I do NOT own any of the rights to Night Court or any of its characters. I am just writing this out of, well boredom pretty much and also I absolutely love Night Court and all it's characters. I would love to hear what you think of my writing so I would appreciate feedback. Thanks!:)
I will be adding the chapters to this story as I write them so some may take long than others. Thanks.
The Manhattan night court staff is in Harry's chambers on Christmas Eve celebrating.
Bull suddenly realizes the time.
"Oh no! Mom's going to be arriving soon! I have to be at the dock by 12:30!"
Harry looks at Bull, confused, "Dock? Bull I thought your mother was flying in?"
"Nope! She's sailing in! I've got to run! No time to chat! See you all tomorrow!" He scurries out the door before anyone can say anything.
Mac stands up getting ready to leave as well.
"Well I sure do hope he realizes that tomorrow's Christmas."
Roz stands up as well.
"Don't worry, He'll realize it once he shows up here tomorrow and no one's here."
"Well, I have some paperwork to finish up here before I go home… I feel bad for Quon Le. She was upset about me working on Christmas Eve. I'd buy her something nice but if I had the money I wouldn't be working Christmas Eve!"
Harry feels sorry for Mac.
"Well, maybe when she's asleep you can take something that she forgot that she already bought, pawn it, then buy her something at a really good sale…" Harry can tell that Mac didn't find his joke all that funny.
Mac smiles anyway… "I'll keep that in mind… Merry Christmas everybody."
The group replies to him with a, "Merry Christmas" back.
"I've got a bit of work left myself. She you all in a couple days."
The group says good night to Roz.
Out of nowhere a woman, who could very well be a hooker, wearing a very tight and trampy elf costume walks in.
"Danny… you ready too, make the season bright?" she says with a giggle.
Dan leaps up excited to get out of the party and quickly says, "Yes! Well had fun, great to see ya', hope to do it again sometime, Merry Christmas, ta ta, goodnight!" grabs his date and practically flies out the door.
Christine stands up, not necessarily shocked at Dan's behavior. "Yes, it's always nice to spend the holidays with close friends and family." She rolls her eyes along with Harry.
"Well… I guess I should be going too… Merry Christmas Harry."
"Merry Christmas Christine."
Christine starts to head to the door, then stops.
"Oh, and thanks again for my gift… I really love it."
Harry had given her a locket with a picture with everyone from work.
"And you for mine" He smiles.
She has given him a Mel Torme watch.
The two look at each other for a minute, then they both heat the clock strike midnight.
" I guess it's officially Christmas now." Christine glances at the window and notices that it's snowing.
"Oh Harry, look!" She points to the window.
"Wow! Would you look at that! Just as it hits midnight!"
"This is amazing! I don't think I've ever seen a white Christmas quite like this…"
The two sit and look out the window at the snow for a few minutes.
Christine takes a deep breath and smiles. "I really should be going."
"Yeah me too…" He looks up and sees 'mistletoe' hanging above them.
"But… not after a proper goodnight…"
Christine is slightly confused until she looks up and sees holly.
She smiles. "Oh look, there's holly."
Harry looks up again knowing that it's really holly. Well it was collard greens last year; it can be holly this year. "Nah… I'd say its mistletoe." He looks at her and smiles at her.
"Okay… whatever you say…" She says in a part sarcastic, part joking tone.
"You remember the tradition for being under mistletoe don't you? He grabs her arms and smiles, looking into her eyes.
Christine leans in closer to Harry, she semi-whispers, "Refresh my memory…"
They slowly start to kiss…
Mac walks into Harry's chambers, unaware of what was going on in there.
"Sir?" He looks up from the paper he was looking at and sees Harry and Christine sitting on the window seat.
Harry and Christine realize that Mac was there and immediately jump up.
"Mac!"
Mac smiles, "Hello…"
Humiliated Christine walks to the door not really looking up.
"Well, it's getting really late, I really have to go. Goodnight Mac… Judge Stone…
Suddenly remembering that it's Christmas she slightly, not really showing her face, peaks in the door, "Oh yeah, Merry Christmas." She quickly leaves.
Mac is still looking at Harry with a grin. Harry fully knows that Mac saw him and Christine.
"Mac?"
"Yes Your Honor?"
"It's not what it looked like!"
"It looked like you and Christine were kissing."
"Okay, it's what it looked like. But it turned midnight, she was about to leave, it started snowing, we went to the window, we looked up at the mistletoe and then…" now getting mad, "then, you walked in!"
Mac looks above the window at the "mistletoe", "Looks like holly to me."
"It's mistletoe!"
