Thanks for the sympathy and commiseration and advice in re. my last post, y'all. I appreciate it. *loves*

I'm feeling twitchy and REALLY need something to tear me away from refreshing fail_fandomanon every couple of minutes, so how about some drabble/ficlet prompts? Nothing too detailed, please - say, an object plus character or pairing. Can be holiday-themed or

“Hey, you folks want these last two slices of pie?” the waitress called out from the kitchen. She set a Styrofoam box on the ledge.

She was standing on the sidewalk, gazing up at the sky. It was unusually clear, and even with the light pollution from the town, Russ could see hundreds of stars. “Wow.”

She smiled, but kept her face tilted upwards. “I know, isn’t it beautiful? It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old,” she sang softly, then exhaled deeply. “As much as it wears me out, I love Christmas. It always make me feel so full of hope.” She lowered her chin to see Russ watching her intently. The warmth in his gaze was reflected in the heat that suffused her cheeks. “Don’t be too much of a Scrooge, okay? Maybe Kevin’ll invite you to spend Christmas with his family

I LOVE EEEEET! :D

You've got to think the whole town was rooting for them to get together, even Earla with her rhubarb pie. You've got their voices perfectly, too.
