"Why don't we go out somewhere for the day? Go on a little trip, just the two of us." Robbie suggested while he and Robyn did the washing up.

Robyn nodded, "I like the sound of that. Where would we go though?"

"Shopping? We can go that massive shopping mall in Crazytown."

"One problem, we'd need Sportacus to fly us over so it wouldn't be just the two of us and if Bessie finds out where we're going she'll want to come too. Whenever we want to do something alone there's always other people with us. Even when I was young I was always with my friends and hardly ever spent time with you and when you came back I was with Kit all the time. It's not fair."

"I know. I'm sorry I didn't try to spend more time with you."

"It's my fault as well. It works both ways."

It was Robbie's turn to nod. After a few minutes silence a thought came to him, "Why don't we go away somewhere together? Somewhere away from here and Sportacus, somewhere we can spend time alone. The only problem is that we need to find a place."

"Why don't I try to find that world map I've got somewhere and we can throw darts at it to see where they come up with? It'll narrow the possibilities down a lot."

"That's a great idea. You go find it and I'll finish up here."

Robyn nodded and drying her hands went to go find the map she had studied geography from as a child.

Fifteen minutes later Robbie helped Robyn pin the map on a bare wall in the living room. When they were sure it was secure Robbie went to grab his packet of darts from a drawer in his night stand. Coming back downstairs he debated with Robyn for a few minutes to try to decide who would throw the darts. After little success they moved to Paper, Scissors, Stone which decided Robbie as the dart thrower. To narrow down the possibilities even more Robbie pulled out four darts.

Closing his eyes he threw one dart at a time at the map and when he'd thrown all four he looked at where they'd landed. One dart had landed in the ocean so that didn't count. Looking at the other three he noticed one had landed in Rome, another in the Alps and a third in the North Pole.

"Too cold, too bold, too old." Robbie said pointing at the dart in the North Pole then the one in the Alps and ending on the one in Rome.

Robyn shook her head, "Hold your horses soldier. Rome would be cool. There's loads to do there. We can see the Sistine Chapel, see the Trevi Fountain, visit the Vatican, and visit the Catacombs and the Coliseum. Near to Rome there's Pompeii and Herculaneum as well as Mount Vesuvius."

"How do you know so much about Rome?"

"Doctor Cole was telling me about it when I asked him about all the places he'd been to on holiday. He really recommended it."

"It sounds like there's a lot of walking involved."

Robyn sighed and sat down heavily on the couch. She knew what was coming. It was something her father said a little too often for her liking, 'why don't you and Sportacus do it?' Whenever he said it she felt like he was palming her off because he couldn't be bothered. It hurt her that they'd never really had a chance to spend some proper time together and that they were hardly ever alone. When they had a chance to spend time together it was always the way that one of them didn't want to do anything.

Instead of saying what Robyn expected him to say Robbie said, "I'd like to give Rome a try. Sure we'll be walking our feet off but I could do with the exercise."

Smiling Robyn jumped up excitedly and hugged her father, "Thanks daddy. There's only one problem with going to Rome though, we'd need passports."

"True. If I apply for a new one…"

"There's always Andalusia. I know someone who can give us free flights, free accommodation and subsidised food. They've got a luxurious villa with five bedrooms and a swimming pool. I was also told that the bath tub is big enough to be a swimming pool in itself."

"Andalusia it is then. No passport officials to worry about then. You can ask Ché about it when he picks you up for Paris."

Robyn looked confusedly at Robbie, "You know about that?"

"Ziggy asked me before he asked you. He came over for Ché's phone number the other day, that's when he asked me."

"I guess he would have had to. To be honest it's a trip I'm not looking forward to."

"You'll love Paris."

"It's not the place that's the problem it's my travelling companion. Ziggy's fine but I'm worried about sharing a bed with him. It's too soon after…"

Robbie nodded knowingly and hugged Robyn. It was plain to see that she was still cut up over Kit and he hoped that a time would come when it all seemed like a distant memory. The only problem was that she and Kit had been through a lot together and forgetting it wouldn't be easy if not impossible.

He too was hurt by Kit leaving the way he did. It had happened all too quickly but he could understand Kit's reasons. Seeing Robyn kissing Ziggy would have torn him apart and destroyed whatever remaining hope he had left of saving their relationship. He'd not had the strength to hold on to Robyn and had let her go. Robbie had heard it said once that loving someone enough to let them go was the purest form of love. It would have taken a lot of courage on Kit's part to let Robyn go and to release her into Ziggy's arms.

Sportacus slowly opened the front door and stepped inside the house. He saw the map on the wall and Robbie hugging Robyn. Neither noticed his presence until he closed the front door behind him. Releasing each other from the hug Robbie and Robyn turned to greet Sportacus in their own way. Robyn hugged him while Robbie waved.

"I came to get my hat back." Sportacus explained.

Robyn felt her head and laughed when she realised she was still wearing his hat. Even though she was reluctant to part with it she took it off and handed it back. Sportacus was about to put it back on his head when he changed his mind and put it back on Robyn's.

Sportacus answered Robyn's confused look by saying, "Keep it. It suits you. I have plenty in the airship it's just that that one is my favourite."

"They're all the same, how can you have a favourite one?"

"I don't know. That one fits right I guess."

"I take it the others are too small to fit your big head." Robyn taunted.

In answer of Robyn's taunt Sportacus pulled the hat down over Robyn's eyes and nose. Both he and Robbie laughed as Robyn struggled to pull the hat off. She managed to get it off after a little while and frowned at the two still chuckling men.

Placing the hat back on Robyn's head properly Sportacus raised an eyebrow, "Now who's got the big head?"

"I still say it's you." Robyn teased and ran out of the house before Sportacus could grab her.

Sportacus looked at Robbie who just shrugged. With Robyn gone he told Sportacus to sit down, there was something they had to talk about.
