DISCLAIMER: I don't own Phantom Stallion, or any of these characters. I just find it insanely fun to mess with their lives. *manic laughter*

The smell of pumpkin pie and turkey filled the air at Three Ponies Ranch. Even from the large ranch yard you could hear the laughter and mirth spilling from the house. It was the Ely's turn to host the festivities, and they did quite the job of it.

Hearing the oven timer chime, Samantha Forster walked from the loud living room into the quite kitchen. She shut off the oven and opened the door. After getting hot pads, she pulled out the sweet potato casserole. It smelled so good. Her Gram's secret recipe. Taking a deep breath of the sweet scent, she set it on the counter with a clang.

"Don't break anything Brat." She spun around at Jake's voice and sighed.

"Jacob Ely, don't scare me like that!" She put on one of her; 'scornful' looks, and leaned on the counter.

Jake took the few steps across the kitchen, and put his hands on either side of the counter around her, closing her in. He looked down at her with his signature tom cat smirk and leaned down.

Sam met him half way happily. As the kiss got deeper, Sam wrapped her arms around his neck, and one of Jake's hands rested on her hip.

"Whoa whoa guys! No PDA please!"

Jake and Sam groaned in unison and pulled apart.

"We weren't in public a minute ago Quinn." Growled Jake.

Sam blushed and giggled. She slipped under Jake's arm and brushed past Quinn into the living room.

"Dude that is one hot piece of . . ." He was cut off by Jake's look.

"Sorry. Just stating the facts. Too bad I couldn't woo her before you got to her." Quinn received a smack on the back of the head, but he just laughed and followed Sam into the living room.

After Quinn left, Jake stood by the counter thinking. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a black velvet case, opening he stared at the simple silver band, with a medium sized topaz and inset diamonds.

"I really hope she says yes . . ."

"Hey Jake! You coming? Grandpa Mac is about to tell a few stories!" He heard Sam calling. He snapped the box closed quickly and slipped it back into his pocket.

"Comin."

R&R please! I'm planning on making this into a chaptered story (*gasp* I know) for the Holidays if people like it. ^_^
