Hi everyone! Thanks for all of the reviews! I know originally I said that I'd do a story on Tyler and Katie making gingerbread cookies, but as I was writing it, I felt no passion or excitement for the story. So I changed it to NoahxLindsay, which is slowly starting to grow on me. (It's still not as good as NoahxCourtney or TrentxLindsay, but that's just my opinion.) Sorry if you were looking forward to TxK, I promise that you won't go without seeing Tyler for long (see end of chapter)

Summary: Noah and Lindsay take out ornaments, and remember the times that they got them together.

Pairing: NoahxLindsay

Day: December 21

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

In Lindsay's opinion, there were so many things to love about Christmas. The music, the TV shows, the cute short people in the green costumes. But if there was one thing that Lindsay loved more than anything, it was decorating the Christmas tree. And who better to do it with then her boyfriend, Noah. Granted, most people already had their tree up by now. However, Noah was too lazy, and Lindsay was too dumb. Therefore, they were putting up and decorating their tree four days before Christmas.

"Nathan! I could use some real man power up here!" Lindsay yelled, trying to haul down the boxes of ornaments. Noah, who was sitting in a chair reading a book, glanced up at her briefly.

"Why? You're doing such a good job by yourself. How many boxes is that again? One?" He smirked. Lindsay, however, didn't understand the sarcasm.

"Actually, it's four," Lindsay said, looking very proud of herself. "I got the others down while you were at the grocery store."

"Good job. You risked breaking a nail for the spirit of the holidays."

"Oh my gosh, I broke a nail?"

Noah rolled his eyes, and returned to his book. While it was easy to be frustrated by Lindsay, she was just too naive and innocent for him to truly get mad at her. And though some of his buddies on RuneScape mocked him, he truly did care for the blonde bombshell. Hey, if she couldn't remember his name, why should he remember hers?

...

A few minutes later, Lindsay had managed to get Noah off of the couch, and now they were kneeling in front of the tree, carefully removing ornaments from the cardboard boxes.

"Look Nate! It's the ornament we got when we went to Disney World!" Lindsay held up a red, jingly ornament in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head. Noah grimaced.

"Oh yeah, I remember. What a fond memory..."

"Oh my gosh, it's Minnie Mouse! I always wanted to meet Minnie Mouse!" Lindsay squealed. Courtesy of her boyfriend's wallet, she was decked out in Walt Disney World apparel, including hat, socks, shirt, and bandanna. Aforementioned boyfriend, however, was not feeling the same joy. Happiest place on earth his ass.

"You do realize that's a person in a cheap costume, right?" He muttered, for some reason not wanting to ruin Lindsay's excitement. "Can we go back to the hotel now? There's a documentary on watching paint dry that I'd rather see than be here."

Lindsay, of course, thought he was being serious. "Okay. Can we just get one more thing?"

Noah groaned. "For the last time, I can't buy It's a Small World for you, nor do I want to."

"Not that, silly." Lindsay picked up a small bell-like object from the bin of souvenirs from hell.

"What the hell is that?"

"It's a Christmas ornament! So we could remember this trip forever!" Lindsay cheered, skipping towards the register.

"Goody." Noah muttered, but he followed her anyway, pulling out his wallet yet again.

"Oh my gosh, that trip was so much fun!" Lindsay said, pulling Noah out of his memory. Thank God.

"Um, yeah, good times." Noah smiled weakly. "Hey, what about this one? Remember when we got this?"

He pulled a little Yoda ornament out of the box. Lindsay sighed.

"Yeah, I remember that. I so wish I didn't..."

"Are you sure this'll be fun?" Lindsay asked, looking around the convention hall. "I don't see Edward Cullen. Where is he?"

"I'm sure he's just late. You know those vampires, they like to stop at McDonald's before every big event." Noah said in a deadpanned and distracted way, adjusting his lightsaber. Granted, Lindsay probably wouldn't have any fun at a Star Wars convention, but she owed him for Disney World. Not to mention the fashion show. And the mall trips with her friends. Damn, he was whipped.

"Ohhh, right! I hope he gets here soon; all these boys keep staring at my chest, and I feel like I have donuts on my head."

Noah snorted. "Just don't look any of them in the eye and you'll be fine. Come on, they're about to put the merchandise out."

"What's a merch-" Lindsay began to ask, but Noah pulled her into the crowded room before she could finish.

They wandered around for a few minutes, browsing. Well, Noah browsed. Lindsay, afraid of getting lost, clutched to his arm. Noah had to mentally remind himself to focus on shopping instead of her hand on his arm.

"Hey Linds, what about this for our Christmas tree?" Noah asked, holding up an ornament of Yoda dressed as Santa. Lindsay cringed.

"Um, yeah! Totally, totally great."

"Ah, good times." Noah smiled almost mockingly.

"Yeah. It was a real blast."

Noah froze, not believing his ears. "Wait a minute. Did you just use sarcasm?"

Lindsay twirled her hair nervously. "Was it okay?"

Noah smiled, taking her hair off of her finger. "It was great. Now we can show you off at the next Star Wars convention."

Lindsay slapped his arm, then leaned him to give him a passionate kiss. When she broke away, she whispered:

"Merry Christmas... Noah."

"Merry Christmas... Princess Leia."

Noah slept on the couch that night. At least he had the comfort of the Christmas tree, and the little Mickey Mouse ornament that seemed to jingle even when nothing moved it, which was scientifically impossible.

Someone down in hell was definately out to get him. It was probably Minnie Mouse.

Just so you now, I got the Yoda idea from my science teacher, who has a figurine of Yoda dressed as Santa on her desk. It creeps me out, kinda like Lindsay.

Tomorrow: Tyler, Gwen, and winter sports.
