Room 406, afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel had reached the point where studying just wasn't happenening any longer. A quick phone call had Parker appearing, loaded down with gifts.

The door was open, the carols were playing, Annie was wearing a wee Santa hat and Parker and Isabel were laughing like demented elves as they ate chocolate and drank eggnog while waiting for people to come by so they could hand out holiday presents.


[Assume handwavey phone calls telling their friends to stop by!]

"Ooh, pretty. And eeee!" Zero bounced as she opened the tickets. "No, this time I'm a presents-delivering elf instead of a rescuing elf. And speaking of which..." Zero held out a largish box containing this, this, this, and this. "Happy Christmas."

"Thank you! You like the Femmes? I wasn't totally sure... And yay on presents-delivering." Parker ripped open the box and said "Ooooooo!" she lifted out the shawl and draped it over herself. "Pretty, pretty-- and ooo, I love this bracelet!" The coffee and car charms made her chortle. "Oh, so awesome. One for Dave, one for the Miata, one for the Porsche. You. Rock."

"Of course I like the Violent Femmes! I sort of am one, after all." Zero looked impish as she reached into her messenger bag and pulled out two strands of prayer flags. "Also for Dave."

"Because he needs them," Parker snickered, shaking her head. "How long are you sticking around until?"

"I'll be headin' out first thing Friday mornin'," Zero said. "I need the extra time to play with the twins, y'know."

"I knooow." Parker grinned. "I'm probably not going to be back before New Year's." She twisted the bracelet on her wrist, looking very pleased. "So if I don't see you before then, say hi to your family for me, and get pix of the little demons."

[swerval_zero]

"Absolutely," Zero promised. "Say hello to...I don't know. Anyone who doesn't think I'm a bad influence. Sydney, I suppose. And, squall, your father too. He can handle it."

"Definitely. He can just deal," Parker said determinedly. "And Angelo. I'm getting him a copy of Teal Dear's songs, and five bucks says he plays it to death. Especially 'Kicking Trolls'."

[swerval_zero]

"That's the spirit! Spread the joy of kicking trolls!"
