| By Danielle Disclaimers: I don't own any of the Roswell characters. The WB people got to them first! Questions, Comments, Feedback to Danielle Notes: I rewatched "Sexual Healing" this past weekend, and I was struck by a comment Alex made when Isabel was walking away from his house after letting him kiss her. "I'm available for further experiments... or whatever." Isabel just smiled and kept walking. But it got me thinking... what if she decided to take him up on that offer? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lunchtime at West Roswell high was always social hour. You could see it in the way the cheerleaders, the jocks, and the other popular people flitted from one table to another. And usually Isabel Evans was at the crux of things. But today was different. She looked on as her group of vapid friends gossiped about this person on that couple. Today she was in no mood for the social pressures of High School- she was restless. Standing, she walked to the table where her brother sat with his arm around Liz. They were talking amongst themselves, their recent foray into unknown sexual territory having brought them undeniably closer. They looked up as she seated herself across the table from them. Max smiled. "Hey Is, what's going on?" She frowned. "Nothing. Absolutely nothing." Liz looked at her creased brow. "Isabel? Is something wrong?" Isabel exhaled not sure how to answer. Because frankly, she wasn't sure what the problem was. "Did you ever have one of those days when nothing feels right- like you just want to do something fun and forget about everyday life?" Max looked quizzically at his sister. "I guess so." Max wasn't known for his impulsiveness. Liz however, shook her head vigorously. "I know what you mean. Sometimes life gets so, well, stale, that you just want to do something crazy." Isabel nodded. "Yeah, that's it. So, are you guys doing anything tonight? I could use a little fun." Max looked at Isabel sadly. "Sorry, Is, we made dinner plans. Liz chimed in. "Yeah, it's my first night off from work since my parents decided Max and I could see each other again. We made reservations and everything." She was disappointed. "Oh, well, no big deal." She sighed, but brightened as she saw Michael approaching. Maybe he was free. "Hey guys," Michael greeted the three others at the table. "Michael, do you want to go to the movies or something tonight? Maybe get some Chinese food and play pool?" He opened his mouth to answer, but before he could speak, she heard Maria's voice behind her. "Sorry, Is. Michael and I have plans tonight." She walked past Isabel and planted herself next to Michael, who threw an arm around her. Those two had also become sickeningly close of late. "Hey", Maria said to Michael as she seated herself. |
