"Who the hell did this!" Each of the aviators stood at attention the catalyst being the very angry Admiral Beau 'Cyclone' Simpson

Even Abigail and Maverick tensed at the screaming

"Did what sir?" Maverick asked "Why don't you ask your squad!" Cyclone yelled

"Abigail?" Maverick questioned

"I don't know what they did Sir, but I have a hunch it may involve a little bit of tinsel" Abigail pointed to not only the tinsel in Cyclone's hand and the little pieces of it stuck on his uniform and in his hair

"A little tinsel Miss Seresin? A little?" He asked "Why don't you follow me and find out exactly how much tinsel your team has decided to terrorise me with"

"I can assure you Sir, I do not take responsibility for the teams actions at any point" Abigail said calmly following at Cyclone's heels

The aviators murmured unsure if they should follow in case Cyclone completly blew up at Abigail

They decided that Cyclone was scarier then any chivalry they may have had

The entire base had Christmas decorations hung up and out in display, twinkling Christmas lights, wreaths on doors, tinsel strung on walls, small Christmas trees on every table, all radios changed to Christmas songs

Cyclone however wasn't a big Christmas guy, at all, like at all

"Oh my!" Abigail said in shock as Cyclone opened the door to his office

If Abigail had to guess at least 5 boxes worth of the big tinsel garlands strung up in various places of the office, not to mention the single strings of tinsel everywhere, an empty bucket laid on the floor near the door

"Is that how-?"

"Yes, Miss Sersin, that is how I got the tinsel in my hair" he said hands on his hips

"Find out who did it" he ordered stomping out of his office

Abigail looked around at the mass amount of tinsel in the Admiral's office laughing as she went to his desk where the small microphone for the speakers was

She pressed the button by the microphone "Can Lieutenants Robert Floyd, Jake Seresin, Bradley Bradshaw, Natasha Trace, Mickey Garcia, Javy Machado and Reuben Fitch please make their way to Admiral Simpson's office" she said taking her finger from the button before turning the microphone on again

"You as well Captain Mitchell" she ordered

Abigail stood waiting as the team filled the room each snickering or trying to hide their laughs

"Okay, who did it? Just tell me, they can clean it and write an apology to Simpson cause he's pissed" Abigail said

The team fell silent before Phoenix stepped forward "I did it"

Abigail raised an eyebrow "No you didn't" she said "I swear, I did" Phoenix insists

"Oh Phoenix, I know when people are covering, you're covering"

"Jake?" Abigail asked

"Hey! I didn't do it!" Jake shouted "Ask Rooster, Cyclone was complaining about the Christmas decorations"

"Me? Where would I get the time? When would I have done it? Your my alibi!" Rooster shouted

"Being pretty quiet over there Bob" Fanboy accused "Why would I risk trouble with the Admiral?" Bob asked

"I don't know why were you near the Admiral's office?" Fanboy asked

"Because I was going to ask Abigail something but she wasn't in her office" Bob defended

"Why are we arguing? Pheonix said she did it?" Payback spoke up "Because she's lying through her teeth, Who did it?" Abigail repeated

"You know Coyote's also been pretty quiet"

"Really? Cause you're being really accusational" Coyote shot back as the aviators started shouting

Abigail silently motioned for Maverick to walk over to her

Maverick stood by her side "Why'd you do it?" She asked

"How do you know I did?" Maverick asked suspiously

"An innocent man will scream his innocence to all who'll listen, a guilty man will sit silently and watch"

"John Douglas" Maverick said

"So why'd you do it?" Abigail repeated

"Well Cyclone complained about Rooster's Christmas singing and decorations so I thought he could use some cheer" Maverick snickered

"And now he's even more enraged"

"Okay everyone that's enough!" Abigail said loudly "I'm going to go speak with Cyclone and figure out what he wishes to do" she said leaving the office full of scared aviators

"Admiral Simpson!" Abigail caused as she rushed to catch up with him "Sir, Captain Mitchell tinseled your office, something about Rooster and singing" she told him

"Damned Maverick" Cyclone muttered "Thank you Abigail" he nodded leaving back down the hall

"Too early to ask for lunch?" Abigail flinched turning to see Bob stood by Cyclone's Office "Of course not" she smiled

Abigail closed the office door behind them "Don't let Rooster see this, he'll make it look like Hallmark threw up on it"

"I'm getting a mini Christmas tree! It's just not arrived yet" she defended

"So you figure who tinseled the office"

"Maverick" she said simply

"Oh so he's fine and untouchable" Bob shrugged

"Basically"

"Abigail" Bob said disappointed "Abigail, please, please, please, tell me that's not your breakfast" He said looking at the Bagels, berries and small dipping tub of peanut butter in the box

". . .Maybe, I didn't have time this morning" she defended

"How? How do you not have time? You have an alarm don't you?" Bob argued "Yeah but I stay in bed"

"Get out of bed on time! I don't care if you have doctor McDreamy in your bed, get yourself outta bed and eat breakfast"

"Ew, I wouldn't ever sleep with Derek, George maybe" Abigail grimaced

"He's whiny" Bob said shaking his head "I mean yeah, not after season 2 but before that he was kinda cute" she argued

The two continued discussing the show arguing about characters and storyline

"You watched the new season?" Bob asked

Abigail chuckled "No way, you think I have any time for that?" She asked

"Abigail Marie Seresin, I am souly disappointed in you, I am coming over to your this weekend and we are watching it"

"How the fuck do you know my middle name?" Abigail asked

"Jake told me" he said simply "Not the point, Grey's Anatomy"

"Okay fine, this weekend! You're bringing food though" she told him "Food, drinks, whole shabang"

"Don't say shabang, you have a lesson in 10" she said glancing at her laptop

"Shabang!" Bob repeated enthusiastically as he left her office

"Werido" Abigail chuckled going back to files and paperwork, now a new incident form to fill out
