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!]

Molly grinned. "Yay!" She sat down and unwrapped the gift. "Oh! This is pretty." She ran the hat through her fingers. "And warm! Yay!"

She stood up again to give Isabel a hug. "Thank you, Isabel."

"You're welcome. Merry Christmas!" Isabel said as she hugged her back. "What are you doing for the holiday?"

"I'm going to Angel's," Molly said excitedly. "You are too, right?"

"I'm not actually," she shrugged. "Someone needs to stay here and keep Jack and Cedric out of trouble."

"You're not?" Molly looked really disappointed. "I was sure you were going. I was going to bake cookies or something for everyone since I could only afford to get gifts for a couple people."

"I thought about it," Isabel said. "But at this point the guys are like family, and I want to be with them for the holiday."

Molly nodded. "That makes sense. Ray is going with me so I'll get to spend Christmas with him there. I thought I wasn't leaving many of my friends here at school, but now maybe I should see who else isn't going."

"That's nice. Greg's going home but he promises to be back by New Year's," she said, smiling a bit dreamily. "Which is actually our six month anniversary so I hope he can make it. I think there's so many new people that don't know Angel, there's bound to be a few left behind."

"Wow! Six months? That's great! I hope he can get back for that too," Molly said.

"Yeah, I didn't think everyone was going, but of my friends who know Angel, I thought most were."

"Yeah, that's pretty much my reaction as well. Six months? Oh my god..." Isabel mock flailed. "And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mess things up for you."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you won't be messing anything up!" Molly said hurriedly. "I can always make cookies for you on Friday or Saturday before I leave. I will just miss you being there."

"I'll never turn down cookies," she grinned. "And I will miss everyone that's there having fun without me."

"I will take lots of pictures," Molly promised.
