Alright, I was bored, so I decided to go ahead and write the next chapter for this story. As I said, this is a flashback. Hm... I might as well tell you the inspiration to the story, Believe by Staind. Oh and there is some comedy from the big bang theory in this.
Two weeks ago, Flash's POV
'Ok, today is the day, I am finally going to do it. I'm gonna ask her to marry me.' I thought to myself, as I got out of bed, walking over to the picture on my shelf. 'Crystal, we're finally going to be together.' I walked downstairs, and popped in a couple of pop tarts in the toaster. When they were done, I headed over to the phone, and plopped down on the couch. I picked up the phone, and dialed Crystal's number. It rang a couple times... "Hello?"
Crystal's POV
"Hey babe, it's Flash." Yep, I knew that voice anywhere. "Hey sweetie, what's up?" I asked. "Oh, uh.. I just wanted to know, if you wanted to go out later today." He said, sounding a little nervous. Why was he nervous? We've been dating for a long time now. "Sure, what do you want to do?" "Oh, uh, we could go out for dinner, and uh... OH! I got us tickets to Mina's concert, just like you wanted." "What?" I asked. How did he get them? They were supposed to be sold out. "That's Awesome! When do we leave?" "We should go to dinner around 5:00, since at 8:00 the concert starts." "Ok, I love you." I said into the phone. "Love you too, bye." "Bye."
Flash's POV
Ok, everything is in motion. Now... what to do until then?
Later With Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails
"What? You're going to propose? When?" Tails asked, cheer in his voice. "Yep. I can't wait to see the look on her face." I said back to him. "So... Where are the rings? It's 3:00 now." Knuckles pointed out, And I froze right there. "OH CRAP! Uh... What am I going to do?" I panicked. "Relax." Knuckles said, resting a hand on my shoulder. "I can get Rouge to get them for you." "Oh, thank you."I said, as Knuckles pulled out his phone, dialing her number, handing the phone to me. "Hello?" "Oh, hey Rouge. It's me, Flash." "Oh hey hon, how's it goin?" "I thought I said I don't like it when you call me that." "Yes, that's why I am calling you that." Rouge giggled into the phone. "Ok Rouge, listen, I am going to propose to Crystal tonight, so I'm going to need-" "Wait." Rouge stopped him mid sentence. "You're proposing?" "Yes." Rouge then squealed into the phone, nearly causing Flash's ear to go deaf. "Ok, tell me everything." "No time." I said to her. "Look, I know you live next door to me, so I need you to go to my house and get the rings for me." "Sure thing, hon." I groaned. I still hate that nickname. Then I heard she was at my door. "Oh shoot, you need a key, don't you?" "Nope, I've got it." I heard a click. She must have picked the lock. "You know what? I think I should get a number code lock for my house." I said to Knuckles, who just nodded. "Ok, I'm in." "Ok, go up to my room, and there is a box." I heard the sound of footsteps going up the stairs. "Oh, nice room you got here." "Yeah yeah yeah, the less time you spend in there the better." "Oh! I see the box!" She picked up the box, and opened it. "There should be a key in there." I said to her.
"Nope, no keys, just a bunch of letters." 'Oh crap.' I thought to myself. "Wrong box, put it back." I said quickly. "Wait, are these from your grandmother, Flash?" "Don't read those letters." I said really quickly. "Awe, she calls you Moonpie, that's so cute!" "PUT DOWN THE LETTERS!" I shouted into the phone. Knuckles took the phone. "Rouge? It's Knuckles." "Oh hey, knuckie. How's it going with Flash?" "Oh, delightful. Look, there's little bubbles forming on the side of Flash's mouth." "Yeah, I think I crossed the line, put him back on." "Thank you." Knuckles said. I took the phone. "I'm back." I said. "What's up, Moonpie?" She giggled into the phone. I started to get a little angry. "No one calls me Moonpie but Meemaw." I said, teeth clenched tightly. "Look, can you just co-operate?" I asked, pleading. "Fine. Oh wait, the box is right here." "Ok, now there is a code on it. Just type in 23424635679237592378." I said. "Ok, wait, does this box have any emotional value to you?" She asked. "No, I just bought it off of the internet. It's a cheap box. Did you hear a click?" I asked. "No, hold on a minute." She took the box, put it on the floor, and then smashed it under her foot. "Ok, I heard the click. Oh, and there's the rings!" "Ok, bring them here please." "Nice diamond, I wonder if it is detachable-" "ROUGE!" I shouted into the phone. "Relax, I was just joking."
Later, after dinner...
We arrived at the concert. I checked my watch. 8:04. A little late. We probably missed the first song. . We made our way to our seats, which happened to be front row. "How did you get seats this close?" Crystal asked. "Oh, I know a guy." I said with a simple smile. The audience around us cheered as loud as they could. We looked up to see Mina. "Thank you, thank you, and that was Forever and Always!" And the crowd cheered louder. Mina looked over to me, and I gave a thumbs up. She nodded her head. "Ok, now give it up for our guest singer, Flash the Cat!" And the crowd went crazy. Crystal looked at me with a confused expression. I smiled and then walked up on stage, taking a guitar that was handed to me by Mina. "Ok, thank you everybody." I said. "Now, I would like to perform a song for the person I love more than life itself, the woman of my dreams, Crystal the Cat." I said, pointing to her. The crowd cheered, and she blushed a bit. "This is for you Crystal, All I Want."
All I Want by Staind, (I do not own this song.)
What I leave, when you go,
What I see and what you show,
And what I guess, and When I don't,
Is something, You already, Already know.
I can't live without,
All I think about all,
I want is you!
You're all I dream about,
I can't live without all,
I want is you.
The things I do, What I go through,
And all I say, when I'm awake,
And what I make, The S*** I take,
Is something, You already, already know.
I Can't live without,
All I think about all,
I want is you!
You're all I dream about,
I can't live without,
All, I want is you!
It's you.
It's you.
It's you.
It's you.
You're all I dream about,
I can't live without,
All, I want is you.
I can't live without,
All I think about all,
I want is you!
You're all I dream about,
I can't live without,
All, I want is you!
You're all I dream about,
I just can't live without,
And all I think about is you,
and all I want, is, you.
I looked over to Crystal in the Audience, who was smiling with tears coming out of her eyes. I gave my hand to her, and brought her up on stage. The crowd went nuts. "Ok everyone, settle down. Crystal, I have something I always wanted to ask you." I said, as I knelt down on one knee. I took her hand, and held up a box, with the ring in it. "Crystal, Will you marry me?" I asked, seeing tears in her eyes, as I opened the box. "Yes, I will." She said, as I slipped the ring on her finger. The crowd exploded with applause and cheer. I pulled her into a deep kiss. "I love you, Crystal." I said. She pulled me into another kiss. "I love you too."
Well, that was chapter 2. Not sad, right? Well... Not for long.
