The punch was ready. The decorations were up: paper snowflakes that had been falling and given to Alex by the Doctor earlier in the week, a home made Happy New Year sign, some balloons that Alex had found while in town. For the last two days, Alex had set to work getting her and Gene's new flat ready for the party. Furnature had been pushed against the wall leaving the middle of the living area open for talking, dancing or music. It had taken several hours before Alex had proclaimed the preparations complete.
It should only be a few more minutes before people starting arriving. Alex glanced around, a glass of wine in her hand as she glanced at the bedroom door, waiting for Gene to step out. It had been a long year, longer than normal if one added on the extra months they'd had to live again one arriving here. Gwen had died and returned. New friends had been made, lost and then made again... New Years had only started making a difference to Alex after she'd been shot. After that point, every year was another year lost. Now, it was different. Now it was another year found.
"Five hours to midnight. Shall we see what mischief we can get into before then?" she asked the wine and the flat with a small smile as she waited for Gene to exit the bedroom and their guests to arrive.
