A/N - This is just a little multi parter. I don't know how many parts just yet but I don't think it will be that long. I got the idea from the movie "One Fine Day" lol and I think the storyline is great. Seeing as it is the Xmas season, I put a little holiday spin on it so hopefully it works. Hope you guys like it and Happy Holidays!


"Come on Rory, daddy has to start his new job today and I can't be late!"

The 6 year old girl frowned at her father as he started packing up her crayons and promptly pulled her page away when he tried to grab it. "Daddy! That's my picture!"

"I know sweetheart..."

"And you took all my crayons!"

"Because we need to..."

"That's not fair!"

Paul Levesque breathed in deeply before hunkering down to the same height as the little madam in front of him. He wasn't about to stand there and argue about crayons with a 6 year old. He needed to get her to school and get to the office. There was no way he was strolling in there late, reputation preceding him or no. He tilted his head and looked at his daughter. She was chewing on her bottom lip and staring right back at him, a defiant glint in her big hazel eyes and he couldn't help but chuckle. He'd be damned if she wasn't a feisty little thing. "Listen, you behave for me this morning and do what you're told I'll take you anywhere you want or buy you anything you want at the weekend. Sound good?"

Aurora looked at her father sceptically. "Anything?"

"Anything in this whole wide world!"

"Deal!" she screamed and jumped into his arms. He laughed and hugged her back before smoothing her hair and kissing her cheek. "Now go get your schoolbag ready and come right back down here. We need to get you to school." She raced off immediately and he smirked to himself. He wasn't above bribery. Besides, she'd probably choose some Barbie doll, no biggie. As he listened to her footsteps pattering around in the next room he quickly put on his coat and grabbed his briefcase. After a moment he reached for his gloves and scarf too. From the scene out the window it was snowing and rather heavily at that. He just hoped to God nothing would screw up today.

"Ready!"

He turned to find Aurora standing there, her little pink coat buttoned all the way to the top. Smiling as he walked towards her, he handed her a hat, glove and scarf set. "It's snowing out there. And we don't want you turning into a snowman do we?"

She shook her head and sighed as she pulled on her gloves. "I can't be a snowman, daddy. I'm a girl." Her giggling filtered through the open door as he playfully tugged her hat over her eyes and lifted her up as they walked outside.

"Come on, let's try to find a cab," he said when he eventually put her down. Her little gloved hand slipped into his and they began the search for any semblance of yellow amongst the white blizzard.


"Alex!"

Stephanie McMahon stood at the foot of the stairs and shook her head as she called again. "ALEX!" Still no answer. With a heavy sigh she marched to her son's room and pushed the door open. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw that he was still lying fast asleep in bed. "ALEX!" she almost screeched causing the 6 year old to bolt upright out of the bed, his brown hair sticking up in every direction. "I called you almost an hour ago and you told me you were getting dressed! What are you doing?"

The young boy was used to his mother's hysterics but not when he had just woken up. That's when his eyes caught a glimpse of the time and then he began to panic. He would be late for school! Normally this wouldn't be a problem but today they were picking new homeroom partners and he didn't want to get stuck with somebody he didn't like. "I'm sorry mom," he mumbled, quickly rubbing at his eyes and getting out of the bed.

If he didn't look so cute in his little Spiderman pyjamas, ruffled hair and pouting lip she would have been angry. But he always knew how to melt her heart and she just couldn't shout at him. "It's ok. But you need to hurry or we'll be seriously late for school and I'll be even later for work." Just like her son, she was meeting the newest member of their marketing team today. All the bosses would be there and she certainly didn't want to give the wrong impression. Tugging on his hand she gave him a gentle nudge towards the bathroom. "Go brush your teeth and I'll get your clothes ready. Hurry!"

Not even a minute later he emerged looking more awake, his big blue eyes finally fully open.

"You managed to brush your teeth that fast?"

"Yeah," he shrugged nonchalantly, walking to the bed and reaching for the clothes laid on it.

"I'll let you off today but you have to brush them extra long tonight you hear me?" At his groan she chuckled and kissed his head. "I want you downstairs in five minutes!"

Alex shooed her away and began getting dressed. "Ok mom."

Stephanie sighed as she quickly pulled on her coat and hat. The snow had been pelting down since she had got up this morning. But there was just something about Christmas time that couldn't dampen her mood. With a wistful smile she turned to find him standing right behind her, hat, coat and gloves already on and toothy grin in place.

"Wow! You're Speedy Gonzalez today aren't you?"

"Who's Speedy Gonzalez?" he asked, his nose crinkling in his confusion.

She just laughed and took his hand. "Never mind. Come on, let's get you to school."


Paul and Aurora were practically running down the hall. By the time they found a cab and got to her school it was almost 9 which meant that they had missed registration. They came to a sudden stop outside her door. Paul began apologising profusely to the old teacher who frowned at him as he bundled his daughter into the room. Old hag. Ignoring her he kissed the golden strands on his daughters head. "I'll see you later, OK? Have fun!"

