Time For A Change?

(OOC: Follows on from this thread of Marty's, where Clark mentioned that maybe the gang should get a house, and Marty found himself liking the idea.)

"You think we should move?"

"Yeah," Marty said, nodding. "Clark brought it up last time I saw him -- you wouldn't believe some of the shit he's gone through lately, by the way -- and I think he's got a good point. The complex is okay, but. . .I dunno, Doc, the apartments feel kinda impersonal. And small. Very small. With a house, we'd -- we'd feel more like a family, I guess."

Doc frowned thoughtfully. He'd be the first to agree that the apartments were rather small -- especially since he was sharing his with Dee. And he understood that Marty probably missed the comfort and security of being in a house. Hell, he kind of missed it too. And sometimes the complex seemed rather lonely, with all those empty apartments around. A house at least would be a little more lively. "You really think it's a good idea?"

Marty nodded again. "Dee could have her own room, and we could all have special places for our hobbies -- music room for me and Victor, playroom for Dee, big garage and lab for you and Dee. . . . I know we'd be giving up everybody having their own bathroom--" Doc couldn't help a laugh at that "-- but I really do think it's something we should try."

Doc thought about it for a minute more. Then he smiled and nodded. "All right then. I guess this Christmas, we're finding ourselves a new home."
