Still cruising news websites. It's fun watching the Republican leadership scramble.

Isabel's in Bio, perhaps someone else can help you? Otherwise the library is closed.

She's back and now she's web surfing looking for Halloween costumes.

Several sites are bookmarked so she can show them to Cedric.

Jack eventually left Cedric and went to see Isabel. He made a couple of stops along the way.

"Hey, Izzy," he said as he placed the small J,GoB box - containing one mini Mocha cheesecake - and the mocha with whipped cream on the counter. "I brought you some pre-lunch refreshments. Oh, and a fork," he added as he placed it on top of the box.

"You are going to make me fat," Isabel laughed.

Jack just smiled and pushed the box a bit closer. "I won't. You're way too energetic - you'll wear these off before you leave today."

Unable to resist, she pulled the box over and started to open it. "If I can't fit into my Homecoming dress, I'm totally blaming you. How's Parker?" she asked, remembering the radio.

Jack grinned as she opened the box, then grimaced at the question. "Not great. That's sort of why I'm here."

"What happened? And what can I do?" Isabel took a taste of the cheesecake and smiled before pushing it towards Jack. "Share."

"You'll have to ask Parker, and if you could keep an eye on her? I'm going away for a few days, and she needs someone to watch out for her." Jack grinned and opened his mouth. "There's only one fork."

Given the various conversations she's had with Parker and Jarod over the last few weeks, Isabel is pretty sure she at least had a pretty good idea of what had happened. Still she nodded. "I was planning on going to see her tonight. I knew something was wrong at Caritas the other night but I didn't want to push it there. And then she asked me to give her time. Well, it's been long enough." Rolling her eyes, Isabel held out the fork. "I'm not feeding you."

Jack made a very sad face at her, but accepted the fork and dug out a bite of cheesecake. "Go see her, and do not let her smoke." He licked the cheesecake off the fork and grinned. "Don't you want to know where I'm going?"

"I will," she nodded, tapping him on the nose. "Is it going to make me worry?"

Jack wrinkled his nose at her and handed back the fork. "Probably," he admitted with a sigh. "I got a call from," he had to pause, because saying this bit was never going to stop feeling odd, "me, from Captain Jack. He's going off-planet and he asked if I want to go with him."

"Dear god, two of you? Together? Is the universe ready for it?" Isabel laughed before growing serious. "Are you sure it's safe?"

"The universe isn't going to know what hit it." Jack waggled his eyebrows at her and smirked. "I think it is. He's got no reason to hurt me, and all he's done so far is try and keep me safe." He was almost bouncing with excitiement. "And I'll only be gone a few days."

"It's not that I don't trust him. It's the rest of the big scary things out there that I worry about. But knowing you, you'd charm your way out," she grinned. "A few days? Will you miss Homecoming?"

"Absolutely not," Jack replied, shaking his head. "No way I'm missing taking Sam and Cedric, and I've been promised many dances from beautiful people," he grinned and touched the back of her hand, "and I intend to collect on them."

"That's good," Isabel grinned. "I know my dance card is pretty full. Luke has promised me a dance and I'm sure I'll drag Cedric out for one. And maybe even Bel. Hopefully we'll see each other at some point."

Resting his elbows on the counter, Jack leaned forward and looked up at Isabel, eyes sad. "You aren't going to save me a dance?"

"I suppose I can try to fit you in," she sighed with resignation.

"I wouldn't want to impose..." he said mournfully, but his eyes were twinkling.

"I suppose I can suffer through a dance with you," Isabel smirked. "I wouldn't want you to be broken hearted. I bet you'd have a hard time explaining that to Sam and Cedric."

"That you broke my heart?" he asked, abandoning pretence and just grinning at her. "It's very fragile, you know."

"Sure, fragile. You keep believing that," she chuckled. "I will save you a dance so you'd better be back in time. And in one piece."

He held his hands up. "I already promised Cedric: one piece, and not bruised or in pain. And I won't be late. Especially not if you're going to dance with me."

"Good. I'm holding you to it." Isabel walked out from behind the counter and opened her arms. "Do I get a hug before you leave?"

"Just try and stop me." Jack wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "I'm going to miss you," he said into her hair.

"Back at you," she said, squeezing him before pulling back to kiss his cheek. "Stay out of trouble and hurry back!"

"I will, I promise." Jack touched her cheek and smiled. "Stay safe, okay?"

"I'm supposed to be telling you that. Take care Jack. I'll miss you."

"Of course you will," he laughed. "And I promise." He stepped closer and kissed her forehead then straightened. "Now I have to go and see the Doctor, and try and explain why I'm going to be missing his class on Friday."

"Given some of what he's said, I'm sure he'll understand your quest for adventure." Reaching out she gave him one last squeeze and whispered a quick "love you" into his ear before letting go and heading back around the counter.

Jack's smile was blinding. "I'll never get tired of hearing that," he told her and then headed out the door with a distinct bounce in his step.

Isabel smiled as she watched him leave. And despite his words, she could help but worry just a little bit.

The library is closed while the aides eat their lunch in peace.

Isabel is shelving books while wearing her iPod. There might occasionally be some singing and or dancing.

Oh look! A new trashy romance novel.

Alanna didn't run into the library, really. "Help!"

"What's the matter?" Isabel asked, looking up from her book.

"Homecoming. Dress. Help." She paused for breath. "How do I always wound up doing these things?"

"Because you did such a good job with prom. We know you'll make this dance awesome as well," Isabel grinned. "Do you want to go to Stuff for Sale and look for a dress?"

"I did a good job?" Alanna honestly sounded shocked. "And this time there's less than a week to plan! And yes please. I hate, hate, hate shopping. Especially for dances."

"You did," she assured her. "Everyone had a blast. I'm here all afternoon and I have to take care of something tonight. But I'm free tomorrow after first period."

"Whenever, whatever." Alanna wasn't flailing, really.

"Tomorrow then. I'll stop at JGoB and get coffees for us."

Isabel started to straighten up in preparation for closing.

I'll be AFK today from around 10:00 EST till around 3:00ish. I'll pick up pings when I get back.
