Okay, I said I'd continue this when I got a few ideas....and guess what...I did
<g> Anyway, I know it's after Valentine's day, but what the hell.
Disclaimer. I don't own them, they're not mine....well, the Sim versions are mine...all
mine....(cein cackles maniacally) but anyway...don't sue me...please.....
Seasonal snippets. (aka more musings from my sick and twisted mind)
Notes - since this is a 'fun-fic' I've ignored a lot of Season 7, but there are some
spoilers.
Kerry sighed as she looked at her notes, "So you started an I.V. of Dilantin on the
patient?" The figure in front of her nodded.
"And you didn't tell her that it was going to sting as it went in?" There
was another nod.
"And she wasn't very happy about this?" This was answered by a muffled grunt.
"So she ripped out the I.V... and threw the I.V. bag at you?"
"You know Dave," said Carter patronizingly. "If you're going to send
Valentines Day cards to all the girls you're dating, it's usually a good idea to get a few
different designs..." He paused for effect. "Especially if you're sending them
to twin sisters."
"Just shut up and unlock the door," came the muffled reply.
Carter looked at Dave's locker, from where the reply had come. "You know, Haleh was
in here before me...why didn't you ask her to let you out?"
Dave mumbled something that Carter couldn't catch. "What was that Dave?" he
asked as he fiddled with the lock. The door swung open to reveal Dave wearing only a pair
of boxer shorts. "Ah..." said Carter.
"And then she took the I.V. tubing and tied you up with it?" said Kerry. The
figure in front of her nodded. "Oh, that came after she ripped open the saline with
her teeth? Okay." Kerry crossed something out on her pad and wrote in something else.
"And then...then I buried my family and came to America," said Luka, a sorrowful
expression on his face.
"Oh that's so sad," said Chuny, patting his hand. "Listen, if you ever want
to talk...or anything...you just give me a call." She quickly scribbled her number on
a piece of paper and handed it to him. Kissing him quickly on the cheek, she headed back
to work.
Luka waited until she was out of sight before grinning widely and punching the air in
jubilation. Let's see, he thought to himself as he carefully put Chuny's piece of paper in
the pocket of his lab-coat, tucking it neatly with all the others, three ER nurses, two
from OB, and that scrub nurse called Shirley. "I should have tried this a long time
ago," he said to himself as he headed down the hall.
"So she took your thermometer and stuck it where?" There was a muffled reply.
"I hope she didn't break it," said Kerry. There was an indignant yelp.
"Well they're expensive..."
Peter was standing at the admit desk when Cleo came up to him and threw her arms around.
Kissing him on the cheek, she said, "Oh Peter, that was so sweet of you...the roses
and the chocolate...I can't believe it...and here was me thinking you'd forgotten about
Valentines Day."
Peter's jaw dropped as Cleo went on, "And I just know that the dinner is going to be
wonderful," she said.
"Dinner?" yelped Peter.
"Why yes...the dinner you promised me in the card," said Cleo, a puzzled
expression appearing on her face.
"Oh yeah...the dinner," said Peter. "Yeah...it'll be good...um, can you
just excuse me for one minute..." He kissed Cleo quickly on the cheek and set off for
the lounge at a run.
Jing-Mei watched him scurry away before turning to Cleo. "Dr. Benton got you flowers
and chocolates and he's taking you out to dinner?"
"Hell no," said Cleo. "I knew he'd never think of doing anything like that,
so I sent them to myself...now he's probably ringing round all the restaurants trying to
book a table for two." She smiled smugly.
"Girl, I like your style," said Jing-Mei admiringly.
"So after I put his details onto the computer, I just checked to see if he had a
criminal record," said Frank to Luka.
"You checked to see whether the Bishop had a criminal record?" asked Luka,
shocked.
"Well, yeah," said Frank. "I mean, those guys go round wearing dresses all
the time...you can't be too careful."
The Bishop looked at Luka and then looked at Frank before saying, "That'll do
pig."
"So after she pulled out the thermometer, she did what?" asked Kerry. There was
a barely audible reply. "She did what with the sternal saw?"
"Mumble mumble."
"Oh, she cut your scrub top off." Kerry looked at the pieces of cloth on the
floor. "Mmm, I must say, she did a very neat job..." There was another yelp of
indignation.
"Oh stop complaining Abby," said Kerry, looking at the trussed up nurse on the
floor. "You got off lightly. Now, I would untie you...but I'm afraid it's
time for my break...I'll be back in ten minutes...maybe..." She left the room.
Carter sat on a chair in the Lounge staring gloomily at his watch. Dave and Mark watched
him unobtrusively from a corner.
"He's been like that for ages man," said Dave. "He seems to be counting
down to something."
"Any idea what?"
Dave shrugged, "I dunno."
"Four, three, two, one..." said Carter, looking at his watch as the numbers
changed to 02.56. "Wahhhh," he wailed. "Lucy's dead..."
Mark rolled his eyes. "Man, I can't believe he's still going on about her. Carter,
it's been a year...get over it already."
"Dr. Weaver," said Haleh. "Have you seen Abby anywhere?"
"Oh crap," said Kerry, "I forgot all about her...oh well, another few
minutes won't hurt." She went back to watching Luka who was reaching down between a
gap in the admit desk.
"Are you sure that your keys are down here Kerry?" Luka asked as he straightened
up.
"Oh I'm certain," replied Kerry. "You might need to stretch down a bit
further."
Luka sighed and reached down again.
Kerry sighed as she watched his muscles flex and strain. Abby could definitely wait
another few minutes.
Authors note. The 'Dilantin incident' was inspired by Ellen's comments about what she
would have done if she hadn't been warned that Dilantin would sting.
The Carter at 02.56 was inspired by a post on a.t.e. months and months ago speculating on
how Carter would cope with Valentine's day (if deja was still working, I'd find out who
exactly to credit, but it isn't, so I can't. but whoever you were, thank you <g>)
