Room 406, Sunday Evening

After the craziness of the last few days, Isabel was grateful for the chance to actually sit and relax for the night. Going for Jack's tattoo and crashing in his room seemed like a long time ago.

But, between dancing with Luke and Anakin, laughing with Cedric, and hanging out with Jack, teasing Xander and watching fireworks with Peter, she'd had fun at the Seahorse party even if the thought of radio still made her twitch. Then again, if she hadn't heard radio, she would have been a little more shocked when Capt. Jack joined her for breakfast Saturday morning.

Then on Saturday, there was graduation. And the school blew up.

Sitting on her bed, Isabel was sorting through copies of the pictures she'd gotten developed.

The door was open.

"Occupy and distract to keep you from doing too much damage," she said, reaching for some chocolate. "A little of this, a little of that. He doesn't open up. At all."

"You noticed that, hmmm?" Parker looked thoughtful, and dangled her fingers over the bed for Annie to bat at. "I hope he has friends, in spite of that. The way Jack has us." She was quiet a moment. "He talked about his 'people' once or twice before, but I think they're mostly co-workers. Just an impression."

"One I agree with," Isabel said quietly. "Which depresses the hell out of me thinking that that's how Jack is going to wind up. It shouldn't have to be like that."

"Maybe it won't be." Parker picked up Annie, stroking a finger back along her nose to her head. "He isn't our Jack, after all. The future can be a little different, I think. Enough to leave him space for friends."

"There's Rose. At some point. That's something." She sighed and pushed the pictures aside, slouching down onto the bed. "I told myself I was not going to get emo this week. I'm not sure I'll be able to pull it off."

Parker gave her a narrow-eyed look, thinking of a surprise that was in the works, and said, "You'll feel better as soon as the workshops start, and the newbies are here being shell-shocked and funny to watch. But some angst is unavoidable." She paused. "Stop me before I start singing 'Friends Forever', please God."

"Yeah, can you imagine? Welcome to your new school. Don't mind the smoking ruins." Isabel propped her head up on her hand and smiled at Parker. "I promise, I will. And hopefully I'll be able to avoid the angst a bit. After all, it's hard to be angsty when I'm the one that's going to kill him."

"You are? When is this happening, and should I sell tickets?" Parker cuddled Annie closer, laughing.

Date: 2007-05-07 02:15 am (UTC)

"No tickets," she said quickly, horrified. "It's bad enough it made radio."

"What did he do?" Parker said, wondering, then frowned. "Wait. Something about talking to... someone? Warning them?"

"Yes," Isabel grumbled. "Apparently he said something to Peter and it had Hades waving glitter flags. So I'm going to have to kill him."

Parker threw back her head and laughed. "Awesome! Should I even ask if it was even *slightly* justified?"

That's something Isabel has refused to think about. "I think it goes back to wee Jack coming in and getting all possesive when Peter and I were having dinner. And maybe because we watched the fireworks together Friday night." Funny how that didn't really answer the question.

"Ohhhh? Fireworks?" Parker asked speculatively. "Reeeeeally."

From: [identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com
Isabel threw a chocolate at her. "Yes. Really. We sat on the beach with a zillion other people and watched the fireworks." She didn't mention the coat sharing. Parker would never let her hear the end of it.

"Hmmmmm." Parker looked hopeful, though. "Still. Jack should be thwapped down. Yes. It's good for him." She grinned. "Especially when he's being all protective and concerned."

"It wouldn't be so bad, but glitter flags? GAH! I think I'll just hide here so I don't run into Peter for a few days." She rolled her eyes, "Maybe moving into the cabins won't be such a bad thing after all. At least he won't be living down the hall."

"Unless he's sleeping in the next cubicle," Parker said mischeviously.

"Actually that's going to be Cedric. We partnered up the cabins," Isabel smiled affectionately. "This way I can look out for him."

"Cool," Parker said, feeling relieved that Isabel and Cedric would be sticking together. "So, you're thinking of Cornell? Maybe?"

"Not really," she shrugged, not surprised that the comment to Mr. Parker hadn't escaped Parker's notice. "It's not like I'm going to get a chance. But sometimes, when I think about what I'd do if I had a chance. They've got a program I think I'd be interested in."

Parker was about to argue the 'not get a chance' with 'you so could', until she remembered what Isabel might be facing in August. She took a breath, and then asked, "So. What program is it, that you'd be interested in?"

"Don't laugh," Isabel warned, shaking her finger at Parker. "They've got a School of Hotel Management. When I think about what I like to do, what I'm good at, you know. Planning stuff like Prom or that Fourth of July party, I think that that might be a good place to go. I could get the background and then who knows."

Parker snickered just a little, then cocked her head. "No, it makes sense. It *is* what you're good at. You should get to run a hotel. Or a bed and breakfast. You'd have fun with that."

"I think I've watched too much Home and Garden TV or Lifetime or whatever. I was thinking wedding planner," she admitted sheepishly. "But it's a moot point. So I really shouldn't waste time thinking about it."
