"So listeners, this is Ray Brennan's last day as my co host for the show,
after today it will be called the McGrath show, that is until I find
someone as a worthy replacement for my good old friend Ray. Many of you may
be wondering what Ray's plans are, well Ray, would you like to clue the
listeners in?" Robbie started out.
"Yes, Robbie, thank you." Ray began "Many of you know that I got engaged several months ago, to the beautiful and tal."
"Talented Lily Randall" Robbie said cutting him off "We know, we know, Ray, moving on!"
"Ok then," Ray said "So I'm engaged, my fiancé, and I have recently gotten a place in Toronto and plan to be all moved in by the end of the week, now I know Roscoe isn't far from Toronto, and I could possibly drive back and forth, but I have decided that Toronto is where I want to be, so I am going to start over fresh with the love of my life there. I don't know if I will start classes at a college, continue my career in radio or pursue my writing dreams, but keep your eye out for me, expect big things."
"And we all wish you, and Lily the best of luck in your futures together, really I hope that one day B and I will be as happy as you and Lily are." Robbie stated "Our lines are now open to our listeners, if you have anything to say to the Ray-man, say it now or forever hold your peace!"
"Angie, your on the air." Ray said into his mic
"Umm..Hi!" Angie began "I have listened to this show, since like day one, it was great with just Robbie, but you Ray brought a lot into the show, and I just want to say, Thanks, you have made my days so much more enjoyable and the show won't be the same without you. Good luck to both you and Lily and Robbie too."
"Thanks Angie, your well wishes are much appreciated." Robbie said, "we've been getting a lot of calls about a wedding date, can you tell us more about that Ray?"
"No" Ray stated "We want to get settled into our new lives in Toronto, then we will sit down and discuss things, I want something simple and quick, but it's always been my fair ladies dream to have a nice Saturday afternoon event, so what she wants, she gets, but I promise I will keep you all updated."
"And now as Porky Pig would say, that's all folks, tune in tomorrow for a special broadcast, as we take the time to reflect on our days with Ray." Robbie said laughing.
"And this has been The Brennan and McGrath show, thanks for listening." Ray said ending the show
Lily sat in Ray's tiny apartment in downtown Roscoe, she was carefully packing his cartoon character memorabilia into a cardboard box, she looked down in her hand as it cradled the figurine of Bugs Bunny she had given to him on his 10th birthday and after all these years he still had it, a smiled formed on her face. She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to turn on the radio to listen to Ray's last show, she caught the tail end of it, she listened as he called her his fiancé, he had proposed almost 2 months ago and it still amazed her that she was his fiancée, his future wife, she had dreamed of this for so long and now that it was real, it almost seemed to good to be true. Suddenly the ring of the phone broke her concentration, she stood up and went to answer it.
"Hello?" she said into the receiver
"Lil?" Audrey's familiar voice said
"Yes, it's me, so what did your father say?" Lily asked
"We can use the truck to move things, I'm taking the day off from classes tomorrow, so is Travis, so we'll be down bright and early to help you guys move and get settled into your new apartment. Trav and I checked the place out this afternoon as you asked us to, it's small, just a bit bigger then what Ray has now, but it'll be perfect for the both of you." Audrey explained
"Great! Thanks again Audrey, I have just been to busy, packing everything to get there and check it out and it fit our budget so I took it, I just wanted someone to look it over" Lily told her "Did you guys happen to hear the show today?"
"Yes I did Ray's fiancé!" Audrey giggled
"Sounds good don't it?" Lily said "Mrs. Ray Brennan, I have dreamed of this day since I was like 5, and it's really going to happen."
"I know Lil, I'm happy for you, and Ray. You guys are going to have the happily ever after ending." Audrey replied
Lily looked over at the clock "Sorry Aud, love to chat some more, but I have a lot to get done, and not a lot of time to do it, so I'll see ya tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, bye Lil" Audrey said hanging up the phone
Lily immediately started off packing where she had left off, by the time Ray got home, everything was scattered around the apartment in brown boxes.
"Wow Lil" Ray said kissing Lily on the forehead "Looks like you got it all done, you should've waited for me, I wanted to help."
"I know," Lily began "But I was on a role, I'm anxious, to get out of here, to start all over in a new city."
"I know you are" Ray said setting down bags "So I picked us up some Chinese on the way home, you hungry?"
"Famished" Lily replied looking around the packed up apartment for a place to eat "There's no where to eat!"
"No?" Ray replied "Let's take the elevator up to the roof and eat out there, mine as well enjoy the warm weather, while it's still here."
"Perfect, I'll just grab us a few sodas" Lily said looking in the almost empty fridge "Or not" she said only producing one soda
"It's ok Lil" Ray began "you can have it, all I need is to be with you."
"You are too sweet Mr. Brennan!" Lily said kissing him "But we can share."
Lily followed Ray up to the roof, they sat under the sky and ate and watched as the sun set, they sat up there long after the food was gone. Lily snuggled up into Ray's lap, she was getting chilly and he wrapped his arms around her to keep her warm.
"Have I told you lastly that I love you?" Ray said
"Only a million times everyday" Lily laughed "And I never get sick of it! By the way, have I told you lately that I love you? That's a song by Michael Bolton."
"Michael who?" Ray replied
"Shut-up" Lily said playfully hitting him
Ray wrapped his arms around her and gently kissed her lips; they stayed out there cuddled for hours before heading back in to sleep. Tomorrow would be the first day of the rest of their lives, but are any of them ready for what lies ahead?
"Yes, Robbie, thank you." Ray began "Many of you know that I got engaged several months ago, to the beautiful and tal."
"Talented Lily Randall" Robbie said cutting him off "We know, we know, Ray, moving on!"
