shadowknightTitle: Ring in the Holiday (AKA: “OMFG ALARM CLOCKS”)
Rating: PG
Universe: Home
Timeline: Valentine's Day, 2008.
Written: Valentine's Day, 2008.
Summary: Just a bit of banter between Rick and Nance. To get the joke here, you must first understand that Nance takes great pride in hacking up the X-Mansion's computer systems, including messing around with their computer-controlled alarm system. Based on the prompt Patience.
“I hate holidays.”
The shrill ding filled the bedroom. The hallway. Probably most of the house, unless Devon was smart enough to soundproof his office.
“Eh, holidays where I'm supposed to give things. I always forget.”
Nan-Cy stared up at the bedroom ceiling; it was completely unremarkable, but provided a focal point other than the alarm clocks blaring in the background.
“I'm supposed to get nice things on these sort of days. Candy, maybe flowers. Some sort of shiny bobble at the very least.”
“The last time you got flowers, they ended up in a potpourri bomb that exploded in the kitchen and the whole place smelled like roses for weeks!”
Nan-Cy turned her head to the doorway and sized up Rick. There wasn't much to size up, but it was worth a defiant gesture before she glared up at ceiling again.
“It was a brilliant plan! It wasn't the plan's fault that nobody involved with in had chemistry knowledge beyond high school.”
“I do! I just... chose not to use it.”
“A likely story! Much like that lovely little letter that I got that said someone would be sharing their love with me today. What do I get? Buzzing alarm clocks! And that better not you snickering.”
“Oh, I'd never stoop so low as to laugh at a situation like this.”
“Right, right.”
“So, are we going out today?”
Nan-Cy grit her teeth.
“Must fight the alarm oppression.”
“Bonnie said that it could take hours to figure out the coding here. Last I saw, she was actually working outside in KITT to avoid to noise. Mike took himself out on a long walk. I'd suggest we'd do the same.”
“That would be giving in! Showing that I have no backbone to deal this! I must prove I'm the better half and anyone who dares challenge me will bow before my wrath.”
Nan-Cy though she heard a sigh behind her. She didn't bother looking to check.
“There's snow outside.”
“Fine, let me get my coat.”
