If reading this doesn't at least break your heart, what kind of human are you?
Lacey was walking around the Hub, eyes shut, hands in front of her. "Marco!" she called out, waiting for the rest to call out Polo.
Tessa was giggling, dancing around her sister in the middle of the Hub. "Polo!" She hollered, her red hair flipping around her face as she ducked her sister's hands yet again as she bolted to the other side of the room.
Owen, had somehow managed to be dragged into the game. Mostly by Jake and Mickey when they had literally dragged him off of the sofa by his hands. Owen rolled his eyes, leaning against the med bay entrance with his arms folded in a lazy manner. "Polo" He drawled boredly.
Mickey looked over at Owen. "You could at least attempt to try to play the game, Owen," he said, before racing halfway up the stairs and trying unsuccessfully to throw his voice. "Polo!"
Rose tried her hardest not to laugh at Owen as she stood over by the computers. "Polo!" she called out, before making her way over towards where the Doctor stood and let out a giggle. "Oh, this is so much fun."
"If you actually learn to throw your voice." Jake said, ducking past Lacey to run up to same stairs Mickey was on. "You and i are going to have many new games to try out." He said with a wiggle of his eyebrows before kissing his boyfriend's cheek and jumping over the railing of the stairs landing on the ground without almost any sound and moving into couching position. "Polo." He called out.
The Doctor had been watching the whole thing develop from where he stood hovering near the stairs and lifted his video camera that was in his hands and started recording. "Oh this is FANTASTIC! Keep at it you guys. This is the best entertainment I have had all day!" He said as he slowly moved his camera getting everyone in.
Lacey rolled her eyes even though no one could see it underneath her eyelids. "I'm sure it is. Maybe you can get stick in the mud over by med-bay to actually play, cause as Rose said, it's so much fun!" She moved towards where she thought Mickey and Jake were. "Marco!" she called out again.
Tessa laughed at the Doctor. "You know, after everything dad said about you i kinda wasn't expecting a dork." She said with a bright grin, showing that she really didn't mean anything by it. "Polo!"
Jake quickly rolled out of the way of Lacey. "Hey, you're cheating! If you know where Owen is, go get his ass." He said, giving her butt a playful whack before sprinting off to over where the sofa's were.
Gray shook his head, watching from a chair, knees tucked up under his chin, not quite understanding the game.
Tessa bounced over to where her uncle was sitting, giving him a bright grin. "You don't want to play?" She asked, looking a little flushed from all the running around.
Mickey ran the other direction away from Jake. "Get me some ventriloquist for Dummies books and we'll see what we can arrange for your birthday.
"It's all a bit strange to me." He ruffled her hair. "Anyways. It's just as fun to watch."
Jake gave Mickey a double thumbs up from the other side of the room, grinning like a loon at him.
Meredith balanced on a rail, eyes flickering over the situation.
Tessa giggled a bright little laugh. "Okay." She said with a nod, kissing his cheek quickly before running off in another direction.
The younger Harkness brother laughed, shaking his head at the chaos.
Lacey smirked. "One, I am not cheating. Owen is. He's sulking where he always sulks, it's not hard to find and therefore no challenge. You on the other hand, cheeky bastard!" She whirled after he smacked her ass. "That's not free ya know! Not everyone can smack my ass!"
Rose ran from where she stood to beside the examining table in the med bay, her blonde hair bouncing in the ponytail. "Owen, you're such a party pooper," she mentioned as she ran by him. "Polo!"
Owen rolled his eyes at Lacey. "I am not sulking, and that so is free.." He called out before looking over at Meredith. "You know, if you fall and break your neck, your father will have my and your older sister's hide."
Meredith smiled faintly and performed a perfect flip over the railing landing easily on her feet. "Yes Uncle Owen."
Mickey laughed at the audacity of Jake, then he shouldn't be surprised. "Polo!!" He called out again, bumping into Rose as he ran towards her. "Oops, sorry, Rose." He grinned at her as he moved to left and kept running.
Owen made an odd face, okay, uncle Owen, he was strangely okay with that name. Not that he'd admit it to anyone.
Tessa squealed when she was barely missed by Lacey, looking over at Meredith when she flipped off of the railing. "Woah, that was cool." She said in a breath of awe that only a thriteen year old could have.
Devon laughed softly. "Mere. Show off!"
Meredith bowed deeply, politely to Tessa before grinning at Devon.
Lacey stopped. "Wait, what was cool? What happened? What did I miss?" Ok, she was getting tired of being it, so she did what Jake suggested, and grabbed for Owen. "I think this means you're it."
Jake snorting when Devon called her cousin a show off.
Dev grinned at Jake, hearing the snort. "Admit it...she was showing off!"
Owen yelped when he was grabbed suddenly, giving Lacey a glare. "Oh, you are an evil little snot." He said with a roll of his eyes before closing his eyes and moving out into the middle of the room.
"I will admit no such thing." He smirked. "Mostly because I'm pretty sure she could kick my ass." He chuckled, winking at Meredith in a playful manner.
