Sam had gotten used to the island. Actually, he really liked the island. He liked the people there, how interesting it was, and he especially liked Cassie. Okay, he especially loved Cassie. One of the things he loved about her was snuggling up next to her in bed. It was one of the guaranteed ways to delay her early mornings just a bit.

Growling happily, Sam scooted closer to her under the covers and slid an arm along her bare shoulder and across her... oddly flat chest. While Cassie wasn't exactly in the same category as Wonder Woman in the breast department, neither was she a slouch.

"What the hell," Sam said with a yawn, trying to force his brain to work properly so he could figure out what the heck was going on. Spooning? Check. Bed? Check. Room at home? Check.

Only, one of those things wasn't like the others. One of them didn't belong.

"Holy shit!" Sam said, sitting bolt upright in his bed, surrounded by all his stuff back home. "I'm home! I'm home!"

A moment later, the revelation of what that meant hit him.

"No. No no no. I can't be home, I can't- I can't be home. I- I have Cassie, I have Cassie back on the island and I can't leave her. And Coraline is going to kill me and- I have to get back. I have to get back to the island. Wait, no, I have to warn the Autobots first, then I have to get back to the island!"

Wilke looked back and forth from the door to Cassie and back again. "I've seen overstimulated puppies with a longer attention span," he laughed.

He was teasing, but at the same time, wholly jealous. There wasn't any part of him that would bolt out of a room to see his parents. Not even a year later.

"Can you blame him? He hasn't seen his parents in years." Cassie could only smile fondly, not even a little mad at being left. "I flew home seconds after to see my mom when we went to my home." Sure, she had something important to ask her, but that waited till after she'd hugged her mother for almost an hour. Diana and Donna's hugs were almost as long.

"The question is, do we follow him or stay here?"

"I can understand it," Wilke shrugged. "I mean, I'm sure if Bay or Daphne ever get to go on one of these, they'll be knocking over small children to get to their parents."

He looked at the door. "I'd say give him a few minutes before he's got to start stuttering through explanations about why he's got two kids they've never seen before in his room. In the early morning."

Cassie just looked at Wilke with a sad smile but saved them both the awkwardness of saying anything.

Then she nodded. "Good idea. Let him enjoy it for a few." She paused before making a face. "He has a girlfriend too. I really hope we don't have to deal with her." A really hot girlfriend and Cassie was suddenly up and looking around Sam's room for a sweatshirt or something to cover up a bit more.
