As Alison was walking back to her house, she looked at the beautiful surroundings. The flowers were freshly in bloom, so she stopped to smell some pink roses by the park. The pretty birds were singing a sweet melody, which almost made Alison stop and dance. If only Rafe were there at that exact moment it would be perfect. She had to get home so she could drag him out of the house and show him just how simply remarkable the world was. Everything finally was getting back into place. She had her angel back, a new job, a baby on the way, and she was getting married soon. What more could a girl ask for? Well, it would be nice to have her car. The old piece of junk failed her right after her interview with the Port Charles bank. At least she got the job. Now maybe she could buy a new car!

"Rafe, I'm back! You won't believe this. I got the job! But I also am now without a car. It broke down on the way back, so I brought it to the used car lot. I'm just going to sell the old thing and get a new one. Um sweetie, what are you doing?" Alison walked into the living room to find Rafe doing the disco! She had to bite her lip to keep from laughing.

"Oh Alison, hey! Congrats!"

"Rafe, you do know this is the 21st century, right?"

"Yes, so what's your point?"

"My point is that you need some new moves." She gave him a kiss and then stepped back to look at him. He was still dancing to that funky 70's music, and she couldn't help but laugh. Rafe suddenly stopped and looked at her.

"You think this is funny?"

"Um, funny, no. Just extremely hilarious!" Alison was now unable to control herself, laughing so hard that she was crying.

"Oh ok. I see how it is." Rafe got this sudden look of evil on his face, and tackled her to the ground.

"Rafe! What are you doing?"

"Say you're sorry."

Alison laughed. "Not a chance."

"Alright, fine. I'll just lay here on top of you until you do"

Alison rolled her eyes. "Oh come on Rafe. You have to admit it was funny. I mean, if you walked in and saw me dancing to disco, wouldn't you laugh?"

Rafe thought about it, and then laughed himself. "Ok so it would be kind of funny." She pushed him off of her and tickled his ribs, making him laugh more and tickle her back. Alison giggled and said, "Did I tell you today how much I love you?"

"Hmm, I think so. But you can tell me again."

"I love you, so much."

"And I love you, forever." They wrapped their arms around each other and kissed, not wanting to ever let go. Unfortunately they had to, since there was a knock on the door.

Rafe groaned. "Oh man, do we have to answer that?"

"Come on Rafe, it could be someone we really want to see."

"Oh, remind me later I have a very funny story to tell you."

"If it's funnier than you doing the disco, I have to hear it!"

He playfully punched her arm before he went to answer the door. "Cousin, what a surprise! Come on in."

Alison smiled and gave Lucy a little hug. "Hi Lucy!"

"Hey there you two love birds. Alison, what are your plans for the rest of the day?"

She looked at her watch and saw that it was a little before 4pm. "I was just going to cook some dinner. Other than that, nothing."

"Great, then you're coming with me."

"Aw cousin, can't I come too?" Rafe asked, giving an adorable puppy dog look.

"Not unless you want to go shopping for wedding and bridesmaids dresses."

Rafe laughed. "No thanks, you ladies go have fun. And don't worry about dinner angel, I'll cook for us tonight."

Alison kissed Rafe in gratitude and grabbed her purse. "Ok I'm ready. Bye sweetheart."

"Bye angel. And Lucy, stop by again. I never get to see you enough anymore."

"We'll have to do lunch sometime this week. Well, ta!" They left, leaving Rafe with nothing to do but wait for Alison to come back. And find some food to cook. There was another knock at the door a few minutes later.

"Well, this certainly seems to be the happenin' place in Port Charles today!" Rafe said to himself before opening the door. On the other end of the door was Livvie. He knew he had to be polite as possible, but it didn't really matter, seeing as they didn't have to go to court to get divorced or anything. So that meant that he could be as rude as he wanted to be. Excellent!

"What do you want?"

"Yeah good afternoon to you too Rafe." "Alright, good afternoon. Now what is it?"

"Well, as you may know, we don't have to get a divorce. But since you will be marrying Alison soon from what I've heard around the city, I figured you might like to know what your dear fiancée is up to." Livvie fished a tape recorder out of her pocket.

"What is that?"

"Here, listen." She played the tape to reveal an answering machine message from Alison. Or, what sounded like Alison anyway. "Livvie, this is Alison. I'm just leaving you a message to let you know that you best watch you're back. Rafe and I are together again, so that means you can't have him. If I catch you anywhere near my man again, I swear I'll kill you. And I mean that literally."

Rafe gave Livvie a look. "Oh Livvie, stop this crap! Do you honestly think I believe that's Alison? I mean, sure, it sounds like her. But I know how you work and there is no way I'm believing any more of you're lies. So you can take you're little tape recorder here and go. Just go. Don't pass go, don't collect $200, just go!"

"Alright fine. But don't say I didn't warn you."

Rafe shoved her out the door. "Yeah, yeah, just get the hell out of here."

"I don't believe this," Rafe said to himself. "First that Ray guy, now this. Is the world trying to test my love for Alison or something?"

"Well well, looks like angel boy hit it right on the nose!" James was watching Rafe on the special monitor.

"And it looks like the game is almost over James," Ed said, happy again for his son's accomplishments.

"The game may be almost over Edward, but it doesn't mean you'll win. For your boy's final task, I have cooked up something that will definitely make him lose."

"And what may I ask is this task going to be?" James gave his usual wicked smile and said, "Just a matter of life, and death."
