Now that Tanner was dead, Phil, Keely, and Dana, could finally get back to their lives. Seeing as Tanner, could not escape, obviously, Phil thought that he should ask Keely to marry him. Although, proposing wasn't something Phil had done often, so he had no idea what he would say, or where he would propose. He didn't want to involve Dana, but he had to face it, she watched more wedding movies than anyone he had met in his entire life, so he saw no other options. Phil had hemmed and hawed over this for about a week, before he finally said to Dana,
"Dana, can I ask you something about proposing?"
"Sure, but dad, this is so sudden, we hardly know each other, and mom might get jealous," Dana said
"Dana,"
"Sorry, what do you want to know?"
"Well, I want to ask your mom to marry me."
"Yay!" Dana squealed.
"Yeah, it's only taken me 25 years."
"What!" Dana's mouth dropped,
"Yeah,"
"My God, you propose to her right now before another 25 years goes by and you're both dead!"
"Dana," Phil said, crossing his arms,
"Uh-Uh," Dana said shaking her head, "That might work with mom, but not with me."
"Dana Mandy Teslow-Diffy-" Phil started
"Noooo" Dana whined, "Not you too," she continued, still whining.
"Dana, I can't just propose to her out of the blue like that, I mean-"
"This is not out of the blue, this is right smack dab in the middle of the blue! You call twenty five years, OUT OF THE BLUE?" Dana said, annunciating the words 'twenty five years.'
"No, but-"
"Go, now."
"Dana-"
"No, I don't want to hear another word, go."
"Yes ma'am." Phil said saluting her.
Dana smiled and laughed, then she left the kitchen, when Keely entered it.
"Hey," Keely said to Dana, who was practically running out of the room
"What's with her?" Keely continued
"Um, Keely, I was, well, I…." Phil started
"Yeah….." Keely said
"Well, I wanted you and I to go out to dinner tonight,"
"Oh, sure, when's the reservation?"
"Um…" Phil glanced out of the kitchen door, to see Dana holding up five fingers, and mouthing the word 'five'.
"Um, five." Phil said, smiling at Keely
"Great," Keely said, returning the smile.
Keely left the room, and Dana re-entered it.
"Dad this is so great! I can not wait until you guys are married!" Dana squealed again, although this time she was jumping up and down
"Yeah, you and me both."
Dana and Phil smiled, then they went and got ready for dinner.
About an hour later, they were all ready, and sitting in the kitchen, waiting for the clock to strike 4:30.
"Ding, Ding, Ding." the clock chimed.
"4:30!" Phil said, jumping up, his voice in a high pitched squeak. Then he cleared his throat, then said in a deep voice, "Um, I mean it's 4:30."
Keely and Dana laughed. Phil, Keely, and Dana walked out of the house, soon they were at the restaurant.
"Here we are." Phil said, nervously.
Dana looked suspicious, like he had forgotten something, like the ring.
"Dad, did you, forget something?"
"Huh?" his voice was high pitched and squeaky again.
"Mom, could you excuse us for a second?"
"Yeah, no problem." Keely looked at both of them like they were crazy, then she slowly got out of the car. And Dana jumped into the front seat, and whispered loudly, "Did you forget the ring?"
"No, why?" Phil answered
"Because you're acting really weird."
"I am not,"
"Are too."
"Fine, I'm just a little nervous, I don't propose to people everyday you know."
"Whatever, please, please don't screw this up. Dad, I can't tell you how long I've wished you and mom were married, and now that you're finally going to be, I don't want anything messing this up,"
"I know Dana, I don't either."
Dana smiled at Phil, and he hugged her, then they joined Keely outside the car.
"Hey, sorry about that." Phil said,
"Oh, that's O.K., I encourage father daughter bonding," Keely said smiling
They all walked into the restaurant, and they were ushered to a private table outside on the balcony.
"Wow, this is beautiful." Keely said sitting down
"I know," Dana said
"Well, it had to be," Phil said smiling at Keely.
Dana glanced at both of them, and could hardly contain how happy she was.
"May I take your order?" a very familiar voice said.
When they heard the voice they all turned, and were shocked at who they saw.
