THE PERFECT GIFT...
By Cat
Danny...
Danny had been looking through stores and places for Mary's present for days on end. Yet, he could still not find the gift that was perfect. His thoughts were constantly on what he could give her.
He opened his eyes and looked around his bedroom. His walls had many photos. Many of them were of Mary and him. Younger versions of themselves looked down on him. That was it! He knew what to give her!
.::Mary's birthday party::.
Mary, himself, his father, and the rest of the gang from the Montecito were sitting in Mystique on the night of her Birthday for her party. Balloons and streamers filled the room; Mary herself was sitting at a table in the corner, surrounded by presents and the guests- Danny sitting next to her.
"Come on! Open some presents!" Delinda said with a huge smile plastered upon her face as she pushed a present towards Mary.
"Yeah! What a great idea!" Danny said as he picked a present from the pile. "This random one first."
Mary took it. "What a coincidence! It just happens to be from you!" The crowd laughed.
"What a coincidence..." Danny smiled and pretended to look innocent.
Mary unwrapped the professionally wrapped package. Danny had always hated to admit that he could in fact wrap presents quite well... One of his mother's genes he figured.
Mary smiled when she saw the present. It was a silver, heart-shaped pendant that opened to a picture of Danny and her. On the front it said the words: "Friends... always and forever..."
"It's beautiful..." She said. She recognized the necklace. It had been Danny's mother's. It was given to Danny by his father when his mother had died. Danny had taken brilliant care of it in his mother's wake. She laughed and smiled as she put the necklace on... or rather let Danny do it for her.
"On with the next present!" Delinda said, breaking the moment, as she handed Mary her own hastily wrapped present. The crowd laughed.
.::Later on::.
Danny had taken Mary out to dinner and then a movie. Then Danny had drove Mary into the middle of the desert. They had been stayed in Danny's car, talking for a few minutes.
"Why did you give me your mother's pendent?" Mary asked as she turned to Danny after a moment of silence. "Are you sure you want me to have it?
Danny smiled. "Yes I'm sure. Why would I give it to you if I wasn't sure? I know that you'll take care of it." He took Mary's hand. "The reason I gave it to you is because, I love you Mary Connell, I always have and I always will. I was stupid not to tell you this before, when I had many chances to do so. I have regretted it many times, especially right now. I have loved you ever since fourth grade, maybe before. Will you marry me?" Danny's eyes twinkled in the moonlight and his usually calm voice had started to sound very sad and sorry. His hopes were for her to say yes.
"Yes Danny. I love you too. Of course I will marry you!" Mary exclaimed. "How can I say 'no' to the man who has been my best friend or years now and has just taken me out to the desert to view the sunrise?"
Danny leant forward and kissed her gently on the lips. "Who said I took you to watch the sunrise?" Danny laughed. "Maybe I just took you out here for the stars!" He chuckled quietly. "Okay... so it was for both..."
Mary laughed as she spotted that the deep blue sky had become slightly tinged with a deep red. She kissed Danny back.
"Thankyou for tonight" She said quietly. "It was perfect..."
Now all Danny had to do was get her into bed again and figure out what next years gift would be. 'Maybe a furry g-string...' He thought.
THE END!
