Some time passed, as Travis was trying to figure out when is the perfect time to finally propose to Liberty...
Despite everything that Sapphire had told him earlier at the coffee shop, Travis was still worried about what will happen when he attempts to propose to Liberty. So far, for what it's worth, nothing bad actually happened throughout the wait for their food. The only things that had happened since then were that they had finally gotten their drinks and that they already ordered what food they were wanting. Yet still, Travis had a bad feeling that something was going to go extremely wrong tonight once he attempts to propose. He wasn't so sure what will ruin it, but seeing everything here, it literately could be anything.
Eventually the waiter came back to their table with the food they had previously ordered. Travis had ordered himself a baked potato with a side of fries, while Liberty had ordered herself a salad. Both of them were enjoying their meals silently, before Travis decided to stop for a moment to look at the ring box he had been carrying in his vest pocket again. He then places his fork down on the napkin next to his plate, before standing up from the table.
"Liberty, I'll be right back." The man said as he stood up from his chair. "I'm...about to give you the surprise in a moment, but...first, I need to wash my hands."
Liberty nodded her head. "Of course, Travis. Do hurry back." She said.
"I will. No need to worry about me." Travis then kisses his girlfriend on the cheek as he passes her, before making his way over to the bathroom. Liberty was left alone to eat the rest of her food, while waiting for Travis to return.
Once she had finished with the salad bowl that she had, she places it aside and just waited for her boyfriend to come back. She didn't really have anything to do but listen to the radio that was on the ceiling, since she and Travis had previously left their phones in the car to remain focused on this date. At least the radio was playing a song that she likes, which is 'The Rhythm of Love' by The Plain White T's. That's good, at least.
During her wait, however, she couldn't help but notice the same exact girl walking passed her table again, that girl being Pinky. For the large majority of her time here, she had pretty much seen her walking around with her friend, searching around for someone...or something. She was rather curious about what was even going on with them, but never asked since she and Travis knew whatever it was, it really wasn't any of their business whatsoever. Right as Pinky was just about to pass her, Liberty chose to ignore her rather than question her about anything they were doing. She just continued to sit there and wait for Travis to return.
"Any sign of your pet yet, BeeBee?" Pinky asked her friend as she went up to her. "I've searched literately everywhere and I can't find him."
"I haven't seen him either." BeeBee said with a shrug. "I can't believe that one of my subjects is lost in this restaurant."
"Calm down. I'm sure that he hasn't gone too far."
Right as Pinky said that, the girl looked behind her friend seeing the rabbit hopping out from under one of the tables. She then pointed at the small animal upon seeing it, causing BeeBee to quickly turn around to see it too. But right before either one of the two could react, or let alone go and pick it up, the rabbit then hopped under another one of the tables.
Pinky immediately went over to the table, then picked under the table-cloth to try to get the rabbit before it hopped off again. Right as she did such, the rabbit had disappeared once again. She then crawled under the table, before poking her out from the other side, looking up at BeeBee as she did.
"What the actual heck?! Your new pet just disappeared!" Pinky said feeling rather bewildered by all of this. "How does he get away so easily? He's only a rabbit!"
"I don't know." BeeBee said, as Pinky crawled out from under the table. "I just hope he didn't run off too far now."
As the two stood there confused, the both of them could hear the faint sound of two people talking about the rabbit nearby. "Hey, Maria. Is something wrong?" A random nearby man asked his girlfriend.
"Um...yes." The random girl said. "I was just coming back from the front counter, and...for some reason, I thought I saw a rabbit hopped across one of the tables." She then giggled to herself. "Can you believe that, Edwin?"
"A rabbit? Hopping around here?" The girl nodded her head. "I guess both of us are so hungry that now we're just imagining things."
"I wasn't imagining it." She then pointed towards a random direction behind her. "I saw the rabbit somewhere over there."
After overhearing this conversation, BeeBee and Pinky quickly turned their heads towards where Maria was pointing at. It seemed like she was pointing at the left-most corner of the interior of the building, which didn't really have a lot of tables around that area. However, that location still had customers here tonight, regardless. When both girls looked towards that area, the sound of a scream was heard.
"MY WORD!!! THERE'S A RABBIT IN THIS BUILDING!!!" A woman screamed in fear from afar.
Both BeeBee and Pinky cringed, before turning their heads to face each other. "I...think we should check over there first..." The girl in blue said, rather awkwardly.
"Yeah...I totally agree..." The girl in pink said, before both of them began to make their way over to that part of the restaurant.
