Two is Bliss, Three is Complicated

by cjulina

Ianto is taking Jack along for his quarterly long weekend in London but the rest of the team thinks there's more to it than a few days away. A series of comedy skits involving Jack, Ianto, and "the other woman."

4. Vacation Time

Vacation Time

"Ianto, are you aware that if you don't use some of your vacation time soon that you'll lose the days?"

"Yes, sir. I've already filled out the requisite forms. My vacation starts at the end of the week."

"That's odd. I don't remember signing off on that."

At that, Ianto sent him a scathing 'I can't believe you are so dense' look.

"You forged my name, didn't you?"

"Of course I did. It's the only way to get any paperwork completed around here."

"So where are we going?"

"We, sir?"

"I've got loads of time built up. Let's get away from Cardiff. Your choice. Anywhere but London. I don't want our vacation spoiled by her."

"I'll be vacationing in Scotland."

"Ohhhh. Scotland. I hear it's beautiful this time of the year. Can we wear kilts? I love kilts. Makes accessibility so convenient."

"I'm sorry, sir, but I will be vacationing alone this year."

"Alone?"

"Her Majesty has generously offered me the use of Balmoral for the duration of my vacation with the condition that you and your destructive tendencies are not permitted within fifty kilometers of her favorite castle."

"What does that woman have against me?"

"My vacation would be ending by the time I finished reciting that list but in this case I believe it has to do with the fact you nearly blew up Windsor Castle twice."
