Room 239/240

[notcalledlizzie]

Elizabeth is lying, curled up on her bed with a stuffed bear.

A small, neatly wrapped box is sitting on the bedside table.

She's trying to read; the same book she's been reading ever since she was in the library after Speech class.

Her mind keeps flashing back to the trip she made to Mali and the Ivory Coast. She can hardly believe how young and naive she had been. How back then she thought that she could help change the world.

She seems to reread the same paragraph over and over again

"A tumble? Oh, yes - out of the swing," said Katy, as it all came slowly back to her. "Did the rope break, Aunt Izzie? I can't remember about it."

She always reached for books from her childhood whenever she felt down.

I can just stick with blue, if you like?

[[*huggles* Can finish up here tomorrow?]]

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

No, knock yourself out.

((Sure.))

*grins and opens the silver*

[[night!! *huggles*]]

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

I'm going to glow in the dark.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Well, at least Vala will be able to find you easily *grins*

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

And laugh in my face.

*eyes her* You can take this off, right?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Yes, dear. I've already shown you the remover.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Alright, just checking.

*eyes his nails and thinks he looks manly pretty* So now what?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*grins* Well, you wanted me to brush your hair, didn't you?

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Right, fluff me up, baby.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Did you bring your hairbrush then?

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*frowns* I just have a comb.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

The comb will do.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*gets Comb out of his pocket and may or may not always have it on him*

Alright then. Do you think I need a haircut?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*takes the comb and starts brushing his thick, silky hair*

I think you're okay at the moment. Why? Do you think you do?

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

No, just wondering. I like to keep it short, but it seems it's being easily ruffled.

*closes eyes and enjoys*

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

You know I'll keep ruffling it whether it's short or not, don't you?

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*snorts* Duly noted. It's fun when it's short, though. *grins*

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

It's also easier to cope with

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it, I've never had long hair like Archie.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

No, I can't quite picture you with the long curls.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*bats eyelashes* It would look so good with my painted nails.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Maybe we should get you a wig then for Halloween.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

*sticks tongue out* I'm going to leave that up to Vala. I know my last outfit horrified her.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* You're trusting yourself to Vala? Oh, this could be interesting
