A/N: This is written for the TARDIS forum challenge 'Lucky Dip'. The prompts were: Toshiko Sato and Amy Pond in a supermarket with heated rollers. Not betaed.


When Tosh entered the supermarket after the signal they had had that something wasn't right there, the first thing she felt and noticed was that it was really cold. There were only a few stubborn persistent clients and personal that still refused to leave stoically. She tried to usher them out, tried to tell them that whatever was happening was dangerous and they need to get out. And some of them did listen to her and ran away. But there was the one girl that was ever so curious, it always was like this Tosh thought. There always would be the one person that would be curious of whom Torchwood are or who would love the adrenaline rush and would not listen to reason and would want to stay and have an adventure.

This time it was a ginger haired young girl with really loud mouth. She refused to leave point blank and even told her that Tosh should go away and leave this to the professionals. She said that the Doctor would come soon and would sort it out. Whoever this Doctor was Tosh thought the girl sounded quite delusional in this Doctor's ability to deal with alien invasions. Tosh thought that she had to make sure later that the girl get mental help after the retcon of course. At the moment however Tosh had to deal with a giant ice monster.

She crouched down beside one of the shelves stocked with packed food and bakery. It was as if the frozen food area had decided to extend all over the place, but even that was not enough. There were patched of the walls and shelves that were getting ice on wherever the something that Toshiko could not yet see passed. She dared a look through the gaps and saw the young redhead girl make her way towards the cosmetics and hair care department in the shop. Intrigued and a bit worried for the girl's wellbeing Tosh started to slowly approach her. Tosh made her was carefully around the shelves and reached the girl that now was sorting out through the heated irons, what she was doing this for Tosh didn't know.

"Whatever you are thinking it better be working because you should have been gone out by now." Tosh hissed to the girl not daring to raise her voice in case the ice creature hears her. "What are you planning anyway?"

"Well is an ice creature, it needs cold, yes?" Amy answered her wondering how a woman can lack so much a simple common sense.

"Urr…Yes?" Tosh hissed back.

"Well when we want to do our hair we heat the heated rollers." Amy tried to answer without losing her patience. "So they are rally hot…" She trailed off a moment to let Toshiko to make it out for herself.

"Oh…" Tosh said as it finally downed on her what the girl means.

"Yeah, so let's find a plug and heat these rollers." Amy said with a grin tossing the rollers up in the air and catching them like a weapon. "We can kill two birds with one bullet. We save the day and then do our hair and look great for it."

Tosh stiffed a laugh, she already liked this girl. Carefully crawling on all fours they looked around until they found a plug. Tosh stood up and shouted waving her hands around to get the creature's attention.

"Oi Icy over here, come on I feel a bit hot in here need some ice to cool my down." She tried her best flirt technique; she was so glad that Gwen wasn't here to see how she filed. Maybe she had better left this to the redhead girl.

Amy on her part didn't file to accomplish the desired result plugging the heated rollers into the Ice creature and watched as it melted into a pool of water on the floor.

"Crisis averted, time to get our hair sorted out." Amy grinned at Tosh.
