Chapter Three: Fair's Fair
Rating: K

I've never felt so grateful to my father in all my life. The thought echoed in my head several times before I looked down at my fiancée, who was grinning happily at me. I felt myself blush and swallowed the large lump in my throat.

"You having fun?" I choked out awkwardly, wincing at the embarrassing crack in my voice. To my horror, she noticed and giggled.

"Why? Shouldn't I be?" she replied, interlocking her hands with mine. I couldn't help but smile at her, my heart stopping when she returned it.

She dragged me off to some rides and booths and pointed out the prizes that she thought were cute. Unable to resist, I paid the vendor and won her all the prizes she wanted, and even more. She stared at me, surprised, and I blushed hotly. It felt natural to shower her with gifts.

All too soon, the day ended in a beautiful sunset and the fair had closed. We walked home in the dark together. I was slightly irritated. I would have held her hand, but because of my stupidity, both of our arms were busy trying to balance all of the prizes that I won for her.

When I delivered them to her room, she smiled at me and thanked me for the great time. Then, she leaned up and kissed my cheek. I almost passed out right then and there.

I walked dizzily back to my room, my hand on my cheek, my eyes bright and a smile on my face. I opened the door and found my father waiting for me on his bedding. He noticed the goofy grin on my face and smirked knowingly.

"Aren't you glad you lost that bet, boy?" he asked, chuckling. "No matter how hard you practice, you'll never be able to eat as much food as I can!"

I nodded before collapsing onto the futon, my hand still glued to my cheek. Slowly I turned to face my old man, who was still grinning. I returned it happily.

"Thanks, Pop. I owe you one."

Well, here's chapter three! I'd thank you all who reviewed individually, but I'm just too lazy right now, but thanks! I really do appreciate it! And the reviews came a lot quicker than I expected them to...if this keeps up, I'm going to have to start pre-writing ten chapters so that I don't keep you guys waiting too long!

Anyway, 5 chapters for the next review please! Constructive criticism will still be appreciated!
