"Thank you for coming to the carnival with me." I smiled looking up at the handsome man I got to call my boyfriend.

"Anything for you." He said softly kissing the top of my head as we walked towards the bush carnival in the middle of town.

It was beautiful with twinkle lights everywhere, white snow covering the ground and trees, happy couples walking hand in hand and of course my beautiful boyfriend standing next to me.

"Let's go get cocoa." I said pointing at the red table Gypsy was standing behind while handing people hot chocolate.

"Your wish is my command." He joked as we walked up to her and got our hot drinks.

From the corner of my eye I spotted Dean being pulled all around the place by his sister Clara and Rory training behind them desperately trying to get Dean's attention.

"Look." I said to Jess nudging my head their way.

"Happy family." He smirked joking while looking at the little girl begging Dean for a snow cone.

"Come on, let's go play some games." I smiled leading him towards all the different stands.

We played lots of games and I of course won most of them, even if he might've lost on purpose I was still proud of my victories.

We'd been at the carnival for about an hour now and the sun had fully set and all the young children and their parents were going home. Now there were only adults, teens and a few older children.

I hadn't seen Rory for a while so I thought she had gone home but then I heard someone yelling my name.

"Matilda!" Yelled Dean walking closer with a very annoyed Rory and Tired Clara.

"Oh no." Mumbled Jess under his breath grabbing my hand and squeezing it lightly, giving me a slight sense of comfort.

"Hey Dean, Clara, Rory." I said putting on my best fake smile. I knew Rory could see right through it but it was more for her boyfriend and his sister anyways.

"Why does your hair stick up like that?" Clara asked Jess closely examining the top of his head.

Jess looked at me with a straight face making me chuckle slightly before remembering our company.

"So umm it's good to see you, but I've gotta get Clara to bed. See ya." Dean said with a tight smile not giving Jess a second glance.

"Bye Jess." Rory smirked waving at him before trailing behind Dean and Clara.

"Oh now she's just trying to piss me off." I scoffed watching them walk away.

"Oh yeah." He chuckled rubbing my shoulder as we walked the opposite direction.

"I really appreciate you coming." I smiled hugging his side.

He hugged me back kissing my forehead as the marching band started to play.

"Nice hat!" I yelled to Lane who looked as embarrassed as humanly possible.

"You're mean." Jess chuckled.

"You're pretty." I smiled looking back up at him and pressing my lips against his firmly.

"Hey, you wanna go back to Luke's?" He asked between kisses.

"Let's go." I said leading him towards the fairly empty diner.

"Hey Luke." I smiled as we walked through the door being met by the warmth of the radiators.
