chapter 9

"umm. excuse me ali, but we're in the middle of a very important meeting." i rolled my eyes. 'puh-lease'

"yes. and i'm interrupting your very important meeting because these lovely young ladies," i gestured behind me to my best friends. "wanted to meet arse face. live and in person." i put a hand on my hip and glared at him.

"yes, well thats all very nice, but we are in the middle of discussing tops secret business right now." ianto stood up and glared at morgan. probably for letting me in here. which means she new this was happening. never mind, i'll deal with that later.

"well they've all seemed to have handled the pterodactyl pretty well. whats going on now that the all powerful torchwood has to fix?" i jeered at them, my friends standing awkwardly, not knowing what to do. (and being confused by jack and i's conversation.) i turned to them and said,

"oh how bout you all sit down? i need to make sure they're not keeping any more secrets from me." i eyed everyone around the table, singling out the weakest link. not so surprisingly, it was tosh. (hormones and such) and decided to grill her later.

"anyways. girls, this is the arse hole that completely destroyed two years of my life." i saw them all turn and glare at him, and it warmed my hearts. "and now that you've met him, i have a very awesome thing to tell you. i skipped out of the office and towards the cells. at the entrance, i turned and faced everyone.

"like i said, i have something to tell you, but first answer this question." my friends looked confused. morgan shot me a look that said, 'what question?' i sent her back a look that said, 'hold your horses, i'm getting to it!' she rolled her eyes and i went back to the girls.

"okay. question: why weren't you surprised by myfawny? she's a fricken pterodactyl and you just acted surprised that i had one! i would've gotten the same reaction for a pet tiger!" anna looked excited. "and no i don't have a pet tiger." her face drooped "so what i'm asking is, why?" they looked among themselves until emily answered

"umm... hello? the space ship rock, the christmas star, the replica titanic, and your asking us why we're not confused by a pterodactyl?"

"hmmm... good point. so anyways, back to the thing.-" i was trying to figure out how to explain this when i got interrupted by anna when she asked,

"um, sorry to interrupt, but whats with the big blue box in the middle of the room?" i turned to the tardis and the answer to my problem appeared.

"how 'bout i show you?" i grinned and walked over. they all exchanged confused looks but followed me o the middle of the room.

"come on in." i said, pushing open the door.

"uhhh... no thanks... you know i'm claustrophobic!"maelyn shook her head. i smiled at their ignorance and said,

"just go ahead." and stepped inside.
