School grounds, Monday after workshops

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny was pissed. And he was freaking hungry. His tongue was still firmly attached to the roof of his mouth and every now and then he would have to wipe the drool that pooled in the corners.

He was sitting on the lawn, bemoaning his sad state with little mumblings that made no sense whatsoever. He should have set the old hag on fire. Dammit all.

(it be open!)

Comments

He nodded. "Uuuhnggg," then he pointed at his tongue stuck up against the roof of his mouth. "Unnnngg."

"Bitch. Want me to TK her through a wall for you?" she asked. Whether she was serious or not was questionable.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny made a whining noise and lit his hand on fire, indicating it and waving it around. He should have set the old hag on fire! But he shook his head at her question; he didn't want her hurt.

"I'll TK her and then you'll set her on fire? Sounds like a plan," Isabel told him.

"I bet we could even gather up a mob with pitchforks easily enough. And we won't need the torches since we've one already." She winked at him and took a seat on the ground, not ready to storm the castle just yet.

That would work great actually. Johnny could go for that right now.

He sat down by her, extinguishing his hand, grinning at the torch comment. But his stomach growled, reminding him that he hasn't eaten yet today. Damn tongue.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Hungry? And whatever she did won't let you eat?" she asked. "That sucks. How about a smoothie or something?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He'd probably choke to death trying to get it down his throat. Johnny shook his head, smiling at her. "Nnngg ayyy."

"Tiny sips maybe?" Isabel persisted, not wanting to see him suffer.

"If it makes you feel any better, Peter said the leeks she gave him were gone the next day."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Uhhhthh aaay." Johnny nodded. Tiny sips might work.

At her last comment he held his face in his hands. The next day? He would starve to death! Boys and their growing bodies you know.

Isabel patted his shoulder sympathetically. "Don't worry. We won't let you waste away." There would be serious TKing if this didn't wear off within 24 hours.

"I'd ask you what I missed while I was gone, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't understand you. Well, unless we got into some pretty detailed sign language. Or tracked down a pen and paper."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He grinned and started signing this that and the other just to mess with her, knowing she wouldn't understand him because he didn't understand himself.

"Really?" she said, covering her mouth with her hand in shock. "You don't say. I didn't realize things had gotten so serious, so fast. An engagement?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny's hands fell in his lap immediately. No engagement. No no no no. He made puppy dog eyes at Isabel.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Okay, no engagement. But a kiss-in?" Isabel shook her head sadly, "And I wasn't here." The downloaded podcasts had been the one bright spot during her days in Roswell.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny pointed at himself and made kissy lips then tried to say Anders, "Nnnthhhh."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You kissed someone? Do I have to play 20 questions to figure out who?" she asked. And if that was an offer of kissing? Well, she was going to ignore it for the moment.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He nodded and made an A with his fingers.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"A? No! You didn't! Not Annette again!" Isabel exclaimed. Of course then she remembered her own kiss with Annette and snickered a bit.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He shook his head, looking around to make sure no one heard her. Oh god, that's all he needed, Dick to hear and try to shove him off the roof again.

He tried to make an N...wait no...damn. He made a D. Or tried.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel was trying to run through every student with a name that begin with A. "AJ? Aravis? Animal? Anders?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He pointed at her at the last name. Yes!

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Anders! You were kissing my little brother? And Bel let you live?" She shook her head. "You do like to live dangerously don't you?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He laughed but it only sounded like a snort and he sort of blew spittle out of his mouth.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel pulled a tissue out of her bag and handed it to him. "I'm not asking for anymore details. That's just way too TMI for me. But I assume that's why you got called in today?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He shrugged his shoulders. Umbridge never told him why he was called to the office today. He must have totally pissed her off before she could tell him. Ooops.
