Mal calls Natara but all he gets is voicemail. "Hi this is Natara! Leave a message at the beep! BEEP!" "Hey Nat! I just wanted to know if umm... you wanted to go for some drinks later. Give me a call back bye!" Mal hangs up. He walks in the bedroom and leaps onto the bed; he then goes to sleep, safe and sound.
((A little while later.))
Mal hears a "PRINGGGGG!" which wakes him up and he grabs the phone. "Hey Mal! I got your voicemail. Meet me at Rusty's in ten?"
"Sure! Sounds good, Nat. See you there! Bye!" Mal hangs up. He gets up and drives to Rusty's slowly. He walks in and looks for Natara.
"Mal! There you are!" Natara hugs you.
"Hey chick-a-dee!"
Natara smiles. "Sounds like something Kai would say, maybe you've been hanging around him to much?"
Mal grins. "Yeah. I sure have." Mal and Natara sit down at the bar.
"Hmm... maybe coors lite beer?" Mal then turns to Natara. "What would you like? Drinks are on me well, later they'll be." He smiles. Natara laughs. "Nice one, again." She thinks for a second. "I'd like a little bit of wine, that's all." Natara says softly.
((A few drinks later.))
"Remember that time you punched that guy in the face? That was awesome!" Mal says with excitement.
"Heehee, thanks." Natara blushes. "You ain't so bad yourself."
Mal smiles. "You're welcome and thanks.. So Nat I've been wanting to say something for a while and don't want to hold it in no more."
"Yeah...?"
"Well, ummm... Let me just say this. I.. I love you! Since I met you I had this bond with you that me and nobody else had before. Natara Mansingh Williams, I love you! You're the only thing that matters... to me."
Natara blushes. "I thought you'd never say, I was tired of holding it in and wondering if you ever loved me. I wanted to be a princess for once and have my prince, like a fairytale." She leans in for a kiss. Mal leans in and then their lips are touching, pressed together.
"Mmmm... Mal." Natara smiles. "And this ain't the alcohol talking."
"Heh, same. That felt good." Mal says with courage and happiness out of his heart. "Would you like to spend the night er, like a boy-girl slumber party?"
Natara smiles. "I love slumber parties! Mind if I invite Neha and Amy? Maybe some others?" Natara laughs and pushes Mal playfully. They go back to Mal's apartment, they talk for awhile then eventually fall asleep.
