Room 406, morning

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel still felt a bit guilty about leaving Annie behind while she was in LA so she decided to spend the morning making it up to her. Mostly that meant using her powers to send a small toy mouse zooming around the room for the cat to stalk.

The door was open so she could meet some of the new or even not so new people if any happened to wander by.

"I know, I'm just a truly, absolutely, horrible person. Someone should warn all the new people about me." She unwrapped a piece of chocolate and stared at it for a minute. "Mostly I'm good. I'm worried about Jack a little. But other then that, all's right in Isabel's world."

"Why? What's wrong with Jack?" Dawn asked.

"He had to take a trip over the break," Isabel said. "From what I can tell, it wasn't all fun and games. He's tired, out of sorts, so I worry."

"I hope he's okay," Dawn said with a frown.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"He will be," she said firmly. "I'll just fuss over him until he is."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"That should definitely make him want to get better," Dawn said. "God forbid he disappoint you."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hey! I really do worry about him!" Isabel said. "And he'd never disappoint me!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I know you do, but you get a little scary determined when you want something to happen," Dawn explained her reasoning. "I can't imagine that he wouldn't get better if that's what he knew you wanted."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Me? Determined? Never!" But she laughed, "I know I can go overboard at times. But in this case? I really do want him to be okay. He doesn't have much time left and I want it all to be happy times."

"Doesn't have much time left?" Dawn sat up and stared at Isabel, wide-eyed and imagining the worst. "He's dying?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel blinked. Repeatedly. Then laughed out loud. "Dying? No! He graduates in May you dope!"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn hid behind her hair, blushing. "I knew that."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Patting Dawn's shoulder, Isabel smiled. "It's an honest mistake. Especially the way I phased it."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"If you need help cheering him up, I could do maybe help with that?" Dawn offered. "Like an assistant cheerer upper."

"He's doing okay," she said, remembering how she'd napped on his shoulder. "But he does deserve something fun. Any ideas?"

"Chocolate always seems to go over well," Dawn suggested.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate is good," Isabel agreed. "But we have to go beyond the standard box of chocolates. It needs to be something silly and fun."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um," Dawn thought for a minute, "Costumes? Not, like, sexy ones, but silly ones?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yes, the sillier the better," she nodded. "I refuse to be responsible for what he'd say if we showed up in French maid outfits."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn blinked. "I think I'm too young to know."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Think of what you know about Jack, and just use a little imagination," Isabel chuckled.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn blushed bright red and eeped.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's Jack," she grinned. "I doubt he'd mean it seriously. With us at least. But he'd probably just say it to see how red he can make us."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"So, let's not do that," Dawn decided. "Um, think goofy. Animals?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Even better! Alien animals. Meep. Meep. Uh-huh!"
