Meerkat, Isabel's Alcove, early afternoon

Isabel didn't get in until late Friday night after spending the evening swimming at the beach. That means her plans for a hot and humid Saturday included sleeping in and and then some brain candy. Sprawled on her bed, she's re-reading the newest pirate/ninja novel and snickering.

Her curtain is open.

"All it means is that I live at least another year. I might not even get my shield." Alanna threw her hands up. "I don't know. I'm confused, upset, and scared because Parker apparently talked to Roger and I couldn't ask her if she called me Alan or Alanna because I was too drunk."

Isabel nodded, starting to understand Alanna's concerns. "You'll get it. You want it to much to not get it. As for Parker, she knows that you're supposed to be Alan there right?"

Alanna nodded. "She's supposed to. But I think she was pissed at Roger. Which, yay Parker. But if she let something slip? I'm dead."

Considering all the secrets Parker was keeping, somehow Isabel doubted it. "I'm sure she didn't. She's too good at keeping her mouth shut and protecting her friends. But you can always ask her, just to make sure."

Alanna nodded and grabbed a cookie. "Life? Is way too complicated sometimes."

"You're only just realizing this?" Isabel asked.

Alanna snorted and winced. "It just wanted to remind me. So what's your future career? Since you said yours is set."

"There's a planet that has to be saved," she said quietly. "I've already died there once. There's a chance it could happen again."

Alanna chocked on her cookie. "How does that work?"

"We were killed in battle," Isabel explained, trying not to think about the part where it happened because she betrayed her brother. "Somehow our mother managed to combine our alien essence with human DNA to create who we are now. We were sent to earth to grow up safely until we could return to save them."

"...Woah. Yeah, I can see where the set future will come in." Alanna blinked a bit.

"Exactly," she said. "I really don't want to do it. I like my life here, I've got family, friends. I don't remember there at all. But if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here, you know?" Isabel looked down, studying the blanket. "So I sort of owe them I guess."
