A/N: I have a cunning(ish) plan. It is plot related.

JULY?!

I suddenly found myself wondering whether leaving Sarah Jane was such a good idea after all. July?! I had to wait for them until July?!

It was almost as if it was meant to happen. Like someone wanted me there early. Or maybe Sarah Jane just wanted me out of the house? No. She wouldn't do that. Hm...

Anyway, where was I? Oh, yes.

July? JULY? The 23rd of July?! It was currently the 18th of April. That gave me more than three months of Cardiff. That's about thirteen weeks! Well, to be exact, that gave me 95 days, 5 hours, 27 minutes, and counting. That was if they happened to get there at midnight on the 22nd of July. And that was all assuming he was here on time.

'Oh, my God, I'm going to be here for the rest of my life.'

A week of mooching around Cardiff later, and I was much, much calmer. I checked into the hotel and unpacked my things, had a look around the shops and attractions of Cardiff, called Sarah Jane to let her know I was okay, and started to have a poke around on the web for Torchwood.

Here's what I discovered (about Torchwood, I mean):

1. They're based in Cardiff. (Okay, so I already knew that, but the list is fairly short, and it needed lengthening.)

2. They're a small team. I'd say less than twenty people, probably less than ten, judging by the various conspiracy theories and such on the web.

3. ...Actually, that's it.

Okay, so it turns out I wasn't quite the hacker I thought.

Damn.

But still, something was definitely fishy in Cardiff. Well, obviously, since there's a massive rip in Time and Space running through it, but you know what I mean. I don't know; maybe it was just because I've had so much free time, but I've started to notice odd little things about the city.

For example, the guy who works in the Tourist office? One night he ordered about three pizzas, a tub of coleslaw, and a bottle of (specifically 'Diet') Coke. Yes, it really had come down to this. I was Pizza-spotting. But I'd been watching the place pretty much all day, and except for the black SUV (presumably his) that had been parked there since ten in the morning, the place was a ghost town. And that guy wouldn't eat all that food on his own, would he?

...Oh, I don't know. Maybe I had just been bored for too long. You see, after travelling with the Doctor for 16 years, you can't just switch off from it. I wanted adventure! And aliens! And for some reason, I really missed getting arrested... That was quite a mundane thing when the Doctor was around.

Okay, I had been living in Cardiff for two weeks, and I was still a whole 81 days away from the possibility of finding the Doctor and Rose.

I was bored out of my mind. We were two days into May, and... that was about the most exciting thing that had happened. I mean, no offence to any Welsh people, but when you spend your time waiting around for something, you tend to get bored. A lot.

Oh wait, I lied. That wasn't the most exciting thing that's happened. I almost got "escorted home" for "truanting". I may have used the Doctor's spare sonic screwdriver to provide a distraction. (It, erm, "accidentally" found its way into my pocket a few trips back. What? He has a bunch of spares, he wouldn't miss it!)

Oh, and Pizza-guy from the tourism office ordered more pizza. But I worked it out. He had this little gang of friends who randomly ran in and out of the tourism office (I had no idea where they came from) and into that black SUV I told you about, then do some - pretty crazy - driving and came back later. Sometimes they brought the weirdest things back. But then they disappeared round the back of the building. I figured there was a hidden door to a cellar or something round there, since I had a poke around and couldn't find anything.

You're probably wondering how I knew all of this. Well, you see, if you squint, you could just about see the tourism office from my hotel room. So, I bought some binoculars, and made a little hobby of it. Hey, I had 11 weeks there - give me a break.

Oh, and I still hadn't found out anything else about Torchwood.

A/N: Hehe. Review?

Oh, and I'm going away for a week on Tuesday, so you definitely won't get an update until November. Unless I can beg my grandparents to let me at the computer. Not likely. :P Sorry!
