Jack was sitting on the nearby bench; it was old and crickety, but better than sitting on the cold ground. The blood from Jack's nose was coming out at a much slower pace, letting Jack sit back.
"Well, he has a good punch. You can give him that," Owen stated.
"I can't believe he punched me. Not even a chance to talk to him. I thought I could pull off this whole captain thing. Guess not," Jack sighed.
"Why don't you tell him the truth!" the Doctor yelled.
"Are you kidding me? If Ianto found out that I was the local con man, I'd bet he'll...well, I don't know, but I know it won't be good,"
"Someone appreciates another if they can make them laugh! You still have to be yourself," the Doctor stated.
"Myself? Ianto barely like me as a con man. I think I'm going to go see him again. Just have to be calm,"
"Hold up before you go; take this. It's a device where I'm able to talk to you and vice versa, with out a phone. Very helpful," the Doctor stated. He handed off the device.
"So, it's like a Bluetooth?" Owen questioned.
"Similar," he responded. Jack got on the carpet and flew up to the balcony.
"Prince Ianto?" Jack said. From another window, Tosh looked outside. She saw Jack leaning on the railing. Tosh ran out of her room, slamming the door. The castle was decorated with various knights. Swords were glistening from the light; crests with fencing swords were attached. Tosh looked up and quickly grabbed one of them.
There was another door leading to the balcony. She took it. Tosh put the tip of the sword a few centimeters before Jack's neck.
"Who's there?" Ianto asked.
"It's me, Captain Harness,"
"Please leave," Ianto stated.
"What did I do to you?" Jack asked as he stepped toward to Ianto. Tosh backed away a few steps, but raised the sword once again. "Whoa, didn't mean any harm," Jack raised his hands, and backed away slightly. Ianto turned to Tosh, and whispered a few things to her. She quietly nodded and headed back. Ianto studied Jack's face for a minute.
"You remind me of someone. Ever been to the market before?" Ianto asked.
"The market place? Don't go there, maybe it was someone else," Jack lied.
"Oh," Ianto said disappointed.
"Must have been your imagination," he cleared his throat.
"Incoming to Jack, this is the Doctor. Stop talking about yourself! Complement him!" the Doctor yelled into the Bluetooth. "Tell him anything. Pick a feature!"
Ianto was heading back until Jack's voice stopped him.
"Prince Ianto?" Ianto turned around. "Why did you punch me?" Jack asked. "All I did was ask you if you wanted to get some coffee,"
Ianto took a deep sigh. "Before my mother died, she used to take me to the small coffee shops to sit down and try to get away from everything. All my anger must have came all out on your nose," Ianto awkwardly laughed. Jack rubbed the back of his neck.
"You're very…" Jack's voice drifted off.
The Doctor talked into the Bluetooth. "Wonderful, handsome, punctual!"
"Punctual!" Jack repeated.
"Punctual?" Ianto questioned.
"I mean, you're very handsome," Jack said.
"Nice save, Harkness," he heard Owen in the background.
"You do know who my father is? The sultan: a good person, an okay father, I guess,"
"Well, I think after all your choices to marry I just may be the best bet…" Jack's voice drifted off.
"Wrong move Jack," the Doctor's voice buzzed in Jack's ear.
"That's what every other uppity arse has said," Ianto stated. "Everything would be much better if you would jump of a cliff," he rubbed his face and ran his hand threw his hair.
"Red territory!" the Doctor yelled.
"Just let me do this," Jack said back, turning himself away from Ianto. The Doctor laughed and the slight buzzing from the earpiece turned off.
"Yeah right," Jack said, more loudly than expected.
"Excuse me?" Ianto asked.
"Er, you're right. I shouldn't be forceful. Make your own decisions. I'll leave," Jack stepped onto the ledge, and walked off.
"Jack?"
"Yes? He poked his head from underneath the balcony railing.
"How…?" Ianto asked, not sure what was going on.
"Alien technology, I think,"
"Quite interesting,"
"Care for a ride?" Jack asked curiously.
"I…don't know,"
"Do you trust me?" Jack asked.
Ianto pursed his lips and adjusted his tie. "Yes," he said, still feeling a little bit awkward. Ianto stepped onto the carpet, off of the balcony.
"Can we promise no bloody noses?" Jack smiled.
"Manageable," Ianto agreed. The carpet took off.
"With this thing," he patted the device, "I can show you every place on this planet. So, tell me prince, when did you let your heart do the talking?" Ianto held onto the carpet for dear life. "How about opening your eyes?" Jack laughed.
"Maybe if we weren't going moving at light speed," his voice drifted off. One eye, and then the other opened. The sky was incredibly clear this night.
"It's a whole new world. No one to tell us what to do. Literally, we're free, for now anyway," The carpet zoomed; Ianto looked back and saw Cardiff slowly fading away.
"I have to say the view is amazing," Ianto was still a little tense.
"No restriction is a great thing, but I have to say I can't believe that this is not a dream," Ianto stated.
"It does look like a whole new world. Beautiful sights…are we ever going to see this clear of a night again?" Jack asked.
"With the Welsh weather? I doubt it," Birds started to fly near the carpet. One squawked when the carpet banked its turn. "The Atlantic? Didn't really notice it at night,"
"If you close your eyes, I'm pretty sure you'll miss something," Jack said, with a small laugh.
"I don't think after this I'm ever going back," Ianto sighed. Carpet flew down near the local river.
"So, Ianto, can I show you this new found place?" Jack asked.
"Well, that's where well be,"
"Definitely a excited place, for you and me,"
A/N: Absolutley loved writing this chapter. I did break out into song when I was writing this.
