Who: Izzie and Denny
What: Waking up the morning after Time Warp plot!
Where: Denny's

When Denny woke, he recalled a strange jumbled dream about a hospital. It'd been fairly depressing and he could clearly remember being hooked up to too many machines, but the smaller details were lost on him as he became more conscious. Before he could really stop and figure them out, he breathed out and felt his stomach graze against something warm and solid. He blinked sleep from his eyes and raised a brow as he realized the lump beside him was breathing.

"Huh," he said, voice gravelly.

Slowly, cautiously, he lifted the blanket and saw tousled blond hair. And then there was a face, partially covered by stray locks, peaceful and beautiful. Denny searched his mind, trying to figure out when she'd gotten into his bed - whoever she was. He couldn't remember ever seeing her before. He couldn't remember getting drunk anytime recently. In fact, there was nothing in his memories that could make sense of this.

"Uh..." Careful to not move too suddenly, he released the blanket and continued to think. No matter how confused he was, he couldn't exactly find it in himself to be upset. There were worse things in the world than waking up beside a beautiful woman. He just wanted to know what was going on.

"Izzie," Denny nodded. For his part, he was wearing boxers and not feeling the least bit awkward about his own nudity. He could stand to see more of her, really, but he was too much a gentleman to make a lewd comment. Especially since he didn't know her. "It's pretty weird, yeah," he grinned. "Are you legal?" He asked suddenly. She looked young. "Should I not be asking that? Maybe it's better I don't know." He was joking. Partially. "I think it's nice to meet you, by the way. And before I say anything else, you should know that I'm not normally this kind of guy."

A blush crept over her cheeks and she gave a nervous laugh. "Maybe it's too late for you to be asking me that but yes I am. I mean I'm 20, so barely I guess but definitely legal." There wasn't any need to ask him the same question, he was older than her for sure. "It's .. nice to meet you too."

She blinked and raised her eyebrow, "Not that kind of.. oh. Oh. Yeah, me either. I take it you don't remember.. anything? Do you even know.. I mean, this isn't my place." That much she knew from looking around. She guessed it was his but it wasn't exactly a bachelor pad type of place.

"Well," he said, and his charm might have gone up a little after he was sure he wouldn't be hauled off to jail for being in bed with her, "that's a relief." He ran a hand through his hair.

"This isn't..." Denny took his eyes of Izzie for the first time since he'd first woken and took in his surroundings. "I..." he raised a brow. "This isn't my place either." He made a face. "You know, I think I've seen horror movies that start like this."

There was another confused look. "Seriously?" she thought maybe he was just playing and joking with her but the look on his face said otherwise. "Shit. This is not good.." without thinking she got up out of the bed, not paying attention to what she was or wasn't wearing. And it turned out to be only a tiny t-shirt and her panties. Maybe she put them back on after, who knew?

She crept up towards the door to their room and turned her head to look at him. "Um.. were you at a party last night? I might have been, I can't really remember." Carefully she opened the door and poked her head out. "Hello?" she called.

No answer.

He appreciated her legs before he came to his senses. Thinking with his brain, he knew, was probably what he needed to do right now. Until he figured out what was going on, at least. "Seriously. To be completely honest, I don't remember being at a party." He got up moments after she did, mostly because it seemed pretty rude to let her test the surroundings while he lounged around. "I don't remember any drinks, either." Spotting a pair of jeans on the floor, he bent down and picked them up before sliding them on. He saw a shirt that looked his size. Instead of picking it up and putting it on, he offered it to Izzie.

"If we're fighting a mysterious, possible serial killing enemy, you should at least take this." He grinned, "Not that I mind you like this. But we wouldn't want some perverted knife wielder checking you out." He probably should have been taking this whole thing a little more seriously. It wasn't that he wasn't concerned; he was. He just couldn't really feel anything worse than mild concern and confusion.

"Yeah that's the thing I don't really remember drinking either. I would have been hungover but I don't feel hungover at all." She paused and called out hello again but didn't hear anything. "Either everyones passed out or no one's here." She turned around to see him holding out his shirt and smiled. She took it from him and put it on, letting it hang down to her hips. "Yeah aren't they always perverted?"

She carefully opened the door and walked out into the hall. So far so good. Then quietly she walked down to see if there was anyone else in the hall. She didn't see anyone. "I... don't think anyone's here." Unless someone was hiding in a closet.

"Hm," Denny looked around, glancing in a room they passed. "We should check. Hate to get all comfortable just to have someone jump out at us unexpectedly, right?" There was a linen closet. Denny opened the door, not bothering to keep a weapon with him. There was no one inside.

He went inside another room and opened the closet. "Nothing." He glanced back, over his shoulder to look at Izzie. "It's just us." This was weird. Not entirely unpleasant, but weird.

Izzie nodded and went to check all of the other closets and things she could find where people could have been hiding. But no, no one was there. And it wasn't like they were both chained up like some weird Saw movie right? She finally came back to him and shook her head. "Nothing here either. I guess we're alone. This is so.. weird. I'm not sure if this is more scary or less."

Because technically it could mean one was out to get the other. He looked nice but he could have been just playing right? "OH look a letter.." she went to go and find out what was over on the stack of papers. It was mail. Mail with their names on it. Sometimes even together. "This has our name on it. Like.. like we live here."

"Let me..." Denny frowned as he grabbed another envelope - there was a little pile of them - and saw his name on it. "...Huh," was all he could think of when he saw the next one, which had Izzie's name on it. This was too much - it was way too elaborate to be some prank.

