There was food. Then there was burping, and then, there were sleepy babies.

So it's been decided by consensus to sleep right here in the park, with Sokka curled protectively around his sleeping nieces, Sokka not far off, and Jack keeping the first watch.

He likes keeping watch on his own. It affords him time to sing softly, two eyes, two ears, a Reading sense and his brain otherwise focused entirely on his surroundings.
Then there is a flick, and a girl in front of him. And with a flick she's gone.

It's enough though, for Jack to see what he's dealing with. A Secret Keeper.

He scrambles to his feet and nudges the un-babied Sokka with his foot.

"Wake up. We're getting company."

The other one blinks back at him, a hand rising to his throat automatically - he'd forgotten it wasn't there. But he's smiling a moment later, very small as he shakes his head. "It's yours," Sokka says quietly, grateful even as he denies the kindness. "I've got other things.

"Take care of yourself - and Jack, you know how he's always stumbling into trouble."

Sokka nods, slightly relieved. (He likes his necklace. It's just that he knows exactly how he'd feel if some squid thing ripped it off his neck, and he assumes he feels the same way. And all the he's in this sentence are the same person, really ... That's where Sokka gets confused. But hey! Whatever.)

"You too. You're the one who looks like he gets into trouble all the time."

(Stephanie, sitting next to Sokka, laughs and nods.)

"And come back to the Kansas place after. All of you." Even though he doesn't know either of the pretty girls who seem to have latched on to his older self, the blonde or the pink-and-blue. (And he thought Jack's hair colour was odd.)

"Oh," Steph interrupts, looking up and over at Marie from the babies. "And, it's Marie, right? If Clark or Eden or anyone asks, tell them where I am? Otherwise they'll totally think I disappeared in the night. Please?"

"Yeah, you got it." Marie nods. "So--" And again, a hand is held out to each of necklace-having-Sokka and Jack. "Time to go?"

Jack smirks and places a calloused hand into hers.

"Show us this Kansas."

Sokka gives his double another look, and shrugs, putting his hand into Marie's too.

"Sure, let's go."

And just like that (flick) they're gone.
