Room 406, after lunch

[izzyalienqueen]

After enjoying way too much ice cream last night, and then stopping by to make sure the wee time agent and wizard were tucked in, Isabel returned to her room and actually had a relatively peaceful night's sleep. Up early, she stretched and went for an extended run about the island, enjoying the good weather.

After a shower and lunch, she called her mom to fill her in on the details of the weekend.

The door was open and there was a broom sitting on the extra bed.

"It'd be worth it," he teased.

In an extremely mature response, Isabel stuck her tongue out at him.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"My Izzy," he said and sighed.

"No, no, not like that. If you're going to do it right, you have to do it like this." Isabel walked over and hugged him around the waist. "My Cedric!" she said fiercely. "Of course it would work better if I were about two feet shorter and there was actually someone here to glare at."

"Perhaps I could just pick you up and carry you throughout the dormitories, saying 'My Izzy!'"

Isabel stepped back and put her hands up. "Don't make me hurt you."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"You wouldn't hurt me," he said. "I'm adorable, after all."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Damnit, you know me to well," she pouted.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Indeed, I do." He smiled again. "My Izzy." And he added fluttering eyelashes.

Throwing back her hair, Isabel pressed her hands to her heart. "My Cedric," she answered breathlessly.

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

He dissolved into laughter at that. "Very dramatic."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Laughing herself, Isabel gave him a real hug. "I've watched way too many cheesy romance movies."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"You'll have to make me watch a few sometime," he said, returning her hug. "I should get going, try to find anyone else who took pictures of me. Make Jack work for his copies of mine. I mean, pouting and breakfast in bed and everything."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"We can do that," she smiled. "Any time you'd like. And if you do find other people with pictures? Tell them I want copies to!" Isabel got the broom and handed it over. "He'll work hard. Trust me."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Thank you for looking out for me this weekend," he said, taking the broom.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Any time," Isabel promised. "You'd do the same wouldn't you?"

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Most definitely," he said. "And I'd have taken a very large amount of pictures too."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"My mom would pay you for them," she laughed. "She thought you were very cute."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"...your mother saw little me?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I emailed her copies of the pictures," Isabel explained. "Now that she knows the truth, she likes hearing the stories. And honestly, I like being able to tell her."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

He blushed and said, "Oh. That's fine." He laughed, unable to help himself. "Right. Well, tell her hello from me and that I'm no longer small."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'll do that," she promised. "She'll be glad to hear it."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Good," he said and hugged her once more. "You have a good afternoon, Isabel. Remember, make him work."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You to," Isabel smiled. "And I will."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

He smiled, waved and headed out.
