Photo Hut, Wednesday, 9/26

Johnny slept in. It was an accident. So he opened the Hut just a tad late and hoped Leo wasn't around to chew his butt. Not that he was expectinbg that, but regardless, Johnny usually wasn't so irresponsible.

Who was he kidding? Yes he was. 

Photo Hut is open.

Isabel had taken a walk into town to grab some lunch, realizing it was Wednesday, she decided to stop by and visit Johnny.

"Hey stranger. Miss me?"

"Hey, you!" he said with a wide grin. "Where've you been hiding?"

"Roswell for the last week," she answered with a grin of her own. "My brothers are back. I had to go see them to so I'd believe it."

"That's great! How are they?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Tired, but glad to be home," Isabel said, her smile fading as she thought about how worried she still was about them. "They've been through a lot. It's going to take them some time to get over it."

"Are they home for good?" he asked her softly.

"Yeah. It's all over," she replied quietly. "The planet's gone so there's no more need for a king, his second in command or the princess."

Johnny was almost sorry he mention any of this from the look and quietness about her. "Everything's going to be all right then, isn't it Isabel?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It is. I'm just thinking about all the people. Max and Michael helped as many get off planet as they could but still, a lot of people died." Isabel looked down and shrugged a shoulder. "The thing is, I can't help thinking that I can have a life now that doesn't involve saving a planet. I can just be Isabel and think about things like college and a future. Does that make me selfish?"

Savannah, of course, showed up with coffee.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Hey, babe," he said when he saw her walk in. He came around the counter and took the coffee from her, grinning. "You are so sweet to me."

Savannah smiled up at him. "I like doing this for you, love."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"I know and I appreciate it," he leaned down, kissing her soft mouth. "How are you feeling today?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She smiled, kissing him back. "A little tired. I hope I didn't wake you up last night with the nightmares and everything. I was trying to be quiet."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"I... didn't even hear you, god, I'm such a lousy boyfriend," he grumbled the last. "What kinds of dreams?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

She grabbed him and shook her head with a frown. "Johnny, I'm very good at being quiet and hiding when I'm upset. You are not a lousy boyfriend. You're a wonderful boyfriend."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Then why are you having nightmares? Am I not holding you close enough at night?" Worry etched his tone and he held her close.

"Oh for Hell's Bells!" Red puppet griped when Leo brought him downstairs. "Look who finally decided to show up today." Leo facepalmed, and looked apologetic.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny stared. Uhhh.

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Is that what Leo pays you for? To stand around looking like a dumbass?"

Leo sighed. "Hey, Red Man, that's not nice."

sorry Johnny, I couldn't resist.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Johnny frowned and looked at Leo. What the hell?

"Who is... I mean, this your puppet?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, his name's Red." Leo sighed. "He can be kinda irritable. But he's actually an okay guy if you don't let him rattle you."

"Ahem," Red puppet harumphed. "I'm still here."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Okay. This was really different. Puppets did not talk on their own which made Johnny totally wonder about Leo.

"He's an ass."

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

Leo snickered, and Red puppet glowered. "You're lucky you're not my son young man."

"Oh? Why's that old timer?"
