"Why are we leaving Gwen behind again?" Tosh asked, giving a blank look at Owen.
"Because someone needs to…watch stuff," Owen replied airily, shrugging. "Just in case something bad happens."
"Nothing bad can happen. You're not there," Ianto pointed out, receiving a glare from Owen.
"Shut it, Tea Boy."
"Children, children," Jack said, holding his hands up in surrender. "Stop bickering or I'll have to punish you both."
"And you would love that, Sir," Ianto muttered, climbing into the SUV, ignoring the blatant look Jack was giving him.
"Ok, ok, too much," Owen said, shuddering and jumping into the SUV behind Ianto. Tosh looked at the machine in her hand as she sat inside and all the doors closed.
"Just trying to lighten the atmosphere," Jack muttered, sitting in the driving seat and starting up the SUV.
"Yeah, well, don't. I don't need to know what you and him get up to in your free time," Owen said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh, I could you tell you a few things!" Jack said, laughing. Ianto glared at him and he quietened down. "Which I won't. Of course. Never. Secret."
"Right," Ianto said, nodding.
"Gwen's not happy about being left behind, is she?" Tosh asked, making Owen sigh. "What? I'm just saying."
"Forget about Gwen. She'll be fine. Quit worrying, Tosh," Owen said, leaning back in the chair as they drove along.
"Ok. Ok. I will."
"Good."
"Yes."
"Uh huh."
"So…"
There was silence.
"Who would win in a fight? Barbie or Stacey?"
"What the hell, Jack?" Owen asked, giving him a completely confused look.
"What? Filling the silence."
"I think Barbie. She's older," Ianto said, shrugging.
"I don't know. Stacey's got that athletic look about her. She'd be pretty strong," Jack replied, shaking his head.
"Barbie wouldn't fight, it would be Ken for her," Tosh pointed out.
"There's a point."
"Why am I surrounded by a group of complete nutcases?"
"Aw, but you love us Owen," Jack said, winking at him.
"No, really, I don't."
"Yes you do."
"No I don't."
"Yes."
"No."
"No."
"Yes!"
"Ha! Got you!" Jack said, laughing.
Owen sighed. "Childish, Jack, very childish."
"Shall we play a game?"
"We're on our way to check out Rift activity, and you want to play a game?" Owen said, shaking his head.
"Well, it…passes the time. It is an hour away, after all," Ianto said, shrugging his shoulders.
"How about I-Spy?" Jack suggested, receiving an enthusiastic nod from Tosh and Ianto.
"I am surrounded by children. God help me," Owen muttered, putting his head in his hands.
