Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Saturday had been quiet after the memorial service, and Isabel had taken to opportunity to catch up Parker, spend some quiet time with friends, and ponder exactly how soon was soon.

Of course the quiet couldn't last long and Isabel was still boggling over the whole reverse-weetiny thing when she turned on her TV and sat down to watch the Amazing Race.

The door was open.

Sunday night meant TAR, though Wyatt didn't really need an excuse to visit Isabel's room. "Are we starting on time or is there a game delay?" he said, stepping into the doorway.

"Seventeen minute delay," she told him, sliding over to make room. "So you have plenty of time to get comfy."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt sat down and snuggled up against her. "There," he said. "Comfy."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel did some snuggling of her own. "Extremely so. Have you considered an alternate career as a pillow? I'd hire you."

[blessed_twice]

"Only if you promise not to spritz me with some girly pillow mist," Wyatt grinned.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No way," she said, tickling his neck with her nose and sniffing delicately. "You already smell too nice."

[blessed_twice]

"But would you say that if I was covered with demon goo?" Wyatt teased. "Vanquishes can be messy."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's where the nifty alien powers will come in handy," Isabel pointed out. "Them and a bottle of Lysol."

"Can you fix broken stained glass windows and grandfather clocks, too?" Wyatt said. "Grandpa said Mom and her sisters went through a lot of them."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I can," she smiled. "For the right price."

[blessed_twice]

"What's your fee?" Wyatt asked, running a hand along her leg.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"There's a sliding scale," Isabel answered, closing her eyes and shivering at his touch.

[blessed_twice]

"Can I start to earn credit?" Wyatt said, leaning in to give her a kiss.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh absolutely," she whispered, meeting him halfway.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt kissed her lips, then trailed his mouth along her jaw to her neck. He caught sight of the TV as he did so and murmured, "The camel nipples really add to the mood."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Camel nipples?" That certainly did change the mood. Isabel looked over at the TV and couldn't help but laugh. "She just performed a potentially obscene act on a camel. This cannot end well."

[blessed_twice]

"PETA's going to be all over that," Wyatt agreed. He winced as one of the racers yelled encouragement. "Didn't they tell them loud noises startle the camels, and that's a bad thing?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but those shrieks are supposed to be encouraging noises, don't you know? If I was on one of the other teams I think I'd have to kill someone."

Still bemused by the sudden change in mood, Isabel reached up and toyed with that collar of Wyatt's shirt, all the while still watching the TV in fascinated horror. "So did you notice anything weird today?"

[blessed_twice]

"Hmm? No, should I have?" Wyatt responded. He was still exhausted from the week and had done little all weekend other than sleep, scrounge for food, and snuggle the girlfriend.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

In other words, he had his priorities in the right order.

"There's weirdness afoot," she explained, lightly stroking a finger over his collarbone. "Either we've been sent twenty years in the future, or it's weetiny in reverse and some of our classmates have aged twenty years. I saw Johnny earlier when I went for a run. He's in his thirties."

[blessed_twice]

"You're kidding me," Wyatt said, eyes that had been lulled to close by her stroking finger snapping open. "Wait -- Chris isn't older than me now, is he? That would blow."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I haven't seen him so I don't know," Isabel laughed. "What's the matter? You don't want to be the little brother for a change?"

[blessed_twice]

"No!" Wyatt said. "He still gives me crap about when I was little and he stayed the right age."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry I missed little you. You were probably adorable as a little kid. Of course," she pointed out. "If you were a little kid, I couldn't do this." This, being tiny little kisses all along his jaw.

[blessed_twice]

"Of course I was adorable," Wyatt said, then made a soft noise of pleasure as she kissed him. "And I bet if you were 20 years older, you'd still be gorgeous."
