Patrick grabs his cell phone and flips it open. "Ianto where are you........"

"I don't know other than, I'm not on Earth. I went inside of the gift that someone got Liz and Owen. Get Jack. I suspect it was given to us for a reason." Ianto pauses and he sounds cold.. "Ivy's with me and I need my coat and gloves."

"Hang on and I'll come find you," Patrick says grabbing the requested items off a hook and making a dash into the living room. "How did you end up in.....oh....okay wow....."

"We shouldn't be hard to find. Just make sure to find Jack. He might know where in the bloody universe we are," Ianto says, and he just hopes if the gift was moved that it won't end up dumping Patrick somewhere different.

"It's snowing in the living room," Patrick says, "how the hell did he......" Patrick can't resist creeping closer. "This is so weird even for him."

Ivy's hesitant to get near Ianto or his phone. She hasn't told her new parents what happens when she gets upset and is near technology yet.

She's on the edge of the clearing, keeping her eyes on him as she tells herself to to be afraid. Ianto and Patrick will take care of her. They'll keep her safe. It's their job.

"TELL HIM TO LOOK FOR THE FOOTPRINTS!" Ivy shouts across the clearing.

"I don't know how he did it. And, yes look for the foot prints and you'll find us. And, hurry it's freezing out here." Ianto looks down at Ivy with a frown on his face. He wants to give her his jacket. "If Jack can figure out where we are, then he can tell The Doctor who can get us."

He just hopes nobody else will stumble into this weird world. He especially hopes that it won't be The Doctor.

"Okay I see the first few," Patrick says walking into the snowy world. "I'll drop breadcrumbs if I need to."

Jack follows Patrick through the box with Alisa behind him. He's made sure they have some extra supplies just in case. "We're going to need more than just breadcrumbs."

Ivy dressed for the weather, even if Ianto didn't. She had plans to explore but this was not what she had in mind.

She closes her eyes, focusing on being calm and brave and a 'big girl' than takes a few cautious steps towards Ianto, watching to make sure his phone still works. "Are they coming?"

The voices on the phone were welcoming and he's sure Jack maybe able to get them off this planet. "They're coming. They'll be able to get us home too. We're fortunate for Jack's working vortex manipulator."

"Ianto....Ivy," Patrick starts calling out out loud, " can you hear me yet?"

"Ianto! Ivy!" Jack calls out, and he follows Patrick. He looks up to the sky and he frowns at the sight. He's trying to recall exactly the where and whens. "It seems our wedding gift is a dimensional portal. I'm just trying to recall the wheres. The whens are a little hard on a planet like this one."

Ivy comes closer to Ianto still, reaching out for his hand. "When one is lost they say it is best not to move to give the other party a better chance to find them." She looks up at her dad with no coat to keep him warm. "But we shall freeze if we wait too long."

Patrick thanks whatever god is worshiped here that he thought to bring his own jacket along with Ianto's. "Where ever it is this snow is freezing boss," he says picking up a handful. "Even with gloves on."

Ianto takes hold of Ivy's hand. "I think staying here isn't a bad idea. If we go any further there's a chance we'll get lost and then we'll still freeze." He just hopes that help will get here soon so they can go back home.

This planet or wherever on this planet is indeed cold, Jack's got his heavy waistcoat on under his greatcoat and a pair of gloves to go with it. "I'm going to take your word for it." He's bundled up as if his life depends on it and he looks at Alisa who's wearing a heavy bomber jacket with the wool flight jacket under it. "The three of us are bundled up for an expedition to the Arctic."

He stops to call out again. "IANTO! IVY!" He hopes that they're getting close to the two so he can get ready for them to go back to the manor. "Still this is a strange gift. Why would he give Liz and Owen a dimensional portal to a planet filled with Christmas trees and snow?" Jack reaches out to touch one of the pine trees and he just continues on despite the silver ball growing from the branch.

Ivy nods and snuggles a little closer to Ianto, hoping to keep him warm. "Did you bring matches. I know how to make a fire."

She looks around the forest and tries not to talk much in the hopes of hearing a search party. She notices the trees are odd, too. "Maybe we've found a Christmas planet." She wonders before reaching out from one of the trees.

Patrick spots footsteps that look like they are fresh and calls out to Jack. "Over this way I found fresh prints they might be Ianto's" He dances around them so as not to ruin them and calls out again.

"IANTO, IVY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

Ianto's quiet and he finally can hear the voices of both Jack and Patrick. He smiles and he knows eventually that this means he will going back to the manor and eventually home. "JACK!"

