"Turkey Day" Fan fiction
By: Amy C. AKA Chewychewy13
DISCLAIMER: "ER," and nothing else
that has to do with this fan fiction, doesn't belong
to me. I'm not making a profit or anything
like that. This is only being used for
Entertainment purposes. Some parts were actually taken from the
actual episode of ER entitled: "Rescue Me" Which doesn't belong to me
either. Very few parts were actually
taken from the actual show; I made up most parts.
NOTE: This is just something I wrote for
fun. It is supposed to take place on
Thanksgiving. Some parts were put in
there for my friends, and I, just ignore those, please.
THANK YOUS: Thank you to those of you who are

[It was early in the morning
on Thanksgiving Day. There weren't too
many traumas, but just one bigger one.
It was a person involved in a car accident. In trauma one, Dr. Corday, Dr. Greene, and Dr. Malucci were
handling it.]
Mark: Okay, suction. Heart rate
is normal, but we need to put a chest tube in.
Corday: Uh...OK, I can't seem to handle that!.....hmm..
Mark: Something wrong?
[Corday rushes out of the
trauma room]
Malucci: Hey, if she's not going do it, can I?
[Scene: Front Desk, Luka,
Abby, and Carter are there]
Abby: I don't know what I'm going to do about my mother, as long as
she's back on her meds, I think she should be all right going back to Florida.
Carter: C'mon, it's Thanksgiving, Abby; let her stay for a while.
Luka: We already have plans, but I suppose her mom coming wouldn't be
so terrible.
Abby: No Luka, once she comes for Thanksgiving,
she'll have to stay for Christmas and New Year's, then her birthday and then
Valentines Day and then Easter, and Thanksgiving again! I just can't handle her!!
Luka: Well, I have a few patients to see. I'll see you later, Abby.
Carter: Well, if you want, I can host Thanksgiving at my place and you,
your mother, and Luka can come along.
Abby: I don't know.... I have to see a patient.
Carter: It was just a suggestion.
[Scene: Abby treating a
drunk]
Drunk: and the wild turkey that I
saw was that big!!
[Drunk motions with his
hands, then lights a smoke]
Abby: Hey, you can't smoke in the hospital, put that out!!
[The cigarette falls with
out being put out onto the drunk's clothes, which are full of alcohol. The whole room starts on fire, Abby falling
unconscious.]
[Scene: Mark seeing a doctor about his recurring
headaches]
Doctor: The CAT scan shows that uh...uh a small tumor, a brain tumor.
Mark: A brain tumor?? Is it treatable?
I'm supposed to get married in a few months...
Doctor: We'll have to do further tests.
[Scene: Carter is standing
in the hall, treating a patient, when he notices the flames coming out of the
exam room.]
Carter: Abby!! Abby, are you in there??
[Carter rushes into the room
willing to risk his life to save his dear friend Abby Lockhart]
[Carter finds Abby
unconscious lying on the floor. He
picks her up and puts her on a bed in a safe area, as Abby regains
consciousness.]
Abby: What happened? Carter?
Carter: All right, Abby, where does it hurt?
Abby: In my chest...
Carter: Okay, you should be fine, but I want you to lie down and I'll send
you to x-ray in a little while.
Abby: Um.... OK, thanks.
Really, thank you John.
Carter: Your welcome, now you
should get your rest for a while, and I'll be back in a little bit.
[Scene: Elizabeth sitting on
a bed in an exam room, looking rather nervous, then Chen enters.]
Elizabeth: Chen I don't think that this is necessary, I'm actually feeling
much better now. It's probably
something from skipping breakfast and lunch.
Chen: Well, it is necessary, because maybe something possessed you to
skip breakfast and lunch, and nearly get sick on a patient in the trauma room.
Elizabeth: Um..ok, but I can't be pregnant, I just had my period.
Chen: Hmm...that was break through bleeding.
Elizabeth: What??
Chen: You're pregnant.
Elizabeth [with a shocked expression
on her face]: That's impossible.
Chen [looking at the test sample
with a huge smile on her face.] Really??!!
Elizabeth: Well technically its possible, but its not for me.
Chen: Its OK, just lie back and I'll do an ultra sound to see how far
along you are.
