sunstar234: Thanks for the review, acting like a fool is something I feel everyone does when they're alone it's just too much fun not to do!

I don't know if any of you care about the fact that none of my stories match the current holidays, but I'd rather keep the time progression of the story then what's going on around us but if it helps I GOT BUNNIES!

Oh the song she's sing is Ke$ha's 'Boy Like You' no clue why I'm on a Ke$ha kick

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING :(


"God I hate Christmas," Savanna drops her toolbox kicking off her shoes and pulls the hem of her red dress up over her head, to toss on the couch as she walks by leaving her in a pair of red shorts and a green bra. Its Christmas Eve, her apartment is bare of any decoration and she just spent five hours restringing the lights of the tree in the town center. She dumps her body on the couch grabbing a pillow and pulling it up to her chest covering her bra clad upper body. "I don't care make it quick and get out!" Lucas is sitting in the loveseat in the corner head down staring at an open notebook, he does not move. "Lucas." Savanna tentatively reaches out a hand and pokes him softly in the side; his body is burning to the touch and lets out a grown but doesn't pick up his head. "How come every time you need something you just come to me and expect me to help."

She waits a minute but he doesn't answer, doesn't respond, and doesn't even look up. Savanna lets out a sigh then a yawn before getting up and returning with medical supplies from the bathroom and a black baggy shirt. "Lucas now don't think this has to do with anything personal." Savanna peels off his jacket and flannel first before taking the hem of his shirts taking as deep breath and yanking them up over his head pulling it off his arms in one quick violent movement. He lifts his head and looks at her only semi alert. "Oh now that's not a bad bite." The teeth marks in Lucas's side are only a little bigger then Savannas hard with about two dozen little punctures, Lucas looks at her with unfocused eyes. "You know if it wasn't all infected and puss filled."

Savanna takes a warm wet cloth rubbing away the left over dirt and blood before getting a new rag with rubbing alcohol on it. My father will ban you from Terra Nova if he found theses" Savanna looks over at the notebook Lucas still has in his hands, it was one of the ones from her backpack that came with her through the portal but it's filled with his mathematics and diagrams from snakes head falls along with her own calculations about the portal. "You're not even going in the correct direction with these calculations."

"First Commander Taylor would have to figure out what they're for." Savanna adds efficacies on the official title of his father hoping to press a few of his buttons before he presses hers.

"Savanna you're an engineer, stick to being that, an idiot child could fig-" Lucas lets out a hiss as Savanna presses the alcohol soaked cloth heavily against Lucas's wound.

"Oops hand slipped, what were you saying?" Smiling innocently at Lucas she adds more rubbing alcohol to the rag, he looks back takes a moment to weigh his options before closing his mouth. Another minute passes as Savanna rubs away the puss and blood that escapes the wound, before she picks up a bandage spraying it lightly with antibacterial soap and resting it across the bite.

"I was bit by a Cryptovolans (CRIP-toe-VO-lanz) it's a mid-size bird like dinosaur, bit me while I was sleeping probably thinking I was dead."

"So did it flee when you woke up?" Adding another bandage and more tape Savanna stands up gets a glass of water and some Advil handing them to Lucas.

He swallows them quickly gulping down the water until the glass is empty and resting it on the end table. "I'm sure it would have if it got the chance."

Savanna closes her eyes and shakes her head remember the nights she originally spent here eating Nykoraptor. She walks around to his good side picking up his arm and hoisting him up. "Since its Christmas, and only because it's Christmas you can sleep in my bed."

Lucas leans on Savanna heavily, his breaths coming in heavy and labored. Lucas wobbles on his feet, as Savanna leaves him standing next to her bed to grab him a shirt and a pair extra baggy sweat pants. "Well aren't you in a giving mood."

Savanna smiles sweetly handing him his clothes, "Now don't get the wrong idea." Hooking both thumbs between his flesh and boxers Savanna pulls down dropping his pants to his feet, leaning up and pushing him on the bed before grabbing his pants and pulling them off the rest of the way taking his shoes with them and walking out of the room.

