Challenge: 341 - Pie
Notes: In which Owen learns it is possible to look a gift horse in the mouth

Ianto peered carefully into the box before taking downstairs.

‘Owen, someone’s sent us a present.’

‘Who?’

‘Dunno. There’s no return address.’

‘Okay. So what’s the present?’

‘A pie. Apple from the smell of it.’

‘Nice one. Well, what are you standing around for? Go get us some plates.’

Ianto set the box down and retrieved the crockery.

As he went to cut into the pie, it quivered oddly.

Suddenly Jack’s vortex manipulator went crazy, beeping loudly. He inspected it and quickly snatched the box from Ianto’s hands.

‘Hey!’ yelled Owen.

‘That’s no pie, Owen. Damn shape-shifters, that’s twice this week!’

Did Gwen carry it into the Hub like she did with the pizza all those years ago?

Nope, this one was on Ianto. Special delivery to the tourist office, though how it managed to post itself there is anyone's guess!

Shape shifters should know not to pretend to be food - they are bound to get at least stabbed, if not eaten!

Heh, Jack should've let Ianto cut into the 'pie'. That would have fixed the pesky shape-shifter!

Probably would have put everyone off pie for life, but...

Even Jack won't stoop to that level of cruelty - threaten, yes, act, no. He has to set a good example.
