Christmas, Far and Near
I had already started writing a different Christmas story, but I will give credit to Insertisernamehere for bringing it up. Just a bit different then the episode.
Kensi walks into the trailer. She shivers a bit at the temperature change. Savantino is in the kitchen cooking.
"Just in time for Christmas dinner."
"Oh, please."
"You got a package while you were out today. It's on your bunk."
Kensi drops her bag in her room. She takes off her jacket and scarf. She picks up the medium size bad and brings it back out to the table. She grabs a knife from the kitchen and cut the envelope free from the top. She opens the letter.
Kensalina,
I still don't know where you are, Hetty addressed the box herself, so I'm imagining a warm beach, you in a bikini, little umbrella drink in your hand.
As I write this Callen and Sam are bickering, Nell is mixing the eggnog, Eric is pretending to work on his computer but keeps looking at her, seriously when are those two going to get together already, and Hetty is siting in her office overlooking everyone, so nothing's changed. Oh crap she just looked at me.
Monty misses you. He asks about you all the time. He even has me watching America's Next Top Model. He thinks Dani's going to win this year. I told him he's crazy, it has to be Erica.
This isn't exactly how I saw our first Christmas together going, but I want you to know I'm still in this if you are.
I sent you something. It's not much, but it's you.

Kensi looks back at the box. She picks up the knife and opens it.
She takes the plant out of the box and sets it on the table. She begins to giggle which turns into a full-blown laugh.
"I don't get it." Savantino says.
"It's a Fern."
Please Review. Love you all. Have a Happy Holidays.
