A/N: Hello again! 😀

Yep, this is "Vastra Investigates"! ❤️

In this we get to see Vastra, Jenny and Strax as they've solved a Victorian murder mystery.
And we'll also get to see a couple of certain someones notice that something isn't quite right with the snowy weather.
However, our Couple of Time seems to be missing from all the action...

Enjoy! 😘

--------------------------------

Inside, Hallway, 1892...

Strax, the Sontaran Butler, was putting handcuffs on a man.

"Prepare for obliteration, Earthling scum."

"Actually, Mr. Strax, if you could just take him aside for a moment, I have some officers on the way." The Inspector told him.

"As you wish." Strax replied before mumbling under his breath. "Humans..."

"Sorry." Jenny sighed as she and Vastra walked up to the Inspector. "He's new."

"Funny looking fellow." The he commented, turning to Jenny and Vastra. "Turkish, is he?"

"He is a genetically modified clone warrior from outer space." Vastra informed him.

"Ah. Makes sense." The Inspector nodded. "Well, what a case. Identical twins, poison undetectable to science, an ancient Egyptian curse. Once more Scotland Yard is in your debt, Madame Vastra. Where would we be without you?"

Vastra smirked. "Quite some distance from a clue, one imagines."

"You might be right." He admitted. "Does it ever hurt?"

"Does what hurt?" Vastra questioned, tilting her head.

"Your skin condition." The Inspector clarified. "Always wondered."

"It's not a skin condition, Inspector." Jenny told him. "It's just skin."

"Are you sure?"

"I am, as I may have failed to mention, an intelligent reptile from an ancient civilization long preceding mankind." Vastra informed him. "Many of us slumber under the Earth's crust."

"Madame was accidentally awoken by an extension to the London Underground." Jenny added.

"Well, that would account for it." The Inspector replied, unsure.

"I was not initially keen on the society of apes, but I made the most elementary of errors. I fell in love." Vastra told him before she and Jenny briefly gazed into each other's eyes.

"What, with the Turkish fellow?" The Inspector asked, referencing Strax.

"No." Vastra deadpanned. "Not the Turkish fellow."

The Inspector looked at her and Jenny closely, noticing their joined hands and Jenny lightly rubbing Vastra's arm.

"Good Lord." The Inspector swallowed hard. "Good Lord."

Vastra smiled wide, tugging on Jenny's arm. "Come along, my dear."

"Yes, my darling." Jenny smiled, shooting the Inspector a look before following her significant other out the door.

The Inspector watched until they disappeared out of sight. "Good Lord..."

Inside, Carriage...

Vastra and Jenny laughed as they settled into their seats.

Jenny sighed, not being able to wipe the smile off her face before looking to Vastra. "So, still no word from the Doctor and the Glorious, then?"

"No, my dear." Vastra shook her head sadly. "And there won't be."

"They can't just sulk in their box forever." Jenny pointed out.

Just as Strax began to drive the carriage, Vastra grabbed Jenny's hand.

"Heartbreak is a burden to us all. Pity the people with two."

Outside, Market place, Night...

"It's such a lovely night out." Jupiter commented as she and Sky walked arm-in-arm through the market place, people all around them going about their holiday business.

"I agree, sister mine." Sky replied. "But it is also peculiar as well."

"How so?" She questioned, stopping her walking which made Sky stop right next to her.

"Look up." He whispered.

Jupiter raised an eyebrow at her brother, but did indeed look up.

"It's snowing." She stated.

"Yes." He nodded, going around behind her and grabbing her by the shoulders. He leaned in close to her ear. "But what else?"

Jupiter squinted her eyes for a moment before a look of confused wonderment appeared on her face.

"Where are the clouds?"

--------------------------------

A/N: And there you go! 😁

I hope you enjoyed it! ❤️

See? Sky and Jupiter are not naive. They're becoming a couple of very curious individuals. 😏

Anyway, I am now going to take a little break before I really start working on the next episode. And we all know what it is...

"The Snowmen"!!! 🎉☃️🎉☃️

I can't wait for this episode, people! 😃

It's gonna be fun not only because we get to see another echo of Lexi's Impossible Man and the Doctor find out that he himself has an Impossible Girl, but also because we'll finally get to see Lexi and the Doctor set off on their quest to figure out who there Impossibles are! 😁

So...

Until next time! 😘

💋 Love always,
