There's a trunk, and a pile of suitcases and boxes. Even a frog-shaped wastebasket which is, at the moment, stuffed with clean socks and the blankets from Xander's bed. There's also a purple frog in a tank, and there's Xander, and there's Bridge.

Bridge is leaning against Xander, because yeah, still very much with the not wanting to let go, and so he's staying as close as he can for as long as he can. The portal's not here yet, so he knows he's at least got a little longer.

"I hate saying goodbye," he says finally.

"S'a stupid word," Bridge grumps. "So... we shouldn't use it. No saying goodbye."

"See you later, maybe?" Bridge suggests. Because he knows they will, even if it's not as soon as either of them would want.

"I don't want to break up," Bridge confesses. "I really, really don't."

"Maybe we could just... I don't know. See how things go?" Bridge suggests. "If that doesn't sound completely crazy."

"Going against the grain, and all that." Bridge says with a blush.

"Always," Bridge agrees, turning around and burying his face against Xander's shoulder. "You were my first... everything. Well, technically not first kiss but first kiss that *meant* something."

"I've got something for you," Bridge says, pulling away slightly but still holding one of Xander's hands in his own. "Hold out your hand," he says, nodding at the other one.

"I'll look for it when I get back," Bridge promises. He then reaches up and takes his SPD badge from his uniform and presses it into Xander's palm, curling his fingers around it.

And Bridge has seen the portal open before. Hell, he's *been* through the portal before. He knows that traveling through it *should* be perfectly safe. But there's something...

"Wait," he says, trying to keep the undercurrent of fear from showing in his voice.

"Just... don't go through yet, okay?" Bridge implores.

And Jeremiah's reaction pretty much confirms the feeling that something is wrong that Bridge is picking up from the portal.

He slips off a glove and focuses on the portal, trying to figure out just *what* is wrong with it.

"Jeremiah can't go with you," Bridge says finally. "If both of you go through this portal-" he stops, unwilling to finish the thought.

"You need to go," Bridge says softly. "It'll be fine if you go by yourself. I can watch over Jeremiah for you."

Bridge can't help the slight giggle that escapes at Xander's instructions to Jeremiah as he takes the tank.

"I'll be a good frogsitter," he promises.

And it does. It really does. Bridge just lets himself drift in the tide of thoughts and emotions that are his and aren't his, at the same time.

Bridge's heart sinks just a little at that, because while he knows Xander will *try*- he also knows the phone call won't get through.

And as Xander disappears, Bridge can't help that, despite the decision not to use the word, it still feels like...

"Goodbye."
