"Just stay really still and tet them come to you." Larry said to Ren as they knelt beside the lake.
"Are you sure that's how you do it? Cause' my hands are starting to get numb." Ren said trying to remain as still as possible. Which wasn't very easy since the water was below freezing.
"Well you're the one who wanted to know how to fish." Larry said with a big grin plastered on his face.
"That's it! If you don't show me an easier way then I just won't eat." Ren said in mock anger.
"Im serious! This is the way my grandpa taught me how to fish when you don't have a pole or net!" Larry said giving Ren back her gloves.
"Well then why don't YOU do it then!" Ren said giving Larry a nudge.
"What?" Ren said when she saw that Larry had been staring into space.
"I just realized something! We left on December 18th right?" Larry said quickly looking at Ren.
"Yeah. So?"
"I counted the days we've been gone and..."Larry said stopping mid-sentence.
"What! Tell me." Ren said grabbing Larry's shoulders.
"Today is Christmas Eve!" Larry shouted hugging Ren.
"Are you serious?" Ren said in disbelief.
"I'm positive! Tomorrow is Christmas!" Larry said giving Ren an even bigger hug.
"Wow! With us looking for Louis and all I completely forgot!"
"I have an idea! What about in honor of Christmas, we stay here for the rest of the day and just celebrate!" Larry said sitting back down.
"Great idea! I could use some more rest." Ren said sitting down beside Larry and resting her head on his shoulder.
"Well before we can rest we've got to find something to eat for our Christmas dinner." Larry said looking down at Ren.
"Ok. But only if you do the fishing." Ren said reluctantly getting up.
"Deal." Larry said as he gave Ren a quick sweet kiss on the lips.

By sunset they had made a nice little fire and had started roasting some fish and a bird Larry had managed to get.
"I'm not sure, but I think this might be one of the best Christmases I've ever had." Ren said as they finished eating.
"Me too." Larry said scooting over beside her.
"What's your Christmas wish?" Ren said leaning on Larry's chest as they once again looked at the perfect sky.
"I'm in the woods, on Christmas Eve, with my girlfriend, looking at the stars. I already have everything!" What do you wish for?" Larry said hugging Ren.
"I just wish that we can find Louis and the gang soon." Ren said scooting a little closer to Larry.
"Ditto." Larry said never taking his eyes off the stars. That is, until Ren pulled his head down into a romantic kiss.
"I could get used to sleeping under the stars like this." Larry said when they parted.
After that they fell asleep together under the stars on a perfect Christmas night.