"Bye daddy!" she waved, absentmindedly wandering to an empty desk and sitting down. She watched her father disappear around the corner before turning into the stare of Mrs Baldwin.

"You're lucky young lady. One more minute and you would have been late."

She gulped nervously, her eyes wide. "Sorry Mrs Baldwin."

The old bat was just about to make another comment about tardiness when a second group of haggled people burst through the door. This time it was Alexander McMahon and his mother. She shook her head and motioned for the pair to come in.

"I'm so sorry Mrs Baldwin. He slept in, it won't happen again," Stephanie said breathlessly, ushering her son out of his coat and nudging him in the direction of the classroom. He tried to resist but she shoved him anyways. "Go Alex!"

"But what about picking homeroom partners?"

"Well I'm afraid you're just too late for that, Mr McMahon," Mrs Baldwin stated simply.

Stephanie tried not to roll her eyes. Way to get your power trip for the week by ordering around 6 year olds. She noticed the pout on his face and frowned. "Hey, we'll maybe go to Chuckee Cheese for dinner tonight, alright?" The instant smile that crossed his face was enough to set her at ease. She kissed his soft hair before hustling out the door with a wave. God this morning was already frantic and it was barely after 9!


Alex watched his mother leave before he turned to survey the room. There was only one empty seat left and it was beside a girl! "Gross," he whispered under his breath. His eyes looked to Mrs Baldwin in desperation. When she motioned to the desk he sighed in resignation and sullenly walked towards it. He plopped down unceremoniously while trying to scope out the girl beside him.

"I'm Rory! What's your name?"

He scoffed and shook his head. "Rory? That's a boy's name!"

"No it isn't!"

"Yes it is! Boy name!" he laughed and stuck out his tongue. The sharp pain in his shin immediately put an end to his laughter. "Owwww!"

"What is going on here?" Mrs Baldwin asked incredulously as she came to stand in front of the pair. Alex was holding his shin and Aurora was smiling innocently.

"She kicked me Mrs Baldwin!" Alex yelled with a glare.

Aurora bristled defensively. "He said I have a boy name!"

"Now, now, now! There will be no name calling or kicking. OK?"

The two youngsters glared at each other before turning to face their teacher in disgust. "OK," they mumbled in unison. This was not the start to new homeroom partners either of their young minds had expected.


The snow blurred his vision as he stood on the curb and tried to hail a cab but they were all God damn full. At times like this he hated this damn city. Glancing at his watch he sighed, almost in defeat. If he didn't get a cab in the next five minutes he was going to be late. In the distance he spotted a taxi with its light on. It was free! He stepped onto the road and started waving like a lunatic, smiling when he saw the cab begin to cut lanes to get to him. A sudden and loud thump from behind caught his attention though. He turned to see a woman lying on her ass on the snowy ground. He quickly moved to help her up.

"Are you OK?"

"Oh My God! I'm so embarrassed. I can't..." her trembling hands reached out to grab the books from his grasp.

Paul looked into her shaken brown eyes and tried to smile reassuringly. "It's OK. Can you walk?"

She pushed her blonde hair back from her shoulders and nodded her head. He stayed with her for a few moments and rolled his eyes as she dramatically fanned at herself. Alright she fell, she didn't break her damn neck! His eyes darted around over her shoulder and fell upon the sexiest pair of legs he had ever seen in his life. They travelled upwards, covering a perfectly proportioned body, ample cleavage and a stunning face. He was momentarily distracted as he continued to check the woman out. So distracted in fact, that he didn't realise that she was looking right at him. He managed to nod his head and smile. The smile turned to a grin when she did exactly the same back, her sultry smile attracting all of his attention. His eyes followed her further and further until she eventually got into a waiting cab and sped off. And that's when it hit him. She had just stolen his taxi!

"Fuck!"

The woman beside him looked on in confusion. "I'm sorry?"

"She just stole my cab!"

"What?"

He motioned to the cab that was now lost in traffic somewhere, his hand waving emphatically. "She just stole my fucking cab!" He threw his hands into the air in exasperation. "Jesus!" He forgot all about the drama queen next to him and began muttering under his breath. "Well isn't this just fucking great!" That bitch had played him! She had to have been close enough to see the other woman fall, she saw him wave down the cab then go to help and she took her chance. He couldn't believe it. Damn him for being such a sucker for a pair of legs! Actually, damn her for being such a conniving wench. If he ever saw her again he'd be sure to give her a piece of his mind. Virtually resigned to the fact that he was going to be late, he shrugged Blondie off and began walking along the street, his eyes scanning the busy road for any sign on an empty car. His first day on the job and he was late. What a fucking mess!
