After two days off, it was actually nice to get back to "work".

Except they had to work the two weeks during Christmas, and it was now Christmas Eve.

But Melony and Daniel couldn't think of a better way to spend the holidays. Although Daniel wanted to spend them in his and Mel's house, next to a warm fire, opening presents underneath a tall Christmas tree, so beautifully decorated with as many lights and bows as they could fit. And of course, he would carry around the little piece of Mistletoe, holding it above each of them whenever he desired. But no--after the SmackDown! taping, they had several house shows the week of Christmas.

But atleast he knew he would be with her..that was the brightest side he could find of working on Christmas.

Daniel wasn't scheduled for the house show that night, so Melony went to the arena while Daniel stayed at the motel.

She got her bags out of the trunk and went in, throwing a few casual "Hello's" and "How are you?'s" to the backstage crew, before entering the Women's Locker Room and throwing her bags down.

Torrie and Dawn weren't there yet, so Mel changed into her workout gear, grabbed a bottle of water and her walkman, and headed to the gym to get in a few extra minutes of training.

She had been lifting weights, her eyes closed, music blaring in her headphones, she didn't even notice him enter the room.

He looked at her, arching an eyebrow, a smile on his face as he walked over and kissed her. Her eyes popped open as she pulled away and ripped the headphones off her ears, looking up at him, she burst out laughing, "John, are you crazy?"

He smiled, "Maybe." He sat down on the weight bench, "So, where's SpongeBob at?"

Mel shot him a death glare, "Shut up, John, he is NOT SpongeBob!" John grinned. "And he stayed at the motel. He's not scheduled for any matches or appearances tonight."

"Are you?"

She shrugged, "A match, If you really wanna call it that," She smirked, "Against Torrie."

He nodded, "You going straight back to the motel afterwards? If not, I thought we could grab a drink..."

She shook her head, "Not tonight, John. It's Christmas Eve, and I want to spend it with Daniel."

He nodded, "Okay..maybe next week, then?"

"We'll see."

Melony pulled up in front of the motel room and parked the car, she got out, got her bags, and headed into the room.

She gasped when she entered, dropping her bags beside the bed.

Around the room, colored lights were strung everywhere, and a small Christmas tree, decorated to perfection, was sitting in the corner, a few wrapped boxes underneath. She looked around, but Daniel wasn't there. She was about to pick up the phone and dial his cell, when someone knocked on the door.

Arching an eyebrow, she walked over and opened it.

Daniel stood there, in a red Santa Clause suit, a fake beard hanging around his neck, and a red bag slung over his shoulder.

"Ho ho ho," He said, grinning, "Merry Christmas."

"Daniel!" Melony squealed, wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing him on the cheek, "You did all this?"

He nodded, "I did it for you."

They walked in, Daniel slung the red bag, which strangely seemed to be moving, onto the bed.

"Daniel..." Mel smiled, "What's that?"

"Open it." Melony pulled the bag open, looked in, and gasped. She reached in and brought out an orange and white kitten.

"Aww..kitt...wait.." She looked at the collar around the cats neck and gasped again, "Daniel?"

Smiling, Daniel took the kitten, removing the collar and pulling the 4-carat diamond ring off of it.

He held it in his hands as he knelt down on one knee, looking up at her.

"Melony..I love you with all my heart and soul..I love you more than words can explain, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Melony, will you marry me?"

Melony nodded, "Yes..I'll marry you."

Daniel slipped the ring on her slender finger and stood up, embracing her in a hug and kissing her. "I love you."

"I love you, too."
