Room 406, morning

[izzyalienqueen]

Happy that she didn't have Friday classes, Isabel had her radio turned up loud as she packed for the wedding trip. She was glad that work had been quiet yesterday, and other then a quick trip to the Perk she'd been able to relax and nap recover from the night before.

For now though, she was looking forward to the wedding and the chance to catch up with friends.

There might have been dancing. And possibly some singing.

The door was open.

Anders's eyes went very, very wide.

"Somehow that's about fifty times more scarring than a simple TMI."

"Oh come on," she grinned. "You'd love it. A little girl that worshiped the ground you walked on and said you were her favoritest person in the world?" Not that Isabel was thinking of anyone specific. Nope, not at all.

Anders softened a bit. "Well, yeah," he conceded with a wistful smile.

Then, abruptly, and seemingly unprompted, he added, "It . . . would've been Pandora's first birthday next month."

"Really? Wow," Isabel said softly. "There's still a chance though. I mean you guys are still together. It'll just be a different time. But I bet you'd still be happy."

"Well," Anders amended, "she would've been born this December, actually. And part of me is really sorry that's not going to happen. And for two people who were talking about we weren't expecting to start growing up so soon, this is kind of a funny change of subject."

"It is," she agreed. "I blame Fandom. And the fact that if we didn't get our memory back? I would have been the one getting married last month."

Anders smirked slightly. "Yeah, well . . . close enough."

Isabel stuck her tongue out at him. "Oh shush. It was just a joke."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Anders said, because it was a little brother's time-honored duty to be a pain. "Suuuuuuuuuuuure it was."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't even dating him at the time!" she pointed out. "We were just goofing! Honestly!"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Anders said again, with the same slightly infuriating grin.

He took his little brother duties seriously.

"I'm never going to win am I?" Isabel sighed. "Unless..."

Tilting her head, she studied Anders thoughtfully. "Oh yeah, just a little bit of glitter. That would be perfect."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh, uh uh," Anders objected. "No glittering me! And no getting Ronan to do it either!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Fine," she pouted. "Take all my fun away."

"I already have a boyfriend to kiss," Anders informed her with mock dignity. "Isn't that enough for you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well technically," Isabel pointed out. "Your boyfriend was right there in my little mental image. The glitter was just to highlight certain, um, attributes."

"Oh my gods, please tell me you're kidding."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm not telling," she teased. "This is way more fun."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I swear," Anders sputtered. "No PDA in front of you ever again."

Isabel just looked smug.
