Lita sat on her couch watching TV. There was nothing on at all, and she still had an hour before Serena would be there to pick her up for the hockey game. "Knock Knock!" A loud knock sounded on the door. Lita looked at her watch, it was only 2:00pm and Serena was supposed to arrive at 3.
"Who's there?" Lita asked while she walked to the door. "It's me, we need to talk now," Darien said. Lita opened the door to find Darien grinning from ear to ear. "What's up?" Lita said.
"I've found the one thing in my life that I know I will, no I can't give up. Lita I want to thank you. I've known Serena for 3 months now, and I know that she is the one. I'm going to ask her to marry me tonight at the game. I've got it all planned out. I figured that around the beginning of the 2nd period, right at the end of the intermission, that I would do an on ice interview. But the catch about tonight's interviews is that they are all going to be shown on the jumbo tron. As the interview goes on, I'm going to get on my knee and ask," Darien rambled out to Lita. Lita stood there dumb found. "Darien are you sure you want to do this? I mean, 3 months isn't that long."
Darien sat there and thought for a moment, "Yeah I'm sure." Darien looked at his watch, "listen I have to go, I want you to hold this for me. At the beginning of the 2nd period, give it to Ken, the security guard that is working the home bench tonight. He'll know what to do." Darien said, giving Lita a small black velvet box and a peck on the cheek. "Bye," Darien said leaving the apartment. "Wait! Ken is working tonight at the game?" But Darien had already left.
Later at the game Lita sat watching the minutes tick away in the first period. Darien had already scored a goal in the first 5 minutes of the game, and now there were 5 minutes left in the first period. "Hey I'm going to get a drink, anyone want anything? I want to beat the crowd," Lita said. All the girls replied yes, just the usual. The usual was cokes for all. Lita walked out of the portal that led to her seat, and had a security guard radio Ken. Ken met Lita at the designated spot, and Lita handed over the ring. "Darien said that you would know what to do, I just hope he gets what he wants," Lita said. "I know what to do, and I can't wait to see Serena's reaction. Darien is a very lucky man. But I think I'm luckier. I have Serena's best friend as my love interest," Ken said giving Lita a hug. "Listen get back to your seat, I need to get this to the bench and to Darien."
Lita bought the drinks for the girls, and got back to her seat just in time to see Ken walk to the bench and hand the ring to the coach. She also witnessed another goal scored by Darien his second of the night. She was sure that he would score at least three that night, but one was going to be off the ice.
"BUZZZZZ," the horn sounded ending the first period. Thrash came out and did the intermission entertainment that consisted of chicken racing*. Then the big moment came. Lita turned her head to the Jumbo Tron, watching the interview, the other girls were watching too. All the other girls knew what was going to happen, all but Serena.
"Here we have a new feature tonight. We have in house interviews called on the ice. Tonight's guest is Darien Shields. Darien, how does it feel to have a two goal period? You still have two more periods to go, how do you feel?" The interviewer asked. "Well, it always feels good to score a goal, but two goals in one period is an awesome feeling. I feel pumped up right now, ready for the next two periods to start, but I know I could feel better," as Darien said these words he slowly went to one knee and pulled out a black velvet box. "Serena, we met at the home opener this season, and we've been together ever since. I feel as if you have made my life full. I want to ask you to be my wife. Serena, will you marry me?"
Serena's eyes went wide; she just stared at the screen.
She sat there for a few minutes, just letting the question sink in. She then realized that the camera and all eyes were on her. "Darien...YES! YES with all my heart, I will marry you." At that point the buzzer sounded and on the Jumbo Tron the words "HE SHOOTS! HE SCORES!" flashed up. A huge cheer erupted at the arena, and Serena felt a hand on her shoulder. Darien had made his way to be next to her, and placed the ring on her finger. A white gold ring with a medium diamond in the center, surrounded by smaller ones. "Serena I love you," Darien whispered into Serena's ear and he gave her a hug and a kiss. "I love you too."
