A/N: So, episode 13, Kevin and the ducks he needed for Saturday. What did Kevin need ducks for?, I wondered. And then I started to think on it and this all happened.

Stella was complaining, loudly, to Macy when the brunette spotted the eldest Lucas brother. "Hey, it's Kevin!"

"No it's not, don't change the subject," Stella snapped. "I don't want to walk anymore! These heals were not meant to be walked in for long periods of time! I'm supposed to stand around and look pretty in them! We're calling a cab and you're paying because not only are my feet killing me but I think my ears may fall off!" Stella stomped her foot and glared around the park that Macy said would be a short cut. She couldn't believe she'd agreed to walk to the mall when she had a perfectly good car sitting in her driveway.

Macy gave an exaggerated nod before tugging her friend off the path. "No, see, it really is Kevin!"

"Mace, you really need to drop the JON -- oh, hey, it is Kevin!"

Kevin was seated alone on a bench that was situated a few feet from one of the parks ponds. He was fully bundled up in winter wear and had a large bag sitting on his lap.

Macy made it down the hill first and waved cheerfully at Kevin.

"Oh, hey Macy!" Kevin said, turning his attention away from the pond and noticed the blonde as well. "And Stella too! What brings you two here today?"

"We're heading to the mall. What are you doing here?" Stella asked.

"I'm feeding the ducks."

"Kevin," Stella started slowly, "it's almost December. There are no," but as Stella turned to see what Kevin had mistaken for ducks, she was shocked to see nearly a dozen of them swimming about. "Kevin, why are there ducks in the pond?"

Kevin pulled some more bread from the bag on his lap and tossed it into the pond. "I missed feeding the ducks so I rented some out for the day."

"Kevin, you can't just--!" Stella huffed and turned to Macy for backup but her friend was standing by the water cooing at the ducks. "You do know why ducks migrate sou--"

"Of course! They migrate south for the warmer climate because in places like here the water becomes unbearably cold and usually ices over. There's also the issue of their primary food source becoming sparse in the colder seasons."

Stella blinked. "Right, well... Do you have any idea how cold that water probably is?!" Stella could already see the disastrous tabloid headliner.

"Yes, that's why I rented a water heater! It's like one of those things you use for hot tubs. See, it's over there by Mike. Mike is my duck wrangler." Kevin pointed towards a man Stella hadn't noticed standing thirty feet away.

"Kevin, you didn't heat the whole pond."

"I did! You can check yourself!"

Stella gave him a skeptical look but Macy was apparently game. She peeled off one of her gloves and dipped a finger in before shoving her whole hand in. "Wow, that feels nice!"

Stella stood there silently for another few moments and watched Kevin toss more chunks of bread into the pond. When she noticed Macy edging her way over to Kevin she finally spoke up. "Well, we gotta go now, Kev. We have a full day of shopping ahead for us. C'mon, Macy. Uh, have fun, Kevin."

"I always do!" Kevin chirped, waving at the two retreating figures.

"Oh, that's the sweetest thing ever!" Macy said as Stella dragged her away.

"Those boys have far too much money," Stella groused.

A/N: I completely acknowledge that it clearly wasn't winterish weather in ep 13...so, tweaked for my own selfish purposes.
