Room 406, late afternoon to evening

Mar 03, 2007 20:40

Talking to Peter still being played had made Max's call that much more real. Isabel returned to her room, made several phone calls, and then sat on her bed trying to figure out how to break the news.

Greg knocked on Isabel's door later that evening, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Isabel had managed to stop crying and was now randomly taking things out of her closet trying to decide what a person wears to their alien home planet.

The knock made her flinch and she dropped the shirt she was holding onto the bed. "It's open."

Greg stuck his head in. "Hey, honey. What's new in Isabelland?"

"Hey," Isabel said quietly, wishing there was some way not to do this. "I need to talk to you."

"That's what you're doing," Greg said, raising his brows and stepping in. "Did I do something wrong? I swear it was an accident and/or Lucas' fault."

"Has he been poking around strange portals again?" she asked, trying but pretty much failing to crack a smile. "Come over. Sit down. It's nothing you did, I promise." Isabel tossed the shirt aside and took a seat on the bed, holding out her hand to him.

Greg sat down, feeling anxious. "Then what's up?"

"Max called today," Isabel said, irrationally proud that her voice didn't shake. "There's a way back to Antar."

Greg smiled. "Cool! Are you going to go visit?"

izzyalienqueen March 4 2007, 03:05:48 UTC

"We're going. Tomorrow," she said quietly, not really answering the question.

"Bring me a postcard," Greg said.

Isabel closed her eyes and swallowed hard. "Um...I'm don't know that I'll be coming back."

Greg should've seen that coming. And truth be told, maybe he did, but he'd wanted her to say it first.

"What?"

izzyalienqueen March 4 2007, 03:18:06 UTC

"We're supposed to go save a planet," she said carefully. "Somehow I don't think we can do that and get me back in time for class on Tuesday."

like_a_sponge March 4 2007, 03:21:06 UTC

"But...you won't come back?" Greg repeated. "Not ever?"

izzyalienqueen March 4 2007, 03:29:22 UTC

"I want to," Isabel said, biting her lip. "But it's a war. And I just don't know what's going to happen."
