I really can't stay -
Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away -
Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been -
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice -
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
End Song part
Sam arrived home in a few minutes. She hadn't worried about tickets. She'd ordered them a month ago. But it was neat to be online at the same time the tickets go online.
She collapsed on her bed, closing her eyes. Normally, around this time, her and Danny would be....Skating, dancing, making cookies with Tucker during a storm. She loved it. Every year, they'd do all the Christmassy stuff they could. Now, everything was differerent.
She remembered last year---Last year. It was so fun...
Poor Tuck had been sick. He hadn't been able to come over.
So it was just Sam and Danny. They where going to make Chocolate Chip Raisen cookies and bring them over to Tucker when the storm cleared in the morning.
My mother will start to worry -
Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor -
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry -
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well Maybe just a half a drink more -
Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think -
Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink -
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how -
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
- I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
End Song part. Enter da Flashback.
Sam pulled the steaming tray out of the oven, grinning from ear to ear. The oven mitts read, "Cookie Monster" with a picture of the muppets character surrounded by cookies on them. They where her mothers when she was her age, and she'd always found it odd her mother hadn't kept any real keepsakes, but she'd kept oven mitts. She'd shrugged it off. Her mother was kinda weird sometimes.
She put the tray down on the table and turned to sit on the couch. And our halfa hero advanced on the chocolate/healthy chocolate delights at that moment, reaching out to them.
"DON'T you touch them, Danny," She snapped quickly, knowing his motive for moving towards the kitchen counter.
"Touch what? I was just--"
"Right. Don't do it." Sam dissapeared into the living room.
Danny was pretty dense at times. The gooey, chocolate-raisen filling had a desierable aroma that filled his nose and made him think of winter. They made these cookies every year by Grandma Fentons' ancient recipe. They also made a hot chocolate, using Tuckers Aunts' recipe, and Sam? Well, she hosted the whole thing. She had no relatives who really cooked. But she could whip up a mean fruit salad.
All these goodies combined in a mesh of snacks and drink during their usual four hour movie marathon.
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
- Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried -
What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay
- Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been -
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm --
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
End song part. Continue FLASHBACK
She sat on the couch, when all the sudden Danny had let out a scream.
Yet Sam didn't move.
"HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!" Danny screeched, jumping up at down and waving his finger. "THAT HURT!!!"
Sam looked up barley, shaking her head.
"I told you not to touch the cookies!" She snapped from the living room. "Well, now we know, don't we?"
"Yes imom/," Danny answered glumly. He got out a soda can as the burning faded into a numb pain, and tossed it to Sam. He jumped on the couch and grabbed the clicker.
"Okay. Snacks?"
"Check."
"Popcorn?"
"Counts as a snack."
"Snacks?"
"CHECK."
"Soda?"
"Check."
"Two Movies?"
"In the CD rotator."
"Soda?"
"You said soda."
"Right. Snacks--"
"Danny! Thats the fourth time we've discussed snacks. C'mon. Lets watch Zombie Hunters 4: or are you stalling because your afraid?"
Danny rolled his eyes and flopped on the couch again, then pressed play.
But the weirdest thing happened.
The DVD ate the disk!!!
Of course, our two lovebirds didn't know that. The DVD automatically skipped to the next DVD, and it just happened to be an old romantic movie that her mother must've left hanging around when her girl friends came to hang out before Christmas Church.
My brother will be there at the door -
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious -
Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home -
Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb -
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand -
Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see -
How can you do this thing to me
End Song Part, Continue FLASHBACK
It seemed to be "stuck", Sam and Danny agreed- Or maybe it REALLY was the fact they where sucked into the movie. Their intrest in the beautiful romance was overwhelmingly disturbing. Then Danny turned to Sam, and their eyes met. This was when Danny blushed and turned away.
Neither of them was interested in the movie anymore.
That night at the end of the movie, something happened. They had just been talking. Talking, talking. "Hows the weather today?" "Its storming." "O, right..." And basic things like that.
And then Danny kissed her.
They hadn't spoken of it again. But to Sam, it was a memory that would never fade.
End flashback
Sam smiled, burying her face in the pillow. With Marrin and her crush on Danny, there wouldn't be any more nights like that. No chance. No future. And her heart was shattering as the previous sentances crossed her mind.
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside.
End song completly
That night, Samantha Manson cried herself to sleep. She whispered to herself any thoughts that would leak out and stop pestering her. Things like, "I'll miss him." "Why her?"
And lastly,
"I love you, Daniel Fenton"
Thats when darkness melted onto her world.
