Title: It's Christmas time in Arlington
Summary: An alternative universe, short story, which takes place around Christmas time.
Authors Note: I don't really know if it snows in Arlington, so I am just going to pretend that it does.
Note: Sorry about the short story (that might have some weird parts in it.) I will, hopefully, have a longer story up one of these days.
Later that night...
Amanda was on her way to the office party when she started to think.
Amanda: Was Lee really going to kiss me? But we were under the mistletoe, so he had too, but he said that he wanted too. Maybe he was just teasing me. (Just then a car was beeping at her to get moving and Amanda was pulled away from her own thoughts.)
Meanwhile...
Not too far away Lee was thinking about the same thing.
Lee was in his office sitting at his desk: What was I doing? Maybe she didn't want me to kiss her; she did say that I didn't have too. But I could see it in her eyes. She wanted it as much as I did. Oh, I don't know. (He ran his hand threw his hair and started to bang his head against his desk.)
Just then there was a knock at his door. Lee stopped banging his head and said: Come in.
Francine entered: Lee, the party is ready to begin. Just thought you'd like to know.
Lee: Thanks, I'll be right down. (Francine smiled and left.)
Lee got up, grabbed his coat and walked down the hallway.
Amanda entered the I.F.F. building just as Lee was walking down the stairs.
Amanda: Lee. (She said with a smile.)
Lee: Hi Amanda. (He smiled back.)
Amanda: Sorry I'm late.
Lee: No problem I was just heading down myself.
Amanda: Oh. (They entered the elevator and made their way down.)
They soon reached the bullpen the doors were already opened and Lee and Amanda stood under the door way again.
Lee: (Not really wanting to go in there.) Amanda you want to go out and get some coffee or something to eat?
Amanda: What about the party?
Lee: Oh, these things get boring quite quickly and plus they don't know that we are even here, so they won't even miss us.
Before Amanda could say anything Francine said: You two look very cozy standing there. (She said with a devilish smile.)
Amanda: Excuse me?
Francine pointed to something that was above their head.
Lee and Amanda looked at each other and then looked up.
Amanda: (Very quietly.) Oh my gosh.
Francine: Come on guys, you know the rules. You guys stand under the mistletoe you guys kiss.
Lee: Francine...
Everyone in the bullpen started chanting: Kiss. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.
Lee didn't know what else to do and he didn't think that a little kiss couldn't hurt. So he turned towards Amanda and gave her a light peck on the lips and he quickly moved away.
A few people: Come on you call that a kiss.
One guy (apparently drunk): The Scarecrow's losing his touch!!
Something inside of Lee snapped. Before he knew what he was doing he grabbed Amanda's waist, pulled her close and kissed her gently.
Same guy (who is apparently still drunk): Now that's a kiss.
Lee never let go of Amanda. The next thing that Amanda knew was that she was placing her arms around Lee's neck, deepening the kiss, and she was running her fingers in his hair.
Billy looked out his office window wondering why the party went so quiet. When he saw what everyone was looking at he left his office.
Billy opened the door and asked the guy standing there: So how long has this been going on for?
Guy standing there: About 15 seconds, more or less.
Billy: (Walked a little closer to Lee and Amanda.) Scarecrow? (Nothing.) Scarecrow!? (Still nothing.)
Everyone: SCARECROW!!! (Lee and Amanda pulled away from one another.)
Billy: What's going on here?
Lee: (Taking a second to catch his breath.) Nothing... Mistletoe.
Billy: Ah, I see.
Amanda: (She couldn't seem to catch her breath.) I... (Pointed upwards.) upstairs... one minute. (And she walked away and got on to the elevator.)
The party continued as if nothing happened. Billy and Lee walked out into the hallway.
Billy: Lee, what were you doing?
Lee: There was mistletoe, Amanda and I were under it by accident, someone noticed it, and so I kissed her. And now I think I screwed everything up! (He hit the wall, not too hard.)
Billy: Then why don't you go up there and talk to her?
Lee: I will. (And he got on the elevator.)
Meanwhile...
Amanda reached the Q-Bureau.
Amanda: He kissed me. (She smiled.) Wait a minute it wasn't a really kiss! It was just a kiss. That's what Lee said at least. Well what else was he supposed to say in front of every one? (She sat down at Lee's desk and put her head down.)
Lee soon entered the room and saw Amanda there at his desk. He quietly shut the door and walked over to her.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear: Amanda.
Amanda shot up: Lee? Hi! What are you doing here?
Lee: I was about to ask you the same question. (Before Amanda could say a word Lee said: ). I came here to apologize. I'm sorry for what happened down there.
Amanda: No problem Lee. It was just a kiss Lee.
Lee: (Sitting down on the desk and taking Amanda's hand.) It's not that Amanda. I wanted our first real kiss to be memorable, romantic, a spur of the moment kind of thing.
Amanda: Lee, really it's... Our first WHAT?!
Lee: (He thought to himself.) What did I do, I screwed everything up. (Out loud.) Um... maybe I better be going. (He let go of her hand and stood up.) Have a nice Christmas. (And he walks towards the door.)
Amanda: (Got up and she knew she said the wrong thing at the wrong time. She went after Lee. Just as Lee opened the door, Amanda ran to him and closed the door.) Lee, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like that. I was just a little shocked. I have been dreaming so long that... that one day you would actually hold me in your arms, (and as she said that he did just that. He put his arms around her and held her.) and just (he looked into her eyes, and started to lean forward.) kiss me. (And he did so.)
After a few moments Lee broke the kiss, but still held her in his arms: Like that? (He smiled.)
Amanda: Exactly like that. (She smiled back.)
Lee: You know, Mrs. King, you still owe me that kiss from before.
Amanda: That I do Scarecrow, that I do. (As they started to lean forward again they heard voices.)
Lee: (Putting his head up.) Someone's coming.
Amanda: (Removing one hand from around Lee's neck and locking the door.) Who cares? (She moved his head down towards hers and kissed him yet again.)
The End.
