This takes place right after Rick and Evy get married. It's just meant to
be a fluffy, cute fic, nothing more. Please R&R!

Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell pulled her new husband close as they danced to the record playing in their hotel suite. It was her and Rick's last night in France, but the next day they would be going on to London to inspect Carnahan Lodge, the house Evy and her brother, Jonathan, had grown up in. They were going to decide whether they should sell the place, or keep it and move to England permanently.
"Rick?"
Rick looked lovingly at his wife. If someone had told him ten years ago he would be wealthy and happily married at the age of twenty-five, he would have laughed in their face. "What's up, sweetheart?"
"What do you think about moving to England?"
"I don't care where I live as long as you're with me. Why? What do you want to do?"
"I've definitely had enough of Egypt for a while" she replied.
"Mmm" said Rick. "You know what I've had enough of?"
"What?"
"Talking." With that, he picked Evy up and deposited her on the bed. Evy shrieked as he jumped on top of her.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Thanks Lou!" Rick said stepping off the plane after it had landed at London's Heathrow Airport. (A/N: I have no idea if Heathrow was in existence then, just pretend it was)
Lou Rand, an old air force buddy of Winston's, grinned. "Glad to be of service. Just let me know when you and the wife are ready to head back to Egypt."
"You know, we really should pay Lou for agreeing to be our personal charter during this trip" Evy began as she and Rick walked away from the airplane.
"I already took care of it, sweetheart. Why do you think he agreed to do it?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The taxi pulled up to the large mansion and stopped in the circular drive. "Last stop, Carnahan Lodge. Everybody out" said Rick.
He and Evy climbed out of the Taxi.
"You'll be back in two hours to pick us up?"
The driver nodded. Rick O'Connell was paying him a hefty fee to come back for the couple, but he didn't get the money unless he actually did as he was told.
"Great. See you then" said Rick, grabbing their suitcases from the trunk of the car. He had his doubts that the driver would, in fact, return for them.
Rick and Evy walked up the front porch and stopped in front of the massive oak door. Evy took a key from the pocket of her skirt and immediately set about trying to unlock it. At last, the key turned, but the door would not open.
Rick grunted as he pushed against it, but it would not budge. After a good fifteen minutes, however, it finally gave way.
Rick massaged his sore shoulder as he and Evy stepped into the mansion, leaving the bags on the front porch.
The place was cold and dark. Rick grabbed a lantern from a hook near the door, struck a match, and lit it. He held it in front of them as Evy pulled out a notebook and pen. She began to make a list.
"Let's see, we'll definitely need to have the electricity turned on" she muttered to herself, scribbling. "Someone will need to come in and thoroughly clean and dust-" they headed upstairs "- and we should definitely add a couple of bathrooms in."
"The attic door should be fixed, and someone should check out the roof as well. We need to add indoor plumbing and make sure the roof is strong" said Rick.
"Got it" said Evy, busily writing. When they had gone through the entire house and Evy had written everything down, she looked at the list in despair.
"Do you really think all this can get done in a month?"
Rick snorted. "For what I'm going to pay these people, they should have it done in two weeks" he said as a horn beeped outside.
"Well will ya look at that. The cab actually came back" he said. Evy gave him a funny look.
"Did you really think it wouldn't?" "Never mind" said Rick, grabbing the luggage off the front porch. "Let's get to a hotel so we can shower and grab some dinner. I'm starved."
Evy's stomach growled. "Good idea" she said, locking the door behind her.
Right, well, that's all for now. The next chapter will be longer and (hopefully) more interesting, I swear (every damn day).
