is."
"Right I am off to pack."
"She will be disappointed when she finds out he has a boyfriend." muttered the Doctor.
"Oh can I invite my family, Granddad would love it?"
"Sure Donna, go ahead."
"Martha, you can bring Tom with you, I want to meet him, should be fun, and the rest of your family if you want."
"What, how the hell am I meant to explain it to them?"
"Well it will save you having to do it at the wedding."
"And what makes you think you invited?"
"I saw the list."
"You were in my bedroom?!"
"No you had it on the computer, I kind off saw the file and opened it up."

"Ow, you have been spending too much time with Donna."
"That made me feel so much better."
"So will you go?"
"Why not I have been meaning to visit Torchwood anyway, need to see how Owen is, and ask about Gwen's wedding."
"What about you Rose?"
"Am I in your tent?"
"If you want to be."
"Ok, should be fun, can Mickey come, I haven't seen him in ages."
"What? Why don't you just go and invite your mum, Pete and Tony as well."
"Fantastic idea, I mean Donna and Martha invited there families, I will just go and ring them."
Rose managed to last the whole five minute walk back to her room, pick up her phone and get half way to the entry marked home before bursting out laughing at the look on the Doctors face. Normally she wouldn't have invited her family but she hadn't seen them in ages and still missed them.

"Camping mum?"
"Yes Luke, camping, out in Whales, about ten miles out of Cardiff, just for a week."
"But why?"
"I want you, Clyde and Maria to meet some friends off mine."
"Why camping though, why not just a party."
"Trust me Luke, if you go camping with somebody you know them much better."
""A week though, it will be boring."
"Trust me, with the Doctor it will not be boring, and we can take K-9, that black hole is finally stable and safe."
"Ok, I will go, but only if both off the others go as well."
"They are going, already asked them while you were out, they both agreed straight away, even Maria's mum and dad are going, maybe it is because the people you are made out off didn't like camping."
