~*~



Time Lapse~ Lobster Shack. Ethan, Theresa, Hank, and Sam are there waiting. When Luis, Sheridan, Britt, and Kati arrive a 'little' late, Ethan gets up and looks at his watch. "It's about time you guys showed up!" he exclaimed.



Britt goes over to hug him. "Kati couldn't find a purse." She tells him. Ethan laughs and hugs Kati.



"Now why doesn't that surprise me?" says Sam.



Kati looks over at him. "I have too many!" she says.



Sam walks over to her. "Hey gorgeous, you look good." He complimented her.



"So do you." She replies.



"Oh I know." Sam answers sarcastically.



She giggles and they hug. Britt, at this point is talking to Theresa.



"Oh my God Kati! You have to see this rock!" Britt exclaims while holding Theresa's hand out in front of her.



"Move over! Let me see!" Kati yells as she practically runs over. She takes one quick look at the gorgeous ring. "Oh, one and a half carat-easy." She says. This stuns Ethan. (See where he lacks common sense?) "Kati, that's exactly right." Ethan tells her, "How did you know that?"



"Uh.Ethan?" Sheridan started, "did you just meet Kati?"



Everyone laughs, except for Hank and Britt, who by this point, are staring at each other. Luis waves his hand in front of their faces. "Yep, their in a trance." He says sarcastically.



Hank walks over to Britt. "Hey you." He says softly.



"Hi." Britt says in the same tone.



"It's been a long time."



"Too long."



"It's great to see you again." Hank says.



"It's great to see you too." Britt says.



They smile and hug while the gang is staring and smiling.



"Lopez-Fitzgerald, party of eight." Says a waiter with a pile of menus. He shows them to their seats in a private room. They sit down and order a few drinks from the bar. Kati ordered a Red wine and Britt ordered a White Zinfandel. Everyone else ordered the same thing.



"Ya know what? I can't believe you two are getting married." Britt says.



"I remember when you couldn't even be in the same room together." Says Theresa.



Sam laughs "Not even the cafeteria!"



Hank cuts in "OH my God! The food fight you started our sophomore year. You got in a lot of trouble afterwards."



Sheridan covers her face.



Ethan chuckles, "As I recall, so did you and Britt apparently."



"Yes Hank, why was that?" Luis asks with a smirk.



Hank and Britt stare at each other.



"Well." Hank begins, "we didn't want to get covered with food, so we went under a table and."



"Started making out?" finished Sam.



Britt blushes a Hank notices that she is uncomfortable. "Well it's not like you and Kati have good experiences with tables!" Hank argues.



Kati starts laughing. "We went under a table too, cause ya know, my outfit was cute. Shut up." She said before anyone had a chance to comment.



"Yeah," began Sam "we banged our heads and the table collapsed."



"Right before you were about to.never mind." Kati stopped herself.



"Kiss you?" Sam said softly finishing for her.



That wasn't smart however because Kati was taking a sip of her RED wine and kinda, well, spit it in his face because she was so shocked. Sam jumped back.



"Oh my God!" Kati said as she put her glass down and reached over to hand him a napkin. Big mistake. As she leaned forward, her elbow banged her glass and spilled her again RED wine all over his khaki pants. Kati was mortified. Everyone was silent, just staring at the scene in front of him or her. Luis was the first to laugh. Everyone joined in, including Sam. Kati must have apologized about a billion times. The waiter comes and we place our order and he brings more wine.



"Hey Buddy!" Luis says, "Don't give her anymore wine!" He was clearly referring to Kati. Hank, who hadn't taken his eyes off Britt since she got there, picked up his glass and raised it toward her. Britt smiles and bites her bottom lip. Red is not even a color to be used to describe her face. Hank smiles. Sam leans over and whispers, "you stare at her any longer, she'll be brighter than a tomato."



