Chapter 2:Preparations
I do not own any of the material used in this story other than the storyline and my own character.
"Ok, so let me get this right Jack, you want me to do a weeks worth of shopping for twenty two adults, three kids, one baby and one time travelling alien?"
"If it isn't to much trouble Ianto."
"Have you made a list?"
"What?"
"A list, you know things we will need."
"Oh right, sure, got it here somewhere."
Ianto looked down at the list and gasped when he saw the shear quantity off food on the list, beef burgers four pack times eight, chips big bag times five, apples fifty, bananas twenty, fish fingers times fifteen. Ianto only read this far before looking up at Jack.
"Do we really need all this?"
"The list goes onto the back Ianto."
"Jack, do you have any idea how much this is going to cost?"
"Nope, but I have given you a budget off six hundred quid, just buy plenty off coffee, I told them all about your fantastic blend of coffee, do not make me a liar."

"Rose, have you found them yet?"
"No I have not, you have a huge room for T"
"Keep looking, and if you think T is big you should see M"
"Doctor!"
"What is it Martha, found them?"
"Yes, come give me a hand, there under all this junk."
"Oy, that isn't junk, that is a, well, I don't know, but it isn't junk."
"Fine, just help me move it."
"There we go, thirty first century cooking equipment, can boil an egg in fifteen seconds, even faster than the timey whimey detector."
"Doctor, found the tents, how many do we need?"
"Thirteen."
"Thirteen?"
"Yes, there is you and me, then Donna and her family, Martha and Tom, Martha's family, Gwen and her husband Rhys, Owen and Tosh, Jack and Ianto, your family, Sarah Jane and her friend Maria, her mum, her dad as well as her son Luke and his friend Clyde, oh and Mickey."
"And who is doing the shopping for all this?"
"Jack said he would handle it, Donna have you found it yet?"
"I found it five minuets ago spaceman, it is flipping heavy come and give me a hand."
After many struggles and a slight disaster with one of the tents that decided to put itself up in a narrow corridor, the TARDIS crew gathered all the equipment they had found in the central room.
"Right, time to go pick up your family Rose, then pick up Tom and you family Martha, then your family Donna, then off the Whales."
*
"Ianto, got all the food in the SUV?"
"Yes, only took me an hour to load."
"Right, Ianto, you take that to the camp site and Gwen there is no room for any of us apart from Ianto with all the food in there so you will have to take us in your car with Rhys."
"Do I have any choice in the matter?"
"Not really."
"Get in then, John was right maybe your manners didn't get brought back with you."
As Gwen pulled up outside her flat she made a big show of kissing Rhys as she always did when Jack was around to try and make him jealous, never worked but she still did it.

"Luke hurry up we are all waiting are already late, Maria's mum and Dad have already set off."
"Mum I don't know what to take."
"You are going camping, you just need clothes and a toothbrush and I have got everything else."
"Right ready then."
"About time, have we got the sleeping bags?"
"Yes all twenty-five off them, I can't believe there is so many off us, I pity the one who did the shopping."
"I thought that, I offered to help but Jack said the guy could handle it."
