This week? Was a quiet week, and Vette could absolutely live with that. Heck, she was kind of enjoying it, considering the fact that this year she'd been turned into a monster bent on eating people.

Twice.

And in a couple of days there would be new kids, and she would get to start her dance of patiently explaining that she wasn't human and this wasn't a costume and this place apparently really wanted them all dead, now with all the experience of an Earth calendar year under her belt. A full year! That... was weird. Weirder still was that she was no longer chomping at the bit to go home forever, which you'd think the double-dose of 'tried to eat people' experience really would have cemented for her?

So, that was what she was mulling over while sorting through scrap today, to see which of her inventory had been moved to another part of the scrapyard by Wayne and which still needed to be counted. Possibly chased down because it had also been moved to another part of the scrapyard. And she didn't even mind. Finding it and figuring out if she'd made a note of it was actually a kind of fun game. Especially if she could get Rusty the Bitey Bit to sniff out the parts she did already know about!

She liked Rusty. He just got her.

"Manaan!" And that came out as both a soft crow of triumph that she'd come up with such a great idea, and a lament at a date opportunity lost. "I managed to get a deal on tickets to Manaan and I was going to surprise you with them, Even if it was just for a day or two. It would've been a day or two of you and me and an open ocean on a world full of aquatic people, in their only above-water city, but so, so many opportunities for swimming or maybe even discovering new sea life or treasure!"

IT WAS GOING TO BE AWESOME, SIDON.

"Manaan!" Sidon repeated the name himself with an excited sort of wistfulness, as the place sounded absolutely wonderful and he should want to remember it, even if he was feeling a bit stricken by this unusual case of fate forsaking him. "Why, Vette! It sounds splendid. Perfect!"

An aquatic world! With potential treasure! Hust the two of them! And Vette wanting to take him even with her significantly shaky confidence in her own swimming!

"We simply must go!" he decided. "Have you had a chance to speak with the Portalocity office about a reschedule? If you like, I can even pretend you haven't said a word and act sufficiently surprised about the whole thing, as well!"

"Do you think they would reschedule? I have no idea how these things work," Vette admitted, cheeks going faintly purplish. "I was going to just save up again, but if they can just set us up with another portal another time, that would be even better."

Cheaper, anyway!

"I don't see why they wouldn't," said Sidon. "At the very least, I should imagine you'd be at least owe a refund or compensation for the whole thing, unless you forged forward and went on the trip without me!"

He'd said it in a teasing tone, but he'd have to admit, he would be a little saddened if that was the case.

"I shall have a word with them," he decided, nodding firmly. They did rather like them, after all, and he had talked them into finally figuring out Vette's portal problem in the first place. "I'll swing by after we're finished with our lunch, and see what I can work out."

"I couldn't possibly go without you," Vette said, pretending, if only for a moment, to be scandalized by the idea. "What would I even do?"

Sit in her hotel room and be sad that her boyfriend didn't exist?

"But if you can get them to re-book, that's perfect! You'll love Manaan!"
