Sonny sits back and starts to straighten his clothes as Carly gathers hers.

"Carly get the bag out of the corner and put those clothes on." he says.

Carly glances back questionably at Sonny "You brought me a change of clothes?"

"Yup, where we're going you can't exactly wear that..." he laughs, pointing at her dress. "Now get going, I'm telling the driver to head there now." He reaches over to the intercom and tells the driver to head to their next destination while Carly puts the new clothes on.

"I like those jeans on you." Sonny says and gives her butt a pat.

Carly turns around and playfully slaps his hand. "Don't touch."

"A little for that don't ya think?" Sonny laughs and Carly joins him.

"Ya I guess so." she says. "Sooo, where we going" she snuggles up to him and he puts his arms around her.

"Nice try but I'm not telling you.....We'll be there in a couple minutes."

"Fine" she slaps him playfully on the chest "Big meanie."

"Who me???" he laughs. "Neeever"

They both laugh as Carly lays her head down and they enjoy the ride. A couple minutes later the limo comes to a stop and the driver opens the door. Sonny gets out and holds his hand out to Carly.

"Oh my god, no way" she starts to laugh hysterically.

"What?" he says.

"Your actually going to ride in an indoor amusement park? Sonny, come on you don't like rides." she says through her giggles.

"They're kinda growing on me.." he winks at her. "And besides, It's your night, not mine."

"Oh Sonny, your so sweet." she kisses him on the cheek.

"Shall we" he points to the door.

"Yes let's go" and they head for the door.

They head in and Sonny watches Carly get excited over the place. There are kids screaming and running, people eating, rides running, Carly loves it. Carly walks faster as the anticipation gets the best of her.

"Hey there slow down, they'll still be there when we get there." Sonny slows down the pace.

"Sorry, I'm just so excited." her smile turns into a frown. "It's been a long time since I've been to any kind of amusement park."

"Hey, no more of those frowns." he kisses her "Remember this is supposed to be a happy night."

"I know" Carly smiles and they head to the first ride. They get in line for the tilt-a-whirl. Sonny stares at the ride.

"Carly...umm..does't this make you sick?" he looks at the people on the ride going round and round.

"Sonny....now how old are you?" she laughs at him. "Your a big boy, you can handle it" she tells him in a kidlike voice.

"Oh sure.....When I puke all over you, don't say I didn't warn you." he tells her as they enter the ride and take their seat.

The ride starts out and Sonny stares as they start to spin. He grips the bar and holds on for dear life.

"Carlyyyy....I don't know about this........." Sonny cries as the ride starts faster.

Carly just laughs as she watches his face. Sonny soon realizes its not as bad as it seems and starts to enjoy it, just about the time the ride ends. They get off and head to another ride.

"See I told you it wasn't that bad."

"Yeah I guess not." he shrugs. "So what's next?"

"That" she says and points to the roller coaster.

"Now that I think I can handle." he leans over and whispers in her ear. "Can we play a little game on this one?"

Carly laughs, "Not right now, but maybe later.....too many kids around"

Sonny pretends to cry "Ok, I supposed I can wait."

"Good boy" Carly says mocking him.

They head off to the roller coaster and ride. When they finish there they head to the rest of the rides and Sonny finds himself really enjoying himself.

"You wanna ride some more or would you like to head back?" Sonny asks.

"Let's go, I've had my fun" Carly takes his arm and they head to the limo. They head back to the hotel. Sonny uses the phone while Carly experiments with the stuff in the limo.

"Sonny, come look at this." Carly yells down. Sonny looks up and sees Carly standing up and looking out the sunroof.

"Carly get down." he yells.

"No" she yells back and reaches her hand down. "Come on"

Sonny gives in and stands up joining her at looking at the scenery. He laughs at her face. She is staring around in amusement of all the lights and sounds.

"This is soo neat Sonny." she kisses him and he kisses her back as they pull up to the hotel.

They get out and head into the hotel. They hop in the elevator and Sonny pushes the elevator button for the roof.

"Sonny, what are you doing?" she asks. "Our room is on the 14th floor, not the roof."

"I have one more surprise." he smiles at her.

"Umm...ok" she says.

The elevator reaches the roof and they step out.

"Sonny, oh my...." she looks around to see flowers everywhere and in the middle a table set with candles.

"Let's take a seat" he takes her arm and leads her over to the table. She sits down and looks over at him. Sonny snaps his fingers and a man comes in with a tray full of desert.

"Will this be all sir" the waiter asks.

"Yes thank you" Sonny hands him a $100 tip and the man leaves.

"Wow, what are we going to do with all that?" Carly laughs.

"Well I didn't' know what you wanted so I order a little bit of everything."

Carly laughs and picks up a piece of chocolate cream pie. "Thank you Sonny, it wonderful." Carly starts to eat as Sonny reaches up under the table. He pulls out a small box and places it in front of Carly.

"Sonny?" Carly questions him.

"Open it" he tells her.

She opens the box and there's a beautiful wedding ring. Carly starts to cry.

"Carly, what's wrong, I want you to stay married to me and I wanted you to have a ring." he takes her hand and with the other lifts her chin to face him.

"I can't stay married to you. You wouldn't want me anyway." she cries shaking her head.

"Why Carly?"

"Because I'm the reason my parents and sister were killed" she cries.

Hope you like it :) Sorry about the cliffhanger. I will get more up soon!!
