OOM: A brief pit stop

[ami_imperfect]

It had been Sam's suggestion - her insistence, really - that the Fenton family (plus three) stop off at some warm location before returning to Amity Park. Fortunately everyone else had had as much of the Antarctic temperatures as she had, so there were no objections to a brief stop off in Chile on their way home

Enzo digs his toes into the sand and marvels at the view. He hadn't realized there could be much variation in beaches, but this looks nothing like the Caribbean inlet of the lake, and an ocean sunset is so much more... sunsetty than one with mountains and forest in the way.

Milliways may interface with everywhere and everything, but a proper world gives you much more world.

He's going to miss her like crazy, he knows that. But a home, and family, and a world... this is better for her.

Another, less sentimental part of him, is reflecting that Users sweat a lot. Even in his new tank top and shorts (for which the excited shopkeepers refused payment), he's dripping. He would remove the shirt, except he knows he'd blush so hard that he wouldn't end up any cooler.

That, and Danny would probably rant about it until he turned blue.

(Fortunately, he's currently being distracted by Sam somewhere further down the beach)

Danielle looks over at her boyfriend, and grins. "Warm enough for you?" she asks innocently.

Enzo grins ruefully and pulls his sweat-stained shirt away from his skin; it tries to stick.

"Good thing I can't come here as a sprite. I'd be so drunk." He releases his shirt, and it hits his skin with a splap. "It's real nice here, though."

"And you're underage," his girlfriend points out, trying not to giggle.

She sighs contentedly. "Remind me to thank Sam for insisting we stop here before going back ho- to Amity Park."

She manages to catch herself in time. For some reason she feels extremely guilty referring to Amity Park as "home", instead of Milliways.
