"Did it hurt the nerdy knight unc?" wondered Clara. "Ya know, trying to get the visions back?" the 13 year old teenager added.
Chuck vividly recalls what he had to go through in order to reactivate the intersect after it was suppressed by his own mother. It wasn't going to be easy by any stretch of the imagination but he was willing to do anything and everything to gain back what was lost. As he was strapped in a chair down in Castle, he felt like a lab rat as a team of scientist did everything in their power to find out how they were going to able to tear down the block that was inhibiting him from flashing. Week after week he went through a battery of tests forgoing any mental and/or physical harm he may endure hoping that he would regain the ability to flash. Granted, of the many tests he wondered why he had to be subjected to waterboarding because in all honesty it felt absolutely pointless. In any case, without the intersect he felt he wouldn't be effective not only as an agent but as a member of the team as well.
"It hurt the scary knight that's for sure." muttered Casey under his breathe. For the former NSA agent, he remember the utter disappointment of not going out on a mission. He, along with Sarah, were specifically ordered by Beckman to stay in Castle.
Chuck clearly heard his burly teammates comment. Instead of responding to the barb, he just exchanged the usual look he would give Casey knowing how much he enjoyed messing with him. His attention on the enforcer of Carmichael Industries is averted to his beautiful 13 year old niece sitting on the floor on the other side of the coffee table next to her parents.
"Well Clare Bear…" answered Chuck. "…not really. It was kinda like how Superman lost his memory and without it he was considered powerless."
"Which one dude?" inquired Morgan.
"Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman with Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher. The episode where an asteroid heads towards earth and Superman destroys it but unfortunately he crashes to earth whereby losing his memory in the process." he stated. "His parents attempt to help get his memory back."
"Ah, episode 12 of season 1. All Shook up." retorted the bearded best friend of Chuck Bartowski. "Lois ended up helping Clark/Superman regain his memory thus saving the world from the asteroid that wasn't totally destroyed.
The leader of Carmichael Industries nodded quickly pointing at his best friend. "Exactly."
The nerdy exchange between the best buds concerning the Superman episode is abruptly ended when the sound of a clear and audible throat is heard. The two men turn to the source…Mary Bartowski.
"I hate to interrupt boys…" softly stated Mary. Her attention from Morgan to her youngest son. "…but Chuck please continue the story for the kid's sake and yours." the matriarch of the Bartowski family added.
Chuck knew what she meant by the and yours knowing how Casey tends to be whenever he and Morgan nerded out. In that instance, he dared not look in his direction but his attention did turn elsewhere by the sound of his son's voice.
"Yeah daddy. I'm dying here." pleaded S.J. to his father.
"Sorry." responded the youngest Bartowski sibling. Chuck takes a brief moment and then continues on with the story. "Anyways, the tiny red head queen's wizards weren't able to restore the nerdy knight's vision."
"What did she do Uncle Chuck?" asked 4 year old Lexi.
"The tiny red headed queen then sent a retrieval knight to help him regain the ability to use his visions small fry." replied Chuck. "The nerdy knight never forgot how he met him."
"How did he met him little brother?" wondered Ellie quirking her right brow.
"Well sis, the nerdy knight met the retrieval knight down in the secret lair. He actually sent other skilled knight to attack him first in order to see how he could handle himself without the use of the fighting abilities provided by the visions." said Chuck.
As Clara sits in comfortable Jabba the Hutt bean bag chair next to her parents, she stares at her tall and lanky uncle never really imagining him to be the type of guy who can fight. In her mind, he's better off fighting bad guys in video games than ones in real life because quite frankly that's how she knew him to be. A man who she grew up knowing only that her uncle works at a Buy More and is charge of the nerd herd. In all honesty, being a typical teenager she was embarrassed to be even seen with him because it wasn't cool in her world. Plus, the other people he worked with totally creeped her out but none more so than Lester. I wonder if he is part of her uncle's spy team she thinks to herself. The thought of Lester possibly being part of her uncle's team sent a shiver down her spine to the point where she shakes that particular thought from her mind.
"So, did he hold his own?" asked Clara quirking his right brow.