[Scene: Carter with Abby in the exam room.]
Carter: Well, I got the x-rays back; you didn't break any ribs, so that's
good.
Abby: Yeah, so I can go now?
Carter: Yeah I'm sure you can, so you still wanna come to my place for
Thanksgiving?
Abby: Oh, um, yeah, sure why
not.
Carter: Yeah, I honey roast my turkey, it's really great. I got that idea from Gamma.
Abby: Uh, huh. Sounds
different, but I guess I'll try it, thanks for the invite.
Carter: Yeah, no problem.
[In the background, you can
her a woman probably in her 50's or 60's screaming for an Abby]
Abby: Oh no, oh no!!!! John,
that's my mother! She screams and acts
like that because she's bipolar. I was
expecting her to show up somewhere, she usually does that when she can get away
from my brothers, and when she can get her hands on money.
Carter: Oh. Well, maybe if we can
get a psych consult down here, they can help her.
Abby: What's the use, she'll
just not pay any attention to them, and even if she gets some new meds that are
supposed to work miracles, she just won't take them.
Carter: I have a feeling we could find some way.
Abby: John, you've been so nice to me.
Carter: Well, you really saved my life.
You know, getting help for me when you saw me injecting drugs into my
wrist. I was a jerk to you then, and
being this nice to you now is nearly not enough to show my thanks. Anyway, no one else really calls me John; I
almost forgot that that was my first name!!
Abby: Well, I saw a friend who needed help, so I just went out and did
what had to be done. I guess that's the
type of person I am. And John is your name;
I just think that you look like a John.
Sometimes I call you Carter, though, because it just comes to mind.
[Carter leaves, and Luka
enters]
Luka: Abby what happened?
Abby: The room started on fire, if you noticed.
Luka: I'm real sorry; I had to take care of all of those patients. Kerry's off today, so there are a few more
things for me, an attending, to do.
Abby: Um..ok.
Luka: Abby, I know this is a very, very wrong time, but I think we
haven't been seeing much of each other lately, so....
Abby: Do you want me to finish that sentence for you, because I know where
its getting to anyway, because I know exactly what you mean.
Abby and Luka together: I think we should both see other people, but
maybe still be friends.
Luka: Yeah, as long as you
understand what I mean.
Abby: Yeah, I do. I'm sorry and
I'll probably see you around.
Luka: So, you still don't want to come to my place for
Thanksgiving? Of course, you still can.
Abby: Um..I don't think that that would be such a good idea, sorry to
turn your offer down.
Luka [talking mostly to himself]: That's fine. Gotta go now, Nsync's on TRL, yay!! Bye Bye Bye!!! My
favorite is Kevin, no wait, he's with 98 degrees, I think. That Carson is just so silly!! Sometimes I wish that they had boy bands in
Croatia when I was at the boy band age.
Oh well, I can always try my luck at Say What Karaoke. Does anyone know if Britney Spears has an
older sister?
[Luka then bumps in to a few
IV stands out in the hall loses his balance and trips out the ER doors.]
{Thought inside Abby's
head: I picked a great one: John
Carter, I think I'll go to his place.
He's very attractive, sweet, and mature. Luka on the other hand, is somewhat immature, can be a jerk
sometimes, and only sort of cute. I'll
definitely be fine!!}
[Scene: At Mark and
Elizabeth's house, Mark is there, preparing Thanksgiving Dinner, and Elizabeth
comes home from work.]
Elizabeth (Noticeably happy now):
Hey!
Mark: Hi, how was work?
Elizabeth: It was great, but you know, the usual. Do you want me to help you with the salad?
Mark: Sure. I'm sautéing the
vegetables right now. As you notice,
this isn't a traditional Thanksgiving.
Elizabeth: It makes me feel very American.
Mark: Yeah?
Elizabeth: Yeah. Um.... Mark...I
have something to tell you. This is
um... isn't going to be easy so...um.... well I'm just going to say
it..............what the hell! I'm
pregnant!!
{Mark has a priceless
expression on his face, he seems to be excited though.}
Elizabeth [With a hopeful look on her
face]: So, uh, what do you think of all
of this?
Mark: I think it's really great!
