Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

After pranking, quality time with the boyfriend, and hot chocolate with Ronan, Isabel got back to her room just in time for ANTM.

"Oh Bianca, you're such a bitch."

The door was open.

"Not how you planned on it working it was it?" she asked.

"Cannot --" Thud. "Believe you --" Thud thud. "Ate it --" Thud THUD thudthud. "GRAPEFRUIT!!!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She was going to hell. "I never said we ate it."

"Oh my -- AUGH!!!" Anders covered his face with both hands. He looked like any second now he was going to drop to the floor and start rocking back and forth in a vague semblance of the fetal position.

"I'm sorry," Isabel said, trying hard not to laugh. "I'll stop now. I promise."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Too late," Anders said through his hands. "I'm already scarred for life."

He was, of course, conveniently forgetting every time he'd TMI'ed at her, but come on. Trauma!

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Welcome to club," she replied. "Maybe we can get a two for one special for a therapist to help us cope."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

He was totally going to blame the trauma later for his asking, "Two for one? What do you need to cope with?"

"How about all those times I've heard a bit too much detail about how you got those hickeys," Isabel pointed out.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"What hickeys?" demanded Anders, in a completely ineffectual display of feigned innocence that . . . only served to highlight one or two of the most recent (and quite frankly kind of spectacular) batch.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That one right there, and that one right there," she said dryly. "And I'd bet you have more of them but I really don't need to see."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, about five or --" He got the point. Belatedly, but he got it. "Honestly, pink?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You'd prefer lime green?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Pink," Anders said again, in a distinctively 'duh' tone of voice.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"A rather lovely shade to," Isabel said brightly.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I am not a pink guy," Anders objected, looking affronted. "And Bridge! Seriously, him in pink? So wrong."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It is a bit strange," she agreed. "But maybe he'll like it. It could be a good change for him."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Big sis," Anders chided, "that's like . . . blasphemy."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"So what are you suggesting I do?" Isabel asked. "Not that I'm admitting I ever did anything."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Change 'em back?" The puppydog face was back at full strength. "Bridge's, at least, if not mine?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I suppose I can do that. Maybe." First she'd get some promises. "I'm not going to find myself a victim of any pranks after this am I?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I would never pull a prank on my big sis," Anders said solemnly. He hadn't counted on there being prankish collateral damage, after all.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Okay then. I'll come down as soon as this is over and change things back," Isabel promised.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I love you, big sis," Anders said sweetly.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Love you to, little brother," she smiled. "Just next time? Remember. Raspberry."
