Author's Note: An awesome request from EOshipper2010which was "A while ago you did one about how they watched "Without A Trace" and they were like "Parker! That's you!" (Don't you love my summary? [fails]) Well, Christian Kane had a part in Carrie Underwood's music video for "So Small" so I was hoping you could do something like the "Without A Trace" one." I love your summary, btw, that's exactly how I would summarize that chapter too! I hope you enjoy this! Anyways, I highly recommend you watch the music video first since this chapter deals a lot with a certain scene in that video and you won't understand it unless you watch the music video. Anyways, enjoy!
Parker thinks she could get used to this.
It's raining outside and the team has gone to run errands.
"You want some hot cocoa?" Eliot calls from the kitchen.
Well, almost everyone. Eliot stayed with her today because it was rare that they actually got time alone together. Sure, they went out on dates, but most of the time they were too busy busting people to just enjoy each other's company. She's glad that this storm happened because now she finally gets some Eliot's famous hot cocoa.
"Yes, please!" Parker calls as she stops flipping through the channels and ends up on VH1. "With—!"
"Extra marshmallows," He finishes with a smirk. "I know how you like yours." She chuckles and feels happy to be pampered by him. She really loves him—not that she's ready to tell him that—but she's glad that he's here.
"And up next, Carrie Underwood's So Small!" Parker yawns. Carrie Underwood isn't her favorite thing in the world, but unfortunately for her, Without a Trace isn't on. As Miss Underwood begins to sing, Eliot brings her the drink and she lays herself on his chest.
She drops the cup and gasps.
"Parker?" Eliot asks worriedly. "What is it?"
"No way!" The thief's eyes have widened hugely and Eliot isn't sure whether he should be worried or if this is normal for her.
"What?" He tries to ask her again. "What is it?"
"It's you!" She exclaims, pointing to a man shouting into his cell phone. "You're in this music video!"
Eliot sighs and rolls his eyes. He picks up the cups and then gets up to get a sponge. Hopefully, Nate won't notice the fact that his brand new carpet is covered in hot cocoa.
"Parker, don't be ridiculous," He chides as he returns with a yellow sponge. "Why would I be in a music video?"
"I don't know," She relents. "But that's you!" She springs off the couch and places herself directly in front of the screen. Eliot suppresses a laugh; she looks like a little kid. He cleans the carpet while she watches intently. She gasps when "his" car crashes into the woman's. She smiles when time starts going back. At the end of the video, she's glaring at the woman "he" is reconciling with.
"Parker?"
She's still staring at the TV and Eliot pulls her back from the screen. The last thing he needs to do is explain to Nate how his plasma got broken.
"That was you," It's not a question, but a statement. "I know it was."
"Parker," He's not in the mood to argue with her about this. "Let's just—"
She jumps up abruptly and then promptly kisses him. He's not sure what's going on, but if it means he gets a kiss from her then he's all for it. When they pull apart, she pulls him to her.
"Don't ever leave mad," She orders. "Ok?"
He nods.
It was him in the video, not that he'd admit it. He had been working a job and one of Miss Underwood's workers was his target. He'd gotten in, did his job, and was about to leave when the director of the video thought he was the actor they had hired. He didn't have a choice and played his part. Looking back, this song probably fit him very well and maybe it wasn't just a coincidence that he had been chosen to be a part of it.
He softly sings to the worried thief:
And then you figure out
Love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else
So small
They kiss once more.
