The Park: Friday Afternoon

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

The tent had been erected in the middle of the Park, but as Isabel kept saying, there was so much work to do still.  So Peter was on a stepladder, stringing up fairy lights through the trees and around and in the tent while Isabel rushed around with her clipboard, scribbling madly and trying to do fifteen things at once.

Peter?  Had never missed the armies of stewards and servants in Cair Paravel more than he did right now.

But still there were chairs to be covered, backdrops to be set up, gondolas to actually arrive and be put in the lake, ducks to keep away from the tables, and probably a million other little things written on the list of Doom...err Prom.

If Isabel could have read Peter's mind, importing stewards and servants from Cair Paravel would have definitely been listed on her Things to Remember for Next Year's list. But for now she was focusing on her phone and the vendor on the other end. "I don't care if the driver got confused and wound up going North. He should have realized when he hit Deleware! I don't care that he's in New Jersey. If he turns around he can be here by eight or so tonight."

Peter shook his head. "Isabel, I promise. Everything will be fine."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It will. I know," she said as she hung up the phone. "But between now and then there's a lot that can go wrong although I did try to think up possibilities and try to plan for them."

Josh leaned against a tree and watched the proceedings.

He'd designated himself supervisor.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

The supervisor should be wary of slighty stressed party planners carrying bags of glitter.

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh wouldn't recognize the instincts of self-preservation if they smacked him over the head with a bag of glitter.

"I'm not sure you've got enough in your hands there," he commented.

Peter waved to Mr. Lyman. "Sir? Could you come over here and help me with the fairy lights?"

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Fairy lights, huh?" Josh replied, walking over. "Is this going to get me in trouble like the twinkie thing?"

Bridge hadn't slept last night again- every time he closed his eyes, the nightmares came back.

After a while, it got to the point where he just *couldn't* stay cooped up in his room anymore. He needed to get out and walk around. Clear his head. Or try to, anyway. Which is why he was in the park.

Peter waved to Bridge when he saw him. Waved from the top of a ladder sure, but there was still a grin and wave.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Peter," Bridge waves back. The smile he gives in return is sort of halfhearted, but at least he's trying.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel spotted Bridge and darted over, hoping to find shanghai another volunteer. "Hi Bridge!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Isabel," Bridge replies.

River was wandering through the park and couldn't resist inspecting the preparations. And the ducks interest in it.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

As she raced about, Isabel couldn't help tossing a little glitter towards River.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River spun around in the glitter shower. "Need help with glitter tossing?" she asked, grinning.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Afternoon, River," Peter said with a smile.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Afternoon," River said, smiling back. "I like the tent. But the ducks are confused."

On her way back from Xander's, Parker stopped to watch Peter and Isabel fret and spaz around, very glad it was not her job this year.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grinned at Parker. "Enjoying your senior class priviledges?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel had a stack of chair covers in her hand. Isabel grinned at Parker.

A little discombobulated from his encounter with Piper (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1595259.html?thread=71066235#t71066235) even though it hasn't quite been played out yet, Anders was detouring through the park on his way back to campus when he spotted Parker, and gave her a slight wave.

Peter wandered down to the park, ready to decorate. "Hey. Need anything hung high up in trees? I can do that part," Peter said.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"There's plenty of extra lights that can be strung through the trees," Isabel said, already heading towards the boxes.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Other Peter!" Peter said with a grin.
