Gotta Be Somebody
Fanfic
White Christmas, Chapter 10
Author's Note: please ignore that "Stolen" ever happened. I decided to not complicate things by adding that storyline in, so just read on from here. Thanks to mjels for all of the fantastic reviews, and read on!
Amy gasped. Standing in front of the large window in the break room, her eyes marveled at the first snow sight of the year. This was an entirely new experience for her, growing up in Phoenix, and she had to share it with someone.
She ran down the hall at full speed easily because of her checkered converse. Sheldon and Mac parted as she raced between them.
"Slow down!" Mac yelled at her as loud as he could, forcefully.
Ignoring Mac, she ran into the coroner's office and whipped her head around.
"Sid!" She shouted.
Sid was startled by her entrance. He jumped a little, showering the office with papers and folders. He sighed heavily and turned around. "Yes?"
"Have you seen my brother?" Amy asked impatiently.
"Not recently."
"Ok Thanks!" She ran to the opposite end of the hall, leaving Sid to pick everything up.
Stella was startled as the sight of the lanky teenager running full speed towards the kitchen in skinny jeans, converse, a shrug sweater and a tank top. Flack was pouring them coffee when Amy tapped loudly on the door, causing him to spill the coffee on his shirt and tie.
"Where's Adam?"
"Geezes kid, its 9:00 AM. Can you be any louder?" Don remarked at her voice volume.
"Sure I can, and I would, but I need to find Adam now. Where is he?"
"In the tech lab with Kendall. Why?" Stella calmly replied, trying not to laugh at Flack grimacing at the coffee stains present on his shirt.
"Tell you later. Thanks!" She took off, her hair and sweater flying everywhere.

Kendall pecked her boyfriend on the cheek and sat down next to him. "Whatcha looking at?"
"Video footage from yesterday's robbery down on 5th." Adam replied, pausing the video to kiss his girlfriend back. Giggling, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his nose, her favorite part of his face. Other than his eyes, of course, which always looked so sweet and innocent, like his smile, another thing she adored about him.
Before anything could actually happen, Adam's sister Amy ran in and jumped up and down. "Adam!"
"What?" He sighed, turning around.
"You have to come with me right now. You too, Kendall."
"Um okay." The lab techs replied at the same time. They giggled and looked at each other longingly.
"Come on! There's no time to be lovey dovey!" She pulled on the sleeve of Adam's shirt and yanked him out of his seat. He grabbed Kendall's hand before Amy could run out the door with the two of them in tow.
She pulled them past the kitchen, attracting the attention of Stella and the still coffee-soiled Flack. They looked at each other and nodded before setting down their coffee and followed the trio.
Amy made a screeching halt with her feet before dragging Adam and Kendall into the break room and to the largest window where she stood not five minutes ago.
"Look Adam!" She pointed to the snow fall and tugged on his shirt at the same time.
"You dragged me out of the lab for snow? What's so special about snow?" He scoffed. Before turning to Kendall, he noticed the sparkle in her eyes and the smile plastered on her face like a neon sign. It finally clicked inside of him.
"OH, I get it now." Besides it being the first snow of the year, it was Amy's first snow in New York, not to mention her first snow ever!
"What's up with the snow?" Kendal asked.
"Yeah, why's it so important?" Stella wondered out loud.
"It's her first now ever." Adam whispered while his sister intensely stared outside.
"How can it be her first snow ever? She lives in New York City, for crying out loud!" Don remarked.
No one answered immediately, so everyone watched the snow fall for a few minutes. When Stella and Flack turned to leave, Amy spoke up.
"I've never left Phoenix, even for vacation, we stayed home all the time, except for one time when we went to Disney when I was six. I've never left the south."
Everyone was shocked. She hadn't said anything for at least ten minutes, and she didn't talk about herself much, just Adam. Don was especially surprised at the first snow thing. He grew up in New York, so he couldn't understand how she'd had had Christmas and New Year's without snow and be okay. You can't miss what you never had, he thought, remembering the old saying his mother often said around the house.
Kendall held Adam's hand as they watched the first snowfall together. She smiled and looked at him affectionately. "What do you think of kisses in the snow?"
He looked at her and, as if she told him telepathically what she wanted, he took her down the hallway and into the staircase.
"Where are we going?" She asked as they headed upstairs.
"You'll see." Adam whispered as they passed the eight and final floor.
He held the door open for her like a gentlemen when they reached the top. She walked out and looked up at the sky.
"It's even more beautiful outside." Kendall marveled. Before she could turn around, Adam had her in his arms, swung her around, and planted a soft kiss on her lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he put one of his hands on her hip and the other one in her hair, twirling it slightly like she did when she was nervous.
Adam knew it was a bad idea to abandon his sister and make out with his girlfriend on the roof, but she needed time to experience the snow by herself. And besides, kisses during the year's first snow were magical, at least to him.
