Disclaimer: Don't own nothing not even Rhade(Pouting)

AN: I've found fanfiction featuring Rhade paired with everyone except Rommie. Unless I missed one somewhere I know it's not Christmas yet but the idea just came to me.

What a puzzling holiday.

Telemacus Rhade felt that thought go through his mind as he watched the halls of Andromeda bustle with activity. Christmas was a human holiday but the non human crew members seemed to like it as well.

He watched Dylan and Beka standing under a door way and look up at something hanging over the doorway; it looked like a tiny green thing. Then they looked at each other and kissed. Were they under a spell of some kind?

After Dylan had gone off, Rhade went up to Beka, "Weird traditions this Christmas."

Beka smiled a rare truly happy smile. "It's my favorite holiday, where for one moment everything seems right."

She's under a spell all right. "Nothing is ever perfect in the universe."

Beka smiled, "Rhade I got a new name for you Ebenezer Rhade."

"Is that a slur?"

She shook her head, "Look up the name Ebenezer Scrooge."

Rhade was relieved when he finally left the room and went to his quarters and did some research. He was being compared to a fictional character, someone who didn't appreciate the holiday.

Humans, you couldn't understand him and you couldn't kill all of them either. Just then Dylan's voice came over the comm., "Rhade are you coming?"

Rhade sighed and went to the mess hall; Harper held a glass with something white in it and seemed out of it. Dylan and Beka as usual seemed glued against each other. They would be married on New Year's Day.

Trance was trying to get the drink away from Harper and Rommie came up to him, "Hello Rhade."

"Hello Rommie."

She looked up, "You're under the mistletoe."

Before Rhade could respond, Rommie had her lips on his. He felt a jolt go through him. Was it shock? No it felt like lightning.

She soon released him, "Under the mistletoe?" He asked.

"A tradition that I'll let you discover what it means."

Rhade watched her walk off, he would definitely find out what this meant. As he looked at her he realized he never noticed how beautiful she was. Before this night was over he'd get another kiss out of her.

AN: Want me to continue? When I originally thought this story up, it was going to be a Beka/Rhade piece but as time went on, I decided I wanted Rommie and Rhade to be my pairing.