The tree responds by sprouting a silver ball and Ianto isn't paying much attention to the trees.

"PATRICK!" He turns around and he goes to pick Ivy up in his arms. "I hear them."

Jack turns around and he looks down at the tracks. They fit the shape and size of Ianto's foot and then there's the smaller ones. "They're not far."

He then hears the sound of the worried Welshman. "IANTO! WE'RE COMING!" He begins to head off in the direction of the foot prints.

Ivy, however, is paying attention to the trees. She's nearly got one of the bulbs in her little fingers when Ianto picks her up.

She squeals without thinking about it at all, her words a reaction more than a statement. "Daddy, put me down! I want the..." Ivy doesn't know what it is. All she knows is she wants it. "It's pretty. Please?"

Someone has been watching Ianto and Ivy since they have arrived. There's a tiny voice from behind the bulb. "I wouldn't touch that if I were you." It says in warning and of course she flies after them when they go running poor Falona really needs to get these strangers to the camp before they're discovered by the Black Witch's army of goblins.

"We shouldn't be hanging out here long at all!" She yells out.

The sound of his boyfriend's voice spurs Patrick into action and he runs at top speed through the woods finally reaching Ivy and Ianto. "Thank god you're alright," he says stepping forward to wrap this family in a hug.

The tiny voice is lost as Patrick comes running towards him and he's hugged. He places his arms around Patrick and he's just happy to see him. "We're okay. I'm just glad to see the three of you."

He still isn't going to register the fairy just yet. "You have my coat I hope." Ianto's cold and he's not about to let go of his boyfriend or Ivy.

Jack and Alisa break off into a run the moment Patrick's running. "Hey!" Jack calls out, and he's happy to see both Ianto and Ivy. "Good to see the two of you are okay."

The fairy doesn't escape Jack's attention and his eyes narrow. "Okay, lets head back that way before the fairy decides that we're staying here a little too long." Jack doesn't want to draw his revolver and seeing it's a fairy he knows it won't do anything anyway.

While the hug is comforting, Ivy wants to know why there's a pixie here. "There's magic here. I can see it!" She blurts out without thinking though what that statement will make the adults think.

She manages to wiggle her way free of Patrick and Ianto's embrace and walks over to Jack. "She's warning us about something." Ivy points out to Jack as if it's obvious. "I'm not sure what precisely but you will not earn her favor making a face like that." She looks up at her Daddy's boss and lowers her voice. "It's very rude of you. Give her a gift and she will help us."

A gift......Patrick digs in his pockets and finds part of a cookie from his midnight snack earlier. He moves to the bush and offers it slowly and and carefully. "Forgive us for not listening to you," he says, "but we are strangers in this land...and don't know the customs."

Trust a vegan tree hugger to get to the point."Can you please tell us where we are?"

The fairy is far from happy about Jack thinking of her being anything but nice and there's a hmph as she flits over to Ivy. She looks at the cookie with a tilt of her head, the thing is bigger than she is but that doesn't stop someone else from snatching the cookie from her hands. "Wha?"

A small dragon no bigger than a cat divebombs Patrick to take the sugary cookie from his hand and he's going to make use of Jack's head as a perch to nom on it with a happy purr.

"Oh, don't worry about him," Falona tells the jumpy humans. "We should be goining, the trolls that live here don't take kindly to visitors."

Ianto's gotten used to things being difficult to explain and he stares at the pixie and then there's a dragon. "There's magic here? Maybe they're just inhabitants of this planet. Well that's true this is their planet."

The red dragon gets a bright smile from Ianto's face and he goes to see if he has something attractive to the dragon. He digs out a couple small coins and he holds his palm out to it. "I think he likes you, sir."

"But, I think we should take the pixie's advice to move on if there's going to be a troll problem."

Jack's not trusting of anything that resembles a fairy and he shoots everyone around him a look. "Remind me to for fairy re-educating everyone later..." Jack grumbles and he watches the dragon enter the picture. "A gift? I think the wee dragon was interested in the gift."

This guy gets a smile from Jack and he goes to offer it his arm. "Still that doesn't answer the questions of where we are."

He looks over his shoulder and he's not too worried about trolls. "You can tell us on the way to somewhere safe."

Ivy beams at Patrick, proud of how he's handling the pixie. "You're very wise." She says to him before the little dragon swoops in. "Trolls are brutish and uncivilized." Ivy observed, looking up at the three men as a signal that they should get moving soon.

She looks at the pixie and nods apologetically. "Forgive them, please. They are, as a friend of mine once said, very vanilla."

