Title: Powdered Sugar Requiem
Pairing/Rating/Warning: none, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: Owen just needs to run one more test...
Author's Note: Sixth in the powdered sugar crack!fic series.

Owen practically flew back to the lab. 

Pheromone levels!  Jack was right, that was what had he missed!  Of course he needed to test the pheromone levels, how the hell could he have been stupid enough to not even consider testing them?

But now he would. Just one quick test and he’d have figured out what made those damned donuts so special.  All he had to do was... 

Wait a second...

Where the hell did the samples go?

How could he test pheromone levels without samples? 

Bloody stupid alien sex donuts were not going to get the best of him!

Hee! Poor Owen just can't win. And it's hard to keep samples around, really, they just keep disappearing...

Hee! Entertaining as always!

Having Owen stymied by the donuts is what makes this series so fun! :) Glad you still like them!

Hee! I think the alien donuts might be doing this to Owen on purpose.

Alien donuts are evil that way

*snicker* I'm imagining the members of Torchwood waiting outside the lab for the opportunity to nick more donuts...it's a funny image.

Oh, my Lord in Heaven - please don't tell me the pterdactyl has access to the lab (and a sweet tooth... or six!)!

::mind boggles, film at eleven::

Heee! Poor Owen :-(

Just one quick test and he’ll have figured out - he'd

[hellenebright.livejournal.com]

Poor Owen, the doughnuts have it in for him...

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

I - okay - just had this *really* wrong thought....


What if the Weevils got hold of some????

Today is the day I make the evil icon I *swear*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Weevils with alien donuts? That would be *SO* wrong!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

The alien donuts must get some perverse pleasure out of thwarting Owen....

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

*sigh* I argued with myself back and forth over he'll/he'd

[unfeathered]

It's past tense, and therefore he'd. If it was present tense, it would be he'll. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

but "he'll have figured" doesn't using figured make it past tense?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hmmm... the pterdactyl? maybe she *did* get at the donuts! we'll just have to wait and see

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Torchwood's team does seem quite taken with the alien donuts, can't blame them though!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Why yes it would, wouldn't it?

and I certainly wouldn't want you to explore that angle *at all* OH no
*cackles*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

someone else suggested that the torchwood team was the culprit, and a third person blamed the pterdactyl.. I'm starting to think you guys could write these just as well as I do!

[unfeathered]

No, it just makes it confused. *g*

Believe me, "he'd" is right. I can't come up with any fancy rules or terms or anything, but when you're in the past tense talking about doing something in the future, it's "he would".

Just like you've used "would" in But now he would. Same tense. :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I believe you, I just wish I understood it better myself

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

No I really couldn't :D:D Only you and _medley_ can write donuts

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

(Ha! Just last week it was just me! The donut empire is going! Today LJ, tomorrow the world!!!!!! bwhahahahahaha!!!!!)

but you'll happily supply the crack!ed ideas?

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

you'll happily supply the crack!ed ideas?
Indeed - it's *fun*

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Well, we know the Doctor just ambled through and ate the last of them, right?

Poor old Owen. I'm sure some more will fall through the rift sooner or later.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Owen has the worst luck with these donuts, doesn't it? :)

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

He'll get to try some sooner or later, right...?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! He's not giving up! H'll never give up, these are ALIEN donuts we're talking about!

[avon-09.livejournal.com]

Perhaps reading these backwards isn't clever...but I'm just grinning at these. Poor Owen...*frowns* I can't remember saying that very often.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oops, sorry, I should have mentioned that. Although, its crack! It doesn't make a whole lot more sense in order. (And I do torment Owen nicely in these :D )

[avon-09.livejournal.com]

That you do...