The question caused Chuck to briefly sit there and think back to that particular moment in time. He entered Castle and once he did something felt off because it was quiet…too quiet. That right there is what he considered a bad omen in any tv show or movie for that matter and that's when they appeared. Truth be told, he held his own against a number of well trained ninjas despite getting knocking around by them. Of course, he could have done without the throwing star nearly being embedded in his head he thinks to himself. Once that happened, Agent Rye appeared calling off the skilled ninjas and he was thankful for that because he didn't how long he could last on just his fighting ability alone. Granted, he's landed kicks and punches but not with much impact when the intersect is involved.
"Pretty much." Chuck nodded. "It was the retrieval knight's first test for him and he basically told the nerdy knight he was going to help him get back the visions."
"What was he going to do?" questioned Alex with vapid curiosity.
"He was going to scare the nerdy knight to death with fear." answered Chuck. A hush falls within the Grimes family after the brown haired man responded to Alex's question.

"That doesn't sound awesome bro." stated Devon with concern.
"Actually, it was just the opposite Devon." retorted Chuck. "He put his trust in the retrieval knight and was going to do whatever he said in order to be back as a fully functioning knight."
Upon saying that, Sarah shakes her head and then responds to her husband. "The maiden knight had a problem with that."
"Why?" inquired Alex cuddling up next to her bearded husband.
The attention on Chuck quickly avert to the beautiful blonde who briefly glances at her husband sitting to her left. In that moment, she knew just like her husband that a painful memory would be shared once again. However, like many painful memories they've discussed concerning the past they were able to resolve them by being able to talk about it knowing it would heal old wounds.
"The retrieval knight used unorthodox methods to get his vision working again. One of them was to sneak into the living quarters that the maiden and nerdy knight shared in order to put the fear of God into him." responded Sarah. "Let's just say, he could have lost his head because of what he tried to do."
"You got that right babe." nodded Chuck reaching and massaging his neck.
"The retreebol knight is a big fat stupid head." Lexi shakes her head all-the-while tightly embracing her hello kitty doll.
"Seriously!?" A deeply concerned Ellie shakes her head after hearing what her sister-in-law said. In her mind, her baby brother has done some pretty stupid things but to put his own life in the hands of an agent who is risking his life in order to get the intersect unblocked is absolutely insane. It's at that point, she has the urge to get up and slap Chuck upside the head but feels the comforting hands of husband calming her down.
"What kind of knight is this guy Chuck?" wondered Devon continuing to calm his wife down.
Chuck is about to respond but Sarah interjects knowing how she emotionally felt during that particular time. "A knight who knowingly put the man she loves in danger." she firmly stated. "He suggested that he and the nerdy knight go on a mission to a far away land without the maiden and scary knight tagging along. The tiny red headed queen agreed." the blonde beauty added.
"Yikes. I bet the maiden knight didn't like that at all." responded Morgan.
"She didn't." grunted Casey sitting comfortably on his barco lounger with his granddaughter sitting on his lap. "While the nerdy knight ventured off to the far away land, the maiden knight paced back and forth in the secret lair. It was annoying to the point where she sent several magical fairies with a message to see how he was doing." the proud marine added.
Sarah immediately eyed her long time partner with an icy stare. Normally, the stare she gave would cause any man, woman, or child for that matter to look away in absolute fear but the two of them have been partners for so long that Casey became immune to her nonverbal threat to inflict bodily harm. "Hey, the maiden knight was concerned all right."
"Too concerned if you asked me." stated Chuck turning his head to face his wife.
"What does that mean?" replied Sarah turning the icy stare towards her husband.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the Grimes family room shifted into a seemingly tense situation as husband and wife are "discussing" what happened between the two of the them. The silence is palpable as if all the air suddenly got sucked out of the room leading everyone to hold their breath in order to their eyes on Chuck and Sarah. The momentary silence between the two of them would inevitably end as Chuck responds to his wife. "Do you remember what the maiden knight said to the nerdy knight when she spoke to him in the magical mirror?"
"She only said that because she was scared Chuck." Sarah softly replied.
"What did she say Aunt Sarah?" inquired Clara with vapid curiosity.
There is a brief pause on Sarah's part as she's locked eyes with her husband. Her attention on her husband would break off once he nodded silently telling her to answer her niece-in-law's question. After clearing her throat, she turns her head to face her answering her question. "She told the nerdy knight that because he didn't have the visions or the fighting ability he wasn't a knight."
The presence of painful looks appear on every individual's face in the room with the exception of Casey. The adults and Clara knew that going down memory lane wasn't going to be all smiles and giggles. Tears have been shed, words have been exchanged, and most definitely individuals have been thrown under the bus but through it all they've become a closer family because of it.