Patrick doesn't even flinch when the dragon dive bombs his hand but he does check it for claw marks just in case. After a moment he nods. "I think moving would be a good idea," he says handing Ianto his coat and gloves.

Turning to the pixie he asks politely. "Do you know of a safe place we can go...or better yet the way out?"

"Vanilla? I think, I like that word," Falone darts over to seat herself down on Ivy's shoulder. "My name's Falona, and this place you have stumbled on is Farlorn." She looks at the number of people that are with her and she mms. "There's a camp outside of this forest that's a lot warmer. I can get you some mounts so you don't have to walk."

She flits off Ivy's shoulder and she vanishes briefly only to return with four pegasi following behind her. "We should be quick. Its not the trolls I'm worried about.. Its the dragon that calls this forest his domain."

"I must of drank more than just a few lagers," Ianto says, as he listens to Falona talk, and he's like Jack at the idea of the fairy not exactly being trustworthy.

He frowns when she leaves, the dragon is happy to snatch the coins from Ianto's hand but he doesn't leave Jack's comfortable perch on his head. "I don't think you're getting rid of him."

Then there's the arrival of the white pegasi and that gets a wide-eyed look from Ianto. "I did not do drugs. I never did do drugs." He's amazed and he's still trying to make sense of this. "This is just brilliant."

The dragon is happy to climb down to Jack's arm and perch itself up on his shoulder. "I don't think he is either. I think we have a new mascot." Jack likes the red coloring of his new friend it reminds him of the dragon they had painted on the old HUB wall. "I'll name you later."

There's a meow from the reptile in agreement about having a name and a couple of shiny coins.

"I just hope you won't get any bigger then this." Jack stops when Falone begins to explain where they are and he frowns when she vanishes.

He looks over at Ianto and he watches his expression when Falone leaves an returns. Alisa's face is different, she's excited to see this little fantasy world come alive. It just would be nicer if she didn't feel funny all of a sudden.

"It is brilliant. Lets go find this camp before the dragon or trolls find us."

Ivy's probably the least in awe of all of this given the things she's seen in her short life. She looks at the four winged steed, and the five people. Obviously she's meant to ride with one of her new fathers.

Patrick seems to be handling this better than Ianto, so she walks over to her Welsh daddy and smiles. "It is real." She assures him. "And safe. The Pegasus is a very tame animal, if not a little fast."

Patrick ever the animal lover walks over to the winged horses and pets one gently. "Oh aren't you lovely," he says as the horse blows some warm breath onto his neck and the young man strokes one wing in return.

Carefully examining the wing joint and the animals broad back he gently boosts himself up and settles on. He holds a hand out to Ivy and Ianto. "Come on you two it's just like a big horse with wings."

The baby red dragon looks at Jack and there's a snort, it goes to leave Jack for Ianto. The dragon digs his little claws into the shoulder of the Welshman's suit coat and he's not going to leave him.

Falone is amused by the alien visitors. "Its okay, they're friendly and safe to ride."

She didn't question the parents of the young girl and she goes to nudge Ianto. "I think he likes you more than your friend."

The winged horse meant for Ianto gives him a nudge and offers his head to be touched. Ianto has seen lots of things but he's still amazed at the idea.

"I know they're real." Ianto goes to pet the winged horse and eventually he goes to boost himself up on it. "For once I look daft in a suit."

There's a smile on his face and he looks at Ivy. "Why don't you let Patrick take you."

Alisa and Jack have already taken a seat on their winged horses. "I just need a toga and I would look like Hercules." Jack laughs and he pets the winged horse.

"We're not going to be having any conquests of the gods are we?" Jack's happy to have the dragon find a new owner. "And, the dragon looks good on you Ianto."

He's still weary of the pixie and he looks at Ivy. "You're pretty good at this type of stuff." Jack's smiling at the interaction between the two new parents.

Ivy's very confused by her Daddy's boss. "You make jokes like Mr. Dresden. It does not help the situation." She points out.

Patrick seems to have the situation well in hand, so Ivy shakes her head at Ianto. "No. I should ride with you. There is more space and your Pegasus is bigger." She says very matter-of-factly.

She looks at Jack again and nods. "Parent/children relations are well documented. I should make use of all the information at my disposal given the situation. It makes things easier when one is nervous." She says before giving Ianto another look.

Patrick glances at Jack and shakes his head. "Sometimes it's better to joke then be serious when you are facing something new," Patrick explains.

He then glances at Ianto and jokes. "Looks like you are her favorite Daddy already Ianto, lucky you."
