Riddle
Rachel got home that Friday to find a bouquet of roses on the living room table. Propped up against the vase was a large sheet of scrapbooking paper that had question marks all over it. She dropped her bag and coat on the couch and picked up the paper. Immediately, she recognized Santana's handwriting on the other side.
What gets wetter the more it dries?
When you have the answer, proceed to your next clue.
She smiled. It was an ongoing pissing contest between the two of them, seeing who could stump the other with a riddle. She thought about it for a second, pretty sure she'd heard this one before. "A towel!" Assuming that that was where her next clue would be, she scurried to their bathroom. Sure enough, another riddle was there.
I go around the world, but stay in one corner. What am I?
"Too easy. A stamp."
She scurried all over the house for another hour finding a sponge (I have holes, but still hold water. What am I?), a box of tissue (toss me from a building, I will not break. Drown me in water, I will.), and the one that took the longest to figure out, a shoe (I run over fields all day. At night I wait under the bed to be filled in the morning. I am never alone). By the end of it, she was still going purely out of her sense of competitiveness. Her last clue was less of a riddle and more of a word puzzle.
Where there's a _, there's a way.
_ catch more bees with honey than with vinegar.
Don't _ the person you think you can live with; _ the person you can't live without.
Show _ your friends and I will show you your character.
She had to skip over the third one, but once she'd filled in all the others, she could guess. "Santana?" she called.
"Yes?"
Rachel spun around. "Where were you?"
"Hiding in Kurt's room. Did you figure it out?"
"Are you asking what I think you're asking?"
Santana smiled, got down on one knee, and pulled out a ring box. "Yes. Rachel Barbara Berry, will you marry me?"
Rachel half hugged, half tackled her. "Yes!"
"Awesome. And I'm counting that third blank as a win for me since you didn't guess it."
Rachel just laughed.