Elizabeth: Oh, I love you!
Mark [very slowly]: I love you,
too!
[Scene: Carter's place. He is putting honey on his turkey when the doorbell rings.]
Carter: I'll be right there!
[Carter opens his door to
see Abby]
Carter: Abby!! I'm glad you could come, where's Luka?
Abby: Well, he and I sorta broke up today, because I had been thinking
a lot, and decided it was for the best.
Carter: That's great, I mean, uh, that's too bad....
Abby: Yeah that's all right.
That turkey smells delicious!
Carter: Thanks, It should be done in a about an hour or even maybe
less. Would you like something to drink
while we wait?
Abby: Yes that would be nice.
By the way, I heard your comment under your breath, you know, "That's
great, I mean, uh, that's too bad....".
Carter: Yeah, sorry about that, well I guess its plain and obvious that I
think you're a great friend.
Abby: Carter....that's perfectly fine, besides, I know you wouldn't
seriously say something to hurt anyone.
Carter: Well yeah, you are a great friend, and no I wouldn't.
Abby: You're not so bad yourself.
Carter: So um...where did you grow up?
Abby: In Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Carter: Oh, Minnesota is a great
state, but I don't think I would want to work a different hospital there. I just love Chicago.
Abby: And I think we would all miss you. And you grew up right here in Chicago?
Carter: Yeah, born and raised.
Abby: So are you quite the chef?
Carter: Somewhat, I dabble here and there. I can make a fine German, Italian, and English cuisine, and I
have some of my own recipes. Some might
say that I'm a master chef, why do you ask, anyway?
Abby: Because the turkey is burning.
Carter: Ahhh, Crap!!!!
[Carter runs to the oven,
shuts it off, and pulls the turkey out.
Dark smoke is flowing out of the oven as Carter throws the third degree
burned turkey into the sink.]
Abby: He's gone. Time of death
6:13. I'm very sorry, there's nothing
we could have done.
Carter: Ha, Ha! Very funny!
Abby: We can order a pizza.
Carter: You dig pepperoni?
Abby: Yeah I dig pepperoni, you like it, right?
Carter: Yeah, it's my favorite kind of pizza.
[Carter calls the pizza
place and orders a pizza.]
Abby: How long did they say it'd be?
Carter: Oh, about 20 minutes. You
wanna watch some TV, or something?
Abby: Yeah, that would be fine.
[They sit down in the living
room, and flip through the channels.]
Carter: Well, considering that it's Thanksgiving, there isn't anything
good on TV.
Abby: Yeah....So do you want to talk, or something?
Carter [jokingly]: I'm very confused as to what we've been
doing so far...
Abby: Yeah I know...oh wait; NBC
is having Gotta Watch Television Thanksgiving Thursday night special, we can
check out 'Six Best Pals' in a few minutes.
Carter: Yeah I love Gotta Watch Television, its great! I especially love the show 'Hospital' on at
9, it reminds me so much of my life here at County.
Abby: Really?? That's my favorite show, I watch it every chance I get!!
Carter: We have a lot of things in common, don't we?
Abby: Yeah, I guess we do!
John, I got to tell you, I haven't had this great of a time since I can
last remember.
Carter: Yeah, pretty much the same here, too!
[Carter and Abby each get
closer, and almost kiss, but then the doorbell rings.]
Pizza Girl: Pizza's here!!
Carter: Can you just hang on for one second?
[Carter gets up, gets the
pizza and goes back over to Abby.]
Abby: Wow, you and I almost kissed.......
Carter: I know, you're not mad, are you?
Abby: Yes, very mad!!
Carter: Why, I mean, I'm sorry.
Abby: That's all right. I am
mad, because I didn't want to almost kiss you. I wanted to kiss you!
Carter: Same here!
[As Abby and Carter each
share their first kiss with each other, the screen goes black and the episode
of "Turkey Day" is over.]
THE
END
Thank
you for reading. I'm sorry about some
parts that were actually from ER. I just needed them to help fill it up. And I'm sorry about some other parts that
probably didn't fit, those were just in there to entertain my friends and I
didn't have time to take out. This was
written a few months ago, so it's a little late. Again, thank you for reading this, and please send me positive
reviews.
