Part Six

Belle and Shawn had been an officially a couple for nearly two months, and Marlena had lost her second bet to Hope. Neither Shawn nor Belle had ever been happier in their lives.

One night, they sat in the porch swing in Shawn's backyard, staring up at the stars.

"Look, Belle, a shooting star! Quick, make a wish!" Shawn told Belle as he pointed into the depths of the sky.

Belle closed her eyes and made a silent wish. She then opened her eyes and smiled at Shawn.

"What did you wish for?"

"I can't tell you until it's already come true. Did you make one?"

"No. My wish already came true."

"You're too sweet." With that, Belle gave him a quick kiss.

"Hey, my parents just left, let's go inside!" Shawn excitedly took Belle by the hand and led her inside.

He sat her down on the couch. "I'm so glad we're alone finally."

Belle chuckled. "Shawn, we were alone outside."

"No, I mean completely alone, with the house to ourselves. I got something for you." Shawn stood up and went to the entertainment center, where he brought out a present he had hidden.

"Why?"

"Not to be too corny or whipped or whatever, but we've been together for exactly two months, and I decided to get you a little something. It's not much, it didn't even cost me very much, but I thought you'd like it."

Belle unwrapped the present and saw a pretty bracelet in the box. "Shawn, it's beautiful."

"Like I said, it's not much-"

"No, it doesn't have to be."

"Well, it's not like one of those expensive bracelets."

"It's perfect. I love it. Thank you." Belle took it out and put it on her wrist. Then she gave him a kiss again. "You're a wonderful boyfriend, you know that?"

Shawn smiled sheepishly. "I once heard this quote that a knight is only as good as the woman riding next to him."

"I like that."
