Outside the Hyperion, Sunday night

[fates_jaye]

Jaye spent her weekend in the 49th century.

Jaye's weekend kicked ass.

So she was more than a little disappointed to have to go back to real life, with its work and- ugh- classes and general Jacklessness. "Sure you don't want to stay?" she asked on the way up to the front door of the hotel. "We could totally get a cool place nearby and be like a buddy comedy."

"Could we solve crimes in our spare time?" he asked, grinning as he followed her. "We could be the shirtless detectives."

[fates_jaye]

"We could!" she said. "We have practice. Kinda. And we also need wacky neighbors."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He laughed and leaned against the stair railing, not wanting to go inside. "That goes without saying. If you don't have wacky neighbours, you can't have hijinks or bizarre schemes to foil."

[fates_jaye]

"Maybe they can be secret bank robbers," she suggested. "I've been here too long. I'm tempted to try selling this to FOX."

"I guarantee they'd buy it." He smirked. "Next trip, remind me to tell you what happens to them in a hundred years or so."

[fates_jaye]

"There gets to be a next trip?" she asked.

"Figure of speech, probably. Goneforeverland is a long way away," he answered. "And while we're on the topic, think you could do me a favour?"

[fates_jaye]

"As long as I can conveniently forget the 'figure of speech' bit, sure," she nodded.

"Deal." Jack stared up into the sky and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Give a message to Sam for me?"

[fates_jaye]

"Oh, that's an easy one. I'll probably see her at homecoming," Jaye said. "Okay, shoot. What's the message?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack glanced at her, looking as sheepish as he ever got, which, granted, wasn't very. "Tell her I got her email and tell her," he shrugged and grinned, surrendering himself to sounding like a total dork, "tell her I'm still hers. And ask her to tell Cedric the same thing. I'm still theirs."

[fates_jaye]

Jaye had to smile. She couldn't help it. "You're getting gishy," she accused. "Awwww."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He rolled his eyes at himself. "Yeah, yeah, just keep it to yourself," he told her. "I've got a reputation to protect."

[fates_jaye]

"Won't tell a soul," she promised. "Well, except the people you're getting gishy at. They might figure that out."

"Thanks, Jaye. I appreciate it." He shifted off the railing and walked over to stand in front of her. "And you did good this weekend, you know."

[fates_jaye]

"Thank you," she said, grinning. "And I got some nifty new plastic accessories out of it, too."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I can't believe you kept those," he laughed. "I should head off, get back to my time now that you're safely back in yours."

[fates_jaye]

"You have my number," she said, maybe pouting a little. A lot. Same thing. "I expect voicemails if and when you are in the area."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"If I can leave them you'll have them," he promised, then grinned. "Do I get a proper goodbye?"

[fates_jaye]

"As long as I can stay shirtful. That might be hard to explain to anyone inside," she teased, holding out her arms.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Just this once." Jack scooped her into a hug and, being Jack, planted a kiss on her.

[fates_jaye]

Jaye would never be able to complain about that. "Has anyone ever told you you give the best goodbyes?" she asked.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"You'd be amazed just how many people have," he laughed, hugging her tight. "But it actually means something coming from you."

[fates_jaye]

Another thing that was just never going to happen was him being bad for her ego. "Awww," she said. "And I almost just said don't do anything I wouldn't do but that wouldn't be right at all, so forget that part."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Already forgotten," he promised. "Because, yeah, unless your life got a hell of a lot more interesting while I've been gone, that's never going to fit." With another grin, he turned to walk down the stairs, and paused at the bottom. "See you, Jaye."

[fates_jaye]

"Bye, Jack," she smiled, and gave him a wave before heading back inside.