Both girls ran over to the corner of the restaurant, which was when they finally found the rabbit that they were looking for. It was leaping around the place quicker than it was moments ago, hopping from one table to the other. It didn't matter which table it hopped on, whether it had people at it or not, it was hopping literately everywhere. Other couples here were quickly taking notice of it, most of whom freaked out upon sight of the hare. It doesn't help that even the waiters took notice, and were trying to get the rabbit as well.
Pinky and BeeBee rushed over in hopes of retrieving the small animal before it could cause anymore damage around here than it already was. Unfortunately for both girls, any of their attempts to get the animal failed as it was too quick for them to get. They either accidentally fell onto tables, knocked over tables, landed face-first into food, even crashing into waiters as they tried their best in order to get BeeBee's knew pet. Pinky honestly couldn't believe that one little rabbit could cause so much damage in a couple minutes. It was almost laughable to her how much is happening right now.
The rabbit kept hopping around the place for a few more minutes, until it finally stopped and started to rest onto a cart full of bowls of soup. Pinky smiled, seeing this as a change to finally save the poor animal before one of the waiters did. She began to run over to the cart...only for her to accidentally slipped on some spilled ice cream that was on the floor.
Pinky fell forward, accidentally pushing the cart in the process...
The rabbit hopped off of the cart the moment this happened, and landed into BeeBee's arms, much to her delight...
Unfortunately, for them, the cart headed right for the table that Travis and Liberty were sitting at. Once it crashed into the table, knocking it over it the process. Not only that, but at least three bowls of soup, as well as the bowl of salad that Liberty was currently eating, had all flew at it, leaving her rather flabbergasted by what had just happened.
Liberty lets out a disgusted scream, getting the attention of her boyfriend, who was finally coming back from washing his hands. "What the hell just happened?!" Travis asked, running up to his girlfriend.
"Well, I don't know what the hell had happened either...but those two psychos had spilt soup all over me!" Liberty shouts in anger, while pointing at BeeBee and Pinky. "What on Earth were you two thinking?!"
"I believe that's what some of us wants to know." One of the waiters said, glaring at the two girls.
It was at this moment, Pinky glared over to BeeBee, unhappy that she indirectly caused all of this to happen. "Um...yeah, BeeBee...care to explain to them what had happened?" She asked in a serious tone.
"Hey, don't try to get yourself out of the blame on this one!" BeeBee said while glaring at her friend. "You should've told me to hide the rabbit back into my purse."
"My fault?! You brought him here in the first place!"
"I genuinely don't care who's fault it is, because I'm going home!" Liberty snaps, before storming out of the restaurant. "This was the worst date I have ever been on in my entire life..." She muttered while exiting the building, Travis following her as she left.
"It doesn't matter what happened, but the rules are rules, and they state that pets are prohibited here in this restaurant." One of the waiters said, glaring at the two girls. He then points directly to the front doors of the restaurant. "Since one of you had brought that rabbit in here with you, I'm going to have to ask both of you to leave before I get the manager out here to deal with you."
Finding it fruitless to argue about this, Pinky and BeeBee silently became to head off to the exit so that they can head home. "This is all your fault, I swear..." Pinky mutters, glaring behind herself at BeeBee.
"Oh, whatever, Pinky..." BeeBee mutters back at her friend as they left the building.
About a couple moments later...
Everything was a couple mess for Travis...
His attempt at proposing to Liberty had completely failed. Everything that Sapphire had told him about...how everything was going to actually be okay with he didn't stress out about all of this...he should've known that something was going to go completely wrong. He just couldn't believe that what was suppose to be a romantic date for the both of them completely became awful in a couple minutes. So much for attempting to ask Liberty for marriage.
After they had returned home, Travis was laying in his bedroom feeling completely defeated, while Liberty was showering off after everything that had happened. Neither of them spoke to one another when they were heading back home. Considering that Liberty was still furious when they were driving home, Travis didn't even attempt at trying to talk to her, nor did she even say a single word to him either, not even yelled at him. Then again, there really wasn't much blame to give to Travis for what had happened, but still.
Travis remained sitting there on his bed, before looking at the ring box that he had bought for Liberty. He still hadn't shown her the ring after everything that had happened...for obvious reasons. Looking at the time, it had only been about thirty minutes after the entire ordeal at the restaurant. It might seem like a very, very bad idea to him, but Travis decided that now seems to be a better time than ever to finally tell Liberty what he wanted to surprise her with. Hopefully, Liberty is willing to listen to him, despite all that had happened.
Once Travis gave it a couple more minutes, he went over to Liberty's bedroom so he can finally give her the ring he was wanting to give her. He slowly opened the door, seeing Liberty sitting on her bed wearing her pajamas, looking just as defeated by the day as he was. It was devastating for him to see her in this kind of mood. Stepping into the bedroom, Travis began to speak.
"Hey, Liberty..." He softly said as he entered the bedroom. "...How are you feeling?"
