The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

146. A Brighter Shade Of Green

Title: A Brighter Shade Of Green – Sequel to 'Greener Than We Thought'

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Jack, Ianto, Owen, background Nosy

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 293 – Going Green at tw100

Spoilers: None

Summary: The boys try to figure out the reason for Nosy's colour change.

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

My second drabble for this week's challenge. There will now be a third part to this - my reviewers inspired me!

I love Janto: I'm thinking a nice bright green, like sunlight on grass, or possibly emerald green.

Fluffs are very clean and easily housebroken. There was a litter box at first, but Nosy soon learned to use the bathroom thanks to Ianto's careful training. Ianto would have taught Myfanwy too, but she couldn't fit through the door.

Still puzzling over Nosy's colour change, Ianto turned to Jack.

"Maybe it blends into its surroundings, like a chameleon."

Jack snorted. "It's getting greener by the day! Unless it's planning on spending its entire life in the hothouse, which I doubt, it's going to be highly visible in here." He gestured to indicate the complete absence of anything remotely green around them.

"Well, maybe it doesn't feel the need to hide now so it's reverting to its natural colour."

"Maybe it'd faded due to poor diet," suggested Owen, joining them.

"Is that possible?"

Owen shrugged.

"Good an explanation as any."

.

A/N: This was going to be the end, but then I read everyone's comments on the first part and I couldn't resist writing just one more.
