239/240 - morning

[notcalledlizzie]

It was the first weekend in Fandom for a while.

So, Elizabeth figured that she was allowed to take it easy.

Her homework was done; although that wasn't hard as she'd lost two classes in the past two weeks. She was very glad that she'd picked up Western Lit to keep her timetable from being too sparse.

So, she had a box of chocolates open, she had a good book and she had Madonna playing. Really, what more did she need?

Elizabeth laughed. "Because you're going to be mocking him about it for the rest of his life?"

"As long as you know, dear."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Well, there's that, which is always nice," Sam grinned, "But it's more because Daniel's happy. I've never really seen him like this before--he lost Sha're right after I met him. It's good to see him giddy."

Sam stuck her tongue out at Elizabeth. It seemed like an appropriate response.

Elizabeth sobered slightly. "Yeah, I read about that. At least he's got his second chance, right?"

She just stuck her tongue back out at Sam.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"They both do," Sam nodded. "It's good. I just hope he doesn't mess things up by thinking too far ahead. Daniel's very much a big picture guy...but Janet's very detail oriented."

"Hopefully they'll complement each other instead of crashing and burning," Elizabeth said. "You'll just have to help reign him in?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"God, I hope so. I can't imagine what would happen if they crashed and burned..." Sam took a sip of coffee, unwilling to ponder that possibility further. "I'll do what I can, but he's a grown man, Elizabeth. There's only so much I can do."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I have great faith in you, Sam," Elizabeth nods. "So much faith, I'll even offer you a chocolate despite the fact that you won't gossip with me." She holds up the box of chocolates.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam shook her head. "No, thanks. Too early for chocolates, I think."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth shrugs. "It's never too early for chocolates, if you ask me," she grins. "But then again, I've been up longer than you."

She pauses. "I was about to ask if you were going to that party this afternoon, but I guess not if you're painting Daniel's apartment."

"I didn't sleep well last night, actually," Sam replied, making a face.

"Probably not," she said, "But it'll depend on how I feel after we've finished destroying Daniel's living room."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth looked concerned. "You okay?"

She laughed "Does he know that you're planning on destroying it?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I think so," Sam sighed, running a hand over her face. "I just saw Jack in the infirmary yesterday, then had way too long to myself. All these equations kept running through my head, and I couldn't make them stop so I could fall asleep."

"We're not planning on destroying anything. But you know how these things happen."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She still looked concerned at her friend. "You know you can come and talk to me if you need to, right?"

Elizabeth laughed. "That I do. Does Daniel know what he's getting himself in to?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I do, and I can't tell you how much it helps to know that." Not that she'd really talk to anyone, but it was nice to have the option.

"I'm not sure," Sam laughed, a bit evilly, "But he's the one who told me to bring people, so it's his own fault."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth crawled across her bed, and stood up, moving to hug Sam. "Don't keep things bottled up. Else we'll all kick your ass."

She joined in with the laugher. "I'm sure you'll have fun telling him that later!"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Me? Bottle stuff up? Never happen," she said firmly. "I can't imagine who you've been talking to, but they're telling you vicious lies."

"I will. Count on it. So, you coming, or are you going to retain your sanity and stay here, all nice and clean?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Uh hu. Vicious lies," Elizabeth repeated, her face and voice highly skeptical.

"I might drop in later after the mun has had a lot to drink," she said. "I'll see if anyone else has a more appealing offer."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Horrible, vicious lies. Egregious." Sam nodded emphatically.

"Well, you know where we'll be. I called McKay, so you might want to drop by and harass him. Totally understandable if you don't want to come, though."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth snickered. "You keep telling yourself that!"

She nodded slowly. "It might be worth it to tip paint over him," she said, thinking.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"It might," Sam snickered. "I just felt sorry for the guy, y'know. He doesn' t know anyone except for Jonas, and you know they've got to be driving each other bananas by now, and he's stuck in a teenage body just as much as any of us."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"I would feel more sorry for him, if he wasn't the reason I was stuck in this body," Elizabeth said.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Well, I didn't say you had to feel sorry for him," Sam replied, squeezing Liz's forearm. "And I'm sure I won't feel as bad after a few minutes with him, but I was feeling sympathetic when I called everyone this morning, so he got a call, too."

"You can kick me about it later, if you want."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth quirked her eyebrow. "Everyone? How many people are you planning on having in Daniel's apartment this afternoon?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I didn't know who was available," Sam shrugged. "Cameron, Aeryn, Crichton...Charlie, if he wants to come, McKay, Jonas Quinn, me, you...Jack's still in the infirmary...we can't ask Janet, since Daniel wants it to be a surprise for her. I doubt they'll all show up, though."

"How many is that?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth laughed. "You're meant to be the math genuis here!"
