Disclaimer: I still own nothing… And I still have to find my soul.
Well, without further ado: this is chapter three…
Chapter 3
Calvin lay in bed looking up at the ceiling. He was in the middle of accepting something… something great. Not even a whole twenty years ago today, he had asked Susie to marry him. It was a perfect memory.
Another great thing was the fact that he remembered that day, all those years ago with such ease and happiness. He smiled at the memory. He was kind of shocked that he even remembered the clothes the two had worn. Susie had worn a knee length white dress while he wore a plain open collared white shirt and beige pants.
In fact, he remembered that day to near perfection.
***
Calvin had sat there in the hills that went down slowly in sections. He had chosen this spot because when you climbed up on the other side, got to the top found yourself under a magnificent oak tree and saw the hills, the fields below, the clear blue river and sandy banks below and the vast Persian blue sky dotted with great white clouds it was impossible not to have your breath taken away.
In the setting sun, Calvin blonde hair shined and his tanned skin glowed a he relaxed on the grass next to a content Susie as she leaned her head against his shoulder.
"This is perfect," she murmured finally breaking the long silence that had only been filled by the wind.
"It is," Calvin agreed softly.
"What time do we have to be at parent's house for dinner?"
"Half an hour ago."
"Oh. I don't want to leave."
"Same here."
"I'm really right now happy," she admitted after another long silence.
"Same here," Calvin repeated chuckling.
"Do you want to get our shoes or should I?"
"No, I'll do that," Calvin said getting up and walking up the hill to where the two of them had kicked off their shoes and begun to run down the hill laughing.
That was when Susie noticed something sticking out of the grass a few feat away. She walked down the hill a little ways and picked it up. It was that scruffy little stuffed tiger Calvin had gotten when he was born and still carried around with him jokingly sometimes.
Susie noticed the animal's stuffing was sticking out weirdly. She reached in and found something small, hard, and round inside. She gasped as she pulled it out. It was a small ring with a little diamond in between two smaller sapphires.
Tears welled up in her eyes and she covered her mouth.
"Hey Susie? I found our shoes," Calvin called from further up the hill.
He walked down to see what she was holding.
Susie, eyes continuing to tear up, said what she could not stop thinking: "Yes."
"What do you mean?" Calvin asked uncertainly as he came to stand beside her.
"Yes. Again and again. Forever and ever; yes," Susie said wiping her eyes.
Calvin looked down and saw the ring it took everything in him not to gape or say: "Hobbes!"
Instead Calvin looked up at Susie smiled and kissed her lightly.
"That's a huge relief," he admitted in a whisper.
"I'm glad."
***
Calvin rolled over in bed and looked at his still sleeping wife. He then hopped out of bed deciding to make her some breakfast in bed.
He just had to remember to avoid Albert's monster booby-trap in the hallway.

So… I'll update when I get another idea.
Thanks for reading.
And again I hope you enjoyed.
