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!]

"That would be the best Christmas present in the history of everything and I would love you forever," Anders declared. "And I'd take just as good care of him as I took care of Bel's frakking egg."

Parker stopped, and gave him a look of what? "Bel made you take care of his egg? Hunh now?"

"Yeah, he had me egg-sit for a little while yesterday," Anders said, waving a dismissive hand. "Didn't want it to break while he had an errand to run."

Hell of a time for him to finally learn discretion, really.

"Ah." Parker boggled a moment, then moved on to: "And what's the going rate for egg-sitting these days?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hell if I know," Anders replied with a shrug. "He still owes me for that one."

"Ah." As usual. Parker rolled her eyes. "Yeah, just... y'know, shutting up now. Anything I could say here would be pushing it." She smirked at him. "ANYway...."

"Although," Anders mused thoughtfully, "me showing up in a towel and making him freak out could've been payback enough . . ."

Parker stared at him, then chortled gleefully. "Seriously? Oh, Anders. Daisy! I am *so* proud." She put her hand over her heart, looking sentimental. "This is a glad, glad day. Payback has been rendered."

Anders smirked, looking horribly self-satisfied. "See? I can be evil."

"You really can." Parker patted his cheek. "I think I shall cry. No, I'll drink a toast to you with this ambrosia when I open it, that's what I'll do." She grinned. "I'm going to the Hannukah party in a little bit, see you there?"

"You will," Anders promised. "I'm gonna go run down to the garage now and make sure Bridge's birthday present is all presentable before we give it to him. See you in a bit, Parker."
