Seasonal snippets.
(aka more musings from my sick and twisted mind)
Notes - since this is a 'fun-fic' I've
ignored a lot of Season 7, but there are some spoilers.
--------------------
Kerry sighed as she looked at her notes, "So you started an
I.V. of Dilantin on the patient?" The figure in front of her
nodded.
"And you didn't tell her that it was going to sting as it
went in?" There was another nod.
"And she wasn't very happy about this?" This was
answered by a muffled grunt.
"So she ripped out the I.V... and threw the I.V. bag at you?"
-------------------
"You know Dave," said Carter patronizingly. "If
you're going to send Valentines Day cards to all the girls you're
dating, it's usually a good idea to get a few different designs..."
He paused for effect. "Especially if you're sending them to
twin sisters."
"Just shut up and unlock the door," came the muffled
reply.
Carter looked at Dave's locker, from where the reply had come.
"You know, Haleh was in here before me...why didn't you ask
her to let you out?"
Dave mumbled something that Carter couldn't catch. "What was
that Dave?" he asked as he fiddled with the lock. The door
swung open to reveal Dave wearing only a pair of boxer shorts.
"Ah..." said Carter.
------------------
"And then she took the I.V. tubing and tied you up with it?"
said Kerry. The figure in front of her nodded. "Oh, that
came after she ripped open the saline with her teeth? Okay."
Kerry crossed something out on her pad and wrote in something
else.
--------------------
"And then...then I buried my family and came to America,"
said Luka, a sorrowful expression on his face.
"Oh that's so sad," said Chuny, patting his hand.
"Listen, if you ever want to talk...or anything...you just
give me a call." She quickly scribbled her number on a piece
of paper and handed it to him. Kissing him quickly on the cheek,
she headed back to work.
Luka waited until she was out of sight before grinning widely and
punching the air in jubilation. Let's see, he thought to himself
as he carefully put Chuny's piece of paper in the pocket of his
lab-coat, tucking it neatly with all the others, three ER nurses,
two from OB, and that scrub nurse called Shirley. "I should
have tried this a long time ago," he said to himself as he
headed down the hall.
-----------------------
"So she took your thermometer and stuck it where?"
There was a muffled reply. "I hope she didn't break it,"
said Kerry. There was an indignant yelp. "Well they're
expensive..."
-----------------------
Peter was standing at the admit desk when Cleo came up to him and
threw her arms around. Kissing him on the cheek, she said, "Oh
Peter, that was so sweet of you...the roses and the chocolate...I
can't believe it...and here was me thinking you'd forgotten about
Valentines Day."
Peter's jaw dropped as Cleo went on, "And I just know that
the dinner is going to be wonderful," she said.
"Dinner?" yelped Peter.
"Why yes...the dinner you promised me in the card,"
said Cleo, a puzzled expression appearing on her face.
"Oh yeah...the dinner," said Peter. "Yeah...it'll
be good...um, can you just excuse me for one minute..." He
kissed Cleo quickly on the cheek and set off for the lounge at a
run.
Jing-Mei watched him scurry away before turning to Cleo. "Dr.
Benton got you flowers and chocolates <and> he's taking you
out to dinner?"
"Hell no," said Cleo. "I knew he'd never think of
doing anything like that, so I sent them to myself...now he's
probably ringing round all the restaurants trying to book a table
for two." She smiled smugly.
"Girl, I like your style," said Jing-Mei admiringly.
-----------------------
"So after I put his details onto the computer, I just
checked to see if he had a criminal record," said Frank to
Luka.
"You checked to see whether the Bishop had a criminal
record?" asked Luka, shocked.
"Well, yeah," said Frank. "I mean, those guys go
round wearing dresses all the time...you can't be too careful."
The Bishop looked at Luka and then looked at Frank before saying,
"That'll do pig."
-----------------------
"So after she pulled out the thermometer, she did what?"
asked Kerry. There was a barely audible reply. "She did
<what> with the sternal saw?" "Mumble mumble."
"Oh, she cut your scrub top off." Kerry looked at the
pieces of cloth on the floor. "Mmm, I must say, she did a
very neat job..." There was another yelp of indignation.
"Oh stop complaining Abby," said Kerry, looking at the
trussed up nurse on the floor. "You got off lightly. Now, I
<would> untie you...but I'm afraid it's time for my break...I'll
be back in ten minutes...maybe..." She left the room.
---------------------
Carter sat on a chair in the Lounge staring gloomily at his watch.
Dave and Mark watched him unobtrusively from a corner.
"He's been like that for ages man," said Dave. "He
seems to be counting down to something."
"Any idea what?"
Dave shrugged, "I dunno."
"Four, three, two, one..." said Carter, looking at his
watch as the numbers changed to 02.56. "Wahhhh," he
wailed. "Lucy's dead..."
Mark rolled his eyes. "Man, I can't believe he's still going
on about her. Carter, it's been a year...get over it already."
--------------------
"Dr. Weaver," said Haleh. "Have you seen Abby
anywhere?"
"Oh crap," said Kerry, "I forgot all about her...oh
well, another few minutes won't hurt." She went back to
watching Luka who was reaching down between a gap in the admit
desk.
"Are you sure that your keys are down here Kerry?" Luka
asked as he straightened up.
"Oh I'm certain," replied Kerry. "You might need
to stretch down a bit further."
Luka sighed and reached down again.
Kerry sighed as she watched his muscles strain. Abby could
definitely wait another few minutes.

Authors note. The 'Dilantin incident' was inspired by Ellen's
comments about what she would have done if <she> hadn't
been warned that Dilantin would sting.
The Carter at 02.56 was inspired by a post on a.t.e. months and
months ago speculating on how Carter would cope with Valentine's
day (if deja was still working, I'd find out who exactly to
credit, but it isn't, so I can't.)
