    Cold clouds seemed to drift over the icicle covered hotel, it was in fact the first day of Christmas break, December 19th, Dennis was so busy hanging baubles for Papa Drac he didn't notice the ladder was shaking.

    "Wah!" He said slipping off the ladder.

    He flopped on the floor, breaking his arm.

    "Zing zing!" Winnie called bounding towards him.

    "Ow." Dennis said as Winnie tackled him.

    "Sorry, your arm though, didja hurt it?" She said feeling it.

    "Hehe, yeah i guess i forgot i can fly." Dennis said shrugging.

    "You can't be in a sling for christmas!" Winnie said ears drooping. "I was hoping we'd dance at the Christmas ball!"

    "Hey how do you even know about that? That was a surprise!" Dennis said with an upset look.

    He looked behind Winnie to see Dracula waving knowingly before turning away.

    "Ugh, help me up?" Dennis asked.

    "Magic word?" Winnie said.

    "Please?" Dennis guessed.

    "Wrong!" Winnie said sticking a tongue out.

    "*Sigh* My zing?" Dennis said blushing.

    "Yes!" Winnie said giving him her hand.

    "You know you're a real piece of work you got that?" Dennis said in a salty tone as he lightly elbowed her with his good arm.

    "I know, but you still love me right?" Winnie said giving him her big puppy dog eyes.

    "You know i love you, I love you more then anything this world has to offer," Dennis said kissing her cheek. "And don't worry about the arm, vampires heal fast, i should be ready to go by Christmas morning."

    "Good, i love when your arms are around me." Winnie said rubbing a paw up and down his chest as they made their way to the infirmary.

    "Hopefully one will suffice for now," Dennis said putting a hand behind her back to hold her close. "The day will come when i have my arms around you day in and day out."

    "How about night in and out?" Winnie whispered kissing behind his ear.

    "Oh look! We're here!" Dennis said changing the subject.

    After a couple of hours he had his arm reset, and it was already healed a good deal, but it felt quite tender.

    "Doctor's orders, cast can be removed tonight, but no liftin until christmas mornin'" the accented receptionist said.

    "Well that's good, do you think watching a movie together would be strenuous?" Winnie asked.

    "I guess not, but no tricks." Dennis said eyeing her with a knowing look.

    "What tricks would i have up my sleeve?" She said putting her hands behind her back.

    "Oh i don't know," Dennis said putting his hands on her hips. "Maybe this mistletoe you have in your pocket.

    He pulled out the little berry bush she had sneakily hidden.

    "You seem to forget your now hanging the mistletoe over me and you." Winnie said grinning.

    Dennis grinned to and kissed her putting his hands back on her hips, not knowing that Winnie inbetween kisses stole the mistletoe back, prepared for her next act.

     "So, what should we see?" Dennis asked leading her back to his room.

    "How about Gift of the Magi?" Winnie asked resting her head on his shoulder. "I always loved that story."

    "Promise not to shave your head like the wife? I was never fond of chihuahuas." Dennis joked which had Winnie elbow him snickering.
