Chapter 1-Michael POV

I was walking down the stairs to go to the kitchen and call Eve during her lunch break. I knew everyone was out at work at this time of day, but I heard a noise coming from the lounge. Who was there? I was on alert but I couldn't smell a vampire, it was a human.

I looked around the corner of the stairs and saw Shane sitting on the couch looking stressed out and confused. I walked up behind him. He was too deep in thought to notice me there. He started talking to himself. "Ok, ill just ask them straight as I sit down and get it over and done with." He sighed. "They're going to say yes, then ill take her out the next night and she'll say yes ad we'll be… she'll be… happy… if this goes right." He was freaking out and I was still confused on why. "But what if she says no…" then he leaned back against the couch with his hands covering his face and groaned.

It then hit me why he was freaking out like he was hiding from the police for committing a murder. "Are you going to propose to Claire?" I asked.

Shane jumped, yelled and fell to the floor looking up at me. "Dude don't do that again man or ill kick your ass."

"I'd like to see you try, so are you going to answer my question?"

Shane closed his eyes looking nervous. "Yeah but I have to ask her parents first and you better not tell anyone or I will ask Claire to ask Myrin to kill you if I can't."

Shane and Claire have been a couple for three years and it was pretty obvious that they were meant to be. Shane was twenty-two and Claire was about to turn twenty-one. Since Claire came to Morganville they went total gaga over each other. It was sickening most of the time. But it wasn't fair that they had to see me and Eve at it pretty much all the time.

"And you don't think she'll say yes, dude Claire's head over heals for you. I swear that if you told her that you wanted a baby she'd say yes because newsflash SHES IN LOVE WITH YOU." I threw up my hands in the air and looked down at Shane. He was still on the floor thinking.

"But what if her parents don't agree?"

I laughed. "That wouldn't stop Claire. She would pack her bags with you in it and run off into the sunset."

He still looked unsure. I guess I would feel the same if I was going to propose to Eve. Or maybe I wouldn't since I didn't have to ask her parents. But because I was a vampire that might make her think twice.

"Since Claire is at work for another three hours I got time off work so I could talk to her parents but I have to collect the strength and courage to drive there first." Shane was hyperventilating.

This had to happen, Claire would be as happy as ever and it would only happen if Shane gets off his ass and goes to her parent's house. I grabbed his coat and my keys. I walked over to Shane still sitting there thinking and grabbed him off the floor by his shirt and towed him to the garage. "What the fuck Michael…"

"I'm taking you to Mr. and Mrs. Danvers."

He didn't protest. He new certainly well that he had to do this soon before he chickened out and I wasn't going to let Eve not have her fun at help plan this wedding and annoy Shane and Claire like crazy. It would be the most hilarious months of my life.

I parked out front of their house and waited for Shane to get out. "Sorry I can't go in there with you man but you need to do this now or I really will drag you to the front door till they answer."

Shane looked shaky and nervous but still nodded and got out of the car walking up to the front door. Hesitating at the door Shane took a big breath in and knocked. I saw Mrs. Danvers answer the door and asked Shane to come inside. This time without hesitation he walked in and all I had to do was wait.

Chapter 2-Shanes POV

I stepped through the door clearly looking terrified. "Mrs. Danvers there is something I have to ask you and your husband."

"Of course he is in the lounge."

I walked there in fear. Start thinking positive and stop being a coward, I told myself. Mr Danvers turned off the TV as I sat down. "What would you like to talk about boy."

Just spit it out. "I would like to have permission to marry your daughter." I held my breath trying to look brave and confident. I failed completely.

He just kept staring and staring like he was suspicious I did something wrong. He slowly nodded his head as I exhaled. Claire's mum looked overjoyed. I was guessing that her and Eve would be planning most of this wedding. If Claire said yes.

Then the phone rang and Mrs Danvers went to go answer it. Mr Danvers got straight to the point and gave me my speech on how if I ever hurt her I would be dead the next day and about treating her right. What I expect yadda yadda yadda. Then he said something that blew me away. "I'm glad that you're going to be my son-in-law."

Mrs Danvers came back with a grin. "It's Claire, she says that Eve and Michael are going out tonight and she thinks that Shane is working so she wants to know if she can come over for dinner."

Mr Danvers looked at me. "Are you working tonight boy?" he asked me.

"No I asked if I could have the night off so I could talk to you."

He looked thoughtful. "Then tell Claire that we are also busy." He yelled over his shoulder.

Mrs Danvers nodded and put the phone back to her ear. Mr Danvers then looked back at me. "Are you going to ask her tonight boy?"

I nodded. "Since I can see her tonight I might as well."

He sighed. "That means we will be expecting a phone call tomorrow morning."

I stood up. "I better go so I can get ready."

"Good luck boy," was the last thing I heard as I walked out of the Danvers house.

Michael was still waiting in the car. "So what did they say?"

I nodded and looked at him. He smiled. "Good because I just called Eve and told her that I am taking her out for a romantic dinner and movie."

"I know. Claire got the message and rang them asking if she could go over there for dinner but she doesn't realise that im not working tonight so they told her no."

" I'm glad that there will be some good news in Morganville."

"For a change," I answered back.

Chapter3-Claire POV

I was at work talking with Myrin. "So want are you doing tonight Claire?" he asked me.

I thought about it and I didn't know. Maybe Eve and I could go see a movie since Shane was at work tonight. "I think I might give Eve a call." I pulled out my phone.

"Hey Claire bear how are you?" she sounded happy.

"Um great, hey did you want to go see a movie tonight or something?"

"Sorry Claire but Michael just called and said he was going to take me out to a romantic dinner and movie." She sounded guilty.

"Oh ok never mind I might just go see my parents tonight." I was a little disappointed.

"Ok see ya I have to get back to work sorry I couldn't go out with you."

"Its ok seeya Later." Then she hung up.

I sighed. "No luck," asked myrin. "What about Shane?"

"He's working tonight I'm going to call my parents and if I can go over for dinner or something."

"Hello Danvers house," my mum answered sounding very excited.

"Hey mum its me I was wondering if I could come over tonight and have dinner with you guys because Shane is at work and Michael and Eve are going out?" I asked positive that they would say yes. They always do.

But mum hesitated. "Um… just wait a sec darling ill go ask your father."

"o…k" I looked at Myrin who an amused look on his face.

It took a while for mum to answer me back. "Sorry darling but we're actually busy tonight. If it was any other night then yes but we really do have something planned."

"Oh ok ill just watch a movie and read or something…. And order a pizza for myself. I haven't done that in ages."

"Well have fun darling." Then she hung up.

I stared at the phone with my mouth agape. "Didn't work out like you planned?" he asked.

"Nope, but im just going to have pizza and watch a movie then sleep. Also give Shane a call," I sighed.

"I would ask you to hang out with me and Ada but I don't think you guys get along very well," asked Myrin.

"Thanks but you're right she doesn't like me at all," I thanked him.

"Ill let you off early if you want im just going to pack up anyway."

"Thanks ill go home get in my pj's and curl up with a duvet and stuff my face with soft drink and pizza while watching some girly movie."

"Sounds like fun," said Myrin sarcastically.

"For a girl I guess it is," then I walked out pouting.

My first stop was the video store. I didn't fell like watching a romance so I picked another one of my favourites.
