(A/N: So we've already made it to August in this story! The year is more than halfway done, and DK and Candy are falling in love all over again! Let's see what will happen here!)

It was a clear Saturday morning in mid-August, and the weather was still very warm, but not uncomfortably warm. DK looked at his calendar and saw that today was a special day. This was the anniversary of the night he met Candy. What had started as another fun summer night turned into a really happy one for DK. The Kongs had been having one of their summer parties on the beach, and DK had been having fun, just like everyone else. But then he noticed someone, a girl he'd never seen before. It was Candy, but he didn't know her yet. However, he knew that he really wanted to go over there and talk to her, get to know her.

Before he could go over and talk to her, he stopped. His first relationship had made him nervous around women, thanks to Evelyn messing with his head. DK didn't know what to do. As much as he wanted to go talk to this new girl, he was much too nervous to do so.

However, he quickly got over his nervousness when he realized something important. If he didn't talk to her tonight, he might not see her again. If he let her get away, he'd be kicking himself for not talking to her when he had the chance. So he went over there to talk to her. They spent the rest of the party talking to each other, getting to know one another, and they really liked each other.

"I'm still glad I spoke to her when I did." DK said to himself as he thought back to that night. Tonight would be as nice as that night had been, mainly because this was the Saturday that they went out on a moonlight picnic. He called Candy to wish her a happy anniversary, and she wished him one back.

"I can't wait to see you tonight." DK said to Candy.

"I'm looking forward to it." Candy replied.

"Not as much as I am." DK thought as he hung up the phone.

Because he really didn't have a lot to do until nightfall, DK spent the better part of the day talking with his nephew, Diddy, who had been a child when DK and Candy got together.

"Look at you now! You two are inseperable!" Diddy said.

"Candy is the banana of my eye! Evelyn never got to the point where I would think of her as such!" DK said.

"If anything, I'm really glad you and Candy are still together. From what I know, Evelyn couldn't make you as happy as Candy does." Diddy said.

"I know..." DK said, lost in love as he started thinking about Candy.

"At the rate they're going, DK will be ready to pop the question any day now. And this time, he won't mess it up." Diddy said with a slight smile as he watched his uncle.

Later that night, DK and Candy were on the beach, reminiscing the night they met.

"You were right over there, and I was over there when I saw you." DK said, pointing out two spots in particular.

"You picked me out, out of all the people at the party?" Candy asked.

"How could I not? You're the loveliest woman I've ever seen." DK said.

"And I couldn't help thinking that you were quite handsome. You still are, by the way." Candy replied.

"How did I get so lucky?" DK asked as he leaned closer to Candy.

"Because you're irresistible." Candy told him, also leaning close to DK, resulting in them sharing a kiss.

"Remember how we spent the remainder of the party just talking?" DK asked.

"We got to know each other pretty well that night. And we probably would've continued talking if Diddy hadn't let you know that everyone was heading home, and that he was getting tired himself." Candy said.

"He did tell me that he's happy for us." DK said.

"Your nephew is quite a kid." Candy smiled.

"Yeah, he's something special, just like you." DK replied, making Candy blush.

They stayed out until 11:00 p.m.

"Wow, I didn't realize it was so late!" Candy said as she looked at her watch.

"Time flies when you're having fun, or having a moonlight picnic to celebrate the anniversary of the night you met your true love." DK said.

"True." Candy said as she and DK got ready to go home and call it a night well-spent.

And when they went to bed, they dreamed about the night they met, glad that it happened.

Aww, more love between DK and Candy, even though this chapter was so short! I apologize for that. Stay tuned for more, 'cause we're still a ways from done!
