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.

Peter walked up to the door with a wrapped object and a smile. If his outfit looked somewhat elf-like... well, Santa's a bastard but Peter was able to keep the clothes, okay? "Hey, Isabel."

Isabel looked up and grinned as the pom-pom from her own hat fell into her face. "Hi!" she said, pushing it back. "I was wondering if I was going to see you before you left. You are going home aren't you?"

Greg wandered up to Isabel's room with his hands in his pockets. "I found something, honey!" he said, palming something in his hand.

"Tomorrow night, just for a few days, yeah," Peter said. "My aunt's not going to spend Christmas alone, after all."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"And now I'm not certain if I should be mildy curious, or outright terrified," she laughed. "Around here it can go either way."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"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."

Greg held up a sprig of something green and dangled it over their heads. "What d'you suppose this could be?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

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

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"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."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel smiled and tipped her face up to him. "Gee, I wonder."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Did you know mistletoe is a parasite?" he asked, grinning. "People don't usually talk about that part because it's icky."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I did," she nodded. "But it think the lovely Christmas tradition more then makes up for it. And you know how important traditions are to me."

"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.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"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."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"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.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"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."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"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."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

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

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"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?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

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."

Bel was aimlessly wandering the halls of the dorm when he passed by Isabel's open door. He paused and poked his head in. "Glad to be done with classes?" he said with a grin.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I am thrilled to be done with classes," Isabel grinned. "Come on in. You're going to LA right?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

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