December 22nd

Abby looked at her (very short) list of names.

Danny

Sarah

She frowned, and then added Becker.

"Connor?"

"Yeah?" Connor answered from the sofa in the main room.

"I've done the list."

"Ok."

"Well, can you phone them then?"

"Me?"

"Yes, you."

Connor groaned. "Abby, I'm in the middle of a game!"

"Pause it or something." Abby could hear explosions coming from the TV sound system.

Connor groaned again. "But…" clearly he had expected Abby to cut him off before he said anything after 'but'.

"But nothing, Connor. Unless you want to write the list of food instead."

"What? Yeah!" Abby smiled at Connor's enthusiasm. That backfired a little.

"No, you can't decide on the food. We'd end up with enough for everyone in the street."

Connor got up and came to the phone. He took the list from Abby. "There's not many people on there, is there?"

"Well no, these are the only people we work with unless you count Lester, and seeing as the only reason we can't actually have a party at the ARC is because he won't let us, I decided not to invite him."

"Yeah, the Scrooge. Umm, we're inviting Becker then?"

"Yeah, I wasn't sure, but I think we're all good enough friends with him.

"Ok, then. Wait, do you know Becker's home phone number?"

"No… Sarah might though."

"Sarah? Why would Sarah have his number?"

"She likes him! Can't you tell?"

"Umm… no."

"Boys," Abby muttered under her breath. Connor started dialling Danny's number into the phone. Abby went into the main room and started making the list of food.

*'*'*'*'*

Becker got a beer from the fridge, popped it open, and walked over to the sofa, removing his shoes before flopping down on it. He was about to take a slurp from the can when the phone rang. He sighed and went to see who it was. The number wasn't programmed into his phone and he didn't recognize it, but it didn't look like a business number so he picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hiya, is that Becker?"

"Is this Connor?"

"Yeah-"

"Where did you get my number from?"

"Sarah gave it to me."

Becker sighed. He would have to have words with her. "What do you want?"

"Me and Abby are going to have a Christmas party because we aren't allowed an office party. Do you want to come?" Becker was pleasantly surprised to have been invited; did this mean he had been fully accepted into the teams' friendship circle?

"Yes, ok then. How should I dress?"

"Uhh…" there was a pause. "Hang on, I'll ask Abby now." Becker heard Connor call to Abby "Becker wants to know what to wear!" Abby shouted something back. "She says to dress casual. I think that means jeans and that…"

"Right, ok, I do know how to dress casual, thanks. When is it?"

"Christmas Eve, 8 till late. You don't have any plans for then, do you?"

"No." Becker hadn't made any plans for the Christmas holidays. What's the point? I could get a call any minute to come and stop some dinosaur savaging the team. "Ok, see you then. Say hi to Abby for me." Becker put the phone down and went back to watching Brit Cops: Zero Tolerance.

AN: So? What do you think? And I'm going to try and update this tomorrow and end it on Christmas Eve, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen =/
