Room 406, Tuesday evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel's in her room reading Crown Diamond and enjoying the idea of not having anything to do for the next few days.

The door's open and she's completely interruptable.

Since it's just down the hall and it has been a few days, Cedric pokes his head inside the open door and grins.

"No dancing today?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm never dancing again," Isabel laughed. "At least not for extended periods like that."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Oh, but you did so well," Cedric says and comes inside. "I was truly inspired."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Right up until the point where we fell asleep standing up on the dance floor." She shook her head, "I can't believe we did that."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"It was adorable," Cedric says and he might be teasing. "I took a picture."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You did?" Isabel asked, eyes wide. "I need a copy. I'll put it on my wall with a reminder that this is not a good idea."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Oh, now, what makes you think I'd give something up so easily?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Because you're sweet and wonderful and going to run off to Mexico with me one day?" she said, fluttering her eyelashes rapidly.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Oh, flattery is always nice to hear," Cedric says, grinning broadly. "And, of course we're running away to Mexico one day. This picture won't get in the way of that, I hope."

"You're also charming and adorably cute in a shaggy way," Isabel smiled. "But unfortunately we need to put that trip to Mexico off for a while. I need to stick around."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"No trip to Mexico?" Cedric frowns dramatically. "I am dutifully crushed."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's not cancelled," she promised. "But Greg and I are speaking, and he's sticking around for the school year so I think I need to stick around with him."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"He can't come and fetch us drinks?" Cedric asks in a completely joking manner.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well," Isabel said slowly. "I suppose we'd each need a personal cabana boy. I'll bring Greg and you can bring Jack?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"That sounds like a very proactive solution to our problem of leaving them behind," Cedric decides. "A very fine plan."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Good. I'll book tickets." Grinning happily, Isabel patted her bed. "Come, take a seat. Tell me stories."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

He takes a seat and shrugs. "What stories would you like to hear on this fine night?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"A funny story," she said firmly. "There's too much sadness around this place this week with all the goodbyes."

Jack's meandering path led him from the Doctor, back to the dorms, and up to the fourth floor to lean in Isabel's doorway. "So, guess who got a job today?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Hmm." Thinking for a moment, he tries to remember something funny that's happened to him. "I once did a spell that obliterated my pants."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel blinked. "Please tell me it's not at the Sin."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel started to snicker. "You didn't?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Why not?" he asked, utterly straight-faced. "You don't think I'd be good at it?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I was young," he says in his defense. "And my underwear were clean!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You'd probably be very good at it," Isabel chuckled. "But I don't think Sam and Cedric would appreciate it."
