Disclaimer: See Chapter 1

Author's Note: Thank you all for reviewing. As promised another chapter. Beckers: To answer all your Ned questions... read on. Ned's still on the Plateau because he hasn't come back to the tree house yet. About Summerlee, I had this whole extra scenario sketched out but it didn't seem to fit, so he's not in this fic. We will see Lady Roxton again. Yes, Marguerite and Roxton are still a couple (again read on). Now about Gladys, I don't know if I can explain this coherantly. Marguerite wasn't mad that Gladys married someone else, she was mad because in the course of telling them, she insulted Ned. I had her feeling that it was okay for her to pick on Ned (because she lives with him), but it's not okay for anyone else to pick on him. Especially someone who I feel was a flake and didn't deserve him anyway. Can you tell who my favorite character is? :)

Thanks again for the reviews and the questions. Please keep reading and reviewing. Enough from me on with the show.

Chapter 2-The Plateau

"Well, it's just the two us now V," Finn said as she stepped out of the elevator.

"Yes, but not for forever," Veronica said setting the sack she was carrying on the table.

"How do you know? The others were so excited about going home. Why would they come back?" Finn asked as she pulled the sack towards her and absently began filling the fruit bowl.

"Because they promised they would. And besides, I think that this place is more of their home then London is."

"Still what if they stay?" Finn persisted as she absently played with the fruit.

Recognizing that Finn would be easier to handle if she was busy, Veronica smiled at her little sister. "They won't. Now come on, we've got a lot to do before dark,"

"Wonderful. They leave and I get stuck with all the work," Finn complained as she picked up a mango and took a bite.

"You could have gone with them," Veronica pointed out.

"Me in a big city?" she asked around a mouthful of fruit. "I'm still figuring out how to deal with this place. I don't want to go and deal with a city where I don't know how to act and stuff"." Finn shifted uncomfortably. "Besides, I might do something embarrassing."

"You're being too hard on yourself," Veronica said, draping her arm over Finn's shoulder. "Come on, let's go unpack this stuff."

They finished unpacking and Veronica noticed that Finn was still antsy. "Come on, we deserve some fun. Let's try something," she suggested.

"Like what," Finn asked.

"Like seeing who can do the most flips of that spot over there," Veronica said and headed across the room.

Finn smiled then and decided that she liked it being just she and Veronica.