"Shut up Sam." Hank said as he watched Britt talk to Theresa about the wedding. The dinner came. We ate it. No need for details. The band starts to play the 'Tango'. Luis' head pops up and he smiles and looks at Sheridan. "Hey babe, they're playing our song." Sheridan smiles and throws down her napkin. "Let's go." They get up and begin to tango. They are completely in-synch on the dance floor. Never taking their eyes off each other. Sam rolls his eyes and says, "We can do that. Come on Kati."



"Uh, Okay." Kati says, not sure if she can do the dance right.



Seeing them 'trying' to do the tango was hysterical. They were completely offbeat and their feet surprisingly got entangled and they 'just so happened' to fall on top of each other.



Luis looks down at them while still dancing, "Having some trouble?" he asks as he spins Sheridan around. Sam and Kati laugh and get up. A slow song begins to play and they dance to that. Ethan and Theresa get up too. Hank looks at Britt and nods his head towards the dance floor, "Come on." He says. He takes her hand and leads her to the dance floor. They start to sway back and forth. While Kati and Sam are dancing, Sam whispers in Kati's ear, "I have a surprise for you after dinner."



"What?" she asks.



"You'll see."



The song ends and everyone sits down. They order coffee and Luis tells Sam to move his chair back in case Kati has another little accident.



"Ya know Luis, if you weren't sitting over there, I'd slap you." Kati yells at him. "But you might break another nail!" Luis said, mimicking what she said earlier. Sheridan hits him.



"Thanks." Kati said with a smirk.



"No problem." She looks over at Luis, "stop making fun of her!"



"But I haven't been able to tease her for years! I have to make up for lost time!" Luis whines.



Everyone laughs. The check came. The guys paid. Enough said. Everyone said their goodbyes and Sheridan tells Theresa to come over to the cottage early the next morning, so they can shop for dresses.



"How early?" Kati asks.



"Please," Britt says, "You would get up at 4am to shop."



"Good point." Kati agrees.



Hank pulls Britt aside. "I have a surprise for you tomorrow night."



"What?" she asks.

"You'll find out. I'll be at the cottage around 8:00." He tells her. He takes her hand and kisses it. Kati gets into Sam's car and he puts a blind- fold over her eyes.



"Why do I have to wear this?" she asks.



"Cause I said so." San answers.



"But it doesn't match my outfit!" Kati whines.



Sam chuckles.



~*~



Time Lapse~ "This isn't funny!" Kati exclaimed as she tried to walk. She couldn't see anything that was in front of her because of the blind- fold.



"We're almost there." Sam replied as her helped guide her. "Okay, open!" he said as he undid the blind-fold and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Surprise." He whispered softly in her ear.



"Oh Sam." Kati said, her eyes filling with tears. "You remembered our spot." She could not take her eyes off the blanket. It was perfect. There was a setting for two complete with candles, spoons, a half-gallon of ice cream, and two bowls. They sat down and Sam began to scoop out the ice cream. Kati was overwhelmed by his kindness. She didn't know how she would ever be able to thank him.



"Do you remember when we used to come here?" Sam asked her as he handed her a bowl of ice cream.



"How could I ever forget?" she replied with a smile as she remembered.



~*FLASHBACK*~ Sam and Kati are walking along the train tracks wearing their basketball and cheerleading uniforms. They were eating ice cream and Kati's is drenched with rainbow sprinkles and Sam's was drenched with chocolate sprinkles. ~*END FLASHBACK*~



"We used to come here after every game." Sam said.



"Whether we won or lost," Kati giggled, "only we would continue to eat ice cream in the middle of winter."



"Oh, wait. I forgot something." Sam said quickly as he went over to the basket. 'She is never going to believe this.' He thought to himself as he pulled two packages of sprinkles out.



"Sam." Kati said with awe as he covered their ice cream with sprinkles.



"Do you want to go for a walk?" Sam asked as he extended his hand out to her.



"I'd love to." Kati said softly as she took his hand and stood up. They began walking on the tracks.



Time Lapse~ (Yes, again. But you'll get used to it.) "Rainbow sprinkles rule!" Kati insisted.



