OOM: Moving Day

[ami_imperfect]

It's a bittersweet day as, with the help of her new family, Dani moves all of her belongings out of her Milliways apartment and into her new quarters at Fenton Works. Each possession she uncovers and packs away brings back memories, mostly happy but some sad.

And then, of course, are the ones that she's not sure she'll be able to explain to Jack and Maddie...

"Thanks, Dad!"

Unable to contain herself, Dani rushes up and gives Jack a hug.

She won't realize until later that she called him "Dad" instead of "Jack."

Jack's expression softens, and he bends down to hug her back.

"Whatever makes you happy, kiddo."

Maddie watches the two of them and tears up a little.

Awwwwwwww. Enzo smiles at them, and Maddie, and... well, everyone, really.

Once the hug is concluded and everything seems settled in that regard, Enzo offers Dani the pouch the pin came in, and takes the pin back so he can do this properly.

His hand wavers uncertainly through the air between shirt and hat.

Dani rolls her eyes, and places her hands on her hips.

"Just pick one, Enzo!" she sighs in mock aggravation.

Enzo laughs and pins it to the bottom of her hat. "There."

He doesn't need to say: You're still part of my world, too.

"And it might help you with your Door."

"How so?" she asks.

I hope so, is her unspoken sentiment.

"YT told me once that if you take something home with you from Milliways, if it's really from here, not something Bar got from somewhere else, you can use it like a link to get back. She was talking about, like, a coaster or a matchbook or something, but the pin was made here, so..."

"I'm sure it'll work, then. Thank you, Enzo."

[a1enzo]

"You're welcome."

He's counting on it as much as you are.

"Happy anniversary."
