UNLV, Tonopah Hall, Room 313 - evening

Isabel yawned as she flipped a page in her math textbook and made a mental note to avoid 8:00 a.m. classes in the Spring semester. She was tired but she wanted to get her math assignment done before she went to bed.

Hopefully the sugar from the bag of mini Milky Ways she was working her way through would keep her awake.

[Any interruptions in the form of phone calls, emails, or misdirected portals would be welcome.]

"Yeah," Isabel chuckled. "I found that out in the Spring. I much prefer being a girl."

"Yes, it definitely has it's perks," said Hoshi.

"I wish I'd gotten a chance to catch up with you at Homecoming! That weekend was just... crazy. In more ways than one," she added.

"I'm not thinking about the weekend," she said. "Ever, ever again." At least she won't after some point the following week if all went well.

"There's quite a bit of that going around here too," said Hoshi. "Although Parents Weekend is coming up. That's an even better reason to hide, I think."

"Oh ouch, yeah," Isabel agreed. "That's never fun. Not if your family's not ready to deal with the weirdness."

"Well, my family is smart enough to stay away," said Hoshi. "My problem is that Captain Archer somehow got an invitation and he's coming! I need his recommendation to get into Starfleet. I don't know how I'm going to explain this place."

"It's a unique opportunity that allows you to learn to think on your feet and deal with a variety of unusual circumstances that test your ingenuity and coping skills," she replied immediately, quoting one of the essays she'd written for her college applications.

"I guess so," said Hoshi. "Maybe I'll be lucky and he won't want to do anything silly like go to Caritas."

"Zombies are just another strange alien life form."

"Oh, no, because then he'll really want to talk to them and find out what they think of Earth," groaned Hoshi. "Of course, I'll have to translate for him... I can tell him that I haven't mastered their language?"

"Do you honestly think he'd believe that?" Isabel asked.

"I'm not sure. It might be a good idea to have a couple of excuses like that one handy," said Hoshi. "I guess it could be worse, though. At least he's not bringing his current girlfriend."

"Think of the most bizarre excuses you can come up with, and practice saying them with a straight face," she suggested. "It can't hurt."

"All that rehearsing for the play will probably pay off a little earlier than I thought," said Hoshi.
