And so all good things, especially spring break, must come to an end...


"Deja vu," Link sighed, glaring down at the National Guard from his perch halfway up a tallish building. It was really only a matter of minutes now.

Katie shimmied off his arm and made herself comfortable on a window ledge. "Looks like this is it," she observed disappointedly. "Aren't they going to shoot?"

"Nah. Got a hostage and all that."

"So I'm a hostage? Oh, boy, my mother will be so proud."

"Look... Katie, right? It's been fun, but I should probably drop you off or something."

She thought about it. "No, I'm good. See, they're already bringing in ladders." She pointed below.

"Suit yourself. You're a pretty crazy chick, you know that?"

"Yep. Hey, thanks for making spring break actually fun. I still can believe what you did to that lifeguard!"

"Well, he shouldn't have tried to sneak up on me..."

"He so deserved it, though. That jerk banned me for roughhousing. Twice!" She grinned briefly, but then her gaze was inevitably dragged back down to the encroaching figures below. "So are you gonna get locked up or what?"

"Probably not if I pull the ol' future-shock card out." He rolled his eyes. "Though they'll probably make me go to therapy again." Below, a couple of Area 5X vans screeched into the alley.

"So, uh, Link... Maybe when you're done with that, you could look me up sometime? Golden Gate University, in San Francisco?"

"Huh... I've been there before."

"Yeah, I've heard."

"Nice place."

"It used to be." She punched him lightly in the arm. "Well, see ya around, then. Don't let 'em get you too bad."

"Like they could," he scoffed, and easily resumed scaling the building without her as the helicopters started swooping in.


A/N: GGU exists, and apparantly has a good law program. I looked it up on Wikipedia. No research is spared for the sake of my art!

So this is the end of the saga of Katie and Link and spring break. Will I ever revisit them? Only the Shadow knows... But for the next few drabbles, at least, I'm going to focus on Team Monster.
