Song: Baby it's Cold Outside, cover by Doris Day and Dean Martin

"I can't do this weather, Jenna." Juan stated from within his blanket burrito. "I don't know how northerns live like this all the time."

Jenna raised a brow, "Well, they do have summer weather, right?"

"But they live like this for part of year!" He cried out. "How horrible!"

Jenna shook her head, "And I thought that I wasn't gonna be able to handle Michigan weather. Honestly, Juan we can't stay cooped up in the hotel all day. I haven't see the other girls in forever, and I wanna go meet Thoavy in Detroit. She wants me to relieve her of the Italian duo." She giggled slightly when she came up with "Italian duo" on the spot.

She grabbed a winter coat and put a knitted hat on her head, and Juan scrambled up. "No, don't leave me here!" He begged her, rolling off the bed before crawling forward and picking himself up, grabbing the Texan's hand. "It's too cold out!"

She sighed, shaking her head, "I really can't stay."

Mexico frowned. "Baby, it's cold outside."

Jenna glared at him, attempting to take her hand out of his grip, "I've got to go away."

"Baby it's cold outside."

"This evening has been,"

"Been hoping that you'd drop in."

"So very nice."

Juan grabbed ahold of Jenna's free hand, "I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice."

Jenna rolled her eyes. "My mother will start to worry."

"Beautiful, what's your hurry?"

"My father will be pacing the floor..."

"Listen to the fireplace roar." Juan gestured to the fireplace that didn't exist.

"So really I'd better scurry."

Juan went to the mini fridge and grabbed out a can of Sprite, offering it to her, "Beautiful, please don't hurry."

"Well, maybe just a half a drink more." She smiled, and cracked open the pop, taking a drink.

"Put some records on while I pour." Juan winked playfully.

Instantly, her smile dropped to a frown, "The neighbors might think-"

"Baby, it's bad out there!"

"Say, what's in this drink?" She attempted to distract him.

"No cabs to be had out there."

"I wish I knew how,"

He leaned in closer, "Your eyes are like starlight."

She flushed, turning away, "To break this spell!"

He smiled, reaching up and snatching off her hat, causing her hair to crackle with static and stick up, "I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell!"

She attempted to flatten the mess, "I ought to say no, no, no sir..."

He took a step forward, his brown eyes glinting with a teasing light, "Mind if I move in closer?"

She turned her back to him, "At least I'm gonna say that I tried."

He laughed, leaning forward and peering into her face, "What's the sense in hurting my pride?"

She began away again, "I really can't stay..."

He frowned, grabbing her shoulder, "Baby, don't hold out."

They looked at each other, Jenna's face turning red as Juan's lips twitched at the edges, but he was attempting to look serious. "Baby it's cold outside..."

She shook her head, setting down the pop on the counter, "Seriously, Juan, I promised Thaovy I'd be there. I have to go."

"Jenna, you won't last a minute in that tundra." Juan warned.

Jenna glared at him, "This is not a tundra. This isn't even the northern part of the state. It'll be fine." She promised, but Juan grabbed her hand again. She rolled her eyes, "I simply must go..."

"But baby, it's cold outside."

She glared, "The answer is no."

"But baby, it's cold outside."

"This welcome has been-"

"How lucky that you dropped in!"

"So nice and warm..."

He smiled, gesturing to the window, "Look out the window at that storm." It was grey, but there was not even a single drop of precipitation.

She frowned, "My sister will be suspicious."

"Gosh, your lips look delicious."

She covered her mouth, "My brother will be there at the door."

He grabbed both of her hands, initiating a slow dance with her. "Waves upon a tropical shore..."

"My maiden aunt's mind is vicious."

He moved forward, pecking her quickly on the lips, causing her face and neck to flush bright red as danced away. "Oh, your lips are delicious." He teased.

"Well, maybe just one dance more..." She sang softly, though she looked to the door.

Juan's smile widened, and he took up her offer, taking her hand and spinning her slowly. "Never such a blizzard before."

She sighed, "I gotta get home..."

"But baby, you'll freeze out there!"

She giggled slightly, "Say, lend me a coat."

"It's up to your knees out there!"

"You've really been grand,"

"I thrill when you touch my hand."

"But don't you see?"

Juan faked a sob, "How can you do this thing to me?"

Jenna sighed, "There's bound to be talk tomorrow..."

"Think of my life long sorrow,"

"At least there will be plenty implied..."

"If you caught pneumonia and died!"

"I really can't stay."

"Get over that old doubt!"

"Aww, but it's cold outside!" They sang together, and Juan's face lit up.

"So you'll stay in with me?" He asked hopefully.

She sighed, "Yeah, it's a bit cold out for me."
