I do not own "Hart of Dixie". A ridiculousness amount of rubber duckies? Yes. "Hart of Dixie"? No.

"Here snaky, snaky, snaky!" Wade called out into the old, abandoned house. He wasn't really sure why he was going through this house to see what snakes lived there. Actually, that wasn't true, he knew why. A certain doctor looked at him with her big brown eyes, filled with apprehension at the thought of going in the house alone and Wade just couldn't say no. He stepped further into the house, the memories of his high school days coming back to him. "Ah, the old Hooper house. I use to bring my high school girlfriends here." Wade said as they went through to another room.

"Please tell me they were still breathing at the time." Zoe said, always quick with a snide comment.

Wade turned around to reply, only to see Zoe's eyes focused on the ceiling. "There's no need to look up- poisonous ones don't climb." He said as he looked around, eyes peeled for any sort of movement. "Well, cottonmouths sometimes, but not in these parts. Usually." He added the last part just to make Zoe a little nervous. He couldn't help himself. She was such an easy target, being a city girl and all.

"What do you mean 'usually'?" Zoe asked.

Wade ignored her question and continued to talk. "Well, what we are looking for is a rattler, copperhead- a really pretty tan thing with brown blotches." They continued into the room and on the floor, Wade saw an old rope. He smiled inwardly. He was gonna have some fun. "Oh my God." He said as he slowly bent over.

"What?" Zoe asked with concern in her voice.

Wade didn't say anything, just silently reached for the rope. " WHOA!" he yelled as he tossed the rope at Zoe. She let out a scream and fell on top of an old mattress.

"Ow! Wade!" she exclaimed after she had landed.

Wade just laugh until he saw how mad she was. "Ah, it's a rope, okay? You are so city."

Zoe made it to her feet. "Copperhead." She said in a breathless voice.

"What?"

"Copperhead." Zoe repeated and then pointed to the mattress. Wade looked and there was, in fact, a copperhead snake.

"Wow that was quick. Lucky we found it." Wade said with a smile. He was actually glad he could be a help to Zoe.

"Not really." Zoe said in a scared voice. She then held up her right hand, showing a very visible snake bite on her hand.

"Whoa." Was all Wade was able to say. Though to be perfectly honest, he was really saying shit.

"This is so stupid. You don't need to carry me." Zoe complained. Not that was any different from the ride back, since she had been complaining since they left the old Cooper house. Not that Wade blamed her. She did get bitten by a poisonous snake. And it was technically his fault. But all he had been doing was having some fun. The last thing he wanted was for Zoe to get hurt. This was why he was carrying her. He felt that he had to do all that he could to help her. Plus he liked the feeling of her in his arms. Which would explain the big grin on his face.

"First rule of a snake bite, Doc. Can't let the victim exert herself."

"What's the second rule- apply pressure to her boob? Put me down." She ordered. Wade complied, sitting her on a chair.

He looked down at Zoe. "Well, glad I could be of help." He said, putting emphasis on the word help. Before she could say anything to argue, Wade left the doctor's office. He didn't want to be around to explain how her snake bite happened; he already felt bad enough. Besides, she made it perfectly clear she did not need his help with anything.

I've decided to turn this story into a series of one shots, that get inspired by episodes. I've done this with other series that I watch, so I figured, why not for this one.

So I hope you enjoy this. Feel free to leave a review (I always appreciate knowing what the reader is thinking) and happy reading!
