Room 406, all day

It hadn't been a bad last week in Fandom. Between being social, seals, presents, and reality TV, it was certainly memorable. Even if the good-byes weren't so much fun.

There wasn't much left to pack. But Isabel was taking her time doing it.

The door was open.

[OOC: Good-bye post. *sniffles* Assume handwavey phone calls. ETA: Random bouts of SP for the rest of the afternoon due to RL.]

"That is the million dollar question. Which means that we're going to have to find that out." Without warning Wyatt that they were coming.

"Thanks," she said. "And I'll try Peter first, I know him better." A beat. "We pretended to be squirrels together, you know."

...when they were weetiny. Shhh.

Meg laughed. "I'm sure Dawn would be up for it. She likes making people flail."

"Fruity drinks, served by cabana boys who are attentive to your every need." She wasn't sure who was enjoying the mental picture more, her or Jen.

"I will do my best," Isabel promised. "At least while he's with me. After that, I'm just making lots of phone calls and keeping Portalocity's number handy."

"Hey, if you ever want to surprise him, just give me a call," he offered. "I can always orb out, grab you and orb you to him."

Actually Isabel was probably enjoying it more; Jen kept telling herself she shouldn't be thinking that way. (The concise version of her thoughts, should they be put into words, was pretty much "OMGwrongwrongsowrong.")

"Okay, okay!" she finally said. "I'll come visit!"

Isabel smiled fondly. "He's a sweetheart. And a good guy to know."

"Squirrels? Did you drink rum?"

Isabel couldn't help the small involuntary shudder that ran through her at the sight of the tattoo. Some memories were still painful over a year later.

"It's healed."

"He's fun," she conceded. "We just don't seem to run in the same circles very well."

A beat.

"We were weetiny. And hiding from his brother."

"I'm game when you are. Just let me know when."

"So when are you leaving?" she asked.

"Excellent," Isabel grinned, her mission accomplished. "You'll have fun, I promise."

"So what's that?" she asked, finally noticing the card Jen carried.

"Yeah," Anders said, then fell silent for a moment, realizing the implications. "Yeah."

He turned around and tucked his thumbs into his belt, posing for the camera. "Ready when you are -- glad I got a chance to get a tan our last couple of stops, too."

"Funny you should mention that," she said. "Meg and I were just talking about a surprise visit out there. And if your grandfather would think Wyatt had a harem."

[identity profile] goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm trying to stay as long as long as possible," Meg said. "So not till the end of August."

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Chris laughed. "I don't think Grandpa would be the least bit surprised if Wyatt had a harem."

"Oh, this?" Jen pressed down on one corner of the card, a button so well-concealed it was nearly invisible, and a small three-dimensional holographic image of herself came up -- waving, and actually smiling a little.

"I had no idea what else to get you," she admitted, "but they do say a picture is worth a thousand words, so . . ."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Have they seen it yet?" she asked, knowing that it was important to Anders.

"You look very fit and tan."

*click*

Isabel checked the viewscreen on the camera and decided she'd send a copy to Bel and Phoebe as well. They'd appreciate it.

"Very nice."

"It happens," she nodded. "Maybe you'll have a class together or something."

Isabel had to smile at the image of a wee Peter pretending to be a squirrel. "So no rum then."

"You'll get to enjoy the continued world tour then," Isabel grinned. "Send me postcards."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"You didn't have to get me anything," she said. "But that is really neat. Thank you."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"A harem of one," Isabel said immediately. "At least these days."

[identity profile] cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, it's a surprise," Anders replied. "They'll see it when I get there -- they have no idea I was even getting it."

He preened a little bit and tried to peer at the camera. "Lemme see!"

[identity profile] neurotic-witch.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't think even my brother is dumb enough to go against you, Isabel," he assured her.

[identity profile] time-flyer-5.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"Had to get something," Jen protested. "I would've had a nasty first few weeks here if you hadn't warned me about the mutant thing."
