Oh shite, Elvis is in the SUV. Hope someone sees him before he gets out.

Elvis is going to end up road-kill and very unattractive grease spot on the tarmac if he's not careful.
Yep...this is all the calm before the storm...

Oh no. (Face palm.) What is Elvis up to? He's way too little to be out on his own. Andy's probably going ape trying to find him by now.
The Time Lord parental are plotting. That never ends well. DEFCON 2, anyone?
So, chalice, huh? Like Raiders of the Lost Ark drinking cup, or power of a god type thing? Or, maybe, something completely different?

You did all that just for the last line, right? Bet you had this in mind several chapters ago.

1-Oooooohhhh those parental schemes do not bode well for Jack and "Squishy"... Ianto might decide to remind them why he's nicknamed "Squishy"!
2-Elvis has left the building, but only temporarily... That kid just might be the thing to cause Ianto, Jack and his Tardis to flee the Hub for parts unknown to the parentals, especially with 10 dropping hints about the sun shower.
3-the boys could elope to escape the Doctors but River and her sonic could be a problem... Does it have a tracer on Drago?
Nice sign Owen!
…..
"How important is this shoe again?" Owen asked for the umpteenth time as they stood in the rain, his face showing his disinterest in this now.
"It was part of a set. You need two or the set doesn't work" 10 replied like Owen was thick.
"They are the only ones that match my green pants" River said to Tosh who nodded fully understanding her dilemma.
"Stupid shoe" Owen muttered as he walked around another old rusty vehicle to check the long grass.
Yeah… of all the places to fall, it had to fall in a junk yard. Old car bodies, various metal things that made no sense in the half light….rain, let's not forget Owen's favourite part of any excursion. Rain.
"I like my shoe, I want my shoe and I will not leave without it!" River said forcefully to Owen as she stood holding an old oil pan, the muck dripping from it ruining the current shoes she wore with malice. Owen considered pointing this out but then scowled as he decided a tantrum might be a better idea.
"River.." 10 started.
"The heel is Dartmoerion steel!" she snapped "You know how hard that is to come by?"
"Because it's also a explosive!" 10 exploded himself "Are you fucking mad? That is a class three prohibited material on so many planets… if the Shadow Proclamation smelt it out… oh for the love of… RIVER!"
"Don't you yell at me" she roared back. "I'm your WIFE!"
"Maybe we all stop yelling" a voce startled them and they all swung to find a man standing there with the junkyard dog at his side and his rifle raised at them "Now I don't know where me other dog went, this as his area but this one 'ere is more than capable of ripping yer fecking throats out."
"Hello doggie" 10 crooned with glee, crouching with his hand out and the dog shot forward as Toshiko gasped with horror only to watch the dog become a puddle of goo while the Doctor rubbed it's belly.
"THAT is what happened to the other one. It's asleep over there" Owen pointed "We are not here to fuck with ya mate, this silly woman lost a shoe. Look … don't ask me how or why. Does anyone understand birds? Only … it somehow landed around here she reckons and she will not stop whinging about the bloody thing."
"A shoe" the man said, lowering the rifle with a look of disbelief.
"It matches this one" River pulled the lone shoe from her pocket "But for the other foot, naturally."
"Is she for real?"
"Yeah. It's raining, muddy and cold but she wants her shoe. I would rather be back at home on my Playstation killing zombies but …no. River lost her shoe" Owen sighed "Any idea where else to look? I mean … no black hole anywhere?"
"No… I mean.." the man now let the rifle drop to face the ground as he shrugged "Dog probably took it if someone threw it over the fence or whatever… I mean how the feck did it….. The only… holy fuck!"
The man swung the rifle and it went off with a loud boom, both barrels firing with matching velocity and vigour… metal flying as he screamed with fear, jumping back and jabbering as he tried to crack the rifle open to reload. Shotgun pellets hit the ground from his hastily explored pockets as he make little noises, shakily pulling out the spent cartridges and shoving in two more while moving in a slow circle "Did ya see that?"
"See what?" The Doctor crouched with alarm as well.
"It ws like… like a little spider monkey but… it was a fucking bug or something. It moved on its hind legs, running with little clawed hands out… fucking hell … I was an alien. An alien. Holy shit…they're real. Holy shit. We are under attack… that's where me dog went. Fecker probably 'et it." he slapped the gun closed and aimed from the hip, still turning slowly "What is wrong with you. I saw it, it's real. A fucking monkey-bug thing."
They were all still staring at him when Owen's face slowly changed to one of horror and he crouched, slowly turning in a circle too "Elvis? Elvis honey. Come to Uncle Owen. Come on baby… Elvis?"
The man froze, looking over at Owen like he was fucking mad, then resumed hunting, swinging around car bodies with the gun ready to fire but no sign of… a noise make the man look up in time to see a VW that had been perched on the roof of a Cadillac shudder. He stood and watched with confusion as it shuddered again, then to his horror is slid towards him.
Owen tackled him and they fell to one side, Owen panting as he looked up "ELVIS! BAD BOY! You wait until I tell your Dad!"
Elvis stood on top of the wreaked Caddy looking down at Owen and me made a noise like a raspberry, letting Owen know he ws not scared of that threat, then he squeaked a River's hands closed around his throat from behind.
"Bad baby!" she scolded as she held him away for her body, the little creature wriggling and squirming as it tried to gut her with it's little claws "Stop that. You are a naughty little boy!"
Elvis gave up and dangled there with a look of doom.
"Holy shit" the Junk Yard Man said as he got up from the ground and stared at the little bug. "He's …"
"That's me pet monkey … he has …ah…alopecia. Look mate, we are all a little shook up. Pardon the pun…heh heh… come on. Let share a brew, or ya got something stronger?" Owen asked as he fingered the ever present bottle of Retcon in his pocket.
Elvis made a raspberry sound again, this time with his little tongue clearly on display.
River turned to take the little shit to the SUV an a nice solid cage or something when she saw it "MY SHOE! ELVIS YOU CLEVER BOY!"

Ianto slumped in the chair as he watched the Captain pace.
"They will, I mean it" he was warning Jack "I bet… I bet Mama already has those two off on an errand of upmost importance, like bright orange fedoras we have to wear or… or… it's a naked ceremony and they are getting the body paint… something shit she will try to pass off as traditional Gallifreyan rite. I mean… her ceremony to Tad was not traditional … she's never been there, does not come from there… is not even Gallifreyan but will do this entire Mother of the Bride style thing…."
"So… does that mean you will wear a dress?" Jack said and Ianto swung to snap, then smiled as he saw that Jack was trying to calm him down with humour.
"No. Maybe you can wear the dress."
"You calling me the wife?" jack gasped as he fluttered his hands at his chest like some heroine about to faint.
"Well … if the dress fits…"
"You mean the shoe. Yeah, I get what you mean. They are relentless" Jack sighed "I don't know love… I want you so bad my balls ache. But your prarentals .. pain in another part down there."
"Tell me about it" Ianto sighed as he finally walked over to take Jack's face in his hands "But what other option is there?"
Jack looked into those wonderful storms then remembered the Doctor saying something about a storm… oh yeah… and whispered "We could elope."
They stood in silence, only the sound of running water.
Hmmmmmm.
Ianto raised an eyebrow.