"What made her say that?" wondered Alex glancing at Sarah then turning her attention to Chuck.
"Well…" responded Chuck clearing his throat. "…it started with a conversation the nerdy and the retrieval knight had after acquiring a gem from a bad guy with important information hidden inside. The nerdy knight asked…"
"Do you think Sarah is the emotional Rock sitting on the intersect?" asked Chuck standing by Rye as he sat in front of his laptop.
Rye peers up at a seemingly doubtful and not to mention emotional Chuck. "Why do you always call for her right before you flash? You did it in the bedroom and in the vault." he stated.
"Yeah…" The question Rye posed caused him to become defense. "…well, you know…I was…"
"Scared. Perfectly normal…" His attention on Chuck briefly returns to the laptop in front of him then back up to him. "…for a nerd herder. But a spy Chuck, handles his fears on his own." Rye firmly stated.
"Or her own." Chuck retorted with a slight nod.
"Ask yourself a question…" Chuck and Rye lock eyes as the one time reluctant spy anticipates what the experienced spy has his pondering. "…are you a spy or a guy who has a spy girlfriend?"
"I'm a spy."
"So, that's what led to what the maiden knight saying he wasn't a knight?" inquired Clara
"Basically." replied Chuck. "The mission suddenly became dangerous and that's when the maiden knight told the nerdy knight she was going to join them but he told her not to. He informed her that they had things well in hand and he didn't want her holding his hand because it was so dangerous." he added giving a sideways glance to his wife.
"It's understandable." Mary stated. Her response causes Chuck and Sarah to turn their attention to her. "You have to see it from the maiden knight's point of view. As a knight, she has been trained to think like she has nothing to lose because she is expendable. However, now that she has someone to love she has everything to lose in the nerdy knight. She wanted to protect him but the way she went about it was wrong and quite possibly hurt him. That's how love goes sometimes because the notion that you're trying to protect the ones you love can cause you to say or do things that will have you end up kicking yourself. It's how we learn from the mistakes that make us better people in the end."
After hearing that, Sarah turns her head to look at her husband. A soft smile appears on her lips as she reaches for Chuck's right hand resting on the arm of the couch. She takes it, squeezes it, and then responds to what her mother-in-law said. "If I were the maiden knight in that situation, I would say I'm sorry."
A smile appears on Chuck's lips upon hearing that. "If I were the nerdy knight, I would accept the apology." he added taking her hand in order to kiss the top of it.
The special moment between the happily married couple is abruptly ended by the sound of a very distinct grunt and audible moan. They can clearly verify that its Casey and Clara who want the show of affection to be over with and quickly get the show on the road. It's at that point, the two hear their 6 year old son speak up by posing a seemingly pertinent question in his mind.
"When is the mushy stuff over? Is there any fighting daddy?" bellowed S.J. sitting comfortably on his grandmother's lap.
"As a matter of fact there is son." replied Chuck nodding in his direction. "The nerdy and retrieval knight throw down with the bad guy and his henchmen.
"Awesome. Did they win?" S.J. eager asked.
"Unfortunately, the bad guy and his henchmen won this time. They captured him." retorted the proud father of a 6 year old son.
"What happened to the retrieval knight dude?" asked Morgan.
"He was vanquished Morg. Died in the line of duty." Chuck replied with remorse in his voice.
"Oh no." Lexi breathed out clutching her hello kitty doll. "The bad guys have the nerdy knight."
"Don't worry small fry." gruffly stated Casey rubbing the side of his granddaughter's left arm. The little girl showed great concern on her face as she turns to her grandfather. "He'll be rescued."
"Are you sure grandpa." inquired little Lexi.
Casey is about to answer when Sarah interjects. "He's sure sweetie…" Lexi attention is averted from her grandfather to her blonde aunt. "…because it's the maiden knight who goes to rescue him and absolutely nothing will stop her or get in her way from accomplishing that goal." she firmly stated.
"Promise." the 4 year old softly stated.
"I promise baby." replied Sarah.
"Awesome." quickly replied Lexi expressing a smile on her face.

"The maiden knight did everything in her power in order to try to get the nerdy knight back. She even broke a few rules too." stated Sarah.
"What did she do sis?" asked Ellie with vapid curiosity.
