"God, no! Errr, I mean ... thanks for the offer, but no thanks." Gwen looked flustered as she declined Jacks' offer.
"Oh come on, it'll be fun." Jack's eyes twinkled with barely contained laughter as Gwen shook her head vehemently, and looked pleadingly at Tosh for help.
"Don't look at me," Tosh swung off her chair and headed for the door, "I have other plans already. I'll see you tomorrow." She grabbed her bag and coat and disappeared as quickly as she could.
"Hang on Tosh!" Owen also grabbed his things and raced after Tosh, "No way I'm getting involved with this, it's just not right."
"Ianto, what about you? Are you willing to join us?" Jack winked at Ianto who gazed back at him calmly before shifting his gaze to Gwen.
"Sorry sir but I think I'll pass this time. Maybe next time."
Gwen's face was looking more and more worried as the rest of the team deserted her, leaving her alone with Jack and his ridiculous proposition. She slowly began to back towards the door, wondering if she would make it out or if she was already doomed.
"Really Jack, I'm flattered, a-and overwhelmed... but... but..." Gwen grasped desperately for a way out, "what about Rhys? I can't leave him at home!"
"Ask him to come along too then, I got enough tickets for everyone, so... " Jack looked around at the empty hub, "I have plenty of spares now." he said, looking at Gwen with hopeful puppy dog eyes.
"Nooo... I don't think... it's really not my thing..." Gwen trailed off, sensing that defeat was imminent.
"Oh come on,' Jack tipped his head to one side and looked at Gwen with a narrowed gaze. "Haven't you ever been to a Spice Girls concert before?"
