Fourth Floor Common Room, Saturday evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel rummaged through the kitchen and came up with something that sort of resembled dinner, then she grabbed the remote and turned the TV to Iron Chef America. Bobby Flay, wild boar, and grilled watermelon? It looked interesting.

"Nah, if I want a new channel I'll just look sad until you flip," Peter said. He took a seat on the couch.

She gasped, horrified. "Oh no! Not the puppy eyes! Anything but that!"

"I'm ruthless if I have to be," Peter said. "I'm good with what you've got though."

"Good. After this is over? There's a movie about a giant snake on Sci-Fi. I'm planning on mocking," Isabel grinned. "Do you feel up to it? We're talking quality TV."

"I think I can handle it," Peter said. "'course around here that's not a bad movie, it's a bonding event."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's true. Nothing creates tighter bonds then almost being eaten by the giant snake," she agreed. "Actually Xander almost could have been eaten by a giant snake once. His old principal turned into one. That's when he first got sent here."

"And then he developed a fetish for pink and became principal here?" Peter teased.

"You know? That's a good possibility," Isabel said thoughtfully. "Did you hear I got called down the other day? And like an idiot, I went."

"What'd she do to you?" Peter asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Whammied my eyes so that they were all irritated and burning. It was annoying, but honestly not all that scary," she shrugged. "Wyatt healed them for me in class Thursday morning."

"Remind me to thank Wyatt," Peter said. Silently he wished he could have healing abilities without having to be next to someone else who did.

"I'm sure he'll appreciate it. It was wearing off, but I was happy to have it done with," Isabel told him. "Although if I'd been thinking straight, I should have just gone to get Cedric to lift the spell. But I think we already established I wasn't thinking since I went to see her in the first place."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Mean as she is, the spell could've had a second wave to it," Peter said. "Just as well you had it removed."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, plus another day in sunglasses and you'd think I was going all Paris Hilton on you or something," she teased, although she was touched by his concern.

Peter made a face. "No thanks. I like you with a personality. And a soul."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

That made Isabel laugh. "Good to know. I'll pass on that offer I've been considering."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I thought the only offers she was getting involved rehab," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No that's Britney. Or Lindsey. And wow, it's really embarrassing to admit that I actually sort of know what's up with them." She hid her face in her hands and shook her head. "I caught the tail end of Entertainment tonight earlier. That's it! It wasn't intentional."

Peter patted her sympathetically. "The first step is admitting the problem."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You're right," Isabel said slowly. "I suppose it's time I told you about my secret addiction to The Star and The Enquirer. I read them religiously every week."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter covered his eyes and shook his head sadly. "I'm just glad you can realize it for the disease that it is."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Now it was Isabel's turn to give sympathetic pats. "Like you said, the first step is the hardest. Now that I've made it, hopefully I'm on the road to recovery."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I'm here for you all the way," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I appreciate it," she said sincerely. "And to show my appreciation, well, I've got some cookies from J,GoB in my room. Want me to go get them before the bad movie starts?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Please!" Peter said. "I could use the sugar rush."
