“What the hell has gotten into you” Arizona shoved Mark hard in the chest as she began telling him off. Cristina gave a small snort when Mark whimpered at being hit by Arizona.
“And you, since when are you his lap dog?” that comment snapped Cristina out of her happy place and her face was quickly replaced by her usual surly expression.
“Jesus Robbins. We were just standing here. Is that a crime now?” Mark was rubbing his chest and for a split second Arizona felt bad for hurting him but then realised who it was she was feeling sorry for and the moment passed, quickly.
“Don’t B.S me Mark. You were throwing your weight around like a big bully” Mark opened his mouth to speak but was stopped by Arizona raising her hand.
“No Mark. I don’t want to hear it. Leave Erica alone. Let Calliope fight her own battles, okay?” Arizona raises her eyebrows questioningly at Mark and when she is satisfied that he has gotten the message she turns on Cristina who hangs her head like a child who had just been reprimanded. Arizona smiles at the two of them standing there sulking. It really was very sweet of them to defend Callie’s honour but she’s a big girl and Arizona believed that it was in Callie’s best interest to handle this one on her own, with her friends taking a back seat and only stepping in when or if needed. Arizona dug her hands into her lab coat and pulls out two small colourful items.
“Okay then, here you go. One for you and one for you. Come up and see me when you’re done here, I need your help with something” Arizona grins cheekily as she hands both Mark and Cristina a lollypop. She watches as Mark stares at the lolly almost like he doesn’t know what it is or what to do with it. Cristina gives Arizona a sceptical look before shrugging her shoulders, ripping open the wrapper and shoving it in her mouth. Mark is watching Cristina in awe and when he sees that she’s enjoying it and nodding her head at Arizona who is smiling triumphantly he also rips his lolly open and shoves it in his mouth.
Arizona spins on her heels and heads for the door leaving Mark and Cristina standing there staring after and sucking on their lollypops, she hears Mark mumble to Cristina through a mouthful of lolly as she rounds the corner.
“This is like a bundle of sugary heaven on a stick”
“Mmm-hhhmmm” Cristina mumbles in agreement nodding her head enthusiastically.
Arizona giggles to herself knowing that the DR. Robbins lollypop ALWAYS works like a charm.
*********************************************************************************************************************
“That’s the consult Robbins needed?” Mark couldn’t hold back his laughter as he watched Erica Hahn enter a patients room dressed as an Elf.
“This is just too good for words” Cristina was also finding it hard to hold back her laughter.
“Oh this place is fantastic. Very entertaining” Teddy piped in giggling as Erica exited one room and entered another; Callie had arrived in the hallway just in time to notice Erica’s eccentric attire and was wearing a look of utter confusion.
“What just happened?” Callie couldn’t believe her eyes. Why would Erica be wandering around the PEDS ward wearing an Elf costume? Arizona suddenly appeared at the nurses’ station, she was wearing the Santa hat that Callie had bought her. Callie had seen it the other day when she was buying Arizona’s Christmas present and she just knew that Arizona would love it because of the way it lights up and if you press the top of it you can hear it sing Jingle Bells.
“Hahn has been Arizonafied!” Mark states simply with an enormous grin on his face, he’s doing everything in his power not to burst out laughing but it’s proving to be quite difficult. Owen, Cristina and Teddy seemed to be having just as much trouble controlling themselves.
“Yep” Owen manages through a snort of laughter.
“She’s been what?” Callie was definitely out of the loop on this one.
“It’s inescapable really” Teddy bites her lip to contain her giggles.
“Oh totally” Callie knew that Cristina would be enjoying this more than anyone else because of her history with Erica but she looked genuinely happy which was starting to freak Callie out a little bit because she had been looking like this a lot lately. It must be all the nifty new surgeries Arizona had been providing her with as practice for the upcoming surgery. Nothing makes Yang happier than cutting people open, even if they are tiny, irritating pudding loving people.
Callie was beyond confused by what they were talking about, it was clear that Arizona was behind the costume but why would she get Erica to dress up like a fool and most importantly HOW did she manage to do this?
“Well you see Torres, Goldie locks over there doesn’t always use those dimples for good” Mark was all red in the face now from stifling his laughter and his eyes were watering, Cristina and Teddy were holding their stomachs as if their laughter would make their belly’s burst. Just as Callie was about to ask what the hell was going on Derek interrupted her.
“Since when does Hahn play dress up?” Derek said with a hint of a giggle in his voice.
They all look up at Derek as if expecting him to know. Mark raises his eyebrow and nudges his head in the direction of Arizona.
“Really? She’s been Arizonafied? Wow, she’s good” Derek smiles admiringly in Arizona’s directions. Callie was getting frustrated by their lack of explanation as to what the hell was going on.
“Yep, the best. I think Lexie’s been picking up a thing or two” Mark almost immediately stopped grinning as he thought about how much his young girlfriend had been getting away with lately, knowing Arizona had to be at least subconsciously responsible.
“Well, best put a stop to that big guy” Derek gave Mark a sympathetic pat on the back as Erica walked out into the hallway again and caused the group to burst out laughing again. Erica noticed them this time and shot them a look that if this were a comic, would kill them all.
“Nice work Robbins” Derek calls out to Arizona and she wanders over to the still giggling group of surgeons.
“Thank you, but I don’t know why you’re all so happy about. You didn’t think you were going to get out of participating did you?” she smiles that dimply smile that is likely to be the death of them all. They all look horrified because they know exactly what’s coming.
