"Jingle bells! Jingle bells!" Carter danced into the lounge as he
spotted Abby on the couch." Hey."
Abby stood up and walked over to the fridge laughing. " Whats up with you? Are you okay, Carter?"
"Christmas is five days away!" He jumped and hugged her.
"Okay, Carter. Your insane." she laughed.
Just then Dr. Lewis poked her head into the door and interrupted their moment in the lounge." Double MVA rolling up.

Carter sighed and put his head down."That was close."
"Yeah." Abby sighed and paused."What are you doing in 20 minutes?"
"I'm....going home to hang up decorations with myself."
"Ha." Abby laughed." How about you come with me to Doc's first and get some coffee.Could spare you a couple less minutes of loneliness"
"Umm." Carter silently contemplated." Sure let me get my stuff." He went to grab his things."Better yet, how about you come with me. Please I don't to do this alone, and plus, we could get some real coffee at my house. Doc's coffee sucks, just the sundaes are good."
"Okay." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * *
Carter and Abby approached the mansion gleaming with lights.
" guess someone beat you to the decorations, Carter."
"Oh no, I get to help with the indoor decorations."
"Ah..." She laughed as he opened the door to a winter wonderland."holy crap Carter!"
"Oh my god, GAMMA! What did she do? GAMMA!"
"Is that you , John?"
"What happened here? This was my job. You killed it."
"Oh john I'm done, but you need to put up the lights on top of the roof. Theyre already up there, just hook them up. I tried to get Alger to do it, but he came down crying like a baby."
Abby couldn't help but laugh at that comment and Carter turned around to lead her back outside to do the lights.
He began to climb the ladder and turned around to reach for Abby.
"Woa" Abby said. "Your going up there?"
"No, WE'RE going up there, come on."
Abby took a deep breath and stuck her hand out as he pulled her up and they climbed to the roof.
"Whoo" Carter breathed into his gloves sliding to a steady spot next to Abby.
"Wow." She said looking out over the side and into the city." It's so pretty, you know, being on the hill where you can see the whole city.
"Yeah." he paused."I usually come and sleep up here during the summer or if I want to be alone. You know, come to think of it, I've never bought anyone up here with me."
"I feel so special" She said sarcastically and looking at him.
"You are." He said oh so seriously and leaned in and lightly kissed her lips.
"Don't do this." She pulled away.
"Do what?"
"Just...pretend this never happened please." She said as she scrambled to get off the roof.
"Abby I-"
" Just, leave it alone, Carter" She said climbing down the ladder.
"Be careful!" he said looking down.
" Don't help me!"
Abby stood up and walked over to the fridge laughing. " Whats up with you? Are you okay, Carter?"
"Christmas is five days away!" He jumped and hugged her.
