A/N: Hello :) I'm sorry for the long wait! I wrote this in about an hour, and I think it turned out really cute :3 Enjoy!

P.S. Here in Boston, people use 'Charlie' cards to get in and out of the subway. I have no idea if any other city does this, so I just wanted to make that clear lol

"So what's the plan, G.I. Joe?"

"You'll see," Owen said with a smile that could kill.

"Sneaky bastard," Cristina sassed back as she poked her tongue out at him. Contrary to her 'harsh' words, she leaned into Owen as they walked to the nearest T station to hitch a ride to God knows where.

Even though there had been a threat of a blizzard the night before, it hadn't hit the city hard. Instead, the snowstorm had traveled further north before it arrived in the vicinity of the Boston area. However, Boston did receive about a foot of snow which still covered much of the vehicles that were parked along the sidewalk the previous night.

Owen and Cristina arrived to the nearest subway station, which became quite an entertaining experience; at least, it was to Cristina.

Owen stared at the Charlie machine in front of him. Seriously, how hard is this supposed to be?, thought Owen, with a confused expression in his face. The last time he had been in Boston, they were still using the old fashion tokens, not paper and plastic cards that had to be swiped along a laser sensor to receive access to the subway tracks. Needless to say, Owen was completely lost, while Cristina was laughing softly at him, leaning on another Charlie machine nearby. Oh boy…thought Owen.

"Problems?" asked Cristina with a smug smile, even though she knew that Owen was having problems. And the fact that she knew Owen would deny it. She could only shake her head at her strong dumbfounded military man.

"Uh… no, I've got it." But clearly he didn't.

"You sure about that now?"

"Positive."

"Alright," Cristina said doubtfully, still smiling. Owen went back and forth from the monetary information for a Charlie pass and the machine, trying hopelessly to understand.

Meanwhile, Cristina spotted a female MBTA employee across the station doing her usual rounds. Leaving Owen and the uncooperative machine, Cristina began to walk over to the employee.

"Excuse me, could you help me get two of those Charlie passes?"

"Oh, sure, ma'am." She led her over to a machine on the other side of the station. Cristina looked back, and smiled when she saw Owen still staring at the screen of the same machine she'd left him with.

"I guess you're not from around here, are you ma'am?" asked the employee.

"No, I'm from the West Coast—Seattle to be exact. I'm here on the spur of the moment vacation with my friend over there," said Cristina chuckling, pointing out the red-headed man across the station, who seemed to be struggling with the Charlie machine.

"I see," said the employee, smiling knowingly. "Stubborn man, I assume?"

"Very," Cristina said with a slight smile.

"I can understand. My husband is the same way. Always wanting to do things on his own," the employee said, chuckling. She took several dollars from Cristina, pressed several buttons, and out came two passes from the machine. "Ah, here you go, dear."

"Thank you," Cristina said with a smile. "And Merry Christmas."

Meanwhile, Owen was almost about to slam his head against the stupid machine.

"Any luck?" asked Cristina, as she arrive back at the spot where she'd left him last.

Owen sighed heavily, and gave her a slight glare. "No."

"Well, if you're done here, Mr. Stubborn Military Man, we can go." Cristina started to walk away in the direction if the turnstiles and took out two passes from her coat pocket, waving them behind her.

Owen stared at Cristina's retreating form in a little bit of shock, and a little bit of embarrassment.

Catching up to her, he asked, "Where did you get those?"

Cristina chuckled. "How do you think, Hunt?"

Owen's brow furrowed. "Well, I would have been able to figure it out eventually. I just needed more time." They both knew he was lying through his teeth.

"Uh huh," said Cristina skeptically.

"I would have!"

"You can keep telling yourself that, dear," she said cheekily, tapping him lightly on the chest as she gave him one of the passes.

She moved the pass over the sensor which opened the electronic doors. She passed through and turned around. "Coming?"

"Uh, yeah," Owen stammered, amazed that Cristina had gotten the upper hand on him.

He did the same thing Cristina did. However, he went in to quickly, expecting the doors to open faster. He knocked straight into them. A second later, they opened, unphased by his stupidity. Cristina tried to keep herself from giggling, but it was no use.

Owen walked through the doors, but again, he did it almost too late. The doors nipped his backside, causing Cristina to double over with laughter.

"Yeah, yeah, have your laugh, Ms. Yang," said Owen with a hint of embarrassment as he scratched his head nervously.

"I'm sorry, Owen," she said, wiping a tear from her eye. She reached up and kissed him comfortingly on the mouth. Owen leaned in too. Well, at least she's having fun… even if it is at my expense.

"Let's go," Owen said, most of the embarrassment gone with the kiss and wrapped his arm around her waist. Owen kissed her wild black curls as they walked down the stairs to the train tracks.

"Aye, aye, G.I. Joe," Cristina said with a smile.

"Cristina, that's Navy talk," Owen chuckled.

"Oops!" Cristina cuddled closer to Owen as they arrived at the underground train tracks waiting for their train.

Review Please :) It's the only thing that keeps me writing! :D
