[pic]Chapter Two- The Perfect Dream?
A/N-I Know it's been a long time but I was really busy the past month. Disclaimer- I do not own any of these characters or The Lost World. I'm not making any money off of this either.
It was early the next morning. Veronica, Challenger, and Roxton were still sleeping silently in their tents.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marguerite was sleeping on a chair next to Malone's bed. He had a fever and was still unconscious. Marguerite hoped that he'd just wake up and put an end to all her worries.
Bright sunlight started to seep through the bedroom window. Marguerite's eyes fluttered open. It took her a while to realize where she was. She looked around and spotted Malone, still unconscious. Marguerite reached over and gently put her hand on his forehead. Marguerite suddenly found herself staring at the reporter.
"When Malone's not asking questions, or making jokes, he can be rather handsome." Marguerite was thinking out loud. "If only I could just find that antidote. Maybe we could... What am I thinking!!? Roxton's my man, not Neddy- Oh my God! Did I just call him Neddy? Dear Lord, am I talking to myself?" Marguerite immediately turned red. *I think I need some breakfast.* Marguerite left Malone's room and walked to the kitchen.
~~~~~~~In the mind of Ned Malone
"How much longer?" The woman, who was blindfolded, asked eagerly.
"We're almost there." Ned said to the woman sitting in the passenger seat of his car. "Be patient honey." A minute of silence passed. "All right, we're here." Malone already had the car parked in the driveway. He stepped out the driver's side door and walked to the other side. Malone opened the passenger door and helped his wife out. He closed the door and untied her blindfold.
"Oh my God! Neddy, this is absolutely marvelous!" His wife exclaimed. They were staring at the house, which was fit for the king of England. "This place must have cost a fortune!"
"Nothing is too expensive for the woman I love. You know I'd do anything for you." Ned smiled at his wife. "You've spoken to me before about wanting to live in a castle with faithful servants, delicious food, and every designer outfit Pierre Meyers from Paris has ever created. Well if you'd follow me, I'll show you all of that and more." Malone held his loves handed walked with her to the door.
"It's so big! I still don't understand how you could afford such a home."
"Well, I've never told anyone this before, but my grandfather was a very wealthy man. Probably, the richest American Newspaper owner in all of America. When he died four years ago, he left all of his wealth to me. I've never really used any of it until our wedding and while purchasing this home. I wanted everything to be perfect."
"And it is." The woman said simply. They stopped in front of the doors and kissed passionately. A minute later they pulled back and faced each other. "I love you Ned Malone, more than life itself. You're the kindest, caring and most handsome man I have ever met."
"I love you too Marguerite, more than you could ever imagine." He held Marguerites hand in his own. "Now lets see what's waiting for us inside shall we?"

A/N- What??!!! Marguerite???!!!! Did I make a mistake or something? NOPE. I'm giving those two a chance to be together, at least in Malone's dream. Please don't hurt me.
