The phone! The phone was ringing!!

Yes, Isabel had gotten Anakin's email.

For some reason, Anakin found himself humming the Wonderpets' theme song...

"Skywalker," he replied, picking up the comlink.

He has a preschooler. It's an immediate response when the phone rings.

"Hi, It's Isabel," she said. "Please tell me you were playing with Photoshop and sent me this as some sort of delayed April Fool's joke."

He chuckled. "You don't remember the weekend, then."

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel sighed. "I was hoping it was just a really, really elaborate dream."

"So are a lot of people," Anakin said sympathetically. "I think half of the school was hiding under their beds yesterday."

"The thought crossed my mind. Except I had three classes to get to. And unfortunately my professors wouldn't buy residual weekend angst as a reason to miss class, " Because even though she'd woken up with the right person it was still kind of awkward when you had roughly seventeen years of future memories clouding your head and while most of them were good, there was a five year stretch of stupidity that Isabel was having a hard time facing up to.

"Nor will the ones here," Anakin said with a quick laugh.

"Not even a movie day? That's mean," she laughed. "I would have killed for a movie. Instead I spent two hours discussing the financial management function in the hospitality organization." The topic was just as dry as it sounded.

"Your classes were more interesting. At least we occasionally got to hit things."

"Well, I'm sure you'd make your financial management whatever more interesting if you hit something," Anakin replied.

"There's been the occasional team project where the thought has crossed my mind," Isabel admitted. "But I've managed to restrain myself."

"Anyway, thank you for the picture. It was amusing to say the least."

"I'm always happy to offer reminders of how weird our lives are," Anakin told her.

[izzyalienqueen]

"But when it comes down to it, we wouldn't want it any other way. I'll talk to you soon Anakin. Tell Rory I said hi."

"I will," Anakin said. "Tell Wyatt the same from us."
