Meerkat Campfire, evening

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

The cabin is back, or visible at least since it never really went anywhere. She survived cheerleading practice without injury and the rain seems to have stopped. All in all, not a bad day. Now it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the last campfire and the last s'more for a while.

"I'm going to miss them when we go back to the dorms," Peter said with a grin. "So yes please. How are you, Isabel? How was your Saturday?"

Isabel passed the bag over. "There's these little broilers they sell so that you can roast them while sitting at your kitchen table. But it's not the same. And despite waking up in a strange bed, my Saturday went well." She might have glanced over at Greg then, "And now a campfire with friends. It's even better."

"Not the same at all, no," Peter noticed the glance, drew an incorrect conclusion, and refrained from commenting the sleeping situation. "Everything's better with a campfire. Did I see you at the cheerleading practice?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Exactly. Even if you do wind up smelling like woodsmoke. It's part of the charm." Isabel nodded, "I made the team. Today was our first practice. It was interesting."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Woodsmoke smells like home," Peter replied with a small smile. "Congratulations! Hopefully it was interesting in a good way?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I always like the smell of it. It's comforting somehow." Isabel shrugged. "I suppose. The trick will be doing what we're learning at the game without anyone getting injured."

"Maybe we should have a game then the cheerleaders can show off? Or vice versa? Then everyone can watch everyone else and there won't be basketball players," he may have glanced at Greg, "running into people while they're watching the cheerleaders," Peter said, jokingly.

"That might be an option," she smiled, noticing the glance and blushing slightly. "I'm not sure how it's going to work. Are you going to play?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Apparently," Peter said. "I'm pretty rubbish at the game, but they needed more players so." He shrugged. "When do the cheerleaders normally cheer? At an American school?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I question my skill at cheering," Isabel admitted. "But it'll still be fun. It should be the same with playing ball. The important part is to enjoy yourself." She shrugged, "It depends. At a football game it's easy enough for the cheerleaders to do whatever, whenever because there's plenty of space. Basketball is probably going to be different. Back a my high school the cheerleaders would do the more formal elaborate stuff between periods. And just cheer on the sidelines the rest of the time."

"I'm sure you all will be wonderful. And the game will at least be amusing to the spectators if nothing else," Peter replied. "That way sounds pretty sensible. Though I wonder how many periods we'll be able to play before the balls all turn into penguins or gnomes attack or something."

"I worry more about your coach getting his ass handed to him," Isabel said then smirked. "I plan on starting a pool about that."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Coach?" Peter asked. "I didn't even realise we had one. Why?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel rolled her eyes. "The guy from Caritas is going to be coaching the team apparently. He's a bit of a lech. I fully expect Buffy or Molly to put him through the wall at some point during the game."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"And he's the Coach? How did we end up with him?" Peter asked indignantly.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I think there's a rule about having an faculty sponser of any school team or club. He probably counts because he's teaching a workshop." Isabel shrugged, "I wouldn't worry about it to much. He's probably not going to interfere with the team and like I said, if he gets annoying to the cheerleaders, anyone one of us could very easily teach him the error of his ways."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter wrinkled his nose. "It might serve him right at that. I doubt he has any idea about what he's walking into."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Probably not. Which means the resulting chaos is going to be hilarious." She smiled, "It's really just a matter of looking for the bright side. And if I get the pool going, I might even make money."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"You really ought to," Peter agreed. "It can't be a bad thing." He looked around the campsite. "I think I'm going to miss the cabins."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I will to," Isabel admitted. "Even with the ducks, and the vanishing cabin, it's still been fun."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"That's odd how your cabin vanished so soon after the gnomes left. Maybe they took it with them?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Could be," Isabel agreed. "I'm just glad they brought it back before anyone got damaged by Buffy and her quest to get her shoes back."
