Isabel
As we wait for the bill to be paid he answers,"Yes, it looks ... good. I look years younger I guess and ... you did a good job, Isabel. Or well, Jason did. I might have to recommend you."
I chuckle before replying "I don't mind if everyone you recommend is as amenable to change as you are." We walk out of the salon together and head for my car,"I'll drive you home." I offer as I open the door and get in

"I don't mind if everyone you recommend is as amenable to change as you are."
I grin at that, even I'm able to see this is a compliment. "Thanks, but I guess it also has a lot to do with who the person in charge of the make over is. For all I know, I could as well have ended up as a red head." I tease.
"I'll drive you home." Isabel comments as we get into her car. Well, I have my car at work but the drive to my place is longer so I can spend more time with her. I can go with the bus to work tomorrow.
"Okay, thank you." I comment as I fasten my seat belt. "Would you like to have a coffee when we reach my place?" Seeing her look, I immediately hold up my hands, "Strictly coffee, I won't try anything funny, I promise."

I laugh at his red head joke and drive down the road,heading away from town.
"Would you like to have a coffee when we reach my place?Strictly coffee, I won't try anything funny, I promise." he asks
"Alex,I hardly know you but...and don't my saying this...you hardly seem the type of guy who will try anything funny."
Turning to look at him for a moment I reply,"Yeah okay,a quick coffee will be nice.Okay now which way should I go?"

"Alex,I hardly know you but...and don't my saying this...you hardly seem the type of guy who will try anything funny."
Oh yeah, that is true I'm way too chicken for that.
"Yeah okay,a quick coffee will be nice.Okay now which way should I go?"
I grin slightly at that. Guess it has advantages to be the nice guy. Can't believe she agreed! And can't believe how nervous I am about this. Oh God, what will we talk about? The kiss?
"This way for a bit longer and the third turn left and then we take the second turn right and we are at my street. My house is the fifth one on the right side then."

"This way for a bit longer and the third turn left and then we take the second turn right and we are at my street. My house is the fifth one on the right side then." he informs me
I nod and follow his directions,driving in comfortable silence until I pull up to his house.It's not very large,compact would be how you'd describe it.I guess it's just right for him since he's single.It suddenly strikes me that he might share it with someone else.
As we walk up to his door I decide to ask him,"Do you live alone or do you share this place with another guy or something?"

Occ: (Hey, what the hell does "occ" stand for anyway? LOL!) Wow. I missed a lot at work yesterday but that worked out pretty good. So we're still going with the guys surprising Alex. I'm thinking that Kyle had heard from Tess about the makeover when he drove her home from the club. That way, Alex doesn't know that the guys know about it but they can still surprise Alex and Isabel. Ok?
~KYLE~
I'm inside Whitman's house with Michael and Max, waiting for him to get back. We ordered pizzas and have sodas and beer to celebrate his new look. Hopefully, it won't be too shocking. I mean how much could that guy have changed in a few hours right?
I hope they get here soon. I'm starving and the pizza's getting cold. "Hey, Max, did you bring the camera? I can't wait to see Alex's face when we surprise him. There's gonna be a lot of teasing and picking on him going on tonight!" I laugh.
~LIZ~
I'm sitting at home, sprawled across my bed with a tub of ice cream that I'm sharing with Tess and Maria. Max has not called. I either scared the guy off or he's just a typical guy and won't call within the first 48 hours. Either way, I'm hate to admit it but I'm disappointed. We're watching chick flicks and discussing random subjects.
"So did I see your dad's car out front when I came over?" Maria asks me.
I nod, swallowing a mouthful of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. "Yeah, he's home but he's leaving again in two days. I asked if he wanted to spend some time tonight together but he said he had too much to do and we'd spend tomorrow together, going shopping or whatever I wanted to do. I asked if he wanted me to help with something related to the business but he just smiled at me in that irritating way of his like I'm still 7 years old and said, 'No, sweetheart. You shouldn't worry your pretty head with business problems.'" I make a face of disgust. "Sometimes I wonder if he really thinks I'm just a pretty face with no brains or that he's just being over protective. Thank goodness he loves my charity commitments. I think I'd lose my mind if I didn't have at least those to fall back on. That carnival night on Saturday ought to be fun. You guys are coming right?" I convinced one of those nice travelling carnivals to donate half their money to my cause for the orphaned children. I'm telling everyone I see about it and I even am paying for some of those children to be able to come to the carnival and have a great time themselves.
*MARIA*
I nod and say, "Yeah, I'm coming. I'm not so sure about the party on Friday night, though. The way things have been going on that show I think we'll be there late all this week." The new teen melodrama show was supposed to be my salvation and a wonderful opportunity, and it is, but sometimes it's hard to get it all filmed right in the director's eyes and we end up there all day. I'm constantly having to touch up the make up and wardrobe of these stars but in between that, I'm almost bored silly. I need a hobby I can do while I'm waiting between takes.
Liz looks a little shocked. "You have to come, Maria! You never miss one of my parties...well, except for the time you had strep throat. You come just as late as you want."
I sigh and relent. I really love her parties. "Ok, ok. I'll be there. How about you, Tess? You're gonna be at the party on Friday and the carnival on Saturday?" I ask her.

the surprise is fine with me

... does Max know who is doing a make over on Alex?
ALEX
For a stupid second, I actually wonder if Isabel is asking if I'm gay before I realize that she meant if I have a room mate.
"No guy, no girl and no animal living with me. I'm all alone. Well, I do have a few plants but they don't really count I guess." I reply as I walk beside her up to the door.
"Do you have a roommate or a pet?" I ask as I unlock the door, glancing at Isabel with a raised eyebrow.

Um, I'll leave that up to Mel. Either he wouldn't and he's in for a shock or he does and figures he can't avoid talking to his sister forever. I'll leave that up to Karen and Mel. How does that sound?

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
Ergh. That incident at the club was just my luck wasn't it...
"Hey, Max, did you bring the camera? I can't wait to see Alex's face when we surprise him. There's gonna be a lot of teasing and picking on him going on tonight!"
I mean... I find a VERY hot chick and she practically faints on me and I have to go all doctory....
Wait, did someone just say something to me? I look up at Kyle. "Huh?" I say as I try to remember what he said. "Um, yeah...yeah I brought the camera," I tell him. I know ALex is having a makeover but I still don't understand why. I mean...who's doing it? And why? Images float through my mind of Alex trying to impress my sister...
Nah, that can't be right... right?
"Can't we just eat the pizza?" I say as I get out my beeper to check I haven't been emergency called in. Thats the problem with being a senior doctor... they always seem to need you at the wrong moment.
And then I hear the unlocking of a door. I look up at the others and mouth, "Let's hide." I quickly get behind a sofa.
