Friday morning [239/240]

[notcalledlizzie]

*points at new laptop power cable and does a happy dance*


Elizabeth had some of Jack's caffiene package when she woke up.

Bad plan.

She was all but bouncing around the room, waiting for Cameron to turn up and the others to wake up so they could go running.

She eyed her water bottle, and then looked across at Janet's bed.

No.

Twice would be pushing it.

"I'm awake," Charlie grunted and rolled out of bed, this time onto his feet rather than his face. He was a little stiff from last night's hockey practice. He hadn't fallen over, but his muscles did get a good work out. It was hockey season now as far as he was concerned, and that meant staying fit.. even if he had to go running early again.

Elizabeth grinned at him. "'Bout time you joined us one morning! How did hockey go last night? I was going to come and heckle support, but I was reading, and then I wasn't because I'd fallen asleep..."

Charlie got up in nothing but boxer shorts and stumbled over to his locker. He got out a shirt and pulled it over his head, then fumbled around for a pair of shorts and a pair of socks. "Hockey was great. Good turn out. We've got enough for two teams of six, plus a bench warmer for each team. Hardly anyone can play, but it'll be fun once they can skate. I'm pretty excited about it."

Elizabeth watched him cross the room with interest.

"Well, skating's not too difficult, surely? Maybe you should get a load of bins for them to lean on whilst they practise?" she giggled.

"I'm thinkin' training wheels or something." He pulled out running shoes and closed the locker, then crossed and dropped down onto one of his beds to put on his socks and shoes. "I'll probably take a couple of the guys skating next week. Can't this weekend. It's pretty full up. There's Rory's birthday party and the Ethics project and.. is the Plotting Zoo this weekend?"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"It is!" Elizabeth grinned, flopping back down on her bed. "It should be interesting, to say the least. Much more than my trip to the body farm, and hopefully better smelling too!

What ethics project? Did I miss something in class last week?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Umm.." Kawalsky did up his laces. "I got one of the TA positions. Professor Maclay's got a project lined up. Don't worry, I think you'll like the idea behind it, but I can't tell much about it."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She waved her hand at him, dismissively. "Okay, that's fine... and congratulations. Seriously, I was just worried that I'd missed something. Besides... it's not long until class anyway."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Nah, you didn't miss nothing. Wait til today, though. Some heads are gonna go boom. It'll be great!" He stood up and stretched. "So where you planning on running today?" He looked around at the other beds. "When everyone's up, I mean."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She snickered. "I believe you."

She rocked back and forwards on her toes. "I don't know... maybe to Serenity Cove?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good to me. Haven't really checked that place out. You like it there?" He totally wasn't fishing for details. At all. Nope.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Actually, I've not been there myself. Heard it mentioned before by people, so I figure it's got to have something going for it," she grinned. "Besides, come winter, we're probably not going to want to do as many waterside runs, so we should ger them in now!"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Good point. I forgot it was so late in the year. Can't believe I missed out on summer and all of 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Gonna have to figure out if there's anything good on the other side of town too, any tracks worth checking out."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She smiled sympathetically. "Yeah, I was in Atlantis elsewhere for it as well... not quite as bad as you, I admit.

The fell past the church is pretty good... I've gone there a couple of time by myself."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Cool. Have to check that out. What's past that? I haven't gone for a walk that far out."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Past the fell? Just the road off the island as far as I know."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Hmm. Okay." There had to be more to the island that what he'd seen. The plots demanded it. "Serenity Cove sounds like a good start." If they didn't have Ethics so early, he would have invited her to breakfast. Or lunch, but after class things were going to get a mite trickier. *insert maniacal laughter here*

"It might just be more land waiting for developers?" she suggested. "The town's pretty small, but it's been growing, so unused land wouldn't surprise me."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Oh that'd be cool. There's a bunch of stuff in town I haven't seen yet. I hear an ice rink might be opening up. I'd try to get a job there, but I think with hockey and the TA job and everything else I'd get swamped. Doesn't mean I won't be there a lot anyway." He grinned.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Really? That would be cool. I've not skated in years. I think the last time must have been... no, I skated at the Rockefeller Center on one of my first visits to New York after I graduated. But still," she laughed. "It's been a while."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"We should go when it opens up. If you want to. I love to skate, whether I've got a hockey stick in my hands or not."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

She smiled at him. "Yeah, that would be nice. I'd like that."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Cool." He grinned and then threw a pillow in Janet's general direction.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth giggled. "I'm distancing myself from any attempts to wake anyone up," she said, holding up her hands.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Jaaaanet," Charlie cooed. "Jaaaaaaaaanet. If you don't wake up, I'm gonna start singing.."
