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...

Poor James and his ruined shoes!

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

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

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

lol. Also... oops!

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

Typical Lester- so concerned about his shoes!
