Christmas Cupid Page #6

that I'd fell in love with?

What I was really scared of

is what if you hadn't changed

and all those feelings

came rushing back?

Patrick.

Sloane.

Come here.

Sloane!

Andrew? What... What

are you doing here?

Who's this guy?

This is my... boss,

Andrew.

Andrew,

this is Patrick.

Hey, how're you doing?

I was going to wait until

Christmas to do this, but, um...

Okay!

What's going on here?

Patrick, I am so sorry. I have

no idea what he is doing.

Sloane, this morning you told me that

the only way you would take me back

was that if I could prove

that I'm committed to you

and only you.

Is this proof enough?

Marry me.

What? Okay.

I don't know

what to say.

Say yes!

I can't believe

you did all this!

So, what do you say?

Yes!

SLOA Don't you love it?

It's beautiful.

Ah!

Beautiful.

Wow! It's perfect for you.

Are you happy?

I'm ecstatic.

We're getting married!

Sweet!

Still?

I thought you'd be gone.

Crossed over or whatever.

Why would you think that?

'Cause I heeded your warning

and changed my life.

Oh, my God,

it's a glacier!

Congratulations!

Now that is quite an improvement

on the last ring he bought you.

What are you

talking about?

That chip Patrick

bought you in the past.

Caitlin. I didn't choose Patrick.

I chose Andrew.

Well, good choice.

Come on! Look, I'm

going to have it all.

The perfect job, the perfect

husband the perfect life!

Yeah, well,

it won't be perfect.

You know, you haven't

changed your ways at all.

Not at all.

Hanging out by the

ladies' room, loser?

I came to find you.

Why, to congratulate

me on my engagement?

No, because

it's midnight.

So what?

Do you want to tell

her or should I?

Wait, you can see her?

Duh! I'm the last guy

that dumped you.

I dumped you. Whatever

makes you feel better.

Either way, I'm your most

recent ex-boyfriend.

Sloane, meet the Ghost

of Ex-mas Present.

Okay, so you're not

the real Jason,

you're just a spirit

that looks like him.

Bingo. And I get to show you

all the ways your bitchitude

affects those around you.

Ooh, nice one!

Thank you.

Awesome. This is so much more fun

than celebrating with my fiance.

Oh, you want to spend time with

the people you care about?

Well, guess what,

so does everyone else.

Don't cry, baby.

We'll still have

Christmas, just...

a day late.

Because Mommy has to

work on Christmas Day.

Meanie!

I know.

What? We all have to

make sacrifices for work.

But you only make them

when they benefit who?

Oh! You.

Hey, babe.

Sweetie, we should talk about

Christmas bonuses for the staff.

We'll be lucky

to pay them at all.

It's that bad?

It is.

You know,

maybe once Sloane's clients start

using their gift certificates,

business will pick up.

Don't hold your breath.

Oh! Oh, my God,

I forgot.

I'll just take care

of it tomorrow.

You're too late. The firm's

gift bags are packed today.

You missed

your chance.

At least I offered.

Oh, I'm sure that'll

be a comfort to them

when the business

goes under.

We're talking

about Sloane Spencer.

I don't know why you even

bother being friends with her.

She was my roommate

in college.

What do you

want me to do,

just stop speaking

to her altogether?

If that'll stop her

taking you for granted?

Then yes.

Ed...

Oh! That was fun!

You ready to go?

You're going to

be so handsome!

Oh! Hello?

Hey, baby. Bad news.

Uh, my business trip

got extended a few days.

I won't be back

tonight after all.

You're not coming home

for Christmas?

Sorry, Viv, but it's

a million dollar deal.

Tell you what,

buy yourself something pretty,

that'll cheer you up.

Hello again.

Well, she can just

spend the day with me.

I mean, no one wants to

be alone on Christmas.

You're going to be busy

working at Caitlin's party.

Unless you think your mom

is worth skipping it.

No,

I can't skip that,

I'll lose the promotion

for sure.

I'll just see her

on the 26th. Who cares?

Not you.

That's for sure.

I think you need

a little brother.

Purebred, show quality, wildly

expensive little brother.

All right, one more look

at Ex-mas Present to go.

I just heard we're doing six

days on location in Mexico.

Are you happy?

Hell, yeah! I'm ecstatic!

We're getting married!

Sweet!

You're damn right, it's sweet.

It's fantastic.

I don't believe it. He was on

the phone the entire time?

Yep.

Hurts when someone you care

about ignores you, huh?

So, why are you

showing me this?

This isn't me doing anything wrong.

I'm the victim here!

No, you're not.

He is.

Patrick.

God, he left?

Guess he doesn't

like threesomes.

I can't believe I didn't

even notice him leave.

Wait, why are we

watching this?

To try and make you realize that

your actions have consequences.

If you go on treating

people like this,

you're going to

end up alone.

That's what I meant by

changing your ways, Sloane.

Fine. I'll call everyone

and apologize.

It's going to take

more than words, Sloane.

All right. Well, Caitlin's party is

in exactly 33 hours and 10 minutes.

So, once that's done, I'll

make nice with everyone, okay?

Oh! She's going to make

nice with everyone.

Hmm, imagine that.

You just don't

get it, do you?

Hi, Patricagain.

I really need to talk to

you, so can you call me?

Bye.

Still not

calling you back, huh?

Some people are so

inconsiderate these days.

I feel like I haven't

slept in three days.

Well, you've been running around with

ghosts all night, what'd you expect?

I, on the other hand,

feel better rested than I

have in my entire life!

Hmm. Death'll

do that to you.

How you doing, babe?

I'm upset. I got in a

fight with someone,

and I'm not sure how to

make things right with him.

Well, get him a basket of pears

from Harry and David or something.

We can't afford to lose anymore

clients now that Caitlin's gone.

He's not a client. He's...

A guy I knew in college.

Oh! So no biggie.

But it is.

He's my friend.

I think I hurt

his feelings and...

Babe, I'm, I'm sorry. I'm

really under the gun here.

Can we talk

about this later?

Oh, sure, I guess.

I'll tell you what.

Go out and buy yourself something pretty.

It'll cheer you up.

Thanks.

You guys are going to

have an awesome marriage.

Oh, my God.

I am trying, okay?

I can't fix a lifetime's worth

of relationships in one day.

Well, try harder.

Hey, Jenny! It's Sloane.

Hey, sweetie, I've got my hands full.

Can I call you back?

I really need

to talk to you.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just...

It's just

I've been thinking.

I know that my work has been taking

up a lot of my attention lately,

and I just wanted

to tell you...

9-1-1!

I need to call you back.

Ella, what's wrong?

I was watching the DVD of

Caitlin's career retrospective

and it includes the COPS episode

where Caitlin got arrested

for shoplifting

herpes medicine.

Okay, that whole thing

was so not my fault.

What? I was gonna pay for it, but

the pharmacy guy was smoking hot!

Okay, you want me to go
