The next morning was Christmas day.

Molly slowly opened her eyes and tried to remember why she was so happy. Then she felt something warm pressed against her. Turning over she was overjoyed that she hadn't had a dream, her only love had returned to her!

Nephrite was sleeping in her bed clutching her close to him. Frightened that it was a dream she would soon wake from, she tenderly kissed his lips.

He groaned and opened his eyes. Had it all been a dream and he was still dead? No, there was her smiling face. His only love. "Molly."

"Don't let me wake up." Molly sighed. She forgot how beautiful his eyes were.

"Same here babe." Nephrite combed his fingers through her silky hair. He didn't have a chance to touch it before. How soft and shiny it was.

"Are the two of you finally awake? After all it is Christmas, and it looks like either Molly was sneaky last night or there is such a thing as Santa Claus and someone snuck all three of us on his good list." Zoicite chuckled.

She had not felt this good in ages! It wasn't just because she was finally able to walk again, she felt free. It was a feeling she had never felt in all of the years she had been ruled by Beryl.

Looking over at her love, she saw that the feeling was obviously mutual. He was smiling so beautifully, and there was merriment deep in his eyes she hadn't seen in years.

"On our way out." Nephrite called out, and then looked slyly at Molly. "Now what did Zoicite mean by that, my love?"

"Oh, well the three of you were out of it. So, Amy stayed and watched over the three of you while the rest of us did last minute gift shopping for you three. And maybe Santa did get the last minute add-ons to his list?" Molly did her best impression of innocent, but joined in Nephrite's laughter quickly.

Once they got through all of the gifts and cleaned up the mess, Molly was on the phone with her boss.

"Mr. Mori? Yeah, it's Molly Baker. I know you wanted me in the office an hour ago, but an emergency came up and I just got up. No, sir. Actually I'm calling to quit. After that scene you gave at the party the other night? I don't think so! Goodbye!" Molly slammed the receiver down hard.

Zoicite applauded along with the men. "I must say that you have gotten some more spunk since I saw you last."

"Well, I had you three here giving me some strength as well." Molly blushed as Nephrite pulled her into his arms.

Only then did she notice him holding something above her head. Mistletoe!

"Well, I heard that there is something you have to do now that I have caught you under this little green plant with white berries." Nephrite innocently informed a blushing Molly.

Without skipping a beat she plunged him into a deep and hungered kiss. Malachite grinned over at Zoicite and winked. "Mind if I borrow that little plant, Nephrite?"

"Here you go, Malachite." Nephrite grinned as her tossed it over to the silver haired former general. Then, with a dirty smirk on his face, produced a second bough of the plant! "I always carry a spare."


Short, I know. But, I can't help it – I have writer's block and battling muses to deal with here! Any ideas?
