Room 406, evening

Isabel hit the common room kitchen after Hunting to make a quick batch of brownies, then made a quick trip down the hall to wave them in front of someone's door, and then returned to her room to write an email to Maria.



Hey Maria!

Another semester's begun. It's hard to believe it's been a year already. Officially the semester started on Monday. But the only thing I did was to stop by Greg's to see if he'd recovered from his hangover. He had and I got to meet his new roommate. And his new pet mold spore. Greg's, not the new roomie's. If he wakes up one morning and the thing is trying to eat him? I'm so saying I told you so.

Yesterday I had library detail. I got shanghaied by a teacher and got to torment my Little Brother. It was entertaining. My only class was Revolutions, which was fun because my friends were in it, and actually interesting. Of course it makes me wonder if we're doing the right thing with this whole save the planet deal but don't tell Max I said that.

Today was interesting. You know how I said I got shanghied by the teacher? She wanted me to play dead body for her Forensics class. It was actually interesting but I felt bad because seeing me like that sort of freaked Greg and Parker out. After that, it was Hunting and the now usual Gee, I'm an alien speech.

In non-class news, I had lunch with Neil today. He's the guy I told you about? The one Greg threatened to feed to the gremlins. He's from the 1950s, so he's very sweet and polite. We're going to be friends, all innocent like, because I think to even consider anything else would probably make him die of embarassment.

Jack's doing better. I took a chance and forced him to talk last night. Sometimes he can be as stubborn as your Space-boy. But it all worked out. So all in all? Life is good.

Talk to you soon!

Isabel



She hit send, then opened up her browser and started browsing some of the Mr. What message boards looking for spoilers on the new season.

"It's a plan," Isabel nodded. "Although I'm still not convinced Cedric and I shouldn't just run off to Mexico and bring Jack as our cabana boy. We've been talking about it for a while." Unfortunately she knew that idea fell into the wishful fantasy category and it made her sigh once more. "Parker, that was actually the least of what they made him wonder. Trust me. Just make sure you hug him the next time you see him."

Lips thinning, Parker said, "Will do. He's our Jack before he's theirs, damnit."

She sighed and cushioned her head on one hand. "Hey, how is Cedric doing? I had a chance to talk to him in L.A., so I know kind of what happened, and I now he's not great, but... is he getting better? I don't know him well enough to tell."

"Do you ever think we'll have a time when we're not worried about someone?" Isabel mused. "Or a time when our biggest worry will be that Johnny is dating Linda Sue but someone caught him making out with Betsy under the bleachers?"

"Cedric is...doing okay. At least according to Jack. I think he's hiding again, cause I haven't seen him since we got back," she admitted. After a moment her face settled into something very similar to Willow's Resolve Face(TM). "I think I need to go looking for him."

Parker considered that for a second. "Since I've been Linda Sue and Betsy in this scenario? No. Unfortunately. There was always something bigger." She grinned. "You go looking for Cedric. If you hve half the luck you had with Jack, it'll be a good thing. I? Have a birthday present to buy." Parker hummed, got to her feet, and gave Annie one last pat. "I'll see you tomorrow or Friday, Isabel. Thanks for the chocolate. And the talk."

Isabel watched her get ready to leave and grinned. "Have fun shopping. And negotiating. I'll see you, definitely."
