This isn't a long fic, in fact it was one of the first ones I wrote, Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this fic.

The following weekend they had a barbeque organised for everyone in Dancing On Ice and a few other friends, Karen and Chris were very excited because a lot of the people that were going to come they had not seen them in quite a long time, and had a lot to catch up on. There was a lot to organise, and the whole thing had been planned for months. Chris was going to cook the food but Karen had bought everything they would need that morning, and spent a fortune, going very over the top with everything. Chris moaned at her for ages as he didn’t think they would need half the things that Karen had bought, but again she was just being prepared.
Jayne and Phil were the first to arrive, and Jayne and Karen stood in the kitchen chatting while Phil and Chris were in the garden with a pint of beer each. This was closely followed by Holly and Phil, Holly brought baby Belle with her, and Karen and Jayne were sharing cuddles with the beautiful baby for ages, whilst the three of them chatted and other guests began to arrive, including Hayley and Dan, very close friends to both Karen and Chris.
Suddenly the girls noticed a bit of a haze coming over them…Karen turned round with the baby still in her arms, to see the bush in the corner up in flames, and clouds of smoke drifting from it.
Oh Lord… she thinks to herself, she got up quickly and handed the baby back to Holly, rushed into the kitchen and filled a bucket full of water, ran back out into the garden and threw it over the flames, instantly killing them. Meanwhile Chris’s shorts have caught fire without him noticing because he was standing there chatting with the other men with the tongs in his hand… so Karen went up behind him catching him by surprise by slapping him round the back of the thighs with the tea towel to put it out; this caused the tongs to come flying out of his hands, he tripped over the barbeque which sends all the others into hysterics because they were all gathered around watching him. Luckily Karen lent in and caught him just in time before he hit the ground, so she helped him up and they had a cuddle and romantically strolled back into the house to get some clean shorts for Chris and to get him cleaned up.
While they had disappeared everyone was talking about how adorable they are together as a couple and so cute together. Meanwhile upstairs they have got a little distracted and carried away, Jayne comes up startling them both. Karen snaps back to reality, jumps up, quickly smoothes over her hair before making her way downstairs with Jayne. Both of them were now very giggly sneaking into the kitchen as if they had been there the whole time, and Chris followed them down a few minutes later, with a guilty look straight across his face.
He got back out into the garden to realise the burgers were burning - no one else had paid any attention to what was cooking. He hurriedly got them off the barbeque and everyone rushed over and helped themselves. Kaz has also prepared a beautiful salad with the most mouth watering dressing for everyone which was gone in no time, it was thoroughly enjoyed.
Everyone had a great time and the evening flew by, with lots of laughs and memories shared, they all wished they got together more often. It was something that was made more special because it happened so rarely, so in a way it was a good thing it only occurred on occasions.
