6 months after Sara joins the team
"Ah, I hate paper work," Kensi complained, about to pull her hair out.
"It's better than getting beat up, kens," Sara said, coming back from dropping off the last of her paper work on Hetty's desk.
"I'm not so sure about that. How'd you get done so fast?"
"She takes her paper work home with her," Callen said.
"Stalker much?" Sara asked, sitting down at her desk.
"You walk out of the building pretty much every night with a file in your hand," Callen replied.
"Well sue me for having no social life because I like to be alone after being with y'all all day," Sara retorted.
"Sounds like you and G have something in common," Sam piped in.
Sara looked at her phone and groaned.
"I didn't think having something in common with me was such a bad thing," Callen joked.
"It's not that," Sara said, "its just that my stepmom texted me plans for Christmas and she made sure to add that there is room for me to bring someone."
"Ooo, pressure. I know how you feel, my mom keeps telling me that the clock is ticking," Kensi said.
"Oh, now she's added she found my future plans from high school that said 'by the time I'm 38 I want to be married with at least 3 kids and 38 is only 4 years away'."
"At least 3? How many did you want?" Deeks asked.
"5," Sara replied.
"I can barely handle the two I got, much less 5," Sam said.
"I grew up in a big family," Sara replied.
"How many kids?"
"I have 7 total siblings, they're 6 kids between my mom and stepdad and 4 between my dad and stepmom but my sister and I are included in both totals," Sara explained, "oh, look. Now she's reminding me 5 of my sibling are married with kids three of which are younger than me."
"Ouch!" Deeks said.
"Maybe we'll get a case and you can get out of it," Callen said.
"Didn't you hear? Hetty has guaranteed us two weeks off for Christmas," Deeks said.
"Looks like you're out of luck," Callen replied.
"Tell me about it," Sara rolled her eyes, "I've considered hiring someone to pose as my boyfriend more times than I'd like to admit."
"You should just take Callen with you," Sam suggested.
"Because I'm want to spend my holidays with him," Sara replied.
"Well why not?" Sam asked, "you want to get your stepmom off your back and G doesn't have any holiday plans."
"Thank you for pointing out my lack of a social life," Callen replied.
"It's not like we didn't already know," Kensi piped in.
"You're one to talk," Callen said.
"Hey, I'm going snowboarding."
"With me," Deeks said.
"You're spending the holiday with him?" Sam asked, "what happened to Kensi?"
"Ha ha ha," Deeks said, dryly.
"I still think you should go with Sara," Sam urged.
"Don't I get a say in this?" Sara asked.
"No, Sam replied, "just think about it like an undercover operation without having to worry about twisted psychopaths and their guns."
"You obviously haven't met my family."
"I guess that explains you," Deeks said.
"That's rich coming from you," Sara replied.
"Wait a minute," Callen said, "I get the psychopath part but the guns?"
"I'm from the back woods of N.C. state. 10,000 rednecks and their guns."
"Oh," Callen said, "that's why you say y'all."
Sara groaned and got her head on her desk.
"So are you going?" Sam asked.
"I don't know," Callen replied, "I haven't been invited yet."
