Chapter 1: Barbeque, Engagement.
Well, I'd just wrote a quite depressing chapter for happy ending? So I thought I'd write a happier one, seeing as its summer. Its going to be little stories about Fred and Daphne's summer! Of course, its a Fraphne:) 4 reviews get the next chapter! They aren't really connected to the other chapters to come, by the way:)
Sitting in the deck chair in the back garden, sat Fred Jones. Coming up behind him, secretly, was Daphne Blake. She covered his eyes with her hands, and let out a giggle.
"Guess who, Freddie," she said, and Fred laughed at her.
"Come on, Daph, your gonna have to disguise your voice, and change perfume if you want to sneak up on me,''He told her smugly, causing her to pout. Fred stood up, and took her hand.
"Don't get in a hissy fit, Daphne, its your birthday! We're having a bbq! And all our friends and family are coming round later,'' he smiled, and twirled her around.
"I was only messing, Freddie! I just don't see why I haven't gotten my present yet! Or any presents, for that matter! I'm going to set the bbq up, and make sure the bouncy castle man knows were to put it." With that, she walked off, leaving Fred grinning. He quickly looked into his pocket, and took out a small box. In it, was a small, white gold engagement ring, covered with beautiful crystals. Etched into it, was the message 'Forever and always, together we'll be'. He knew it would be perfect, and that all their family and friends would be estatic for them. He just hoped she would say yes! He walked to were she was fiddling with the barbeque, obviously not sure how to use it.
"Stupid switch won't turn on,''She muttered, and Fred smiled.
"Need my assistance, my lady?"He asked.
"Yes please! The switch won't turn.. oh,"she said, embarassed, as he just turned it the right way, andused the special lighter to make the flame. Daphne scowled, amd went inside, and watched in the other part of her large garden were the bouncy castle was being set up. She couldn't wait! She'd always loved bouncy castles, and at most parties, she hadn't been allowed on them, thanks to her mother's fear she would get her dress crushed. but on that particular day, it didn't matter.
When everyone finally arrived, and food had been dished out, the party was in full swing. Everyone was currently on the bouncy castle, except Fred, who was going over what to say whn he proposed. But Daphne ran off the bouncy castle, and grabbed his arm.
"Come on, Freddie, come play! Its fun!" Daphne lead him to the bouncy castle, despite Fred's complaining. He finally got into it, and everyone gasped when they saw a little silver box fall outof Fred's pocket. Everyone stopped bouncing, including Daphne.
"Oh no,"Fred muttered to himself, and Daphne looked like she was going to cry. In fact, she did.
"I'm sorry, Daph. It wasn't supposed to be this way," he said sadly, and she shook her head.
"Its my fault. I made you go bouncing. I don't care how you propose, Freddie,"She told him, and she leapt into his arms.
"Daphne Ann Blake... Will you marry me?"
"Of course I will,"She replied, letting him slip the band onto her left hand. Everyone cheered them, and they kissed, and Fred felt relieved she hadn't been too upset that the ring had fallen out of his pocket. And now, they were engaged!
After the party was over, they drove to the beach for a romantic walk. They both walked hand in hand, and looked out to the beautiful sunset. Fred played with her hair, making her laugh.
"I can't believe we're getting married! I'm so excited to spend my whole life with you, Freddie," She told him, and he grinned and kissedher forehead.
"Look, wanna go ride those horses? It would be fun," Fred told her, and she nodded. They payed to go on them, and soon were riding off together, kissing as the horses came to a stop. A perfect way to finish the perfect day.
