The Dining Hall was packed. All anyone could do was talk about the Christmas saved by Rudolph.

Rudolph himself was surrounded by others asking him how he was able to get the courage to perform such a difficult task and how he makes his nose glow and how he controls it and other stupid questions. They would ask the same ones, no matter how many times he answered them.

Rudolph was tired. All he wanted was to have a little peace and quiet. And...Zoey.

He had almost forgotten all about her. He realized that all he wanted was to spend some time with her.

He looked around the room desperately, hoping to find her. Then he caught sight of her over at the Christmas tree, talking to her friends.

Little did he know what she was talking about.


Zoey was talking to her friends, Katie and Hope.

Zoey continued with the conversation. "So, she was like 'Oh, no you didn't!' and I was like 'Oh, yes I did!', and I just said that right in her face."

"You did?!" Katie said. "Great!"

"Hey, look," Hope said, "Rudolph's looking at you!"

Zoey turned to see Rudolph's gentle brown eyes looking directly into hers.

She blushed.

"I think you've got a buckfriend on your hooves." Katie chirped.

"Oh come on. Just because we shared our feelings doesn't mean we're dating now."

Katie looked at Hope. "Should she go over there?"

"She should go over there."

They began to push Zoey.

"Hey! Stop!"

But it was too late. She found herself standing in front of the handsome buck.

She turned to see her friends were peeking around the Christmas tree at her.

She scowled. Thanks a lot.


Rudolph himself was speechless to see the beautiful doe standing right in front of him.

Not a word was said between them. They stared deeply into each other's eyes.

"Hey, Zoey," Rudolph said finally, "I missed you."

She blushed. "You did?"

He came closer. "The whole time."

Zoey couldn't say anything.

Just then, Rudolph closed his eyes, leaned in, and placed his mouth firmly on Zoey's.

Zoey's eyes popped out for a second, then she began to kiss back.

They both felt as if their emotions had combined into something else: love. They've never felt such joy in their lives. And they liked it.

"Ahem!"

The two broke apart to see Blitzen standing there with the most awkward look on his face, as if he were judging them for what they were doing.

Rudolph's heart sank. He's going to kill me.

But he smirked. "What the hell are you two doing?"

Rudolph blushed. "Uh...talking?"

Blitzen was silent for just a moment.

"Why don't you two continue this at home?" Then he walked away.


Rudolph pushed Zoey down on the bed and began to kiss her fiercely. He mouth brushed down her neck. Zoey breathed heavily.

"Have you and Arrow ever done anything like this?" he breathed.

"Never." Zoey answered. "This is my first time."

Rudolph raised his eyebrows seductively. "Well, my love, consider it the first of many more."

Zoey smiled lustfully at him before reconnecting lips with him.
