Sorry for the wait, but ENJOY!

Nancy slowly opened her eyes to the sunlight shining through the window. She sighed, a feeling of relaxation coming over her. Suddenly, a hand made its way down across her stomach to her hand. She startled slightly but then relaxed when she felt the owner of the hand kiss on her on the cheek. Nancy rolled over to see a smiling Ned sitting up beside her.

"Good morning, my love, how are you this fine morning?"

Nancy giggled and answered, "Pretty good considering how my night was. How about you?"

Ned shrugged. "Oh, I would say that I am just about perfect."

Nancy giggled again and snuggled up against Ned, enjoying her first morning with her husband.

After a bit Nancy looked up at Ned and asked, "So, what do you want to do today?"

Ned thought for a moment then shrugged. "I do not know. I would be just fine if we spent the whole day in bed, but if you want to go somewhere then I am okay with that too."

Nancy rolled her eyes and sat up. "I know why you want to stay in bed, but we would need to go and eat at some point and besides, there are so many places to go and look at in town. I promised Beth and George that I would get them wonderful souvenirs, so we have to go and shop." Nancy jumped out of bed, put on a robe and headed towards the bathroom, calling behind her shoulder. "Now get up. I do not want to have to force you out of bed today."

Ned groaned but grinned. Nancy Drew, now with Nickerson on the end, was always on the move.

A little while later Ned and Nancy walked down into the dining room, Ned with his arm around Nancy's waist and her head on his shoulder.

Helen Cook could not help but smile as the two walked up to her as she set out the breakfast buffet. "You two are just the picture of newlywed hood. I hope that your first night here was good?"

Nancy blushed slightly but nodded. "Of course, our room was wonderful."

Helen nodded and started to set out toast. "Good, at least someone had a good night, unlike the owners of the import store in town."

Nancy looked up at Helen. "What happened?"

"Oh, the poor owners were robbed last night. They normally sell foreign souvenirs, mostly Chinese, and they had several jars and dolls stolen, but thankfully none of the expensive stuff. They had insurance, but it is still unfortunate that the nice couple was robbed." Helen shook her head. "Well, all I can say is you had better keep your door locked at night and when you leave. The last thing I need is for this place to get robbed too, although I do not have really anything of value around. But, do not let me spoil your first day as a couple. You go and enjoy the town and feel free to ask me if you need help." Helen walked back to the kitchen, leaving Nancy and Ned to think over this new situation that they found themselves close to.

Nancy smiled up at Ned and led him to one of the tables. "Well, we had better get some food and I think that it would be great to go and check out the town. Maybe we could go shopping and hit the museum that Helen mentioned. What do you think?"

Ned eyed Nancy suspiciously but nodded. "Okay, but I want to come back here as soon as possible. I do not want a robbery to ruin our time here."

Nancy nit Ned's shoulder playfully. "Oh, stop being so mopey. We will have a wonderful honeymoon, I promise. Now, I saw some pancakes that looked absolutely delicious."

Ned shook his head to try and get rid of his feeling of depression and followed Nancy to the buffet.
