Bridge & Xander's Quarters [Newtech City, 2023]

[bridge_carson]

So, the Carson household (to use the term loosely, since it's definitely not a house and not really even an apartment to be honest) is now officially one with dual-income, no kids. Well, unless the new-and-improved, now-in-more-locations-than-ever-before Fandom weirdness struck again the way it did a couple of days ago.

Part of Bridge is actually kind of disappointed it skipped him. Not that he's gonna admit that.

"I miss having space," he comments randomly. Of course, his dorm room hadn't been bigger than their present quarters... but then, he'd practically moved out of the dorms in all but name only long before he'd actually left Fandom.

"Normal or not, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to when it'll be our turn," Bridge says, absently fiddling with a loose thread on a nearby pillow.

[needsaparrot]

"Me too," Xander admits. "Though, ah, hopefully we'll be out of here by then, cause I can't exactly see a place this size standing up to Hurricane Bronwyn."

Bridge snorts. "Really not, no. She'd need her own room, for one. Somewhere where there's not giant robotic vehicles being stored a short walk away."

[needsaparrot]

"'Cause that slowed her down so much when she ended up coming to Fandom..."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"My point exactly!" Bridge says. "I mean, I'm not sure how the whole vortex-thing worked, if she ended up being gone for any time at all, considering apparently none passed between the first and second times, but would you really want stuff like that happening on a weekly basis?" he asks pointedly.

[needsaparrot]

"Want, no. Can see it happening... Let's just say I'm thinking for the baby shower, we ask for a lot of those springy kid-leash things."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge snorts. "That'll slow her down for oh, about fifteen seconds, I'll bet."

[needsaparrot]

"Extra-strength springy kid-leash?" Xander tries. "With titanium springs?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge thinks about that for a moment. "Thirty-seven seconds."

[needsaparrot]

"Hmm. Extra-strength springy kid-leash with titanium springs and a built-in dvd player?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Thirty-seven seconds. Plus however long it takes her to disassemble the DVD player."

[needsaparrot]

At this, Xander cracks up. "So totally your kid."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Nuh-uh," Bridge shakes his head.

[needsaparrot]

"...How is she not your kid?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I didn't say she wasn't- isn't- won't be," Bridge points out. "I just said she isn't *totally*, because she's yours too. Dork."

[needsaparrot]

"Oh, fine, split heirs with me, see if I care."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge gives Xander an exaggerated groan. "Sarcasm *and* a pun. Whatever did I do to deserve this?"

[needsaparrot]

Xander shrugs. "Just got lucky, I guess."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Bridge beams. "Yeah. I really did."

[needsaparrot]

"Play your cards right, it could happen again..."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Is that so?" Bridge says, tapping his chin thoughtfully.

[needsaparrot]

"Well, it's not like Next Top Re-Model is on tonight..."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"So you're saying if it *was*, you'd rather watch that than have sex with me?" Bridge asks with a slight frown.

[needsaparrot]

"No, I'm just saying we can get right down to it 'cause I don't have to set the TiVo."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Good," Bridge nods. "Cause if you *would* rather I might have to worry."