Savanna dumps his clothing in the washing machine, does her nightly routine of showering and making a small meal before getting a cold compress for Lucas, he's asleep when she places it on his forehead.

It's a buzzing that wakes Savanna, "you're supposed to be off!" she screams trying to slam down the invisible alarm only to fall off the couch. The buzzing occurs again and Savanna immediately wakes up swinging her head to her closed bedroom door before swinging it to the front door color draining from her face. "Please don't let that be Taylor." She takes a deep breath before opening the door.

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas-"

"OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU." its children about eight of them dressed in scarves and knit hats despite Terra Nova's permanently warm weather, and the relief Savanna felt was wonderful. She lets them finish there song dropping a few terras in their cup and wishing them a Merry Christmas as the moved on to the next house.

"You're so, you're so beautiful and dangerous, hot and cold don't you see the light boy? I could blow your mind boy; let me be your new toy." Savanna swung her hips singing lightly to the music while making French toast, clad in the clothes she slept in and a Santa hat. Nodding her head to the music she slides the breakfast food onto a plate surrounded by print outs of different physics problems and notes of both her and Lucas's creation before turning back to her old physics book next to the stove and adding another slice of bread to the frying pan. This had become her normal morning routine dancing to obnoxiously happy music and doing as much inter-dimensional physics her brain could wrap around "Got me lost, got me hooked, yeah I'm so confused; was this all part of your plan? I don't really understand."

"This is why you won't turn me in." Savanna waves over her shoulder ignoring Lucas as he takes his seat; his fever would have subsided enough by now for him to function and she was actually excepting him.

"It's just a song from my world." She continues to cook as he pulls the notebook he was looking at last night along with a pen over to him. Lucas is also dressed in the clothes he slept hair tousled slightly from sleep

Savanna spins around at the stove pot in hand and dances over slightly to Lucas sliding the piece of French toast onto his plate, he doesn't look up from the notes of hers he's correcting. "You haven't the slightest clue what you're doing, all this science comes from comic books and syfy propaganda in your world, I'm sure the eye helps you a lot but it's still blind guessing on your part."

Pouring syrup on her French toast Savanna cuts a piece chews and swallows before answering. "So you're saying I need you, for your oh so special intelligence and science knowhow?"

"As long as you want to get home you do." Lucas looks up from her notes, Savannas eating quietly looking at him studying him even. "Savanna you've distanced yourself, your two closes friends are men double your age that are your employer and a bar tender; you've kept secrets from the great commander and have not had anyone come close enough to affect you in the least. This isn't you're home and you know it."

"What do you want me to say?" Lucas is quite this time staring at Savanna studying her moves. "That I'm so much stupider then you and without you I'm stuck in this time? well its true Lucas, it's fucking true I can't figure out how to open the wormhole myself but I know you'll accomplish it; but it's to your time not MINE because you don't give a damn about where I'm from."

Lucas takes a bite of his French toast, tossing it around his mouth before swallowing much like he tosses her words around his mind. "You don't know if that's true."

"Lucas it's cute that we play this little cat and mouse game but the only thing the cat helps the mouse with, is to its grave." Lucas takes a few more bites of his meal enjoying rare tastes.

"Isn't it bad to view yourself as a mouse?"

"Clearly you've never seen Tom and Jerry." Savanna picks up her plate placing it in the sink before collecting her books off the table. "I just need you alive to open it, hopefully then I can manipulate the results." She places a kiss on Lucas's cheek lightly and quickly straightens before he knows what's going on. "Merry Christmas Jerk."

Lucas was gone by the time Savanna got back to her house, she had even gathered him so supplies, because when she let herself think about it, when her mind wandered in the late night or in a spare moment she did need him. "I think I need another drink." Savanna tips back the bottle of whiskey Boylan had given her for Christmas, taking a healthy swing of it. Her legs swung back and forth in a steady rhythm as she overlooked the falls, it was a beautiful sight and worth the half a day hike it took to get out here, even if it meant she had to spend the night in the jungle in order not to be traveling during nightfall. "This is Slasher territory you know?"

