Chapter 6-Shawn's transformation
The preparations were made. Now all they could do was wait. Cory sat in the chair, holding Topanga in his arms who was still scared. But she felt a lot better since Cory had taken it so well. She loved Cory so much. There was no doubt about it. Cory rubbed Topanga's back with his hand. He loved her more than words could say. And was proud and the happiest man in the world to have her as his wife.
Shawn sat in the other chair, looking out the window thoughtfully. He was, indeed, thinking of Angela. He missed her. He wanted to scream out-he NEEDED to scream out. But he couldn't. Angela was in Europe. And there was absoulutly nothing he could do about it. Shawn knew he needed her. His heart was made up on that. But what he didn't know was that he was going to see her sooner then he thought. However that possibility wasn't in his mind. Angela was far, far, away. Sitting at a table eating there. He could see those lips-OH THE DESIRE TO KISS THOSE LIPS! The fire in his heart was BURNING! Shawn felt like he would die if he couldn't. But, Shawn couldn't. He felt like he WAS dying on the inside. He needed her so bad. Nobody seemed to understand that! It made Shawn so mad. Cory and Topanga couldn't understand. Anger welled up inside him. They had eachother. All the time. 24/7. The anger went even higher up inside him. Towering like the shadow of a giant. But then the giant shrunk. It wasn't their fault they couldn't understand. They couldn't help it. Shawn sighed and continued looking out the window. There was much use getting angry about something that wouldn't happen. Shawn would just have to wait and wonder. The thought nearly made him cry. He was frustrated! It was like being in a room where the walls were closing in on him. He was trying to get out! But he simply couldn't! And he fell down onto his knees in that room and cried. He gave up. And as he was staring out that window he wanted to give up like the Shawn in that room. But the fire in his heart drove him not to. He never would. If he died because of it.
They waited for hours. Not moving from their exact spots. Then they heard a large truck pull up outside. Cory jerked his head up, but the other two seemed not to notice. They did, but they didn't move. Cory listened as the doors on each side of the truck shut, and the storage part of the truck got opened up. There was rattling; Cory's eyes moved to the side window. (Not the one Shawn was at) He caught glimpses of people carrying boxes. Yes it was definitely them. He heard the door to the apartment buildings open, and each person trudged in. Then Cory heard nothing but silence.
But three minutes later there was a knock at the door. They must have taken the elevator because they were there so fast-and if they had been using the stairs Cory would have heard them climbing. Cory stood up gently, still holding Topanga. He tenderly placed her on the chair, and gingerly let go of her hand. Topanga straightened slightly in the chair, trying to look normal for the guests. Shawn seemed un-aware of what was going on in the present completely. He remained in the position he'd been in for hours.
Cory opened the door. His parents were at the front of the large gang. "Cory"! His mother said happily, hugging him tightly. She didn't want to let him go. She had missed him so much! And didn't want to think about the fact that she would have to leave her little boy the next night. His father hugged Cory tightly, silently though. His eyes watered-tears of joy. Alan, not thinking it would be too bad when they had left, missed him as much as Amy. They walked in "Cory, sweetheart, what a nice place"! "Where's Eric"? Asked his father suspiciously. "Oh he's just out with Jack and Rachel". "They'll be here in a couple hours or so". Answered Topanga, causing Amy to see her. "Oh Topanga we missed you"! The two women embraced. And Alan went over to hug Topanga as well. Shawn sat in the same place. People knew that it was best to leave him alone for now. But he'd be up sooner than he knew. Thought Alan. He chuckled in his throat. The box boys moved in. All 11 brought in, yes, you guessed it, boxes. There was even one for Eric, full to the brim of Strawberry Shortcake dolls, plushies, clothes, every Strawberry Shortcake thing imaginable.
Then, someone else walked in. Expected by no one except Cory and Topanga. "Hey Angela"! Cried Topanga. "Hey"! Said Cory excitedly."It must be getting pretty bad". Shawn thought. "I'm even imagining she's here"-"And that people are talking to her". "I think I'm going crazy". "Hey Topanga"! Angela squealed "Core"! The three hugged, "Oh no now I'm even IMAGINING she's talking"!! "STOP IT"! Shawn thought to himself. He had two choices. He could look up to see if she was really there. But then that sweet voice would disappear from inside his head. And he wanted to keep it there forever. Or he could stay the way he was, and keep the voice. Angela looked around the room. As Angela was not familiar with the layout of the apartment, she did not notice Shawn sitting close to the corner in his position. "Where's Shawn"? She questioned
It felt so good to hear that voice say his name. But was he dreaming? He had to know. He looked up. Angela stook, looking around the room. "Angela"?! "Is it really you"? Shawn asked, scared he might be imagining her, but excited. "Yes Shawn"! Shawn stood up and ran toward her. She ran toward him. She flew into his arms and went into him. As though they were moulded together. They kissed and hugged and cried. Everyone smiled. Cory even laughed. Topanga smiled, but couldn't bring herself to do anything else. She was still shaking. Cory put his arm around Topanga. Then he drew her into his arms. Her shaking subsided. She couldn't help it. Cory was just so warm and irresistible. She relaxed-matching her breathing to Cory's.
Angela couldn't wait any longer. Shawn couldn't either, but it was for something else. Shortly after his father died, Shawn inherited his mother's wedding ring which she had left behind with his father. Shawn hadn't known what to do with it, but now he was going to make use of it. Tonight was the night, and maybe Shawn would come out of it with what he desired: A fiancé "Shawn and I are going outside"! She said quickly. They both laughed happily. They brought two blankets and a thermos of Hot Chocolate. Shawn asked Angela to wait a second. He ran into one of the rooms and into his nightable drawer. He pulled out the little box, begging for use it seemed. It had rich black velvet covering it. Shawn shut the night table drawer. He paused. Tid-bits of memories were flying through is head. Those years when he had been a kid. All those pranks he had pulled. All the trouble he'd gotten in. His "listening abilities" class. His grades. All the things he used to do as a kid. All the girls. His popularity. All the times Cory had gone down with Shawn. The fights. The good times. Tears filled Shawn's eyes and he smiled. He knew, at this very moment, that he had just become a man. He was no longer a kid. He laughed as he looked at himself in the mirror. "Shawn, look at you". He laughed again. He missed the days when he was a kid. And laughed remembering them. But they were gone now. And there was another journey up ahead. One much different. And then he realized he would never flirt with girls again. He would never do pranks again. He would never get grades again. There wouldn't be dances and homework. But something much different. Because those days were gone now. And he could explore once again.
He felt his dad's radiant smile from up above. "Thank you dad". He said. And with that he walked out of the room. He and Angela ran hand in hand outside. They lay on the blankets, gazing at the stars as Shawn held her close. A shooting star was suddenly coming across the sky. Twinkling and holding so many things. He knew what he had to do. He sat up and knelt on on knee. He opened the ring box. "Angela". Angela suddenly turned. "Will you marry me"?
