Title: C is for Movie Night
Written for tw100, Challenge #193 - C is for Cabaret
Rating: G
Characters: Ianto, Jack, Myfanwy
Disclaimer: Not mine; Aunty B's and RTD's
Summary:  Ianto is finding teaching the alphabet to Myfanwy harder than he anticipated.

A/N:  This continues the Myfanwy Alphabet Series:
http://aviv-b.livejournal.com/97436.html and http://aviv-b.livejournal.com/98664.html

(The idea of movie night in the hub originated in the story :http://aviv-b.livejournal.com/73696.html)

 

Jack and Ianto were in the Hub watching a movie.

 

“So how’s teaching Myfanwy going? Jack asked.

 

“It’s frustrating.  I explain a letter but when asked to identify something with that letter she’ll pick out the oddest things.”

 

‘Like what?”

 

Ianto explained what happened with letters A and B.

 

“How’s C going?”

 

“Not good, she kept pointing at the video screen.”

 

“She’ll figure it out,” Jack said as he turned off the movie.

 

Myfanwy squawked, “The movie’s Cabaret, for fuck sakes.”

 

“Maybe Myfanwy was pointing at Owen for A because he’s an Arsehole.”

 

“You’re totally bonkers,” Ianto replied.

 

Squawk! “Not.”

Utterly brilliant as always. Hopefully this will encourage you to do teh whole alphabet.

LOL. Love it, as usual! *indicates icon*

Thanks - When I saw the prompt I thought 'now what am I going to do.' Fortunately the pre-existing movie night saved the day.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks (blushes). I love you too!

Squeee!!! Luv ya, another alphabet fic!!! It was brilliant!!! Myfanwy is an excellent student!!! ***big hugs***

[milady-dragon.livejournal.com]

Haha! Oh my, poor Myfanwy, having to put up with Ianto's not understanding her. I hope he gets it at some point!

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

More alphabet soup stories! Myfanwy needs a teacher who thinks like her - Jack might have to take over teaching duties.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

He probably will at some point, but first I have make him suffer some more!

[evalentine99.livejournal.com]

Loved it because it would be so easy to go c for cat.

However it might me M for Moses the cat em yum

In this idea Jack has brought Moses the cat back Estelle's Myfanwy has taken an immeidate interest!

Someone wrote a fic from Moses' point of view. It was a Jack/Ianto story. It was really good. Wish I could remember the title.

[evalentine99.livejournal.com]

Thanks if you remember please let me know sounds good.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Yes! It was by osco_blue_fairy but she never finished it. I still have it bookmarked in the hopes that one day she will.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

I'm going to try to make the drabbles into one coherent story. So Moses wouldn't quite fit. But you never know, a random cat could come wandering in.

Extra debit?

[teamrodent.livejournal.com]

Are we sure we want Myfanwy to learn everything Jack has to teach?

"Squawk!"

"That works for him, but I don't grade THAT way!"

Re: Extra debit?

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

YOu have a point. There are some habits we would not want Myfanwy to learn from Jack.

[sassysailorgirl.livejournal.com]

LOL! And Cabaret is a brilliant film, too. Hee! Looks like Myfanwy picked up the word "Fuck" from Owen! ;p

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

It is a wonderful film! I think Myfanwy learned bad words from other movie nights - (her cursing is explained in the Secret Agent story).

[akawho.livejournal.com]

Maybe Jack should try teaching Myfanwy, he understands that A is for Arsehole after all. On second thought, no, not a good idea.

[jo02]

These just keep getting better !

[lone-star-woman.livejournal.com]

I keep hoping that one day Ianto will realize how brilliant Myfanwy actually is. But then that would ruin the fun.

Cute.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

We might have Jack give it a shot at some point.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They are getting harder - I want to keep it as a continuing series of episodes.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

I think Ianto knows how smart she is, that's why he's puzzled over her apparent cluelessness over the alphabet. But we know better, LOL. Thanks for reading.

[jsks.livejournal.com]

whoo, if i were ianto i would be afraid when myfanwy and jack seem to be having the same thoughts. poor myfanwy ,lol, if only ianto understood what she was thinking he would be so proud.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Ianto will...eventually. But more alphabet fun ahead.

[bk_forever]

I feel a little sorry for Ianto. It must be difficult trying to teach Myfanwy her letters when she's already ahead of him. He needs to start looking at things differently! Jack seems to be getting the right idea.

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Sometimes Ianto can overthink things. Jack just might be able to help!

[rustydog.livejournal.com]

Poor Myfanwy, her intelligence so underestimated!

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

I think Ianto knows she's smart its just hard for him to view the world through pteranodon colored glasses.

[jedi-harkness.livejournal.com]

*heehee* Oh, Myfanwy! :)

[aviv-b.livejournal.com]

Bad pter!
