“... Miss, miss, wake up.”

Isla’s eyes shot up as she immediately bolted into a sitting position, looking at the unfamiliar woman that had been shaking her awake. She seemed to have fallen asleep on a park bench. It was about the middle of the day with a bright sunlight beating down that immediately made her realise that she was dressed far too warmly. And that something wasn’t right… because there was no way that it would get this hot in Scotland. 

“Are you alright?” 

“Uh, yeah,” she lied as she turned her attention back to the stranger that was peering at her with concern. “Excuse me, where am I?”

“Tampa, Florida,” the woman looked even more concerned at the question.

Isla, however, did a very good job of keeping the shock from her face and just grinning instead. “Ah, just making sure! You know how it can be when you accidentally fall asleep in a park and then you don’t know if you’re in the same place when you wake up!”

“Sure,” the woman stuttered. “Well, if you’re alright…”

“I am.”

The woman just gave another nod, before hurrying away. Isla let out a heavy sigh as her smile dropped, leaning back on the bench and grabbing her hair in frustration. Wasn’t the portal supposed to take them [i]home[/i]? How the fuck had she ended up in Florida of all places. Of course she’d always wanted to visit, but not like this. She pulled out her phone and groaned at the lack of signal. Because of course, she didn’t have a contract that worked in America. She also didn’t have her passport on her which meant she couldn’t just find a flight back home.

She also had no money. 

Fuck it. Isla stood up with a frown. She just had to make the most of a bad situation! First, she’d find (steal) some money and get a hotel with wi-fi so she could get on the net. Then, she’d take a nice long nap and wake up to decide what to do. 

Might as well enjoy all that Florida had to offer while she was here.
