Reviews would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and enjoy!

The Ultimate Christmas Present

Juliette Burns was so bored. "Who needs philosophy," she thought. "The only person in this whole, stupid, book that seems sane and makes half a grain of sense is Kilkenguard." Plus, she had it on good authority that Freud was a crackpot, literally. As Juliette looked around the class she noticed that half the class was asleep and the teacher even seemed tired. She noticed there only seemed to be two people who were paying attention. "Nerds, she thought." And then went back to the story she was currently working on.

As Juliette tried to concentrate this little group behind her refused to shut-up. After a few minutes of this, she hoped that they would realize they were in the middle of class not in their dorm; when that did not happen she turned around and said "Will ya'll shut-up!" The group seemed to think this was funny and started laughing, which finally caught the teacher's attention. She walked over to them asking, "Is there a problem here?" This seemed to work and the idiots were quiet.

As soon as class ended Juliette put her books in her backpack and left. A guy with saggy light brown hair and glasses that hid his beautiful blue eyes that she recognized from class come up to her stuck out his hand and said,

"Hi, I'm Daniel Jackson."

Juliette did not know what to make of this guy. So she just decided to do what he did, "Juliette Burns" she said. After they shook hands and saw they were both headed in the same direction Daniel picked up the conversation.

"Thanks for telling those guys to be quiet. I was a few minutes away from doing that my self."

Juliette laughed. "I'm glad I could be of assistance. The main reason I told them off was because they were interfering with my writing."

"Writing?"

"Yeah, like most of the class I find this highly boring, but instead of sleeping I write, plus it looks like I am taking notes."

Daniel was intrigued, "So what do you write about? Aliens, Egyptians, college?"

"Three strikes and you're out Daniel. I like to write Westerns, but I HATE the movies. They are always boring."

Daniel laughed at this, "You are a strange one Juliette, but coming from me that is a compliment."

As Daniel and Juliette walked they began to discover they were similar in several ways; neither had a life. Daniel studied when not in class and Juliette still lived at home. So they both were out of contact with normal college life.

As time wore on they became best friends then boy and girlfriend. At last their senior year arrived and they had to decide what to do. Daniel wanted Juliette to marry him, but he was not sure how she felt about that. The day before graduation Daniel took Juliette out on a romantic picnic she could not stand it any longer.

"Daniel, what are you so antsy about?"

That caught him off guard, he wanted to be smooth and romantic, "Oh well" he thought, here I go.

"Juliette, will you marry me?"

She look startled, but only for a second. She figured he would ask. Juliette took a deep breath and said, "Danny we need to talk."

As soon as he heard these words he knew it was trouble, and that her answer was no.

Juliette took a breath, "I want to marry you, I do, but does it make much sense? You are still going to be in college for a number of years. I have my journalism degree and an offer from two or three magazines that requires extensive traveling. Even after you get all your various degrees, you will have to start traveling and working long hours. We would never see each other, oh, what if we had children, what then? I have been thinking about all of this for the past month, and while my heart is telling me yes, my brain is saying no. So I have to say no, but I will love you forever and always."

At seeing the saddened look on Daniel's face she quickly added, "Daniel, I love you and always will. Maybe when we are older the fates will throw us together again."

The picnic was torture for Daniel, after that, at least till they were about to leave. Juliette turned around and gave him a long kiss. One thing then led to another.

The next day as they were going to get in line for the graduation ceremony Daniel gave Juliette a final kiss.

"So Daniel, I guess this is goodbye." Juliette said with a catch in her voice.

"I guess so."

As Juliette started to cry she gave him one last hug and whispered in his ear, "I will love you forever." Then she turned and ran.
