A/N: For the P100 challenge 222: Footprints. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and the other side of We Will. Thanks go to the ever wonderful Fred for casting her eye over this.


James sighed as the mud squished beneath his once-pristine and expensive shoes. They'd be good for nothing except the bin if... no, when they got home. He glared at Abby as she chuckled at him before linking their arms.

“Almost there.”

James snorted in distaste. It wouldn't be quickly enough for him and he sighed with relief when he finally stood on dry land.

“Oh.”

Abby's exclamation had James spinning around. “Fuck!” He looked back over their route, clearly marked by their parallel footprints. He just hoped the tide would wash them away or he'd have some explaining to do.

Awwwww (and I just went back to read "We will" because I somehow missed that with all the LJ problems) If only Lester realised that the footprints would give those back home the hope that they're still alive...

Thanks, glad you liked it. (Grr for LJ problems). Poor Lester's only thinking about the trouble the story would cause him, he wouldn't be so concerned if he knew. Thanks again for reading.

Poor James and his ruined shoes!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, James would have to be worried about his shoes. Thanks for reading.

Great flipside of the previous drabble - poor James and his shoes!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, the prompts just fitted together so nicely ;) and James has to be annoyed about his shoes.

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Poor Lester. And the hardship isn't over yet.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Poor Lester indeed, and the hardship probably isn't over with either *eg* (depending on the prompts of course). Thanks for reading.

LOL, shame about his shoes! Poor James.

Hee, James would have to be annoyed over his shoes ;)

Thanks for reading and again for looking at it.

Lester just had to be concerned over his shoes ;) Thanks for reading.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

That's a very fortuitous prompt for you!! Nicely done!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, it did link in with the previous one rather well. Glad you liked it. Thanks for reading.

[cordeliadelayne]

Heh, oh dear!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* Lester was not impressed. Thanks for reading.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

I think that's explaining is going to be necessary, James... *g*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, you could be right ;) Thanks for reading.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

lol. Also... oops!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks - although Lester doesn't find it funny ;) Glad you liked it.

Well shoes can be replaced. You and Abby not. So don't give up. Your team doesn't either.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I think Lester knows that, but being lost in the past isn't in his job description. I doubt Abby will let him give up and the team isn't either. Thanks for reading.

Typical Lester- so concerned about his shoes!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

He wouldn't be Lester if he wasn't ;) Thanks for reading.
