i was sitting on a bench outside some sorta of coffee joint. i heard someone walking towards me and looked up. it was mystery girl.
"what do you want?" i practically snarled. "you gonna call me a liar and punch me?"
"no. i wanted to apologize. i only listened to one side of the story, and then.. i punched you in the face..." i sat there akwardly, on one hand, i didn't want to forgive her, after all, she worked for torchwood, and she punched me. but on the other hand, she had apologized, and i kinda liked her.
"hhhuuuuuhhhh..." i sighed. "i guess i forgive you!" she grinned and held out her hand
"hi. i'm morgan" i high-fived her hand even though that was totally not what she was going for.
"hello mystery girl now known as morgan. i'm ali!" she smiled and sat down beside me.
"sooo..." i started. "based on the punch, i'm guessing the version they told you was pretty bad. my question is, what was their side of the story?" she looked at me like i was crazy for wanting to know
"well go on!" i told her
"ok. they told me that you set loose an alien in the hub, so they erased your memory and set you down in a normal life. then, when you figured it out and over-rided the retcon, they convinced you that your father was dead, so that you wouldn't do anymore damage to torchwood." i was sitting there with my jaw on the floor.
"that is the furthest thing from the truth i've ever heard in my entire life." i was getting kinda mad now.
"so what really happened?"
"well, there was this alien. i had an unpleasant encounter with it when i was younger. jack blamed me for them being here. we figured out how to get them to leave, with my help of course. but suddenly, jack here on out known as arse face, decided i wasn't good enough for torchwood, and kicked me out. now, no one just leaves torchwood with all their memories intact, so they turned me into a human, which by the way hurts like hell, and set me loose in the world of silly, ignorant, sniveling, male-dominated, idiotic, foolish... oh by the way, none of this applies to you. i like you. you remind me of me." and i went on to insult the entire human race for about 30 more seconds.
"so anyways, everything i saw, reminded me of sometime working at torchwood or traveling with dad, so eventually, i remebered. i tracked down torchwood and demand they get me back to dad, and they told me he was dead. i locked myself in 'my' room and stayed there for five days straight, before i got a phone call." i stopped thinking back to when this had happened.
"well who was it?!" morgan demanded. i'de forgotten she was there.
"oh right! the story! sorry. i answered the phone, and on the other end, was none other then my 'dead' dad. he picked me up and i've avoided torchwood ever since." finally i was finished my tale of woe.
it looked like morgan had no idea what to say. we sat there in an awkward silence until she said,
"theres a frozen yogurt place right around the corner if you wanna go get some."she said, breaking the silence
"great, i could go for some yogurt!" i said. standing up.
we headed over and as we walked in, the song "gangnam style" came on the speakers
"i love this song!" i shouted. the chorus came on, and i started doing the dance.
"i love this song but i can't dance." morgan said, setting our yogurt on the table.
"thats alright, i'll teach you."i told her. i gave a dance lesson and we had frequent yogurt breaks. when the song ended, i bribed the cashier to put the song on a loop until we left. we stayed there for like, half an hour before we headed back to the hub. on our way back, morgan started telling me what i'd missed torchwood wise.
"well..." she dragged the word on and on! "tosh and owen started dating,"
"oh! good for them!"
"tosh is pregnant"
"no way! seriously?"
"yep!" she looked smug. i needed to set her in her place.
"i'm still not forgiving them."
"i'm jack and ianto's daughter." she continued like i hadn't said anything.
"absolutely NO WAY!" i shouted
"absolutely yes way!"she shouted back.
"and i repeat, i'm still not forgiving them"
"oh come on. at least forgive tosh and owen. they're gonna have a kid! they dont need any more stress right now."
"fine i forgive them. but at different levels."
at that time, we'd reached the hub
"oh my god i just had a stroke of absolute genius!" i informed morgan.
"and what would that be?"
"we should totally go gangnam style dancing into the hub, singing at the top of our lungs!"
"that is the absolute best idea i've ever heard!" (obviously we were both high on sugar.) so that's what we did. we gangnam style danced into the main hub. everyone turned to look at us but this time, i didn't have a care in the world. until i spotted arse-face.
"here ye here ye!" i shouted. " i have a declaration for all torchwood members. excluding arse-face and morgan!"pretty soon, everyone was crowded around me wondering what the heck i was doing.
"i have forgiven you!" i told them. they all looked relieved. "but to different extents." now they all just looked confused.
"i shall now explain! everybody get in a line behind morgan!" they did as told.
"now, tosh, switch places with ianto."she moved to right behind morgan.
"now, gwen behind her, then ianto." i was enjoying myself.
"morgan?" i had a devilish smile on her face. "will you please inform arse face that i will not be speaking to him, and to switch places with owen?" she turned to jack.
"ali say-"
"yeah yeah. i heard he grumbled.
now, for you slow people out there, the order was now, morgan, tosh, gwen, ianto, owen, then arse-face.
"there!" i declared "morgan being the most, this is a scale of how much i forgive you." some people grinned, others frowned. arse-face stamped his feet like a toddler. tosh taunted owen. now that i paid attention, i could kinda make out a bay bump.
as i looked around at my torchwood family (minus jack) i had a feeling this was going to be a fun year.
