Once again they were meeting in the Danger Room!

Wilson was leaning against the table with all the morning treats, sipping his coffee and looking vaguely amused. As soon as everyone was gathered and had their coffee, tea, whatever he cleared his throat and called them over to listen to their latest Danger Room assignment.

"Good morning," he began, setting his coffee off to the side and putting his hands in his pockets.

"So far this semester, we've focused on keeping your wits about you when it was just yourself. Today we're going to tackle something infinitely more tricky."

Looking a bit rueful, he grinned at them.

"Today, you're going to be attempting to navigate ways to protect others who seem hell bent on self destruction. Believe me when I say, it will be hard to keep your wits calm, while at the same time trying to be one step ahead of the reckless behavior of others."

Something Wilson -coughthankyouHousecough- had plenty of experience with.

"As I call your name, you'll go into the scenario. I'd give you all hints about what's on the other side of that door but most of the time, these situations are feel it out as you go. Everybody ready? Okay. Good luck!"

"Do you really think he's going to leave you alone?" she asked dryly. "I'm heading back to Roswell at least for a few days. And if my brothers know what's good for them, they'll take a break from their road trip and be there."

Lana blushed. "Good point. Well, I hope your brothers make the smart choice and get themselves home. I'm sure they will though."

"They should know better? You'd think," Isabel sighed. "I'll wait and see who's at the table for cookies Christmas Eve afternoon."

"Is that a family tradition?" Lana asked curiously. "Cookies the afternoon of Christmas Eve? It sound nice."

"It is. It's a chance for everyone to unwind from all the last minute stuff," she explained, smiling at the memory. "And have a snack before we went to the early service. It was after we got back from that that the real festivities began."

Lana smiled. "That sounds so nice. Someday if I'm ever lucky enough to have a family of my own, I'll have to remember that one."

"It's a good one," Isabel nodded. "The simple ones always are."

"Yeah. I dream about it sometimes. Just a little house filled with love and arguing and people who care about each other. With all the sorts of little rituals and traditions that families have." She smiled a little wistfully. "Maybe someday."

"The house wasn't little, and I'm not sure that a food fight is something you'd want to make a tradition of," Isabel said. "But I'd say Thanksgiving was a good start."

"Chris and I actually kind of orbed out before that got started," Lana said with a smile. "And I think maybe I'd be better with something a little smaller. Thanksgiving was pretty overwhelming. But fun."

"Wyatt and I made a quick exit as well," she nodded. "It seemed the best way to stay clean. And sane. But the weekend overall was fun."

Lana's eyes got very faraway and she smiled dreamily. "Yeah. It was a really good weekend."

Isabel just smiled. Judging by the look on Lana's face, she was pretty sure she knew why it was a really good weekend.

Lana came out of her reverie and smiled over at Isabel. "The four of us should go out sometime. I eve promise to be really nice to Wyatt."

"That would be nice. And fun," Isabel smiled. "We'll have to see when they have a free night."

[RL calls. Back in an hour or so.]

"I can check with Chris. I know Saturday nights he works, but other than that we don't have any set nights we're not free."

"Wyatt's got clinic on Tuesdays," Isabel told her. "And I work Thursday till four at Pixie Dust. But other then that, our schedule's pretty free." Ronan would understand if she had to pass on their standing Wednesday visit.

"I work Thursdays, too, till 5 at Book Haven," Lana said. "So, we'll just see what the guys want to do and go from there?"

"Works for me," Isabel agreed.

Lana looked at the door. "Well, I suppose I should go take my chances. Wish me luck!"

"Good luck!"
