I do not own Rocket Power or A Walk To Remember.
Chapter 18: In Love
When Monday morning came along, I gave Reggie, Otto, and Twister a ride to school. Twister and Otto ran off to meet with their friends as Reggie and I walked hand in hand and passed my friends. Of course Margaret was there, looking mad as ever. She was very obviously jealous. Pi and Sputz said completely nothing (even though it's not like you can understand Pi in the first place), but looked at me as if to say, "What the hell is wrong with him?". But I didn't care. I loved Reggie.
Friday night of that week, we went out again. This time we watched the sunset on the boardwalk and talked. When I took her back home, Ray was waiting on the porch impatiently.
"Reggie, say goodnight to Mr. Rodriguez," he told her harshly. He then looked at me. "Lars, go home! The night is over!" I could do nothing but say goodnight to Reggie and Ray. I then turned towards my car and left. I don't know why, but Ray just seemed to hate me. Who would think a Reverend could be so overprotective over his daughter and kick any guy who breathes the same air as her to the curb like a disobedient dog? It was beyond my knowledge. But no one, not even the Reverend, could stop me from loving Reggie Rocket.
The next night, I parked my car a few houses down from Reggie's house so that Ray wouldn't see me. I waited until Reggie came out of the house carrying her telescope in her bag. She walked over to me, and I offered to help her carry her telescope after we exchanged a quick kiss.
"What did you tell your father?" I asked her, curious how she was able to spend time with me without Ray snapping at her feet.
"The truth," she told me as I put the telescope in the trunk of my car. "I just left you out of it."
When we got to the graveyard, she began to set up her telescope. I had a bag of my own, filled with a thermos of coffee and blankets. I told her so, and laid one of the blankets down on the ground.
"You planned this, didn't you?" She asked me as I sat down on the blanket.
"Oh, I was hoping for it," I replied with a smirk on my face. Reggie then returned the smirk.
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
"Why, are you trying to seduce me?" I asked with the same smirk. Of course, we were joking around, but she still shook her head with that huge smile on her face. "Well," I continued, "I figured that would be the case. So I brought two blankets," I said as I pulled another blanket from the bag. "One for me, and one for you."
"Thank you," she said as I got up and walked over to her. I came up behind her and laid my head on her shoulder as she smiled. I kissed her, and then pulled out a star map from my pocket.
"Can you find this star?" I asked, handing the paper to her.
"Sure," she said, then began searching for it through her telescope. I walked back over to my bag and pulled out a rolled-up piece of paper. "Why do you want me to find this star?' She asked, still focusing on the search. I walked over to her.
"Because, I named this star after you," I replied as I smiled, and she looked up from her telescope. "Official certificate of the Stars Incorporation," I told her, waving up the rolled-up piece of paper. She took it from me with an elated look on her face, and then unrolled it.
"This is wonderful," she told me, then looked up from the certificate into my eyes. "I love you," she said to me sweetly, sweeter than all of the chocolate in the world put together. We kissed for a few minutes, the starry sky above us. It was a perfect night, where nothing could go wrong. It was then that I knew that I would spend forever with Reggie.
