Chapter 2: Christmas Carols

"Casey, nobody wants to hear you hum 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer' for the rest of these two weeks, so just shut the hell up!" Derek growled at her as she raised the volume on her incessant humming.

"You won't let me sing any Christmas carols so I'm humming you least favourite one." She went back to her humming.

"Fine! Just, please, stop the humming noises!" He covered her ears and she smiled nodding.

"Okay, fine, I'll stop."

"You will?" He was shocked she'd given up so quickly.

"But…"

"But? Why does there always have to be a but?" He asked and she raised her eyebrows.

"You don't know how wrong that could sound. Anyways, as I was saying…you have to sing carols for me in order for me to stop." He narrowed his eyes.

"How many?" He spat out.

"Only five." She said; he groaned.

"I only know two!"

"What Rudolph and The Grinch?" She laughed as he stuck his tongue out.

"No, thank you very much, I know Joy to the World!" He said proudly.

"Yeah, the 'My Teacher's Dead' version." She rolled her eyes.

"Does that one count? 'Cause then I have three…" Derek asked; Casey wasn't sure if he was serious or joking.

"Are you being serious?" She asked, cocking an eyebrow. He nodded. "No, you nincompoop, it does not count." He pouted a little before raking his brain for a song; then he smirked.

"Got it." He said proudly.

"Then go." She motioned to him with her hand.

"I don't want a lot for Christmas-" Casey groaned.

"There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is…"

"Please stop." She groaned.

"You!!!"

"That's it! One down!" Casey yelled dramatically, flailing her arms in the air. He just smirked. "Number two, go right ahead."

"Hmm…got it." She rolled her eyes.

"Any time now."

"I Saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause

Underneath the mistletoe last night

She didn't see me creep

Down the stairs to have a peep

She thought that I was tucked

Up in my bedroom fast asleep

Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Clause

Underneath his beard so snowy white

Oh, what a laugh it would have been

If Daddy had only seen

Mommy kissing Santa Clause last night!" He ended with a dramatic, long, loud note.

"Okay! God…your singing could kill a person."

"Good to know." He smirked as she rolled her eyes. "Got one."

"Alert the press! Derek Venturi has another song to torture me with!" They both laughed at that one.

"Anyways…

Feliz navidad

Prospero ano y felicidad

Feliz navidad

Prospero ano y felicidad

I wanna wish you a merry Christmas

From the bottom of my heart!"

"You don't have to repeat, I beg to not repeat." He nodded. "I thought you only knew two Christmas carols?" She asked pointedly.

"I did; but you're always playing your Christmas music this time of year…I learn." He smirked as they continued to walk.

"Figures."

"What?"

"The only thing of mine you listen to is my music; never my words." She rolled her eyes playfully.

"Shut up." He smirked as she smiled.

"Just go Venturi."

"Okay, um…

Sleigh bells ring

Are you listening?

In the lane

Snow is glistening

A beautiful sight

We're happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away

Is the bluebird

Here to stay

Is a new bird

Singing a love song

As we go along

Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman

And pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say: are you married?

We'll say: no man,

But you can do the job

When you're in town

Later on

We'll conspire

As we dream

By the fire

To face unafraid

The plans that we've made

Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can make a snowman

And pretend that he's a circus clown

We'll have lot'sa fun with mister snowman

Until the other kids knock him down

When it snows

Ain't it thrilling?

Though your nose

Gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play

The Eskimo way

Waling in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland." The two of them laughed as they collapsed onto a snow bank.

"Four, you need one more." Casey in between laughter.

"Four? That's it? Are you sure?" Derek looked at her intently as she nodded he groaned and let his head fall against the snow.

"Yep. All I Want for Christmas is You-,"

"Aw, Case, that's really sweet of you." He touched his heart dramatically as she hit his shoulder playfully.

"-I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause, Feliz Navidad and Walking in a Winter Wonderland. Four." She waggled four fingers in his face.

"Fine...

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." He sighed and fell against the snow again. "Done." He looked over at Casey, she was smiling.

"What?" He asked.

"You sang all five…without Rudolph, or any versions of Joy to the World." She pinched his cheek. "Good job."

"Ugh…this pinching of the cheeks, woman! Who are you, Aunt Madge?" Casey rolled her eyes.

"You know…we're actually getting along…weird." She said.

"Yeah, but I wouldn't question it…I feel like there's peace on Earth for a little while…" Derek stated, chuckles escaping through his words.

"I know…why can't it be like this all the time?" Derek shrugged; he closed his eyes briefly before it felt something cold and wet hit his face. He wiped at his eyes then looked at Casey, who was standing now, and acting, innocent.

"It. Is. So. On!" He cried before lunging snowballs at her. And with that, another war broke out; but this time…

…along the lines of not-so-hateful.

A/N: Okay…I like this chapter; please tell me what you think because my opinion doesn't really matter. I can't review my own story, it doesn't count. Remember…if you don't already know that is…I won't update until I get five new reviews. So R&R please!
