Christmas, the one holiday our Time Lady actually enjoyed, but this Christmas would be a little different for Alexis, it was the first Christmas in many years that she was spending on Earth, surrounded by people she loved and had grown to care for. It was also the first Christmas for her Revonnahgander partner, who was currently fascinated by a piece of silver tinsel, he had one end of it,as for the other end, a robotic looking bird was hovering in the air with it, in it's beak.
"Laserbeak,Rook, what on Earth are you doing with that tinsel?" Our mousey brown haired Time Lady stepped into the main control room of the T.A.R.D.I.S, a Santa hat placed perfectly on her head.
"So this is tinsel?"Rook continues to play with the tinsel, curiosity clearly hinted in his eyes, he decided to let go once Laserbeak began to tug at it harder. "What exactly does it do?"
"Well you can either put it on the Christmas tree, or decorate the room with it" Laserbeak flew around main controls of the T.A.R.D.I.S, making sure that the tinsel was wrapped perfectly around it."Like Laserbeak has just done. Thank you sweetheart" Alexis smiles over at the Decepticon, who was now hunting for more tinsel in a bag.
"What happens on Christmas?" Rook walks carefully over to Alexis, making sure not to trip over the many decorations which were spread all over the floor. Placing his hands on Alexis hips, a small smile on his lips, Laserbeak lands on his shoulder, tinsel in his beak.
"You spend it with family, in my case friends. Give each other presents, have a huge meal and many other things. There is actually a story behind Christmas, but I don't fancy telling it" Alexis smiles cheekily as Laserbeak wraps the tinsel around Rook, he gently touches it, pulling his hand away as it tickles the palm of his hand.
"Is this your first Christmas?"
"No it's not, but it's the first one in a long time" Alexis smiles, her hazel eyes twinkling in excitement, she actually couldn't wait to spend Christmas with Rook,Ben,Max,and the other plumbers. "Are you as excited as I am?" Alexis grins as she pulls Rook into a tight hug, a tear slips down her cheek, she wasn't upset, she was happy, the happiest she had been in many many years.
"I guess you could say I am excited" Rook holds Alexis close to him,after a minute or two he releases her, only to see a struggling Laserbeak attempting to pull in a huge Christmas tree. "Would you like some help with that?" Rook walks over to Laserbeak, grabbing the bottom of the tree, whilst Laserbeak still insistently pulled at the top, Alexis helps after a few seconds, decided to place the tree where the T.A.R.D.I.S had chose, not too far from her heart.
"Thank you" Laserbeak goes to grab some tinsel from the floor, only to be stopped by Alexis grabbing it, and handing the lights over to him. "The lights should go on last"
"I've always been told first"
"Does it really matter?"
"Not really" Alexis smiles, allowing Laserbeak to begin decorating the tree, Rook soon happily joined in, his tinsel sometimes getting intertwined with the one Laserbeak was carrying. "Don't forget the baubles" Alexis threw one to Rook, who caught it, slowly examining it before he placed it on the tree, only for Laserbeak to remove it.
"Lights then baubles" Laserbeak creeped over to the lights, lightly picking them up in his beak, he passed them over to Rook. "You can do them"
"Thank you Laserbeak"Rook began to place the lights around the Christmas tree,making sure that none overlapped each other, he did a good job at decorating the tree. "Baubles" Rook smiled, returning the one Laserbeak took off,back in its original place. "Alexis, are you going to help?" Rook smiled innocently at his girlfriend, she walked over to him, a bag of baubles in her hand, after a few minutes the tree was decorated perfectly in the eyes of Laserbeak,Rook and Alexis.
"One thing missing" Alexis rummaged through a box of decorations, pulling out a shining crystal angel, she passed it over to Rook, his eyes shining in interest at the angel. "You may have the honours of placing the angel on the tree"
"Thank you" Rook nods his head, reaching up he places the angel on top of the Christmas tree, he claps his hands together in happiness at the end, causing Alexis to laugh. "That was fun" Rook smiles at Alexis, planting a kiss on her cheek as Laserbeak flew around the T.A.R.D.I.S, placing more decorations and ornaments around the control room. Alexis smiles as she hears the familiar humming of the T.A.R.D.I.S, she was telling Alexis how much she likes the tree and the other decorations.
"She likes it"
"Who likes what?" Rook asks Alexis, a confused smile on his face, Alexis grins as she strokes the T.A.R.D.I.S' controls.
"The T.A.R.D.I.S"
"It can speak?"
"Only I can hear her, Time Ladies and Lords tend to create a bond with their T.A.R.D.I.S."
"That's amazing" Rook smiles, Laserbeak perches on his shoulder, Rook reaches a hand out, he strokes Laserbeak's head, he looks up at the ceiling, only to reveal mistletoe above Rook and Alexis'.
"Mistletoe" Alexis grins as she looks at Rook, wrapping her arms around his neck, she carefully pulls her lover closer to her, smiling Rook wraps his arms around Alexis' waist. "You know what that means?"
"What?" Rook asks Alexis innocently, their lips crash together in a kiss full of passion,care,admiration and love for each other, Alexis smiles cheekily, giving Rook another quick peck on the lips.
"It means we should kiss"
"But we kiss anyway" Alexis pulls a spare Santa hat out of her pocket, reaching up, she places it on Rook, a huge grin plastered on her face, as Rook flicks the pompom out of his face.
"I know" Alexis smiles, kissing Rook again, he returns the kiss before Alexis pulls away from him,pulling out a smaller Santa hat from her pocket. "Laserbeakkk" Alexis smiles innocently at the bird, he cautiously takes a few steps towards her,as soon as Laserbeak is close enough, Alexis dives on him, putting the hat on his head. "Don't you look sexy" Alexis smiles proudly as Laserbeak dives towards her at an alarming speed,laughing Alexis drops to the floor and rolls out of the way of the Decepticons attack. "Well then, everyone's suited up" Alexis drops onto the sofa which she had placed in the control room, Rook sits by her side, resting her head on his chest, Rook wraps his arms lovingly around her. Laserbeak perches on the back of the sofa, the shutters closing over his eyes as he drifts of into recharges, Alexis and Rook soon fall asleep on the sofa.
