Isabel sat on the counch watching March of the Penguins hoping a movie about Antartica would help her not think about how hot it was. It wasn't working.

"Hey, Isabel," Bridge says with a wave as he flops down on one of the couches. "Whatcha watching?"

Parker was very unhappy with the heat. Thus, she was wearing her coolest clothing and sipping a lemonade after she came following an afternoon siesta. "Hey, Isabel. Bridge. What are we watching?"

"March of the Penguins," she said, waving back. "There's ice. It looks cold. It's probably much nicer then here right now."

"Penguin documentary. I'm trying to cool myself down vicariously," Isabel said.

"Good plan," Parker said, toasting her and settling in on the couch. "What this dorm needs is a water slide from the roof into the duck pond. Possibly with ice and penguins."

Parker waved to him as she came in, sighed, and put her feet on his legs. "Hoooot."

"Aren't there some on the sixth floor?" she asked. "I thought Greg had mentioned going on one of Bridge's adventures up there and finding them."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, hey, yeah," Bridge says. "Now I remember... I saw this when I was little."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah-huh," Bridge says. "Just a little!"

"Ooooo. We need to do that. Next weekend, maybe. This weekend being booked." She grinned, then yawned. "If I can't convince anyone to go looking for treasure in the ocean, that is. How goes your day aside from vicarious penguins?"

Parker looked at him mournfully. "Make it stop? Somehow?" She sighed. "Or am I asking too much of you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel grinned, "Well it's still new to me. I never got a chance to see it when it was out in the movies."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like a plan to me," Isabel nodded. "Speaking of this weekend, I was down at Caritas last night teasing Jarod. He was trying to get me to tell him where we're going."

Parker would have laughed a lot, but it was too hot. So she chuckled. "Ohh, dear. Did he try the puppy eyes on you? Or was he just being all logical?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Random questions, some sighing. But I was strong and held out," she said. "I did promise him I'd tell him tomorrow night though."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Just make sure I'm there to see it. I don't want to be cheated out of that." Parker grinned. "Did I thank you, for coming up with this? It's so very cool."

Peter wandered up and waved before taking a seat. "Hey, guys." He was web-free tonight, for the record.

Dean wandered in, intent on claiming something cold to drink from the fridge. He glanced at the tv on his way to the kitchen. "Oh hey, penguins."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't think of doing it without you. I promise. And no thanks are necessary. I'm doing it for me to," Isabel smiled.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hey Peter!" Isabel waved. "We're watching penguins."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Living somewhere cold," Isabel said. "I'm hoping it'll make me think it's cool."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"And it will also be *cool* on the river. Which is not least of the reasons why I'm happy we're going. Gah." Parker sighed and stretched out her legs, then frowned at the movie. "When did I see this thing? And why am I getting chills?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"This is a week for penguins," Peter said. "They're a recurring theme for me."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I know. Even a ten degree change in temperature would be wonderful," Isabel said. She grinned at Parker, "You're watching something set in the Antartic. The cold is rubbing off on you."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Oh really? Was there a penguin invasion that I missed?" she asked.
