A Hairspray Christmas

Chapter One

Christmas Eve, 1962, 12 noon

Tracy Turnblad and Link Larkin had been going out since the Miss Teenage Hairspray Pageant although they were happy Tracy was beginning to wonder if Link was truly serious about their relationship.

Sure nobody bothered her about her weight (Amber tried to keep up her previous ways up but that only lasted a week). But with the holiday coming up in only a few hours Tracy was wondering where her relationship with Link was going.

Tracy made up her mind that she was going to talk to Link about it tonight and as Link was spending Christmas Eve with the Turnblad's she just had a few hours to wait.

At the same time Link Larkin was planning how he was going to get Tracy alone for ten minutes. He had decided to give Tracy his ring tonight. Link had been waiting for the right time. Granted they had been going out for six months but he did not want to give her his ring on the same day as their anniversary. He wanted it to be special and this was going to be his Christmas present to Tracy this year.

Several Hours Later

Link arrived at the Turnblad residence with about thirty minutes before dinner would be ready. Tracy opened the door and welcomed Link in.

After greeting both Mr. and Mrs. Turnblad he asked Tracy if she would come outside with him for a few minutes.

Tracy grabbed her coat and they went into her family's backyard.

"Tracy…"

"Link…" they both said at the same time.

"Ladies first," Link said.

"Link, oh, I hope I don't say this wrong. Are you serious about being in a relationship with me? I mean your not just going out with me because I'm a star are you?" Tracy asked.

Link began to laugh. "I'm only laughing darlin' 'cause had I gone first your questions would have been null and void."

"Why Link?"

"I wanted to do this on a day all of its own. Okay so may be a holiday is not a day all its own but today just seemed right."

Tracy looked quizzically at Link.

"Tracy when I was with Amber I thought that she might be the one for me, but then I saw you dancing in detention and got to know you. Then I realized that Amber was not the one." Link reached into his pocket and took out his ring. "Tracy, I hope that you will accept this ring as a symbol of my love and commitment to you and also as a promise that I will turn that into an engagement ring one day."

Tracy was floored to say the least about what Link had just told her. "Yes Link I will accept your ring."

Link slid the ring onto the ring finger on Tracy's right hand, pulled her to him and kissed her.

"Link, Tracy dinner's ready," Mrs. Turnblad said as she came to the door.
