It was unusually lovely weather for Cardiff, and everyone was in a good mood. People walking in the streets, chatting to people they wouldn't normally talk to. People were sunbathing in their gardens, people having parties and drinking at 1pm in the afternoon. However, Jack, Ianto, Tosh, Gwen and Owen were stuck in the Hub, working. No one was too happy about it, either.
'Pina colada?' Ianto asked the team as he walked past.
'You've honestly made pina coladas for everyone?' Owen asked skeptically.
'Well.. no. But that would lighten the mood in here, wouldn't it?' Ianto replied, looking round the Hub at everyone's spiritless faces.
'I'd be up for it if I could drink', Owen announced.
'Why don't you?' Tosh asked Ianto, who was surprised she was listening, as her face read no indication of attentiveness whatsoever.
'I don't think Jack would be too happy if he came out of his office to find us all pissed.'
'Good point', Tosh replied.
'Although I could pop down to the shops and pick up some lemonade and little umbrellas', Ianto thought aloud.
'Class at its best', Owen commented, smirking.
'I like the idea', Tosh smiled. 'What do you think, Gwen?'
'Eh?' Gwen was nodding off at her desk.
'Ianto was thinking about buying some lemonade and little umbrellas from the shop, what do you think?' Owen asked Gwen, holding in laughter.
Owen eventually burst out with laughter when he saw that Gwen's reaction, too, was laughter.
When they'd both calmed down, Gwen eventually admitted 'actually that's not a bad idea. It would lighten the mood up, at least.'
Ianto returned 15 minutes later with a large bottle of lemonade and a small tub of mini-umbrellas.
He then brought 2 glasses out, one with a green umbrella and one with a pink.
'Gwen', Ianto said as he handed her the one with the green umbrella.
'Thankyou', Gwen said excitedly. Ianto then handed the second glass to Tosh.
'Thanks, Ianto. Was the shop busy?' she asked him.
'Actually, it was. It was full of people buying this new drink.. Everyone seems obsessed with it. It's called.. err.. Limezop', Ianto told them.
'That's weird; I saw that on the news last night. It's this new huge thing, sold only in the UK. They've already been sold to over a million people... People can't get enough of it', Gwen said, sounding suspicious.
'Obviously people love it', Tosh remarked.
'I'd love to know what's in it, just so I can see what all the hype is about. There must be some special ingredient that makes you keep wanting more', Ianto wondered.
'I think it's a drug mixed with sugar. When I was in the Police Force, people were selling these cookies that made people keep coming back for more.. It turned out they had drugs in them..' Gwen explained.
'We should buy a copy and find out exactly what is in the drink', Tosh said.
'It's probably just a normal drink, sugar makes everyone crazy..' Owen dismissed Gwen and Tosh's ramblings.
'Yeah maybe. But what if it isn't? I want to find out', Gwen said, heading for the doors.
