It's Raining Gin (short story)

It's Raining Gin was the eighteenth short story in The Curse of Fanfic! charity anthology published by Obverse Books, written by Jon Arnold.

The story was an unofficial crossover between The Sooty Show and the Iris Wildthyme series.

Plot
For the latest episode of the The Sooty Show, Matthew Corbett is taking Sooty, Sweep and Soo to the seaside. They arrive at the bus stop, and Iris Wildthyme and her bus to Putney Common arrive, much to Matthew's displeasure.

Panda flirts with Soo, and they take the bus to travel to Paris for a romantic meal.

After arriving at the seaside in an ordinary bus, the weather turns foul, beginning to rain. The group goes inside a chippy to flee from the downpour, only to realise that a black cloud has followed them inside, and is raining on them.
