Room 406, Wednesday evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel tried not to think about the ongoing election, or, more importantly, Monday night's conversation with Jarod. Instead she focused on a successful first day as a library aide and Annie as she chased a balled up piece of paper around the room.

The door was open although a chair was blocking it to prevent a wee kitten from escaping.

Greg bounced up to see the other person who he was supporting by his...blueness.

"Hi!" he said, sticking his face through the door.

Isabel...boggled. The paper Annie had been chasing dropped to the floor. "Oh my god."

"What?" Greg asked, trying not to smile. "Do I have something on my face?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Your face, your chest, your arms," she laughed. "I love it! Thank you!"

"I'm ensuring people vote for you," Greg said happily. "I went for subtle. Think anyone might've noticed it?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure," Isabel said, patting the spot on the floor next to her. "It's pretty subtle. I'm not sure anyone would have picke up on it."

"One of the teachers thought I should sing," Greg said, stepping in and sitting down, giving Annie a scritch before settling onto the floor.

"Sing what?" she asked, gingerly touching the paint to see how easily it would come off. "Please don't say Rob Thomas."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"He said no Rob!" Greg looked sad. "Doobie Brothers."

"Oldies but goodies," Isabel laughed. "My parents like them. So I actually know their music. Did you actually sing?"

"No, I wanted to attract the voters," Greg explained.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I see," she nodded. "That makes sense in a way. Peter and I appreciate it."

"I met a guy named Eric Weiss, too!" Greg said. "He forgave me for supporting other candidates, though."

"He's in my campaigning class," Isabel said. "He seems nice but my votes were already allocated."

Annie slowly came over and started to stalk the big blue thing.

Greg peered at Annie. "Is she being all ferocious?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Apparently," she chuckled. "Maybe she thinks you're a smurf?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Smurfs aren't scary," Greg said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No but to a cat I bet they make fun toys to bat around," she pointed out. "Annie just hasn't figured out that you're much bigger then she is."

"Awww. Kitties are dumb," Greg said affectionately.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Isabel said indignantly. "I think she's pretty damn brave to try and take you on. Even if she is wee and tiny."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"This is true," Greg said, nodding. "But she is also wee and tiny and confused about how large I am."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"So she's more brave then bright," she laughed. "She's still cute and loveable. Just like someone else I know."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you're right, she's exactly like Aeryn."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'd dare you to tell her that, but you would." Isabel sighed, "And then she'd hurt you and I'd be sad."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"You don't think Aeryn would want to be compared to a ferocious kitty?" Greg looked sad.