"She captured a man that worked with the bad guy but there is a problem." the blonde beauty answered.
"What problem?" wondered Alex.
"The place where he is located at is considered off limits to the knights even though its in Buymoria." responded Casey.
"So…" stated Clara. "…the dude had some type of diplomatic immunity or something like that unc?"
Sarah nodded. "Yup. Thankfully she didn't care about that and captured him anyways with the help of the scary knight. Afterwards, they took him to the secret lair in order to get information as to the location of the nerdy knight. She was in the middle of interrogating him when the scary knight stepped in."
"Why did he do that?" wondered Alex quirking her right brow. Her attention on her best friend Sarah is averted to her father.
"In his eyes, the maiden knight was becoming the Moorish King's wild card knight. A knight who he considered very unpredictable and quite frankly didn't like that side of her." answered Casey.
"The trusted squire can attest to that." interjected Morgan. "That maiden knight was scary to the point where he had to get in between the two knights before they fought each other. The scary knight told her to not only go home but get some sleep as well." the bearded man added. "So she did."
"It was at the living quarters that she shared with the nerdy knight that the maiden knight discovered a plan in the pocket of his shirt." said Sarah.
Chuck immediately quirked his right brow. "She did?"
Sarah nodded. "As she was looking at it, the trusted squire came in to check to see how she was doing."
"That was nice of him." responded Alex rubbing her husband's left arm causing him to express a soft smile as he turns to look at his wife. After a brief moment between the married, she asked her husband a question. "What plan was it?"
"It was the nerdy knight's proposal plan. It had been changed many times but it's purpose was straight and to the point. He was going to ask the maiden knight to marry him." stated Morgan.
For Chuck, this is the first time he heard this. Granted, during his coma state Sarah told him about the plan but he basically chalked it up to him hallucinating the whole thing. "So what happened next?"
"It gave the maiden knight even more determination to find him. In her mind, she had to go it alone, so she locked the scary knight in the secret lair's dungeon and ventured off to the jungle. It was there that she set a path of destruction leaving behind beaten bodies in order to get back the man she loves. She finally was able to track down the man who knows where the bad guy was but in order to get the information she had to fight his best warrior."
"Sweet!" hollered S.J.
"Unbeknownst to her, the maiden knight was given a new nickname because of her scary presence." gruffly stated Casey.
"What nickname?" wondered Mary.
"The giant fair haired she-male." Casey replied.
"Wow." stated Chuck.
"Seriously?" Alex responded.
"Cool nickname. Was the guy's best warrior tough Aunt Sarah?" inquired Clara.
Sarah is about to answer when Morgan quickly interjects. "Think of it this way Clara, he was a combination of like the main bad guy from the movie Kickboxer and the main bad guy from movie Bloodsport both starring the muscles from Brussels Jean-Claude Van Damme." he explained waving both hands in a chopping motion.
"Haven't seen it." the 13 year old replied.
"They're awesome movies." responded the bearded best friend of Chuck Bartowski. "I have them on DVD. If you want to borrow…"
"Get on with the story moron." grumbled Casey.
"Anyhoo…" Morgan quickly said complying with his father-in-law's wishes. "…the trusted squire and scary knight eventually found the maiden knight. She was going toe to toe with the bad guy's best warrior. She was holding her own when all of sudden the warrior cheated throwing sand in her eye."
"Dude, that's so not awesome. When will bad guys ever learn to play fair." stated Devon shaking his head.
"They never will bro." retorted Sarah. "Anyways, the maiden knight won the battle leading her to get the information of where the nerdy knight was located at."
"That's awesome…" Clara stated. "…but what about the nerdy knight. What was happening to him?." she inquired turning her attention from her aunt to her uncle.
"Well…" answered Chuck reaching with his right hand to rub the back of his neck. "…the nerdy knight was in a coma like state and experiencing scary dreams."
Ellie instantly quirks her right brow expressing concerning on what her little brother just said. "What were they about?"
"They were basically about how he was losing everybody in his life. That scared him." the youngest Bartowski sibling answered. "Everything around him was going black until he heard the maiden knight's voice."
"What did she say to him aunt Sarah?" wondered Lexi with curiosity.
