Fourth floor common room, Tuesday afternoon

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

In an effort to keep himself from dwelling on things he didn't want to dwell on, Dean had abandoned his room and was sitting on the couch in the common room, listlessly flipping through the channels on tv. He paused on one of those court shows and shook his head after watching for a few minutes. "Okay, now those people are freaks."

"I definitely like that way of coping." she said. "And there isn't a shortage of pretty here."

"You're just noticing that now?" Isabel grinned. "Just wait till this weekend when they're all dressed up. It's even prettier."

"Oh...I can't wait." she said, smiling. "I'm actually excited to see all the dresses the girls wear too."

"We'll be very stylish if past dances are anything to go by."

"I can't wait for the weekend. Between the carnival, the alum coming back," she said. "I've missed people."

"I can't wait either. A giant party is just what we need before Parents Weekend." Meg said.

"No, a giant party is what you'll need after Parents Weekend," Isabel replied, shaking her head. "Some people have a hard time coping with Fandom, so it makes the weekend pretty stressful."

"I understand that. I didn't even tell my parents about it." If her dad found out the guys and girls were *gasp* living together Meg would have to go home immediately. "I think Dick's little brother is coming to visit so I'll get to see someone from home."

"My parents only found out the truth about Fandom when they found out the truth about me," she said. "They were so focused on the alien thing that the Fandom stuff didn't faze them. At least until the first time Bel shimmered me into the living room."

"My parents are kind of strict. Okay, really strict." Meg said. "They find out that there's boys sleeping on the same floor as me and I'm in trouble."

"Are they coming for the weekend?" Isabel asked.

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"No. No, no, no." Meg said. "They're not much for traveling. Thank god."

"Oh good. Because otherwise I would have been offering to help you concoct elaborate cover stories for the weekend," she grinned.

"Trust me, if they were trying to come I'd give them directions to Wisconson or something." Meg said. "They'd never find the school."

Isabel laughed, "Really mom, it's on an island in Lake Michigan!"

"It could work!" she said, grinning.
