Disclaimer – I own nothing except the Australian Archaeologist

Author's note - This takes place after Indy Left Marion and he hooks up with an Australian Archaeologist. Story will end right before Temple of doom takes place.

Another year passed as Indy sat at his fathers' desk waiting for his return. Indy had his mail sent to his father while he and Rikki were away. Indy was board so decided to open his mail when he found something from Shang high. Indy opened it and then after he read it he raised out of the room to Rikki's class room. Class was still in session but he could not wait. He knocked once and then let himself in.

"The Paleozoic era lasted," Rikki was saying but stopped when she saw Indy enter the room.

"One moment class," she said walking over to her husband. He handed her the letter and she looked at it read it and then froze.

"Where did you get this," she whispered so low Indy could barely hear her

"Mail,"

"Alright let's go but after class. Get the stuff packed I will meet you at the car in an hour,"

"Alright," he said kissing her cheek and exiting with the letter. Rikki turned back to her class and continued to teach. When class was over, she gathered her things and exited. It was break time so she did not have to miss work. She met Indy at the car and they left to the airport.

"Indy what do you think?" Rikki whispered as they walked the streets of china.

"I don't know," Indy said as he walked past stands selling all kinds of things from food to clothes to live animals to dead animals. Rikki started to get creped out when they ran in to a rat seller. They kept walking trying to find the place where they would meet Lao Shi the next week. When all of a sudden Indy felt something hit his side pocket. He had fast reflexes and caught a kid's hand reaching into his pocket. It was a little boy about ten years old.

"Nice try kid," Indy said and Rikki just laughed.

"Sri I need money for food, Please," The kid said he looked a little hungry but otherwise healthy

"What's your name kid?" Indy asked

"Short Round," the kid replied

"Well Short Round it's your lucky day," Indy said

"Why?" The kid looked confused

"How would you like a job?"

"A job wow mister,"

"Congratulations you're my new assistant," Indy said

"Thanks mister,"

"Call me Dr. Jones," Indy said and Rikki laughed again

"Who are you?" Short Round asked looking at Rikki

"Call me Mrs. Jones, I don't like the Doctor part," Rikki said laughing

"It is nice to meet you," Short Round said shaking her hand

"It is nice to meet you too Short Round," Rikki said holding out her hand for him to grab. The three of them walked to a decent place to eat and talked. They began to like each other right away and Short Round agreed to be their get away driver the next week if anything happened. They could tell he was a good kid. They let Short Round stay with them and he would help them if they needed his help. The next week went great. They had the thing they were getting paid for and Short Round was a humongous help. Indy and Rikki knew that this kid would be a great aspect in their lives and that they would grow closer and closer everyday.
