Room 239/240:

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Sam returns from his day out on the town going to All and Sundries, Empire Records and Cafe Fina.

He then sets up the room so that that the lights are low, candles are burning and a desk has been turned into a romantic dining experience with Lobster thermador with tarragon potato purée, asparagus, and nicoise olive vinaigrette.

He turns on the stereo and puts on some Indigo Girls.

He then leaves the room and leaves a note on the desk.

Janet & Sam

Please don't be angry with me for tricking you two into being together in the same room. It's hard to see a couple go through so many problems. Please take this opportunity for the two of you to "reconnect".

Love,
Marty

Sam started giggling again, as she pulled the cork from the wine bottle. "Marty's trying to set Janet and I up. With each other. Which kind of reinforces the idea that he's lost it completely."

She walked back over to the table and began pouring it into three glasses.

Parker chortled, and looked at Janet. "Doesn't he know about Idiot Boy? And God, hasn't Jack told him about Sam yet? That's just ridiculous. He *has* lost it. Oo, lobster." She leaned forward and inhaled. "Got an extra fork?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Well, given that Idiot Boy and I are against the rules, I don't know if I want Marty knowing about him," said Janet. "Though he saw Jack and Sam kissing, so I really don't know what's going on. He told me he had a blackout from a head injury, but he promised he'd go to the clinic and get checked out." She pulled an extra fork out from somewhere and handed it to Parker.

"I know he knows Jack and I are dating," Sam said, shaking her head. "I hope he's okay. He was a huge help this afternoon."

She spooned some of the food onto a plate, then took a bite of lobster and closed her eyes in bliss. "Okay, I may marry Marty for this. I don't care what's wrong with him."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Help how?" Parker chortled, then mmm'd as she took a bite of the lobster. "Oh, god, this is good. Did I tell you guys how I was going to make him suffer today?"

[janet_fraiser]

"You didn't," said Janet. She took a bite of the lobster, closed her eyes, and sighed happily. "At least he knows the good stuff. How did you make him suffer? And what did he help you with, Sam?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam shrugged and nibbled on a stalk of asparagus. Yeah, she definitely owed Marty. This was the best meal she'd had since she'd been cloned. "Just some class stuff I was stuck on. But it was a big help."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker considered what Sam could possibly have been stuck on that Marty could have helped with, and put that on the list of Weird. "Mariachi band. The worst one I could find. With a personal, hand-picked playlist." She speared a potato and closed her eyes in bliss. "Ahh. Credit where it's due: he knows the good stuff. Even if he is currently delusional."

[janet_fraiser]

"Incredibly delusional," said Janet. She took another bite of lobster and then sipped from her glass of wine. "You sent a mariachi band after him? Devious, but I like it." She sighed and closed her eyes. "Is this what relaxation feels like? I'd forgotten."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Mariachi band? Wow, remind me not to get you mad at me, Parker." Sam sighed and stretched her legs out in front of her, toeing off the sandals. "We need to do this more often."

[janet_fraiser]

"Con people into thinking we need to be dating so they buy us gourmet food?" asked Janet. "Then invite our friends over to eat it with us. Sounds like a plan."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker grins, and silently toasts it as she pops another bite of lobster in her mouth.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hey, anything that gets us free gourmet food is good in my book," Sam said, sighing over another bite of lobster, "I'd even date you for real."

She blushed. "Er, not that dating you would be a bad thing, Janet. Just, y'know, not my thing. Currently. And I didn't mean to say that I needed a bribe to do it, because I wouldn't. Er."

Sam decided now would be a prudent time to put something in her mouth, so she ate some potatoes.

[janet_fraiser]

Janet started laughing. "Would you like to dig yourself in any deeper, Sam?" she asked. She hadn't been planning on saying anything about it. "I mean, obviously it would be too awkward. We're totally different heights." Then again, the urge to tease Sam was a little irresistible right about now.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam blushed and chuckled covering her face with her hands. "No, I think this hole's plenty deep already, thanks."
