FATE

This is Very AU tons of OOC-ness…Sorry in Advance…I don't own GH or RENT…The only character I own is Tracy's Daughter Amanda (Mandy)...brief prologue the rest takes place AU in present day PC….

Christmas time came all to soon as Amanda walked downstairs of the mansion spotting her step sister yelling at Maxie and Georgie.

"Hell no," Lulu said, "You can't pay me to put that on."

Amanda knew what was going on; Lulu was being told she had to play one of Santa's Elves.

"Lulu," Amanda yelled from the top of the stairs, "Come here."

Lulu walked to the foot of the stairs and waited for Amanda.

"Tell them I'm not going to be an elf," Lulu said.

"I can't do that," Amanda said pulling out a picture from years ago of herself, Emily and Liz.

"You were an Elf," Lulu said.

"It is tradition," Amanda said, "even if you don't want to think of all those poor kids stuck in the hospital during Christmas."

"Fine," Lulu said, "I'll do it."

Amanda headed out the door as she passed Mark and Dillon chatting about director stuff.

"Let me see the picture," Mark said.

"No," Amanda said.

Mark tried to grab the picture from her hand and she was trying to keep it away.

"Do we have to play this game," Mark asked.

"I would say yes," Amanda said, "but I have to be at the hospital, you'll be at the party won't you."

He nodded.

A few hours later the party began.

Amanda stood watching all of the children sit down as her uncle read the Christmas Story like he did every year. She watched the girls play their parts as elves handing out Candy Canes and things to the children. Alan finished and it was time for Santa's arrival.

Jason had gotten out of his room and Amanda was standing with him and Sam.

"I'm glad to see you up and about Jase," Amanda said.

"I should be out by the New Year," Jason said smiling.

"I'm glad," Amanda said as Santa finally entered the room.

Amanda recognized who was in the suit right away as Noah Drake, Patrick's father. He was drunk and both Patrick and herself knew it.

Patrick pulled Noah away as Amanda walked over.

"What about Santa," Amanda said.

"Amanda you know he is drunk," Patrick said.

"I know," Amanda said, "but I mean what will the kids think with us dragging Santa out."

"I got you covered," said Mark walking over kissing Amanda on the cheek.

A few minutes later Patrick had taken his father aside and was fighting meanwhile Santa came back out.

After the party Mark still in the suit headed over to Amanda.

"Santa has one more present in his bag," Mark said pulling out a box.

"I have a present too," Amanda said pulling out the folded photograph.

Amanda opened the box to find a key.

"I told you their would be no guestroom," Mark said, "I got us a place above Kelly's."

"Not as good as what I have," Amanda said, "seriously though I'll give you your real present later."

Mark looked at the photo.

"You were such a cute elf," Mark said.

"Thank you," Amanda said realizing they were standing under mistletoe and kissing Mark.

TBC…

Again I want to know should I split this story after New Years also should I bring in any other RENT characters? If so who? And what GH ships/characters would you like to see?
