Boom Town

"It was dead boring upstairs today," said Ianto, swallowing a mouthful of chow mein. "No tourists."

"Not like when Margaret Blaine was mayor," said Gwen. "Things were booming then, remember? The Blaidd Drwg power plant. The arts. New businesses everywhere. Funny how she disappeared like that." She nibbled on an egg roll.

If anyone knew where Blaine had gone, they didn't say. "She was an alien, you know," said Jack conversationally.

"Go on!"

"It's true. She was. Came from the planet Raxacoricofallapatorius."

"How do you know?" challenged Owen. "I suppose you've been there yourself?"

Jack smiled blandly. "More stir-fry, anyone?"
