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!]

"No worries, I'll admit it, I'm insane and have been shopping since September," Isabel grinned. Reaching into the pile of gifts she pulled out a small box and a larger box. "These are for you!"

[The small box has the Garnet and Copper Gemstone Necklace found about 1/4 of the way down on this page]

"Maybe next year I'll start that early," says Aeryn, who knows she probably won't. She opens up the small box first, looking at it. "That's quite nice, actually."

"I liked it. It's different but not gaudy," she said. "And the colors suit you."

"Thank you," she says, and moves on to the second. "It's a fish."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's also a fishbowl," Isabel said. "So either the Sea Monkeys can have a new home or else you can get a new fish. Maybe a fighting fish."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn's eyes widen a little. "There are fish that fight here?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yup, Siamese fighting fish," she nodded. "You can only keep one in a container. And if you hold a mirror up to it, it'll get all puffed up and aggressive, thinking it's facing another fish."

"It would make up for the shark that doesn't eat people," she says. Seriously, she needs a fighting fish.

"It would yes," Isabel grinned. "Have you seen Teeth Jaws yet?"

[can_be_more]

"I haven't," she says. "What is it?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It's a movie about a shark terrorizing a small coastal town," she explained. "It's a classic horror movie. We'll have to watch it one night. You might never go in the ocean again."

"Consider it a plan," she says. "With Bruno. Maybe he'll pick up some tips on how to act like a shark."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"What are you doing over break?" Isabel asked. "Maybe we can watch it then?"

[can_be_more]

"I'm spending part of it at Angel's thing," she says. "I'm not sure when, though. I should be around the rest of the time. What are your plans?"

"Pretty much just hanging out here," she said. "It'll be nice to have some quiet down time. Besides, someone needs to keep Jack out of trouble. Especially if he's still being rained on by pies."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn does not smirk, really. "He was being rained on by pies? Like... the dessert?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel grinned, "Yes, apple, chocolate cream, pumpkin. You name it, it fell on him."

[can_be_more]

"Is it still falling on him? Which room is he in?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"He's in 215. I'd suggest bringing a spoon if you stop by."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn also realizes that the last time she was in there might have been when she shot him. Fifty-fifty shot on that one, no pun intended. "On second thought, maybe I'll just keep the image in my head."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well considering radio said that he was naked and covered with pie at some point yesterday, I don't blame you," Isabel grinned. "It's a pretty image."

[can_be_more]

Aeryn blinks. "I've already seen him naked much more than I have almost everyone else I've ever met, so I'm going to dislodge the image now."