With a stressed groan, Liberty spoke. "What do you think, Travis?" She asked, clearly sounding unhappy. "That was the worst date I have ever been on in our entire relationship."
"I...I know..." He then tried to give his girlfriend an optimistic smile, before placing a hand in his pocket. "But...it's not all bad, really..."
"After what had happened earlier? How is it not all bad?"
"Well...because I haven't shown you that surprise I was meant to show you earlier." He then rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, before stepping closer to his girlfriend. "I was...meant to give it to you back at the restaurant before...well, you know what happened, but...I don't...exactly know if now is a good time to even show you said surprise, but...I feel like...maybe I should give it to you now...in hopes of making things better."
Liberty just stared at Travis, still feeling distraught over the disaster that they went through. But feeling like she needed to know what he was going to give her, she took a sigh before nodding her head. "Alright. What is the surprise, Travis?"
"Well...this..." Travis finally approached the bed, as Liberty sat up.
The moment Travis was close enough to his girlfriend, he reached into his pocket, pulling the ring box out of it. As he opened the ring box, Liberty's eyes widened in awe piecing together what was going on. It was almost as if she had completely forgotten everything the ruined date that they went through once Travis pulled out the ring for her. Once Travis pulled the ring out of the box, he got down onto one knee and then finally spoke.
"Liberty Anna Vincent, I always told myself that of all days, the first day that I met you is and will always be the best day that has ever happened to me. When we had our first study date in the school's library, I knew our friendship would last a lifetime...and when we both had that slow-dance at Senior Prom, I knew our relationship will last a lifetime too...and now, despite everything that had happened back at 'Love and Lunch'..." Travis took a pause before placing the ring in his girlfriend's hand. "...Will you make me even more happier by...being my wife?"
Liberty didn't respond the moment that question was asked. She was stuck in awe at everything that was happening before her, and all that she was even hearing. She was almost at a lost for words at all of this. She will admit, she's never been speechless about anything before, but...she could safely admit that she was at this point.
A tear streamed down Liberty's eye as she tried to finally make out a word to say in response. "Yes." She finally said, almost checking choked up by how happy she now is.
Travis almost felt tears in his eyes after hearing that response. He was worried that Liberty would've said 'no' after the entire disaster that had happened moments ago, but hearing this, he honestly couldn't be more happier than he already is. He sat beside Liberty on the bed, safely placing the ring onto her finger, then kissed her on her cheek.
"I love you, Liberty." Travis said, smiling at his girlfriend.
"I love you too, Travis." Liberty said at him. The two then kissed each other on the lips, happy that things turned out right in the end for them.
Meanwhile...
With Jenny...
It was already time for her to head off home...
It was pretty much another boring day for her today, and she really didn't want to sit outside and wait for the monorail to get to the station connected to the Agency building. Granted, there was also the option to take a bus or taxi back home, but even those two take too long to get here. So, instead of waiting, Jenny decided to ask Ian if he was willing to take her back to her house.
The drive didn't take too long, as Ian had managed to avoid every red light on the way to her house. Once he arrived at Jenny's house, he pulls over to the side of the street where the house was at, allowing his co-worker to collect her things and go. Jenny then picked up her laptop and bag, then got out of the car.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Ian." Jenny said, looking behind herself at the car behind her. "Thanks for the ride home."
"Of course." Ian said. "I'll see you tomorrow too, Jenny." He then rolled up the front seat's window, then drove off back to his own house.
As Ian drove off, Jenny went up to her front porch so that she can get inside. But right before she could go into her house, her eyes quickly took notice of something that was sticking out of her mailbox. It was pretty obvious to her that it was a letter, however, she found it odd that one just appeared in her mailbox this late at night, especially with the fact that her father would've collected all their mail by now. She took the letter out of the mailbox to check it out for herself.
After reading all of it, she took the realization that this was a love letter. This intrigued her. She wasn't expecting anything all too much when it comes to whatever mail that's sent to her specifically, but she wasn't expecting a love letter. She wondered who was the one who even wrote this to her.
She glanced around the letter for a few seconds trying to find a name. But after a couple of seconds of looking around, she found that the name of who sent this was completely nowhere on it. There was no name on the front, or the back. If anything, Jenny could only see the person as one thing, and one thing only.
'Hmm...a secret admirer, I assume...' Jenny thought as she rubbed her chin, still feeling intrigued by this letter. 'Now who would send me this? I don't normally get a lot of boys asking me out...so who could've wrote this to me?' The girl then places the letter into her pocket, before grabbing a hold of the door. 'Not sure, but I feel like James needs to hear about this. I'll tell him tomorrow before I go to work.' Jenny then entered her house, ready to call it a night.
