NO ONE IS EVER LATE!!!!!

[From the outside, the Pie Hole hasn't changed much, though the window is draped in elaborate snowflake-shaped lights, but inside is a whole other story. Zatanna has made quite a spectacle of the place, a huge banquet hall filled with long and short tables for enjoying your meal with any number of friends. And the decorations are outrageous. Ned's Christmas decorations, which were already over-the-top have all been magically enhanced and Thanksgivingsized like little crystalline pumpkin baubles and overspilling cornucopia on each buffet table, lined up in front of the kitchen. Ned is firmly putting his foot down this year: no one is to enter his kitchen but Zee or himself.

He'll be serving regular pie menu as well as breakfast (frittatas) until twelve noon at which point there will be an hour or two for people to arrive and mingle. The food will be out by 1:30-2 pm and dessert to be served at 3 pm. Ned just wants everyone to have a great day so come in and make yourself at home!! There are a few kegs as well if you all didn't listen and byob...]

My only hope is it's the good sort of adult and not the traumatising sort.

[hexappeal]

[She bites her bottom lip and slowly lets it slide from behind her teeth.] I hope it's better than good, babe.

[doubleoohbaby]

Expect only the best and I'll do the same for you.

[hexappeal]

I'd be disappointed if you didn't. [She leans in to just barely brush her lips over his. This is public, after all. Might as well make him sweat.]

[doubleoohbaby]

[He's quick to lean in and try to catch just a bit more of that kiss. He'd really rather a full out making out session, but he supposes kids are present...] When have I ever disappointed.

[Beat.] Don't answer that.

[hexappeal]

[As much as she enjoys teasing him, she'll really have to decline for this round. Not really because of the kids so much as Ned. The poor guy can't handle all of this alone. They can ruin Christmas by slipping away for a quickie, however!!]

Afraid of what I might say, darling?

[doubleoohbaby]

Not so much afraid as just not wanting to hear it. It ruins my ego.

[He totally needs to think he's insanely awesome at all times.]

[hexappeal]

That only makes me want to say it more.

[doubleoohbaby]

Another reason for me to leave early.

[hexappeal]

If that's what you want. Like I said, I'm not going to force you to stay, James.

[doubleoohbaby]

If it'll keep my ego in tact.

[hexappeal]

Dunno, your ego can be a very fragile thing.

[doubleoohbaby]

It is where you're concerned.

[hexappeal]

Well, I happen to like you quite a bit, so I'll stroke it anytime.

Assuming you ask nicely.

[doubleoohbaby]

I can't exactly argue with a promise like that.

[hexappeal]

Good. I wasn't going to let you argue, anyway.

[doubleoohbaby]

But I like arguing.

[hexappeal]

I know, honey. I know.

[doubleoohbaby]

[Sigh.] You're the only one who truly understands me.

[hexappeal]

[She playfully pats him on the shoulder a few times in a teasingly condescending way.] It's alright.

We both know that the only reason I understand is because I'm often the same.

[doubleoohbaby]

You're much worse.

[hexappeal]

If by "worse," you mean "better," then yes. Yes, I am.

[doubleoohbaby]

I'm pretty sure I just mean worse as in worse.

[hexappeal]

If you're trying to start a fight, it's not going to work.

[doubleoohbaby]

I'm really not, darling.
