Oh, What A Night!
"Howard it's so enchanting!" Marion exclaimed as they made their way to the dance floor. Richie and Lori Beth not far behind also expressed their approval. Having been in Milwaukee for a week already it seemed perfectly fitting to spend their last night in town at the "Mid Summer Night Dream Ball". A small dance where all couples were welcomed to spend the entire night dancing to the lovely melodies of the Milwaukee symphony.
"Where are Joanie and Fonzie?" Lori Beth asked as they settled at one of the tables.
"They're probably running late" Richie answered, not looking at her, instead focusing on the night sky. He still couldn't get over the fact that they had managed to turn the city park into a glamorous wonderland. Just a week ago he had been standing in the same spot playing football with Potsie.
"There they are" Howard pointed at the couple that apparently was running late.
Richie had been the happiest out of everyone when they had finally gotten together. He had always felt a slight charge of electricity between his sister and his best friend. But he never dared mentioned it. Instead he kept his silence and hoped that someday they would figure it out. Miraculously, they did and since then they have been inseparable. Instantly becoming the "it" couple of Milwaukee. How could they not? Joanie was the sweetest girl in Milwaukee and Fonzie the coolest guy.
Joanie could feel the heat radiating forth from her husband, which made her warm all over too.
"I love your dress" Fonzie said for the second time that night, as they steadily made their way toward everyone. Joanie couldn't help but blush when she thought about the first time he had "complimented" her gown. It was the reason why they were late. Fonzie had really taken his time in thoroughly showing her his approval of her attire.
"Dear are you all right? You look flush" Marion commented holding her hand up to Joanie's forehead. A broad smile graced Fonzie's face; he knew exactly why she looked so flush. Joanie gave him a murderous glare, which he returned with a small pout.
"No, I'm all right mom" she said reassuringly as Fonzie pulled her toward the dance floor.
"I'm going to get you for that" she warned him as they began to sway to the music.
"Who? Moa?" he asked in a mock innocence. "Can't wait," he added in low throaty voices that cause her to break out in goose bumps.
"Oh, what a night, late December back in '63
What a very special time for me
As I remember what a night"
The car radio blasted a semi-old Four Season's song as Richie turned the volume higher. He noticed that Fonzie was smirking.
"What? I happen to like this song" he said defending his choice in music. "Besides it seems to be very fitting for the situation", Richie pointed out as he leaned back in his seat. The rest of the night was for him and Fonzie to cruse around for a while, before he went home tomorrow.
"I'm gonna miss you Red" Fonzie said, becoming serious all of a sudden.
Richie looked over at his best friend, somehow he looked different, more grownup, older. "I'm going to miss you too. It's not easy having your best friend so far away, tends to put a damper on the weekend".
Fonzie looked over at him, "maybe shortcake and I could..." He never finished his sentence since a bright blinding light came out of nowhere, blinding the two men.
*CRASH*
Joanie jumped back as the dish she had been holding fell from her hands.
"What's the matter Joanie?" Lori Beth asked as she rushed to the kitchen.
"I don't know, but something isn't right", she said as she leaned against the kitchen counter. Why did she suddenly have such an overwhelming feeling of dread?