"Considering the thing I'm trying to meet is much more dangerous than a Slasher I'll take my chances." Savanna turns offers Lucas a small smile and holds up the bottle. "I figure since we've spent every other holiday together this year we might as well spend the last one together."

Happiness flickers through Lucas's eyes but he quickly conceals it. "So you want to start the New Year off with the man that destroyed your life?" Savanna doesn't respond not dignifying him with an answer instead she produces two glasses from her pack and pours a shot before handing it to him.

"How about to new beginnings with the man whose life is as fucked up as mine." She offers him a crooked smile, her stomach doing flips, every reason for coming here in the first place conflicting with one another in her mind.

He smiles back; an actual smile and takes the glass clinking it against hers before swallowing it down effortlessly. Within seconds he's on her hands roaming up and down her body. It's been several months since he's had close human contact and his whole body aches for it craves her skin against his. Lucas would never admit it but Savanna has been his ground these past months in the jungle, without her he would have descended into the madness of trying to avenge his mother, trying take down Terra Nova and to finally kill his father. With her on his mind he had something solid to focus on, to retreat back to when nights got bad. When their lips meet his tongue darts between them before her shock can wear off. "It really isn't safe here though." Lucas pulls away only slightly so he can still smell her still feel her body heat, but Savanna can't answer her eyes are too big filled with surprise, her mind trying to catch up and wrap around the events she has put herself in.

They don't get far before Lucas's hand runs up her back resting on her neck he can feel her shiver with anticipation, no stranger to the carnal knowledge that he intends to in act with her. Savanna can't help the thoughts in her head, she's pushed them off for so long now that they bubble to the surface overwhelming her common scenes. She can't say no she's not sure she wants to truthfully so she lets Lucas guide her along further down the falls over the embankment, they really don't get far before he's on her again there not even half a click away. He pushes her back against a tree his hands exploring up under her dress memorizing her contours the raised skin of the tattoo and the softness of the skin, he wouldn't stop not until Savanna said the words but hopefully not until she was panting screaming his name. Lucas's erection presses hard against her inner thigh and Savanna can almost taste the desire coming from him it's contagious a small moan escapes between her lips before she can catch herself and a blush spreads across her cheeks. There's a glitter in his eyes as his erection grows even harder she shouldn't be doing this but it's been a long time since she had sex, a few months before she came to Terra Nova and her body wants this craves his touch desires his erect penis inside her filling her to the brim but she knows she has to stop this that's it's a tipping point and there's no quite going back.

"Lucas," it comes out breathy and light filled with lust not strong and halting like she planned it to be. Lucas doesn't respond he's just looking in her eyes as his hand travels down her stomach and slips inside the hem of her panties. "Luc-" his finger slips inside her cutting off all thought to her brain, a gasp leaves her mouth it just feels too good. He moves his hand back and forth slowly opening her up slightly before slipping another finger in her, another moan escapes her lips louder this time. Savanna's shaky hands reach for his shirt unbuttoning the few buttons still attached to it before they slide to his belt buckle.

Savannas arms stretch over her head legs push out popping the muscles of her back, she's happy for some reason it just bubbles up from her core relaxing her body making her giddy. "Good morning." Scruffy lips whisper against her ear making her smile stupidly.

In an instant Savanna sits bolt right up looking around her surroundings. Mathematic equations and physic problems cover the walls "Oh no, no, no, I can't be here." Standing up taking the covers with her she goes to the window looking out "I'm not in Kansas anymore."

"I don't believe you have been for a while now." Savanna turns towards Lucas he's laying leisurely on the bed studying her, naked.

"I have a job, people expect me home were far away, it's raining." Savanna's eyes are big with shock, bigger then Lucas remembers ever seeing them as she stairs back at him. "I can't get home."

"Then come back to bed." He knows it's not going to be that easy, Savanna was different last night, giddy with alcohol and the passing of a new year not caring about the next day or any other after that just happy for the moment but the holiday had now officially passed and like with most people reality was setting in.

"People are going to notice."
