Yeah, first one-shot of advent (and it's a songfic: Baby it's Cold Outside, by Frank Lousser) Thank you nancyozz for the inspiration for this story, you are ingenious. And I forgot to mention earlier that I don't own marvel and all that good stuff.

22 days till' X-MAS:

(bold is Tony singing, italics is Pepper.)

Tony's POV

I stood in the kitchen of avengers tower waiting for Pepper to fix her hair and makeup before we could go to the Christmas charity benefit across town. It was nothing fancy so it wasn't like anyone would care if Pepper's mascara was slightly uneven or her hair wasn't straightened enough. I thought she looked gorgeous the way she was.

Anyways, I leaned lazily against the kitchen counter in my simple black suit jacket as I waited for Pepper. It was BORING and Pepper wasn't going to be ready anytime soon. I turned on the radio (that I built and doubled as a donut maker) and it started playing Christmas tunes. My jam.

I hummed along to Little Drummer Boy and a bunch of other random Christmas songs. Then my absolute favorite song came on: Baby it's Cold Outside. Quality song right here. I couldn't help myself, I just had to start singing.

Baby it's cold outside

...

But baby it's cold outside

...

Been hoping that you'd drop by

I admit, I sounded pretty good. But then a suprising thing happend that sounded even better. From the other room I could hear a woman's voice, Pepper's voice, singing along with me. Now I have never heard Pepper sing before, and I didn't suspect her to be so amazing at it, but she was.

Pepper stepped into the kitchen, her beautiful red hair straightened to perfection and her blue backless dress sparkling in the lamp light, as she sang a little louder to my favorite song.

My mother will start to worry

...

My father will be pacing the floor

She was so beautiful. I stepped forwards and grabbed her hands to dance as we continued to sing.

So really I'd better scurry

Beautiful what's your hurry

Maybe just a half a drink more

Put some records on while I pour

We waltzed around the kitchen until the song ended.

Baby it's coolllldddd ouuuutttsiiiiidddde!

It would have been the most amazing ending ever,but unfortunetly, five extra voices unexpectantly joined in, singing the last line in harmony with Pepper and I, at the top of their lungs. I turned quickly to face the doorway which had filled with my fellow avengers all stifling laughs.

Clint started to clap and Natasha quickly joined him. "Beautiful, bravo, bravo." They laughed. "What the hell?!" I responded. "That was marvelous and quite entertaining." Thor added as Pepper's face reddened slightly with embarsement. "Actually it was quite good." Steve said. "Come on guys." I muttered as I shook my head.

Why did they have to ruin this? Uhhhgg, they are so annoying! Then to make matters worse Steve poked Bruce on the shoulder to ask, "What does it mean when it's beeping?" as he looked down at an iPhone. "There's one beep for every like on the video, Steve." Bruce replied. "Wait WHAT?!" I shouted, " what video?". " Oh just the video that I took of you two now, you know, singing and stuff." Clint said with a smug smile. "What?" Pepper yelped. "Wow, you guys already have two thousand likes and it hasn't even been posted for five minutes yet." Clint commented. "Oh god." I shook my head. There goes my ego. "Merry Christmas" Bruce said akwardly trying to lighten the mood. "Yeah," I added, "Merry Christams."
