AN: Another chapter! Yay! I do love this story. It's so much fun to write. Though I must warn you – I have only two more chapters planned out. While I plan on continuing it for as long as possible I don't have any inspiration yet beyond the next two chapters so I'm not sure what will happen after I post them.
But enjoy the inspiration I have had and read on!
Also I'd like to take a moment and thank ber1719, charles-bridge and Artemis-Sherwood who have left wonderful reviews on a large percentage of my stories. You guys are awesome! Cyber hugs to you.
Disclaimer: I'm praying to Santa to bring me the rights to Sherlock. Until he does so I own nothing.

Can you buy some rat poison?
SH
1:27
Why?
JW
1:28
I want to make cookies
SH
1:28
With rat poison?
JW
1:28
Yes. They're a gift.
SH
1:29
Oh. I'm not letting you poison Donovan.
JW
1:29
They aren't for Donovan.
SH
1:30
Not letting you poison Anderson
JW
1:30
Not for him either.
SH
1:31
Mycroft?
JW
1:31
Took you long enough.
SH
1:32
Third time's a charm.
JW
1:32
Has nothing to do with charm. It's process of elimination.
SH
1:33
Figure of speech Sherlock.
JW
1:33
Oh. Right.
SH
1:33
Why do you want to poison Mycroft?
JW
1:34
Do I need a reason to poison my brother?
SH
1:34
Actually yes.
JW
1:35
He told Mummy about us.
SH
1:35
Oh. Is that a problem?
JW
1:35
Yes. Now she wants to meet you.
SH
1:36
And that's a problem because?
JW
1:36
Do you fancy spending a weekend with a cross between Mycroft and Ms Hudson?
SH
1:37
She's your mother.
JW
1:37
Her biological relation to me doesn't make her less irritating.
SH
1:38
Maybe not but you can't ignore you're mother.
JW
1:38
And what about the rest of my family?
SH
1:38
The rest?
JW
1:39
Yes. Aunts. Uncles. Cousins. Family friends. Mummy wants to show us off to them.
SH
1:39
Show us off?
JW
1:40
Yes. With an extravagant ball.
SH
1:40
Ball? Like classical music and waltz?
JW
1:41
And mindless chit-chat. Superficial idiots galore.
SH
1:41
Wow. You really don't want to go then?
JW
1:41
No.
SH
1:42
Why? Do you?
SH
1:42
I don't know. Might be nice.
JW
1:42
What could possibly be nice about it?
SH
1:43
Seeing you in a tux.
JW
1:43
Oh.
SH
1:44
Dancing with you.
JW
1:44
Oh. Didn't think of that.
SH
1:44
You'd be in a tux to.
SH
1:45
I don't have one.
JW
1:45
We'll fix that.
SH
1:46
Oh. Then yes. I'll be in a tux too.
JW
1:46
And mummy does love slow dances.
SH
1:47
So do I.
JW
1:47
Really?
SH
1:48
Yeah. We can even have a bit of fun.
JW
1:48
Fun?
SH
1:49
Sure. You can deduce the guest's secrets. We'll stir up a scandal or something.
JW
1:49
You have a surprisingly devious nature.
SH
1:50
Only when I'm around you.
SH
1:51
I'll take that as a compliment.
SH
1:52
Take it how you want. I'm just stating fact.
JW
1:52
Right. Cancel the rat poison.
SH
1:53
So I'll be meeting your mother then?
JW
1:53
I'll take you to buy a tux tonight.
SH
1:54
Really?
JW
1:54
Yes. Going on Mycroft's tab.
SH
1:55
Better form of revenge than poison.
JW
1:55
Indeed. Saves me the trouble of attending his funeral as well.
SH
1:56
You're horrible.
JW
1:56
Yet you love me anyway.
SH
1:57
Yeah. I do. God help me.
JW
If convenient please review; if inconvenient review anyway.
