Chapter 2- Marry You Maybe?

Matt stared at her waiting for an answer.

"I-I-I-I... don't know. I just have to think about it. I mean when we were littler we were best friends and it will be weird if I say yes to you. I have to think about it." She answered nervously.

Matt just looked down at the floor and then looked back up to Melina and smiled.

Then principal stood up and yelled into the microphone, "Now, presenting the class of 2010!"

The audience cheered as the students lined up and got their diplomas.

After the graduation, Matt, his friends and family were still at the school talking.

Matt, Reggie and Lanny were all in a group of their own.

"So, Lanny were you scared speaking for the first time around a lot of people?" Reggie teased.

"W-well... yeah, I g-guess I'm still a little scared. I mean if you s-speak for the first time around a lot of people, it's s-scary!" Lanny answered nervously.

"Matt I have a question for you. Care to answer it?" Reggie asked.

"Sure, ask me anything." Matt said.

"Okay, what was it like asking Melina to marry you?" Reggie asked.

"Y-yeah that's a good one, Reggie!" Lanny agreed.

"W-well, it was.." Matt quickly changed the subject, "Hey where's Melina? I haven't seen her after the graduation."

"I don't know." Reggie and Lanny said together.

"Jinx, you owe me a soda!" Lanny said quickly.

Reggie hit his hand on his head and said, "Aw man! Lanny I'm going to get you one of these days!"

"I doubt that." Lanny said with a smile on his face.

"Guy's I really mean it. Where's Melina?" Matt asked again in a worried voice.

"I don't know." Reggie said.

"Me either, let's go look for her." Lanny said.

"Playgrown, playgrown." A voice said coming behind them.

"Huh?" Matt, Reggie and Lanny said.

They looked behind them and they saw Lizzie holding two-year-old. Todd.

"Okay, we'll go to the playground." Lizzie said.

Matt walked over to her. "Hey, Lizzie!" He looked around. "Where's Gordo?"

"Hi, Matt! He went to work." Lizzie answered.

"Work?" Matt asked. "I thought he was off today."

"Well, he got called in. They need him to fix a pipe burst." Lizzie answered.

"Playgrown, playgrown, playgrown!" Todd cried.

"Well, better get to the playground before he has a fit." Lizzie said with a sigh.

"Oh, bye." Matt said. "Oh and if you see Melina, tell her that I'm looking for her. Okay?" He asked.

"Okay, I will." Lizzie yelled half way down the sidewalk to the playground.

Later at the park, Lizzie asked, "Okay, Todd. What do you want to play on?"

"Slicde, slicde!" Todd said excitedly as he pointed to them.

"Okay, we'll go to the slide." Lizzie said looking over at the slide.

Toon Lizzie: Hey, who's that sitting on the slide?

She walked over and said, "Melina?"

"Yeah." She said with a mumble.

"What's wrong?" Lizzie asked.

"I-I just feel pretty bad." She said with a sigh.

"Why do you feel bad?" Lizzie asked.

"Um, do you know when Matt asked me to marry at the graduation?" She asked.

"Yeah." Lizzie answered.

"Well, I was thinking about Matt. I think he feels bad that I said I'll think about it." she said with a cry.

"Aw, Melina why won't you just go up there and tell him how you feel about him?" Lizzie suggested.

"I can't. I get all nervous." She said.

"Melina, I used to get like that when Gordo asked me that, but now look at us. We're married and have an two-year-old child." Lizzie said happily. "Just go up there and tell him."

"Yeah, I guess I was like you when he asked you that. I'll go up there and tell him how I feel and that I made up my mind. I'll try to." She brightened up a little.

"Want a hug for good luck?" Lizzie asked.

"Yeah." She answered as she hugged her and Lizzie hugged her back.

"Thanks, Lizzie." She said as she got up and walked back to Matt.
