Lulu Spencer wondered when this happened to her, when she became the girl waiting around for the guy to wake up and realize she had feelings for him. Especially this guy. When had the tables turned? It had to be sometime after they became roommates.

Lulu looked at the amazing house she and Damian Spinelli co-owned, on the outside it looked like a classic little house but the inside was more modern then you could imagine. They had the best electronics and systems to connect them all thanks to Spinelli. The furniture was comfortable, but everything was kind of stark and nothing was pink.

A tree stood near the fireplace and for now all it had on it were lights, both Lulu and Spinelli had been too busy with work to get anything else put on it. But right now Lulu was determined to have the best Christmas her dreams could allow her. She might not be able to get her wish of wishes for her mother to be well again, but she could at least try to make her wish of winning Spinelli's heart come true.

The front door opened pulling her out of her daze for a moment and saw Spinelli coming in, covered in snow.

"I take it the storm is picking up?" She asked even though she knew the answer already.

"I was waiting to run into the abdominal snowman until I reached the house." He was removing his scarf, gloves and jacket. "What are you doing Lulu?"

"Trying to motivate myself, and now you to decorate this tree. It's Christmas Eve and we should've gotten this done a while ago." She opened up a box of paper ornaments the two had made several years before when he still lived with Jason and she still lived with the Quartermaines.

Spinelli looked in the box and smiled picking up one that looked like a bottle of orange soda, and he giggled, "I think its great we still have these."

Lulu smiled, "So do I." She picked up one that looked like a paper doll. "So any major plans for this evening?"

Spinelli picked up another ornament, shaped like an angel with a fine script that said Georgie as Lulu picked up one that said Emily. They placed the one the tree near the top before he answered, "I was thinking cocoa and DVD's. Are you up for that?"

Lulu smiled, "I sure am. So is this a just us kind of thing?"

Spinelli felt his heart flutter, Lulu was still the woman he yearned for but after six years of friendship he had learned to control his yearnings. "But of course fair Lulu, who would be nuts to go out in weather like this?"

Lulu nodded as she hung some more ornaments, "True." She looked out the window, "It is a magical night however. Who knows, maybe someone is out there getting a wish they never thought would come true."

"Lulu, you've gotten awfully sentimental and romantic, you're not still thinking about Johnny, are you?"

Lulu shook her head, "God no. That has been over for a very long time. I mean he and Maxie are just about to have a kid." She looked out at the snow again, "You don't think Maxie is crazy enough to go visit Georgie's grave tonight, do you?"

"She's on bed rest, so yeah she probably is." Spinelli took out a paper chain they'd made and began to hang it on the tree.

"I just hope she's safe."

"The Christmas Spirit has taken over."

Lulu shrugged, "Yeah well, it is the holiday. So what DVD were you thinking of watching?"

"I was thinking of The Santa Clause trilogy." He almost wrapped Lulu up in the chain with the tree before an awkward moment where he could smell her perfume.

"That sounds great. Let me get some Cocoa going." She left the room, leaving Spinelli alone with the tree and the topper, a star that every year they made a wish on.

Spinelli held what had originally been a mass produced cheap trinket at a discount store before he and Lulu dazzled it up with glitter and trinkets they'd found and collected. He looked down at it for a moment, closed his eyes and made a wish. A wish to be brave enough to stop hiding his feelings for Lulu, to really go for it and know that if he failed that was it, they could only be friends.

Lulu watched as Spinelli held the star, knowing he was making a wish. Knowing she was making a wish herself, a wish for the chance to see if maybe Spinelli could open himself up to her, the way he'd wanted to years before. "So you ready to put that up."

"Yeah, sure am." He handed it to her, and prepared to spot her as she stood on the lift in front of the fireplace as she placed it on top of the tree.

Just after she placed it she started to get down, and found herself slipping right into Spinelli's arms. They were frozen for a moment, both of their hearts racing, breath ragged as they looked into each others eyes, the way they'd both been dreaming of one perhaps a bit longer then the other.

Lulu knew that if she didn't kiss him now, she may never have a more perfect chance again.

Spinelli thought he was about to die when he felt her lips on his. Lulu Spencer was kissing him, The Jackal, Damian Spinelli. If this hadn't been better then all of his dreams and fantasy's, this had to be real.

Lulu pulled back, waiting for his reaction as she sat down on the stone lift. "You seem surprised, and in a bad way."

Spinelli sat next to her, "I am surprised, yes. But not in a bad way. I'm still trying to process the fact that Fair Lulu just kissed me. I had given up on such a fantasy becoming a reality."

Lulu rubbed her forehead, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you, but I just figured if I didn't do it now, then I never would." She stood up but before she could pace away Spinelli had grabbed her hand.

"Wait, what is it that you're saying?"

She sat next to him again, holding his hand and feeling like they were having a major adult moment. "I'm saying that I've wanted to kiss you for a while."

"The blonde one says what?"

She giggled with a smile, "Is it weird that for what seems like ages you had feelings for me and I didn't return them, but now the tables are turned?"

"You think I don't have feelings for you?"

"You haven't chased after me or called any of the guys I've dated in the last year or so unworthy."

Spinelli sighed, he really had hidden his feelings for her very well. "Because, I figured you were sick of hearing it and none of them lasted very long, so why point it out when you already knew it."

Lulu looked up at the tree topper, "I wish things were as easy as making a wish."

Spinelli stood up and cupped her face in his hands, "Earlier I wished that I could stop hiding my feelings for you. And its coming true. Lulu I am still crazy about you. More then you could probably imagine."

She covered his hands with hers, "Really? So it sounds like both our wishes came true then."

He smiled, "It appears to be so."

Lulu brushed the hair away from his eyes before kissing him again, this time it lasted several moments, as they stood in the light from the tree and outside washing over them on a Christmas Eve they would always remember.