"It went something like this sweetie…"
After knocking out The Belgian, she rushes to Chuck's side. "Chuck? Chuck! Oh, my God." As Sarah pleaded, tears begins to run down the side of her cheek. She quickly unfastens his restrains and removes the devices attached to his head that monitor his brain waves. It's at that point, her emotions take over as tears continue to fall down her cheek. "Chuck, come on, please wake up. Chuck, listen to me. I'm here. Chuck, I'm here. Chuck, I'm here. I came to rescue you. I'm right here, Chuck. Chuck, please, come on." she continues to plead.
In that moment, Morgan steps in to help out with the situation at hand. Hey, tell him what you told me before, okay?" he softly stated. "He'll hear that, I know it. This is your chance. Don't…don't be Sarah Walker the spy, be Sarah Walker the girlfriend."
Sarah takes Morgan's words into consideration. She sets aside the hard nosed agent and brings forth the woman who life's he completely changed. "Chuck, please. Chuck, I love you. Please wake up. I have so much that I want to tell you." Sarah pauses for a brief moment. Her hands gently hold either side of his neck as she continues on in attempt to wake up the man she loves. "I found your proposal plan. You were gonna do it on the beach in Malibu. Where we watched the sun rise after our first date. There were several race cars involved. Chuck, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't care if you have the Intersect or not. Without you, I'm nobody. I'm nothing but a spy. Come back to me, Chuck. I want to marry you." she softly said leaning in pressing her lips against his. When she leans back to look at him, Sarah witnesses him slowly wake up from his comatose state. "Chuck." he breathes out as he hands holds either side of his cheeks. Chuck quickly pops up into a sitting position and immediately locks lips with his lady love who is extremely happy that he's not only safe, but in her arms as well.
"He's okay. He's okay. Yeah, he's fine." proclaims Morgan as he looks back at Casey while raising both arms in the air.
Sarah's attention is focused solely on Chuck as she locks eyes with him. There is so many things that she wants to say but ends up only saying one word to him. "Hi." the blonde beauty said. Chuck doesn't respond but instead wraps his arms around Sarah leading the two of them to just embrace other.
"That's so touching." stated Ellie wiping away the tears from her eyes.
"Indeed babe." responded Devon consoling his wife.
"It certainly was." chimed in Alex wiping tears away as well.
"A happy ending for the two knights…" said Clara. "…at least I hope it is." she firmly added eyeing her tall and lanky uncle.
"For now it is Clare Bear. For now it is." Chuck replied.
"So what happens next daddy?" wondered S.J.
"Well buddy, the nerdy knight and his family celebrate festivus but two surprise guests show up." the brown haired man answered.
"Who?" asked Lexi.
"The first surprise guest is the frost knight." stated Sarah.
The spitting image of Ellie Bartowski smiles at her grandmother then turns her attention back to her uncle. "And the second?" wondered Clara quirking her right brow.
Chuck looks directly into the eyes of his 13 year old niece. "Emperor Volkoff."
"Whoa. So not awesome." the young teenager responded.

"Before the Frost Knight and Emperor Volkoff arrived to celebrate Festive, he sent ruthless assassins to vanquish the nerdy knight. Fortunately, the frost knight vanquished them before they accomplished the mission." Mary stated.
"The nerdy knight was very lucky that frost knight was there to help him huh grandma." the 13 year old said.
"Yes he was." replied Mary expressing a smile towards her son.
Chuck reciprocated the smile then continued on with the story. "Well kiddo, even though the frost knight saved her son he didn't completely trust her. So, they took her back to the secret lair in order to question her."
"What did they find out." wondered Devon.
"Not much because the nerdy knight kept trying to get answers on why she left his family." grunted Casey. "They basically threw him out of the interrogation room so they could be able to talk to her. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be able to get any further information because Emperor Volkoff along with his minions arrived taking over the market square."
"Thankfully, it was late at night and nobody was around so no innocent lives were harmed or vanquished for that matter." stated Sarah.
"It basically turned into a total Die Hard situation with Emperor Volkoff taking over the market square. He cast a spell to take control of the magical weapons that were hidden within the area." Chuck chimed in.
"Yeah dude. The trusted squire attempted to do a John McClain in order to save the scary knight and the jester squires who were captured."
"Let me guess…" stated Clara. "…he got captured."
Morgan simply nodded his head causing Clara to shake hers. He dared not mention duct taping a gun to his back like how Bruce Willis' character did near the end of the movie. Even though it worked for John McClain, it epically failed for one Morgan Grimes. It's at that point Chuck's 6 year old son chimes in. "What did he want daddy?" inquired S.J.
