Room 406, Morning

[izzyalienqueen]

The lack of a tree in her room had been bothering her, so Isabel spent Christmas Eve handwavily setting up a small tree on Xander's old desk. There's a stack of presents still to be distributed.

The door's open, the carols are playing and Isabel is wearing her penguin pajamas waiting for people to stop by.

"I don't have a camera," she shook her head, tugging gently at the ribbon, "but I think that'll be taken care of. Many baby kitten and puppy pictures in their future, I bet."

"If you want to get really carried away one day, I can help you make baby books for them," Isabel offered. "First walk, first catnip coma." Annie the ferocious beast tried to wrestle the ribbon away.

Dawn laughed at Annie's antics, but didn't let go, pulling and tugging and bobbing the ribbon. "Baby books? What are those?" Maybe she should make three...

"I've only seen one, because my experience with babies if very limited thank god," Isabel said. "But my mom's friend was making one for her daughter. It's a book that marks the hightlights of a baby's first year. Maybe we could do an animal themed one."

"I haven't seen any," Dawn smiled slightly, thinking of how that would be changing next summer, "That could be fun. I'm not sure the guys would fill them in, though."

"Unfortuanately you're probably right," she agreed. "You might get stuck doing it. Of course that would probably make them grateful. Which is never a bad thing."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"No, it's really not," she laughed.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"But you would never take advantage of them being grateful would you?" Isabel said, trying to look innocent.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn looked just as innocent. "Me? Of course not!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Never," she snickered. "But seriously? Things are good? Sam't treating you alright?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Of course he is!" Dawn was smiling goofily again, "He's Sam. I don't think he could treat me badly, even if he wanted to."

"We got lucky didn't we?" Isabel asked, her hand on the necklace Greg had given her.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"We really did." Dawn looked around. "Hey, where's Greg?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Home," Isabel pouted. "I understand that he wants to see his family. But I still miss him.

"Oh, man, that sucks," Dawn pouted in solidarity with Isabel. "I'm sorry."

"I'll survive. Although Jack's gone off adventuring as well," she said with a grumble. "Poor Cedric and I have been abandoned."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You should abandon them right back," Dawn decided, "Like, go to Maui or something, so everyone gets back and is like 'blah, blah, blah, family sucks,' and you can be all tan and say 'gee, that's too bad, you should have come with us.'"

"Actually Cedric and I keep talking about running away to Mexico," Isabel pointed out. "This wouldn't be a bad time. Serve them right for leaving us alone."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Do either of you speak Spanish?" Dawn asked, just out of curiosity. "Otherwise, I think this is a good plan. Yay, revenge travel."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I speak a bit. Granted it's not the most polite," she chuckled. "Michael learned it from the cook at the Crashdown and then taught me some."

Dawn snickered.
