Fourth Floor Common Room, Dinnertime

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel was in the mood to cook. After a trip to town to get supplies, she made a huge pot of taco meat, and then spent some time slicing and dicing an assortment of totally moddable toppings. There was even chocolate cake for dessert.

There was a CD glowing on the counter as it played some Jimmy Buffet and Isabel was quietly singing along. "Fins to the left, fins to the right and you're the only game in town..."

"No, dinner first!" she insisted. "I bet your mom never let you have dessert first."

"Hey, I could charm that out of her sometimes," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You could see if charm works on me?" Isabel smiled.

Peter gave her the puppy eyes.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, puppy eyes don't count," she said dryly.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Huh," Peter said. "Normally that works for me."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm immune to them since I use them myself," Isabel explained. She flashed puppy eyes back at him.

Peter chuckled. "Not bad. If I had cake I'd give you some."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm talented." She put a piece of cake on a plate and pushed it over to him. "Here. Indulge."

"You always were my favorite," Peter said. He took the cake from her and helped himself to the frosting.

Isabel raised an eyebrow, "Oh really? I didn't know I had competition."

"Not any more you don't," Peter replied.

Funny how fixing that taco took all of Isabel's attention.

Funny how Peter seemed to be smiling for reasons other than food.

"So are you going to be around this week?" she asked finally. "I'm hoping there'll be fireworks for the Fourth."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I was planning on it," Peter said. "Fireworks on the beach maybe?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It might be a bit difficult to see them if they were in the middle of the woods."

Peter looked for a napkin to ball up and throw at her.

Isabel grinned and winked at him.

Peter found himself blushing. He tried to focus on the food instead.

"So when are we going for Thai food?" she asked. "Can you fit me in your schedule? Maybe?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Maybe later this week?" Peter suggested.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Friday?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"It's a date," Peter said, before he could stop himself.

"I'm looking forward to it," she told him, smiling brightly.
