Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

A week that had included library duty, a night out at Caritas, movies with a friend, exams, and plotting a rescue mission meant that Isabel was pretty damn tired when she went to bed on Friday night. Unfortunately the conversation with Rikku brought memories and Isabel didn't actually get into a deep sleep until some time just before dawn. She slept till noon when the sound of yelling and chaos in the hallways woke her.

A quick look out her door found Isabel shutting it quickly. Beyond grateful to whatever quirk of Fandom left her still eighteen, she decided an afternoon with a good book was much better then weetiny chaos.

After a quiet afternoon, Isabel finally got out her camera and opened her door.

Alanna peered into Isabel's room, Faithful clutched in her arms. "Hi?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel smiled. Red hair and a cat. "Hi Alanna. How are you today?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"There are too many stairs." Alanna informed Isabel and came into the room. "What are you doing?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"There are a lot of them," she agreed. "But they're good exercise. I'm just reading my book."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"What's it about?" Alanna asked, trying to peer at the cover.

Cedric poked his head around the open door. "Hello?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hello," she replied, tipping her head and smiling. "Who are you?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Cedric!" He hadn't moved. "I'm five!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well hello Cedric who's five," Isabel grinned, resisting the urge to immediately reach for her camera. "Do you want to come in and visit for a while? I promise I'm friendly."

A very frazzled-looking Anders poked his head into the doorway. "Big sis?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Having a rough day?" Isabel grinned.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

He gave her a weak smile that took way too much effort. "Phoebe's four. Bel's five or six. Rough is the least of it."

"You mean they're wearing you out more as little kids?" she asked, snickering just a bit.

Peter peered into the doorway. "Okay, you're still as tall as I remember."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I am yes," she laughed. "And I'm glad to see Anders and I aren't the only ones. Have you been attacked by weetiny sugar hyped people yet?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I've managed to duck it so far," Peter said. "I've seen them, but they haven't taken me to their weetiny sugar hyped overlords yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed."

"You're welcome to hide here for a while. Ching Tai should be delivering shortly and there'll be more then enough," Isabel offered.

Prior to Peter...

Parker snuck up the stairs, down the hall, then ducked inside. "Whew." She gave Isabel a hunted look. "They're baaa---ack."

Re: Prior to Peter...

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"They are. I've been hiding," Isabel admitted.

"Why didn't I get to be four again? That was fun!" Parker folded her arms and grumbled. "I'm not taking care of them. There's no blackmail potential, not compared to the teachers. And they're not mine." She made a face. "You know, this is something I *won't* miss about this place. Random childcare being foisted on me."

Re: Prior to Peter...

"I'm glad I'm not. I was too afraid and shy as a little kid," she replied, handing over the chocolate. "I'm not too worried about taking care of them. I figure the island will mostly. Although I am planning on stealing Cedric's broom later on. I don't want to take that big a chance."

Jack had trotted all the way up the stairs from Parker's room to Isabel's, cause it was getting late and he was hungry and sleepy, and mostly dry though still shirtless.

He bounced through her door, calling, "Izzy! Izzy! Izzy!" and stopped dead when he saw Peter. "Who are you?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Peter Petrelli," Peter told him, with a friendly smile. "Who are you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm willing to bet that's Jack," Isabel grinned. "I'm not sure what gives it away first. Calling me Izzy or the shirtlessness."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack grinned at Izzy then stared a Peter. "Course I'm Jack," he said and ran across to lean on Isabel's legs. "And Izzy's my friend."
