Two weeks later, Christmas eve 1997,

Mrs and Mr Anderson left a few days ago back to Miami Florida, tired of the cold New York weather and craving the heat back home 

Gail was at a Christmas party with some collegues leaving Michael and Tracee to celebrate Christmas eve with just the two of them at the penthouse 

They decorated the place a little a few days ago and enjoyed a candle lit dinner in the livingroom 

"Let's hope we'll have a Christmas miracle" Tracee mentioned cuddling up to her husband while they watched a Christmas movie on tv  

"That would be wonderful" Michael replied and sweetly kissed her only to be interuppted by some heavy knocking on the front door 

"Ugh please I hope Gail didn't order a Santa or is playing Santa" Tracee sighed while she got up from the couch 

"I'll go" Michael mentioned and made his way to the door 

"Surprise!" Tracee's friends smiled 

"What are--- how???" Tracee gasped hearing her friends and welcomed them in

"What are--- how???" Tracee gasped hearing her friends and welcomed them in 

"Duh a plane and a taxi" Michelle answered while they all made themself comfortable on the couch  "Jenna almost missed the flight tho" She shook her head at Jenna

"You said eight not seven thirty" Jenna defended herself 

"Wouldn't y'all like to spend the holidays with your families?" Michael mentioned not really being in the mood for all Tracee's friends at the same time, only Will was missing right now 

"What family? My folks don't do holidays too much drama and my other half spends it with his family and I'm not in the mood for his parents" Michelle answered shrugging her shoulders  

"I'm not dating at the moment" Aimy and Nicole answered  

"My family is visting family in Japan right now but I had to work till yesterday so I couldn't join them" Jenna answered  

"We're more fun anyway" Michelle mentioned 

-- Sometime later, 

While Tracee was catching up with the girls, well mostly Michelle was talking and Nicole or Aimy putting in their opinions too Michael decided to give them some room and enjoy his glass of wine he managed to save before the girls drink it all, outside on the balcony overlooking the with snow covered from earlier city when Jenna joined him outside 

"I've heard their stories already on the plane and they're always about an ex" Jenna mentioned rolling her eyes and finished her tea 

"Girl's right?" Michael asked 

"Yeah" Jenna sighed "We didn't ruin any of your guy's plans did we? I told Michelle we should've called you guys but she said no it would be ok to just drop by un-announced" Jenna explained
