future!verse: A Quick Visit

[reversedpolarity]

While sorting out meeting up with Liz's parents hadn't been too much of a hassle, trying to find a time to meet his family was proving to be more difficult than it really should be. They ended up having to take a shuttle over to Scotland - a fairly quick trip, though of course not so quick as the transporters would have been - where they'd be staying with Scotty's sister for a few days before heading back to California. Of course, traveling from one side of the world to the other meant they'd had to get time zones sorted out, and in order to arrive at Scotland at a reasonable time, they'd had to leave California at a very unreasonable time.

The trip was uneventful, and when they reached their destination, the worst they'd have to contend with was a bit of jet lag. For once - miracle of miracles - it wasn't raining, and while the air was definitely cooler than in California, it wasn't half so bad as Scotty had feared it would be. And although it didn't exactly feel like home, not anymore, he realized he'd missed it more than he thought. "Well, love, this is it." Now to go find his father, who was supposed to be picking them up.

"It's pretty. I've visited a few times," she said while ringing out her hair. The doors were locked, so they weren't going to get interrupted just yet, but it wouldn't stop Will from trying. She looked over at him, still just wrapped in a towel and pulling her hair up to tie it back in a loose bun of damp and unruly curls. "When we get back, we could go look," she said, "maybe take a day trip. We might even find a pretty location for a wedding."

He shut the water off and spent a few minutes toweling off before going to get dressed again. "Sounds like a plan." Maybe it was weird to have that conversation in the middle of a shower, but he didn't care. At least they were getting this out of the way. All of this planning would be one less thing to have to worry about when they got back to where they were currently staying in San Fran. "An' now that that's out o' the way, have we got any more plans for today?" If Liz didn't have anything in mind, chances were Will would think up something he would want to do.
