Room 406, afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

After a Thursday that included finals, playing Santa with Jarod at the Perk, delivering presents to Parker, and then running the coffee cart, Isabel was ready for a quiet day.

The door's open and Isabel is sprawled on her bed watching the few Christmas movies they didn't get to watch last night.

"Of course," she nodded. "I thought about going home, but that means dealing with Max. I think I'll stay here instead. Even with deranged Santa's occasionally running through town, it'll stil be a lot quieter."

"Not if there's an invasion of Santas," Peter said. "The ho ho hoing alone will be way too noisy."

"You realize who I'm going to blame if that does happen?" Still laughing, Isabel pulled out two colorfully wrapped boxes. "Here, considering your recent experiences, I didn't want to traumatize you by having the big guy deliver them."

"You should blame Santa if it happens," Peter said. "It'll be his fault. Oh, and here, these are for you." Peter handed two packages over as he took his presents from Isabel.

"I'll blame him only after I get my presents," she grinned, cheerfully ripping into the wrapping paper. She immediately slipped the ring on, then unrolled the poster. "Oh very nice. I like that. A lot."

"I figure that with the mood ring, you can change it to whatever color you wanted it to convey. It fits the original purpose but features more user input," Peter said, opening his gifts.

"I like the button. And... a pig. It's a very nice pig." Peter wasn't sure why exactly he was given a clay pig, but it would still get displayed.

"You do have a point," Isabel agreed. "I'll keep that in mind should it suddenly decide my happy mood is best signified by some hideous shade of puce. And that's a good luck pig. He's supposed to bring you good fortune somehow I have a feeling you're going to need it in the spring."

"A good luck pig?" Peter asked with a smile on his face. "A good luck pig. I could probably use good luck, even from a pig. Thank you."

"You're welcome. And back at you of course," she grinned. "I hope you have a nice peaceful Christmas with your aunt."

"And you have a very merry Christmas here," Peter said. He stepped over and gave Isabel a hug. "Don't get invaded."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"If there's an invasion? I'm going back to bed and sleeping through it," Isabel said, returning the hug happily. "Also, I owe you an apology."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"You do?" Peter asked. "Why?"

Isabel pointed to the pile of presents she still needed to give people. "I've got several presents for Greg. I'm pretty sure you're going to hate one of them. So I'm apologizing in advance."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"You're a terrible best friend," Peter said, glaring at the pile.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"But I'm a very good girlfriend!" she replied. "It's hard to find the balance when the two of you live together!"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Excuses, excuses," Peter said. "How bad will it be for me?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Once the initial thrill wears off? Probably just an occasional annoyance," Isabel laughed. "As long as you keep your eyes covered, you shouldn't have to worry about injuries."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"You're frightening me," Peter said. "I'll be sure to wear goggles at all times."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I really am sorry. I just saw it, and knew he had to have it," she shrugged sheepishly.

"You'll pay for this, Evans. You'll pay for it," Peter said. "But until then, I have to finish wrapping gifts for other people, so I should get going. Have a very good Christmas, okay?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'll make it up to you, I promise!" Isabel said, smiling. "I will. You to okay?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Definitely," Peter said. He gave a wave and headed back to his room.
