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.

"Maybe it is," Dawn smiled. "I'm sure you'll do whatever is best for you."

"We'll see. The trick is going to be getting through the conversation without flailing or dying of embarassment." She pinned one last curl in place and stepped back. "There. Perfect. What do you think?" she asked, holding out a mirror.

"Oh, Isabel," Dawn squealed gleefully as she turned her head one way and the next. "It looks fabulous. Thank you sooooo much!"

"You'll be brilliant," she said, giving Isabel a quick hug.

"Glad I could help," Isabel smiled, returning the hug. "Sam is going to be speechless and you guys are goingto have a wonderful time tonight."

Dawn looked down at herself. "Okay, should have put the dress on first." She picked up the dress, unzipped it, slipped off her robe, and stepped into it.

Once it was settled, she presented Isabel with her back. "Zip me, please? It's either you or Sam."

"I'll do the zipping, Sam can do the unzipping. Which totally contradicts the baby steps thing," she laughed as she zipped up the dress. "Although if he does it with his eyes closed and then you immediately change into oversized flannel pjs that cover everything, you'll still be okay.

"Yeah, I'm not sure it's going to happen exactly like that," she said, blushing a little bit.

"Well whatever happens, I'm sure it's going to be perfect," Isabel said. "Now you'd better get going. You don't want to keep him waiting too long."

"Right," she gathered her robe and other assorted paraphrenalia. "Have fun tonight, if I don't find you in the crowd."

"You to. And if I don't find you, you're going to have to tell me all about it the next time I see you," Isabel ordered cheerfully.

"I will, I promise!" Dawn waved frantically as she made her way out the door.
