Room 406, Evening

[izzyalienqueen]

After spending the weekend hibernating, Isabel finally managed to get out and socialize. She'd met Door and talked to Jaye while hanging posters for the Student Council elections. She'd also been happy to find out that she was picked to be a library aide. It seemed like things were finally looking up after last week. Finally returning to her room, Isabel picked up her reading for Interstellar Relations and settled in for the night.

[The door's closed but knockable.]

"Who's Madge?" Peter - who was born in 1990 - asked. His mun has vague memories of her from the 80's, though, and thinks that dating yourself as a child of any decade would be weird. And probably illegal.

"A character from the Palmolive commercial. She was a manacurist and used to soak peoples' hands in it." Isabel made a face, "I watched way too much TV when I was little."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Ah, okay," Peter said. "I read a lot and watched too many cartoons. I must have missed out on the dish washing commercials. Or ignored them."

"I'll admit this only because you're one of my best friends. I was addicted to The Price is Right," she said sheepishly.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Everyone watches The Price Is Right at some point," Peter said. "That's why everyone knows about the 'closest without going over' rule."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No, I was really addicted," Isabel grinned. "I had to watch every day. I wanted to be one of the models when I grew up."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Dork," Peter said cheerfully.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I am," she nodded. "And if you tell anyone I'll have to do...something."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"How many people do you know who are dorkier than me?" Peter said. "Besides Greg. Your dorkiness is safe with me."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hey live my personal dork out of this. Although you're right. Aren't you King Dork at least according to Jaye?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"That's Jaye. She's nuts. You can't trust her," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"She's nice. And funny. I don't see why you can't get along. You bicker like Max and I," Isabel said as the mun died of meta.

"I've said it before, I'll say it again: she's like the sister I never wanted," Peter said. Again. As he said he would.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sisters are fun though! We can pick on you, advise you on fashion, rate your girlfriends," she explained. "Having a sister is fun."

"I'm perfectly happy as an only child," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You just don't know what you're missing," Isabel said sadly.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"I'm missing out on having someone like Jaye around, apparently," Peter said, smiling.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You could have somebody like me," she pointed out. "Would that be so bad?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"But then I'd be like Max and you'd be annoyed with me all the time," Peter laughed.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You do have a point," Isabel said, laughing. "In that case, I won't bug you about having a sister anymore. You'll just have me."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"I can deal with that," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Perfect. Hi five?" she asked.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Hi five," Peter said, raising his hand.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel grinned, raised her own hand and slapped it against Peter's. "You know? In spite of some crappy stuff I've found out? Life is actually pretty damn good right now."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Crappy stuff?" Peter asked.
