Outside Meerkat Cabin for now

[izzyalienqueen]

After trying out for a cheerleading position and then laughing with Aeryn at John and Greg's antics, and talking to Elizabeth, Isabel returned to Meerkat and took a long nap. She finally ventured out again as the sun was going down. Stopped on the steps overlooking the other cabins, she tried to figure out where to go. She wasn't looking for anyone in particular, really.

Greg wasn't looking for anyone in particular, either. Really.

Which is why his face totally didn't light up when he saw Isabel. "Hey."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hey yourself," Isabel said with bright smile of her own. "How have you been?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Bored. Spent a quiet day reading in my alcove," he said innocently. "How did your cheer tryout go?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Just reading? I see," she said, trying hard not to laugh. "It went okay. But I'm really not sure I'm going to get a spot on the team. The competition was pretty fierce."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure you knocked them dead," he assured her. "The competition might have been kind of awesome and very good at the splits, but you were totally better. I'm sure of it."

"The competition did jazz hands. I can't compete with that," she said sadly. "I'm going to be forced to cheer you on from the bleachers. And the cheering just won't be the same without the tiny skirt."

"You could always just wear a tiny skirt for fun," Greg suggested with a smirk.

Isabel blushed, "I don't think so."

Greg blushed, too. "So...what are you up to tonight?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Cursing my internet connection. Nothing much," she shrugged. "I was going to take a walk and maybe crash a campfire. Why? Do you have a better idea?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"I could be persuaded to take a walk. You know, if you wanted company," Greg said with a small smile.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Company is always welcome," she smiled as she stepped down off the stairs. "Any ideas on where to walk to?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"We could walk the trail we ran before?" he suggested, inclining his head in that direction.

"That'd be nice. Although I worry that we're stepping into the middle of a horror movie," Isabel grinned. "Isn't that how they always start? Just an innocent walk in the woods and then the guy with a chainsaw comes out?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"It's okay, if a guy with a chainsaw comes out, I'll distract him and we can make a quick getaway," Greg promised. "Besides, I wanted to talk to you about something, anyway."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"We'll distract him," she countered. "I'd rather not be the defenseless blonde. She's usually one of the first victims." Isabel bumped against Greg's shoulder as she started to walk. "About what?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"It's a nice day today," he stalled. "And I would never think of you as a defenseless blonde, because I remember having blue hair way too well."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's my Stickbug defense. I still need to work on the chainsaw defense though." Isabel smiled as they entered the trees. "This is so different then Roswell."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"And San Gabriel," he agreed, nodding. "More humid. More lush. Prettier."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Exactly, Roswell is so dry and just...brown," she agreed. "Have you lived in San Gabriel all your life?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Born and raised there, yup," he said, nodding. "I'm not staying there for college, I think. Going to go somewhere less dry. Maybe in upstate California."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That would be nice. I've never been up to Northern California but from the pictures I've seen it looks gorgeous. Do you ski?" she asked.

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Not well," he admitted. "But I snowboard, kind of."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I haven't tried that. It looks like fun though," she smiled. "Most of my time skiing was spent trying to stay upright."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"See, most of mine was spent on the ground because I failed at that," Greg said with a grin, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