"Well," he said, "This makes no sense. It looks like we live together." He opened one of the envelopes that had his name on it and blinked when he saw the date. "Um. Is it supposed to be 2009?"

It couldn't be that he was trying to set her up, this was all a little too much definitely. "Live together? But.. as far as I know I didn't.. wait what?" she took the envelope out of his hand and stared at the date "2009?? Holy shit," she gasped glancing up at him. "Pardon my language. Just.. It was like 1999. That's ten years. Ten. Years." She looked completely dumbfounded.

"What year is.. was it for you?" Man they had to figure out what the heck was going on. And if they just lived together why did they wake up in the same bed? That was another question she wanted to know the answer to.

	"It should be 2000. It was 2000 yesterday for me." He laughed, because he wasn't entirely sure what other reaction was appropriate for this sort of situation. "This doesn't make any sense." He paused for a beat. "Holy shit." "Time travel doesn't actually happen, right?" He looked at her, questioning. Apparently, they'd switched from a horror flick to sci-fi.

Putting a hand over her face, she rubbed at her eyes a bit. He was laughing that was good, maybe he wasn't horrified. But he probably was actually. She was, but she didn't know what to do with this either. "It really doesn't make sense. I don't.. think so? Oh man.." she sighed and looked around for a television. She flipped it on for a moment and saw the date. "It really is 2009."

The tv was flipped off and she sunk down on the couch. "So.. it's 2009, I should be like. 29. And we're in a apartment that we.. apparently share together and.. we woke up in bed together. Are we uh.. married?" She hadn't checked her hand to be honest.

	Denny sat down beside her, giving her enough room so that she wouldn't freak out too badly. He glanced at her hand, "Doesn't look like we're married," he said. "I should be thirty six. Doesn't look like I'm doing too badly," he smiled. Denny didn't really know how to function without being a bit of a charming flirt. "Are you, um, okay?" He glanced her over.

It didn't look like she was going to freak out, well at least she hoped not. She glanced at her hands but there was no ring there either. "That answers that," she glanced up at him and smiled some. "No I guess it doesn't. Guess I'm not doing too bad either." If he was going to flirt with her, then she'd flirt back.

"Yeah I'm.. well it's weird but.. okay I guess. This means we're just.. dating or something? I don't even know." She was only in her panties after all. "Are you okay?"

He grinned brightly when she flirted back. Obviously this woman was a keeper. "I think we're together. I don't really make a habit of sleeping with roommates." He paused. "I'd probably make an exception for you," he added, smirking. And then he got a little serious. "I think I'm fine. Well. Fine might be too strong a word. I'm confused. But I'm not freaking out. I think we'll figure out whatever the hell is going on right now."

"Yeah me either. Well not unless they're really.. hot, which you obviously are but still." She kind of grinned at him a bit. Yeah fine wasn't the right word for things. "Right figuring out what's going on. How do you propose we do that then? There's got to be something or some way of .. I mean is it just us that's skipped ten years? And together? That's.. I mean if just one person then it would be just someone crazy. But two? That's.. I don't know but it's not crazy."

	"Thanks," Denny beamed, arms crossing over his chest as he settled back into the couch and made himself a little more comfortable. "Oh, it's still crazy. It's just not... us being crazy." He shrugged lightly. "Maybe there others. There has to be a way to check." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hmming a bit she tried to figure out a way to tell. "Well we could go outside and look and ask people. Or maybe we could get online? I don't know if we even have a computer really. I only had one at school and it took forever. We don't want to tie up the phone line but we can try? It's important."

Her legs stretched out before her and she looked around to see if they had one. "Wanna try that?"

	"We can try that," Denny said, picking himself up. He walked out of the room and into another and he shouted. "We've got a computer here." Waiting for her to catch up, he turned the thing on and raised a brow. "Modern technology." This laptop was a lot thinner than the one he had at home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Izzie followed him to the other room and ooh'd a bit as soon as she saw the computer. "Wow this is all nice. Technology is definitely better and prettier." Yeah prettier that was the word for it. "Turn it on.." she nudged him a bit gently with her shoulder. "Maybe the internet is better now or something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Uh..." there was a small smile on his face, there because she'd touched him. "Give me a second." He was trying to decipher how to work this without breaking it. He clicked an icon and nothing happened. "Hm." He chewed the inside of his cheek. "Let's try..." He clicked something and a browser window popped up. "That. That worked, I think."

He had a really nice smile she noticed. She pulled up a chair next to his and sat down so that she could watch whatever he was doing. "Oh wow. This is. Wow. And there was no dialup. It was just always on. Oh man, I like the future. A hot guy and the internet." Maybe she was a slight nerd. "I'm not sure what we should be looking for though." It's not like either of them knew about google.

	"AOL? Ask Jeeves?" He asked. He tried, more than a little impressed by the technological advances of the time. As he typed, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye. "I'm hot, huh?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eatthemuffin 2009-01-19 05:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure, try that." she glanced at the screen watching mostly it but sometimes she glanced at him just as he was glancing over at her. "Uh.. well you know, yeah you are. Really hot actually. I have really good taste. Find anything yet?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Thanks," he laughed and it was a warm, quiet sound. "I have good taste, too." He gave her a Look that made he clear he found her hot, too.

"Keywords..." he thought it over. "We need key-" He stopped when he noticed something bookmarked. He clicked it and waited as the page loaded. It took no time at all. "Look at this... messageboards." He read to himself, frowning lightly.
