"Happy Christmas, Rona!" Jack beamed at the newest member of Torchwood, handing her a carefully wrapped box.

Rona narrowed her eyes. "Are those air holes?" The box bounced, and she looked up, alarmed. "You gave me something alive?"

"Open it!" He gestured impatiently.

"It had better be a kitten," she grumbled as she cut the tape and lifted the top.

"Better than a kitten," Jack assured her. "You'll love it."

Once the lid was off, Rona grinned. "So cute!"

It cooed.

"It's adorable. But what is it?"

"A mogwai. They're easy to care for, with just three rules to remember."
