Alright, I promised a new pic tonight, so here we go.
The meaning of this moment totally leaves me in the dark. Enlighten me, ladies! What's going on here?

(Nice offerings this week, Solar. You aren't bad at choosing at all.)

News anchor the next morning: Two men are reported missing after being kidnapped by the Cabbie from Hell. What is even more mysterious, however, was that they did not see or hear it coming despite being in a quiet side street.

John: "Sherlock, our cab!"
Sherlock: "Yeah.... hm... let's walk; look at all those stars and the moonlight, they will lead us home...."

Wow, the cabbie from hell and stars and moonlight... that's what I call romantic.

Yes, mysterious...... I really wonder, why.

John: "Ah, look, Sherlock, Venus crossing Virgo! How exciting! "
Sherlock, thinking: 'Apparently I do need to learn much more about all this!'

John: "Sherlock, that's not Dr. Strange. I don't think he can fly."
Sherlock: "No? well, he's got a great coat."

Very nice. Very nice indeed. Keep going!

JOHN: Do you see her, there under the moon? It´s Mary Poppins. Travelling with the western wind, high about the world, alone...
SHERLOCK: Alone, you say? Well, not anymore.
JOHN: Wow, what is this? Is this Mycroft?
SHERLOCK: Yes, my brother, testing his new umbel-copter. And there! Already chatting with Miss Poppins... insufferable man!
JOHN: I wonder what they are speaking about?
SHERLOCK: He´s fishing for advice how to properly care for unruly children. Especially one big child.
JOHN: Oh, that´s why he patronises you so much! He will be as smug as a rooster tomorrow...
SHERLOCK: Maybe not - do you feel? It´s an eastern wind! I´ll hope it will blow him to Scotland as it did the last time he was bothering Miss Poppins!
JOHN: Serves him right, yes!

John thinking: * Wishing upon a star while Sherlock is around is no good. He always deduces what I'm wishing for and so it never gets true. *

Sherlock thinking: * omg John. So going to make your wish come true tonight... if you only knew! *

John: Um, Sherlock... why are you smiling like that??

Sherlock: Get into that cab. Now.

Sherlock, angry:
* what is it with this solar system? I'm unbuttoning my coat with my sexy leather gloves, and he is staring at the stars instead!! *

'What is it with this Solar System'...? Well, well, well... mentioning me in your caption won't get you anywhere!

John: So Sherlock, exactly how much did it cost you to hire a plane to skywrite "John Watson is bisexual"?

**Posted by Yitzock** April 20, 2016 3:15 pm

John: Do you think you can deduce where that plane is going, Sherlock?"
Sherlock: I don't have to, I can see that it's Mycroft's private jet flying him towards the Cake Capital of the World.

Ah damn you got me there

Brilliant round, everyone!

I love the skywriting idea, tonnaree!    How about:

John:        "Surrender Dorothy" Sherlock? really?

Sherlock:   It says "Donovan", John. It's about time we track her down,
                  best way to get Anderson distracted and out of our way...

Okay everyone, anymore ideas? There is so much excellent stuff already, but if anyone has anything else to add, please do so until tonight. Tomorrow morning (European time) I'll annnounce the winner.

**Posted by SolarSystem** April 26, 2016 6:19 am

Okay everyone, thanks for all your wonderful ideas, you've really made me laugh.
It's always difficult to pick a winner, and this week I'm afraid I'm joining tonnaree at the shallow end of the pool. So here's the winner:
