Room 406, early evening

[izzyalienqueen]

The carnival had been fun, and Isabel had enjoyed the chance to catch up with Angel, hang out with Parker and try her hand at some of the games. Technically using her powers wasn't cheating if the game was already rigged.

"Don't do it," she called out as Annie started to stalk the hedgehog. "That's for Greg. Not for you." Isabel held out her hand, sending one of Annie's toys bouncing across the floor. Distracted, the kitten bounded away from the stuffed animal.

With Annie distracted, Isabel concentrated on getting her hair into a twist, with a few tendrils falling about her face. Finally she slipped on her garters and stockings, then pulled on her dress. A look at the clock showed she still had time to spare.

The door was closed but knockable.

Dawn, in her robe, underwear, stockings, and shoes, and carrying her dress, knocked on Isabel's door.

Isabel opened the door and grinned. "Hi! Need a place to get dressed?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I need zipping, plus advice on what to do with my hair. It's just so flat," she complained.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Zipping I can do," Isabel said, stepping aside so Dawn could come in. "As for your hair? Do you want it up or down?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um...what do you think?" She laid the dress carefully on the bed. "What about curls?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Curls would be nice," she agreed. "And I can do that easily enough."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Yay," Dawn said happily, "I always end up missing the back of my head. I love your dress, by the way."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Isabel smiled. "I hope Greg likes it as well." She motioned towards the desk chair. "Take a seat, I'll see what I can do?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, okay," she said, sitting down. "Thank you, Isabel. And he's going to love it. How could he not?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes I think I could wear burlap and he'd like it," Isabel laughed as she disappeared into the bathroom for a moment before returning with a container of bobby pins and a brush. "How about if I do it up in a loose knot? And then leave some long curls hanging?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You can do that?" Dawn glanced back over her shoulder at Isabel. "Because I'm kind of impaired when it comes to my head."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I can," she said, starting to gather up Dawn's hair. "It was either learn how to do different things or spend my whole life with it up in a ponytail.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I can manage a braid and pigtails, but that's about it," Dawn said, trying to sit still.

Corsage (which, naturally, was gray) in hand, Greg knocked on Isabel's door and smoothed his hair yet again.

Isabel opened the door and smiled happily. "Hi handsome."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Hello, gorgeous," he replied in turn. "And tonight the name is especially fitting."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You're too sweet," she blushed. She stepped back away from the door. "I have something for you."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Did you get me a flower too?" Greg asked seriously, holding up her wrist corsage.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh pretty," Isabel squeed. "Thank you. It's lovely." She turned briefly and picked up the hedgehog. "I don't know why but for some reason I thought you should have him."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"It's...a fluffy thingy?" Greg said, uncertain.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's a hedgehog," she explained. "I thought it was cute and adorable. Much like you."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww."

Greg cleared his throat. "Um. I mean, I appreciate it in a...studly, masciline way."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad," Isabel said, walking over to kiss his cheek. She held out her hand, "Would you like ot put it on me?"

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Okay!" Greg said, taking the corsage out and biting his lip as he carefully tied it around her wrist. "Is that too tight or anything?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's perfect," she smiled. "Ready to go then?"