Gray tried not to smile at Lacey's antics and Owen's resulting ire.
Meredith saluted Jake, actually winking back breaking from her normal reserve.
Devon snorted and laughed at the two.
The Doctor moved down several stairs, moving the camera as he went, laughing hysterically at the antics of everyone. "Oh, boy this is the best video yet." he said looking at everyone through his camera, though a grin was on his face.
Rose dashed back up the med bay stairs and hid out by the cells where Janet was, who let out somewhat of a growl in her direction. "Oh shut up," she commented to the Weevil.
Lacey opened her eyes triumphantly, grinning up at her brother. "Yeah, I bet. I'm gonna be embarrassed by the near misses aren't I?" she ran down toward the stairs toward the cells. "I'm Janet!"
Mere glanced at the Doctor, flushed and waved.
Owen paused for a minute, his eyes still closed. "What the hell do you mean you're Janet!? What, did you let the damn Weevil out now?" For someone who could be possibly facing an alien he still had his eyes closed and didn't seem all that worried.
Tessa laughed. "I think she meant, I'm coming Janet."
Devon nodded. "Something of that manner at least. Or she's pretending to be Janet."
Lacey laughed. "Too much Amp. I'm forgetting words now! What Tessa Said!" She turned at the last minute and dove into the medbay, under one of the examination tables.
Owen walked around blindly, his hands falling onto Gray for a moment before he realized it was the youngest Harkness brother. "Sorry, forgot you weren't playing." He said, giving the man a friendly pat on the shoulder before turning around and continuing his search. "Marco!" He called out.
Gray laughed at the mistake, half tempted to actually play.
Lacey, who can actually throw her voice, to much pleasure of many lovers, tossed her voice off the opposite side of the hub, "Polo!"
Rose ran up the stairs from the cells, leaving the alien be after Janet growled at her again, but stood on the top stair for a moment before running past Owen. "Polo!"
Tessa was nearly caught by Owen as she hurriedly ran past him and ducked behind Meredith. "Polo!"
Meredith glanced behind herself at Tessa, arching an amused inky color eyebrow.
Jake gave Lacey a look when she threw her voice, running back Owen at the same time as Rose. "You think you could teach Mickey how to do that?" He said to her before ducking into the doorway of Jack's office. "Polo!"
Tessa smiled up at her sister, giving her an innocent 'what' kind of look.
Mere shook her head, grinning.
Mickey stopped about three feet away from Owen. "Lacey, I'll pay you to teach me and Jake, both." He waggled his eyebrows at Jake across the room.
"Oi! Quit corrupting the littles." Devon snickered.
Owen heard Mickey and quickly lunged at him, grabbing hold of his upper body. "Got 'cha!" He said, opening up his eyes to stare at the other man with a smirk on his face.
Lacey started singing "here come the Littles" under her breath, giggling at Mickey. "You pay, I teach. Deal"
Tessa peeked her head out from behind her sister. "Who are they corrupting exactly? Me? Ha!" She laughed before bolting up the stairs a little to sit on them, watching her family before Mickey started his run as 'it'.
Jake laughed at his boyfriend being caught before looking at Lacey. "Deal! What'll it cost us?"
Meredith watched Tessa run off before looking over at Mickey.
Mickey looked at Owen. "You know, you can let go now, Owen."
"Oh but you're so warm and squishy." He said with a smirk, laughing when he heard Jake's indignant sounding OI! from behind him. He laughed, letting go of Mickey and moving away from him lest he be caught again.
Lacey grinned at both boys, crawling out from under the exam table and leaning on the door Owen had been leaning on. "oh, I'm easy. If you're willing, I'll take sex tapes. If not, A hundred dollar gift card to Hot Topic."
Jake grinned. "Mickey..." He called out, mouthing the words; sex tapes, yes yes?
Mickey gave the other man a look. "We'll get you that hundred dollar gift card." He mouthed to Jake. No way in hell!
Jake pouted. "You're no fun."
Jack used his foot to kick opened the front door of Jitters, Gwen following quickly behind him. Jack knew the place would be closed, but wasn't expecting to find Jackie behind to counter cleaning up. He idly remembered Ianto mentioning that he had asked Rose's mum to help out when they were away, but of course given his current state of mind it wasn't exactly hard to believe he had forgotten. Gwen closed the door behind him as they walked in, Ianto's prone and slightly off colored form cradled in his arms. Gwen hovered close, eyes tear stained as Jack caught sight of Jackie. "Go home." He told her simply yet firmly, his voice slightly hollow. He looked like he was about a second away from snapping completely.
Jackie looked up when the door slammed open. She was about to say that the shop was closed and who did they think they were barging in at this time of night when she saw it was Captain Harkness. And he was carrying. Her hand went to her mouth, a cry that should have been heard downstairs escaped her lips as she saw the nice Welshman's body in Jack's arms. She left hurriedly after that, giving the man some space, sparing on glance at Gwen. The team below had now warning for what was coming. Jackie's cry was drowned out by the sound of laughter coming from downstairs.
