Joshua had thought long and hard about what to do for his sister's birthday. He had to do something awesome, that he knew for certain, but he wasn't exactly sure what that awesome would be. After some thought, and a lot of pacing around his lab, he finally came up with an idea, a couple weeks before the day in question.

So when Claudia woke up on the morning of her birthday, she would smell omlettes cooking merrily downstairs. It's only the beginning.

"Okay..."
She does, though, because she trusts Joshua with her life.

He takes her hand, there's a momentary swirling of light, and in the blink of an eye, they're on a street in Sioux Falls. A very familiar street near where they grew up.

Joshua's face has a huge shit-eating grin.

"...Okay, so that's pretty damn cool."
And that's even before Claudia takes in their surroundings. "And what did you have in mind out here?"

[damncompass]

"Well, there's a few places that we haven't been together in quite a while." He grins. "I thought that we could just have some sibling time like we used to."

Claudia's pretty much beaming. "Sounds like a plan."