“No, no I don’t think so Robbins. We have patients to see, lives to save” Mark got his excuse in first but the others nodded in agreement with Mark.
“You’re not even on duty Mark” Arizona had checked all of their schedules and none of them were busy for at least the next hour or so.
Mark shakes his head as if ashamed of himself for not thinking of a better excuse to get out of this, Cristina steps forward to speak but is swiftly silence by Arizona.
“Don’t you even think about resisting. I own you” Arizona narrows her eyes at Cristina but keeps her dimply grin intact.
With that Cristina slinks back down in defeat, knowing there really was no way out of this. Arizona did own her, she was teaching her and she was the only doctor in the hospital who could put up with her incessant mood swings so Cristina needed to keep the perky PEDS surgeon on her side even if it meant dressing up like an idiot. Cristina Yang loved surgery just that much; Arizona knew it and was taking full advantage.
“But I do have something for you Mark” Arizona pulled out a red lollypop from her pocket and held back a smile when she saw Mark’s eyes light up. He was still pretending to be mad but she knew he wouldn’t refuse her ‘sugary heaven on a stick’. She gently placed the lolly in the breast pocket of his lab coat but as she did so he put his hand out for more.
“It’s gonna take more than that Robbins” Mark waited expectantly with his hand out, Arizona pulled out another one and placed it in his hand.
“Nice try. Keep em’ coming” Mark gestures smugly for more lollypops as Arizona sighs and hands over the entire contents of her pocket to him, she only has a few left so he looks disappointed.
“Don’t look at me like that. That’s all I have left. Sorry Cristina, ask Mark” Arizona notices Cristina moving in for some lollies too but when she realises Arizona has none left she turns to Mark and tries snatching one from his grasp but she’s too slow.
“Back off Yang” Mark warns her as she tried to sneak the one from his chest pocket.
“Oh come on Sloan. I want some sugary heaven on a stick” Cristina whines at him but he simply shoves them all into his pocket smugly and slurps loudly on the one he is already eating. Then, as if on cue Brooke began sauntering down the hallway and sidled up next to a cranky Cristina, she was smiling brightly until she noticed that Arizona was holding a script in her hands and then the bright smile of a few seconds ago was replace by a look of horror.
“Tell me that’s some patient’s homework you’re doing Arizona and not what a think it is” Brooke was all too familiar with Arizona’s festive cheer. Growing up Arizona had used her powers of persuasion to coerce Brooke into a number of nativity plays and this year would be no different.
“Oh it’s what you think it is. This is going to be so fun, just like when we were kids” Arizona was doing everything she could to stop herself from jumping up and down.
“Hold on I have to think of a lie about why I can’t do it. Just give me a sec, it’ll come to me” Brooke replied sarcastically.
Arizona shot her sister a look that was very unlike the dimply smile she had used to coerce the others into participating, her new expression mirrored a Bailey type face more than her own but it seemed to be working.
“Or not” Brooke, just like all the others had given in to Arizona as she knew they all would.
“Fantastic! Okay so your costumes are waiting for you at your cubbies. Go get dressed and meet me back here in ten and I’ll explain everything” Callie couldn’t help but let a smile grace her face as she watched how truly excited her girlfriend was. Knowing how happy this would make Arizona almost made dressing up in a costume and pretending to be festive worth it, ALMOST.
The group of surgeons all turned on their heels and began heading towards their locker rooms but stopped in their tracks when they heard Mark’s voice scream.
“HOLD UP! If I’m gonna do this Robbins, I wanna be Santa” Mark took his lollypop out of his mouth and waved it in Arizona’s direction sternly, she couldn’t help but giggle.
“I thought you might say that, it’s in my office” Arizona saw a glint of excitement flash in Mark’s eyes as he shoved his lollypop back in his mouth and stormed off towards Arizona’s office.
The other surgeons also went on their merry way, leaving only Brooke and Arizona in the hallway.
“If I didn’t love you so much I’d throw you out the window” Brooke was now holding her hand out and Arizona knew it was because she wanted a lollypop, it made her giggle that Brooke had known Arizona still had more lollypops left, she really did know her better than anyone else ever could and her lollypops really did work wonders she thought to herself as she dug around in her pocket for another sweet to give her sister.
“Has anyone ever told you that you should write for Hallmark? They could really use someone like you because that was just beautiful” Arizona replied sarcastically handing Brooke a green lollypop that made her smile so wide Arizona thought her face might fall off.
“Yep, those guys have been after me for years but whilst cards are an important part of life I just don’t have time for it right now, what with world class surgeries to perform, babies to save” Brooke said smugly as she chomped down on the lollypop she had just ripped open. Arizona shook her head at her sister’s silliness; she really had missed hanging out with Brooke.
“Okay well go catch up with Mark, you’re costume’s in my office too” Brooke raised a curious eyebrow but seemed delighted by the fact she might catch Mark Sloan in the act of dressing. She began wandering down the hallway probably a little too quick to seem casual which was the look she was going for.
“Behave yourself” Arizona yelled to her sister who was now picking up speed, she waved her arm in the air to acknowledge she had heard Arizona but she didn’t turn around.
Arizona was getting really excited about Christmas now, usually she gradually built up her excitement over the whole months of December so as not to freak people out but since she hadn’t been able to participate in anything festive all month, she would cram all of the month’s festivities into the next few days.
