Chapter II

Unexpected Proposal

What will she say? What if she's not ready yet? Oh Great Dragon, help me! Timmy was becoming flustered. He cleared his throat, and turned to face Tecna. Okay, this was it, the big moment...

Timmy just sat there, staring at his girlfriend's eyes for 2 straight minutes. He then took Tecna's hands in his own, and started blushing as bright as a tomato. Little beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and before Timmy could hide his nervousness, Tecna noticed he was edgy.

"Timmy, what's wrong, you're starting to sweat, are you sick honey?" Tecna asked worriedly. She took a cotton handkerchief from her bright green purse, and used it to wipe Timmy's forehead. She gave him a shy smile, and when Timmy smiled back, Tecna realized he was just fine.

Finally, Timmy gathered the courage to speak. He stood up, motioning for Tecna to do the same. He put his hands on her hips, while she threw her arms around his neck, looking into his eyes with curiosity.

"Um, Tec, I-I've wanted to ask you this for a long time but, will you marry me?" Timmy said in one quick breath.

Tecna was so happy she couldn't even speak! All she could do was shriek and wiggle around excitedly, as if she had been turned into a jellyfish. Unable to speak, the fairy pounced on Timmy, embracing him in a tight hug.

"I take this as a yes?" Timmy inquired. Tecna still couldn't get any words out of her mouth, she nodded her head yes wildly. Little did she know that Timmy had yet another surprise for her…

"Come with me, I have something else that I think you'd really like," Timmy stated as he led Tecna to the ship.
