Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

The weekend had been bittersweet at best. It had been wonderful to actually meet Victoria and all her cousins. But significantly less wonderful to find out that there was a reality where Wyatt and Savannah never made it back from Cairo in the past. Still it had been fun to spend time as a family and get a glimpse of what the future held.

But after a loud and crazy dinner, they'd had to say good-bye.

She'd spent most of Tuesday cleaning her room in preparation for her family visiting this weekend before finally settling down on her bed and flipping on the TV. Hopefully the boys of the Bering Sea would be a good distraction.

The door was open.

Amused, Isabel grinned. "Good because it'd be nice to see Matt and Maddie again at some point in the future."

Chris smiled. "Yeah, well, I wouldn't mind seeing Victoria again either."

"Eventually. Right now there's this thing called college." In separate dimensions. Over a decade apart in time. Isabel sighed. "It's going to be a long four years."

"At least your boyfriend can orb," Chris said, figuring that her sigh was related to distance.

"Yeah, but it'll be a little hard to explain to whatever roommate I have how my boyfriend is visiting from California so often. Unless I say he's rich and has a private plane. But there's the time thing to," she pointed out. "Which makes things even more difficult."

"Yeah... the time thing will be an issue for me and Summer, too," Chris admitted. "But apparently our future selves managed to work around it, so I'm not going to stress."

"True enough," Isabel agreed. "I guess, I don't know. I'm just used to having him around." Especially at night. There were still nights she didn't sleep well, remembering Kivar or Meris or people being sick. "It's going to be a big change. Which kind of stinks."

"Definitely," Chris said. "You could always make him apply to your school."

"Too late for fall semester. And besides, I'm a big girl. I'll cope," she replied.

"You'll make it work," he said. "Somehow, someway."

"That's what I keep telling myself," Isabel nodded. "And Victoria's proof. I just have to keep remembering that."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

Chris nodded. "Defiintely. You and Wyatt are good together."

"Thanks," she smiled. "He makes me happy."

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"You make him happy too," he said. "Plus I think you've actually managed to tame him somewhat. Which is highly impressive."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Was he really that wild?" Isabel asked curiously.

[neurotic-witch.livejournal.com]

"I shouldn't tell stories," Chris said. "He might kick my ass."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"And then I'd kick his," she promised. "One mild one? Just so I can tease him a little?"
