Alexis has her hand wrapped around Alex's arm as they leave the airport, grinning up at him.

Alexis: I'm still not sure if that was too long or too short. I wouldn't mind going back there though.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Any time you want cutie.

He sees Ewan.

Hey dad.

Ewan: Well hello newleyweds..... you seem..... rested

[Pockets]

Alexis giggles

Alexis: I'm not sure if rested is the best term... relaxed though, definitely.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan: Well I'm glad you both had a good time..... but I guess it's time to go home huh?

[Pockets]

Alexis chuckles.

Alexis: Yeah, and Ben spoiled us. Our place is going to seem really small now.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex wraps his arm around Alexis.

Alex: It'll do for now......but one day...... you'll have a house fit for a queen.... I promise.

Ewan loads the bags into the car.

Ewan: OK lovebirds hop in...... I need to run a quick errand before I drop you off.

[Pockets]

Alexis smiles at Alex as she slips out of his arm and sits in the car.

Alexis: I don't have a problem with that.

[Cruel Britannia]

After a lengthy drive they finally arrive at the new mansion in Hinsdale.

Ewan: OK ..... here we are.... you wanna check out this place with me?

[Pockets]

Alexis glances at Alex.

Alexis: Sure... this isn't the dojo, is it?

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan chuckles.

Ewan: Oh no..... we still need to look over designs and whatnot for that...... no.... this is a joint venture with Ben.... we've been looking into a little property development in the Suburbs.

Alex: Isn't Hinsdale a little...... pricey?

Ewan: Hahaha.... yup..... but this property is aimed at a family with quite.... sophistocated taste.

He leads them up to the door.

[Pockets]

Alexis: I didn't know you were into real estate.

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan: I'm not..... Two very special young people recently got married..... and needed a real family home.....

Alex: .....wait.... what?

Ewan smiles.

Ewan: Welcome home kids.....

[Pockets]

Alexis: Wait... this is ours?

[Cruel Britannia]

Ewan: Remember the wedding present we were having made for you? This is it. Your stuff is all moved in.

[Cryonix]

Walking out of the kitchen is Ben Cryos...

Ben: Of course this is yours. Welcome home, kids...how was Rio?

[Pockets]

Alexis: Better than I ever could have imagined it. I liked your little touches....

She gets a slightly shifty eyed look.

Alexis: And your captains hat... on Alex....

[Cryonix]

Ben: Heh...Moira got a kick out of that very same thing. I hope you didn't wear it. Things...happened in that hat....

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Um...... things?

[Cryonix]

Ben: Let's just say I had to get the hat dry cleaned six times...anyhow...I hope you all had fun. How was the yacht?

[Pockets]

Alexis looks a little guilty at Alex about the hat.

Alexis: I don't think we ever explored it all.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex gives a perverted chuckle.

Alex: Haha..... floating cocoon...... and dinner was something else..... thankyou.

[Cryonix]

Ben: Ah, yes...I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now....explore the house, you two. All your stuff has already been moved here.

[Pockets]

Alexis: Thank you.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Thank you

He looks around

This place is huge..... where do we start?