"Well buddy, he wanted the frost knight because according to him, she was the love of his life." answered the proud father of a 6 year old boy.
"Ewwwww." responded Clara quickly turning her attention to her grandmother. "Seriously? Did she actually love him back?" she added with absolute curiosity.
"Of course not sweetheart. The frost knight's heart will always belong to her husband Orion." Mary replied. "It's just that in Emperor Volkoff's mind, he considered her to be his one true love. He threatened to destroy Buymoria unless he got back the frost knight and after careful consideration the two knights brought her to him."
"What happened?" wondered a wide eyed Alex.
"Emperor Volkoff was angry and was prepared to vanquish the nerdy knight but the frost knight stopped him. She revealed to him that he was her son. Instead of vanquishing him, he embraced him kissing both side of his cheeks. That's when the nerdy knight's sister sent him a magical fairy message." said Sarah.
"What did it say?" Lexi inquired with a slight tilt to her head.
"It said munchkin…" chimed in Ellie. "…for the nerdy and maiden knight not to be late for Festivus dinner."
"It was because of that message that Emporer Volkoff invited himself for dinner. He had his minions hold the scary knight, trusted squire, and the jester squires as hostages at the market square in case the 2 knights tried anything." said the brown haired man.
"How did the Festivus dinner go?" Clara asked.
"It was tense to say the least. Emperor Volkoff talked with the nerdy knight's sister sharing with her how he was the frost knight's handler. During all this, the nerdy knight informed his brother-in-law about the situation and a plan was made to get help. Anyways, to make a long story short, the dinner went off without a hitch." Sarah stated.
Chuck nodded confirming what happened. His attention on her then turns to everyone else in the room. "Unfortunately, Emperor Volkoff knew the nerdy knight tried to trick him and knowing that the maiden knight pull her sword on him."
"Oh snap!" S.J. hollered.
"What the nerdy knight did not expect was the frost knight drawing her sword inevitably pointing it at the maiden knight." Mary recalled. "It suddenly became a standoff to the point where Emperor Volkoff drew his sword and threatened to vanquish the maiden knight."
"So what happened?" inquired a wide eyed Ellie.
"Yeah unc…" chimed in Clara sitting upright and leaning forward on the Jabba the Hutt bean bag chair. "…what happened."
"Well, the frost knight drew her weapon on Emperor Volkoff. She basically threatened him to leave her family alone or she wouldn't love him." answered Mary. "He complied with her ultimatum."
"That is one seriously messed up dude right there." S.J. proclaimed shaking his head in disbelief.
"You don't know the half of it buddy." responded Chuck. "Anyways, after not trusting his mother for so long the nerdy knight finally tells her he does. It was then that the frost knight and Emperor Volkoff disappeared out of sight."
"I bet the frost knight loved to hear that huh grandma." Clara state winking at her grandmother.
"Yes she did." Mary replied.
"Oh…" Sarah interjected getting everybody's attention. "…I forgot to mention that the nerdy knight got his visions back."
A sudden commotion rings out within the Grimes family room, especially from the kids who are completely flabbergasted by the sudden revelation. "How!? When!? Who!?" blurted out Clara.
In that instance, Ellie chimes in. "Apparently, Orion left a magical orb in the pouch of his favorite mustang that he left to his daughter the sister healer. She retrieved it and spent time solving a problem that her father could fix."
"Unfortunately, the handsome healer didn't want his wife to be part of the knight life. So, he got the magical orb and gave it to the nerdy knight much to his surprise." Devon stated.
"So, did he touch the orb and got his visions back?" Alex wondered.
"He did and it felt so good to have them back." smiled Chuck. "The nerdy knight is once again plugged back into the matrix."
"Awesome. So what happened next?" asked S.J. with curiosity.
"Well son…" responded Chuck briefly glancing at his wife. "…a very important mission of the heart. The nerdy knight proposes to the maiden knight.
"So awesome." Ellie excitedly proclaimed.
"You got that right." agreed Alex.
"However…" Chuck stated causing the smiles within the room to fall flat.
"I knew it!" stated Clara shaking her head in disappointment.
A soft smile appears on Chuck's face upon the reaction of his 13 year old niece. "However…" he reiterated. "…things don't always go as planned."