"Please," Sam argued, "it's chocolate, or nothing!"



Kati laughed and took another spoonful of ice cream. But she got a little bit on her nose.



Sam laughed, "Here, I'll get that for you." He gently wiped off her nose. They looked

into each other's eyes and Sam brushed a piece of her hair away from her face. He leans in to kiss her, but pulls back as he hears the faint sound of a train whistle.



"We better get off the track now, it sounds like that train is coming our way."



"Oh come one Sam! Stop being such a baby!" Kati said.



"I'm serious Kati, get off the track."



But Kati, being as stubborn as she is, decided she would stay.



"I don't want you to get hurt. It would really make me feel better if you just stepped aside until the train passed." Sam said with a nervous and serious tone in his voice.



"Okay." Kati agreed as she smiled and prepared to move aside. But her smile changed to a frown in an instant when she realized that her foot was wedged between a small generator and the track. The train was getting closer now.



"Sam," Kati said nervously, "I can't move my foot."



"Quit playing around," Sam said, getting aggravated, "I don't want to see you get hurt."



"I mean it Sam, I can't get my foot out."



Sam can see the worry in her eyes and comes over to help her. (It's Sam to the rescue!) He begins to pull with all his might, but can't seem to loosen her foot. Tears begin to fall down Kati's cheeks as the train comes closer.



"Sam, please go- save yourself! There's nothing we can do!" Kati choked out.



"Never!" Sam said, "I'm not leaving you're side. We'll get out of here." He tries to loosen the track and notices oil on his hands. "Oh my God, oil! I'm gonna rub this on and it will loosen you're foot."



Kati nodded her head and began pulling as hard as she could.



"SAAAMMM!" she screamed, as the train appeared less than five feet away from them.

(::Yawn:: let's just stop right there. No, just kidding, we would never do that to you!)



Her foot comes loose at the VERY last second and Sam pulls her to the side. They fall down and are lying side by side.



"Sam," Kati started, "you saved my life.(dramatic pause.) Thank you."



"I don't know what I would have down if I ever lost you," Sam said, "I would have given my life to save you if I had to." He looked deep into her eyes and she could tell he was serious. He began to lean in and she closed her eyes, knowing what was about to happen. When his soft, luscious lips met hers, he wrapped his arms around her waist and she began to play with his hair. She had waited for this moment for such a long time. She felt safe and protected in his arms. The kiss grew more passionate and he held her tighter. When they stopped, she laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. 'I could stay here forever.' They both thought at the same time.

~*~



Time Lapse~ (Shut up.) Sam got out of his car and walked over to Kati's side. He opened the door and picked her up.



"Sam!" Kati exclaimed, "You don't have to carry me in. I'm fine, see?" she gets out of the car and falls into his arms. "Okay, maybe not." She says. Sam picks her up and carries her into the cottage. Britt and Sheridan hear them come in and hide behind a door.



"Sam, put me down." Kati says.



"Yes ma'am." Sam says with a smirk and drops her on the couch.



"Do, you think you could put me down without wrecking my hair?!" Kati yells.



"Shut up." Sam says and kisses her.



Britt brings her hand up to her mouth, completely shocked. Sheridan just smiles. 'It worked.' She thought to herself. After they part, Sam hugs her.



"I would walk you to the door, but."



Sam laughs, "it's okay," he says and kisses her again, "Bye."



"Bye."



Sam leaves. Britt and Sheridan run into the room.



"Details girl, I want details!" Britt exclaims.



"Oh," Kati said, "We ate ice cream, I almost died, he kissed me, the usual."



"What?!" Britt and Sheridan say.



Kati laughs and tells them the whole story. Britt and Sheridan help Kati into her room. When she is settled, Sheridan goes to bed.



"Guess what?" Britt says, "Hank told me that he has a surprise for me tomorrow night."



"Really?" Kati asked, "Looks like our boys are up to something."



Sheridan, who was listening from outside the door, smiles. 'If only they knew.'
