Disclaimer: I don't own them, I didn't create them, and I don't profit from them, but as always coffee is on me if George and Jorja have the time.

Author's Note: This is just a nice little piece of fluff for my fellow Snickers.

"Can I help you, sir?" The twenty-something woman looked at a perplexed looking Nick Stokes as he studied at the vast array of options in front of him.

He glanced up and looked at the nametag of the woman who was obviously an employee of the Build-A-Bear store he was in. "Uh, Lisa, I didn't realize you could get more than a bear in here."

She smiled at him. "You can get bears, pigs, dogs, horses, and we've even got Elmo."

Nick wasn't sure he could make another decision right now. He had just spent the last several hours making a very painstaking decision, but this was part of the plan. He took a deep breath and then smiled a bit sheepishly. "I think I'd better just stick to a bear."

"Polar, brown, traditional Teddy, or would you be interested in one of our special limited edition colors?" Lisa seemed to be pouring on the charm. The store had been open for a few hours, but it was a relatively slow day and she wasn't going to pass up an opportunity to flirt with a cute guy.

Nick furrowed his brow and let out a chuckle. "Ah, let's just stick with the traditional one; I think that might make this a little easier." He wasn't sure why he was having such a hard time making the decision about something like this, but then he wanted everything to be perfect.

Lisa quickly picked up an empty teddy bear and smiled at Nick. "Making a gift for your daughter?" There was something about her tone that implied that she was fishing for information about Nick's availability.

Nick shook his head. "I don't have kids."

Lisa tilted her head slightly. "Your wife then?"

Nick finally picked up on the fact that she was hitting on him and a tiny smile played at his lips. "I'm not married."

"You're a big fan of bears?" Lisa was pushing the issue as she led Nick over to the machine the stuffing for the bear was in.

Nick chuckled softly. "Not exactly."

Lisa looked at him a bit quizzically as she handed the bear over to another female employee who was about the same age as Lisa so she could stuff the bear.

Nick looked at both of the women with amusement on his face. "It's a gift for someone."

The second employee glanced at Nick and then rolled her eyes at Lisa as she filled the bear up with stuffing and smiled conspiratorially at Nick. "You need to pick out a heart." She gestured towards a basket filled with small red hearts.

Nick glanced at her nametag and smiled, doing his best to ignore Lisa. "Uh, thanks, Chelsea." He looked at the basket and an idea formed in his mind. He reached in and took two, flashing Chelsea his best smile. "Do you think we could put two hearts in that bear?"

Chelsea smiled curiously. "I guess."

Lisa looked at him a bit strangely.

Nick spoke in a conspiratorial tone to Chelsea. "It's a gift for my girlfriend and I just want her to know that she has my heart."

Chelsea's mouth dropped slightly. "That is so romantic."

Lisa looked a little put out that Nick was obviously taken.

Nick looked a little doubtful. "You think so?"

Chelsea nodded as she put the two hearts into the bear and began to stitch it up. "If my boyfriend did that I'd marry him."

Nick's smile widened into a grin. "Good."

Chelsea's eyes widened.

Lisa squealed with a happy smile on her face. "You're proposing with the bear?" Apparently the idea of something so romantic made Lisa forget that she was just hitting on him.

Nick nodded a faint blush in his cheeks. "I just spent two hours picking out a ring."

"Lucky woman." Chelsea observed with a smile as she finished stitching up the bear.

"You have to put that bear in a tux." Lisa looked like a woman who had a mission. "She'll just die." She pulled at Nick's arm as she propelled him over towards the myriad of choices to outfit the bear.

"A tux." Nick mulled the idea and smiled. "That beats wearing one myself."

"You'd look good in a tux." Lisa commented looking at him appreciatively. "I bet your girlfriend would think so too."

Nick let out a chuckle again. "Well it doesn't really fit into the plan but I'll keep that in mind."

"Trust me, any woman thinks a man looks fine in a tux, especially one as good looking as you." She smiled genuinely. "What's your girlfriend's name?"

"Sara." There was a way that Nick smiled that only happened when he spoke her name. "She's pretty incredible."

"I bet she is." Lisa plucked a tuxedo outfit off the racks and then moved towards the shoes to find a pair to match. "What are you going to name the bear?"

Nick furrowed his brow in confusion. "Name?" He didn't realize that part of the experience was giving the bear a name.

Lisa nodded. "Every bear gets a name and a birth certificate."

Nick considered that for a moment as he looked at the bear and then with the two hearts that he'd had placed inside in mind, he grinned. "I guess the bear's name would have to be Snickers."

"Snickers?" Lisa looked at him quizzically as she dressed the bear in the tux and put the shoes on it.

"Sara. Nick. Snickers." Nick thought he was being pretty clever combining their names like that, and he was suddenly craving chocolate.

Lisa nodded in understanding and put the bear in a special cardboard carrying case. "Ok, you're set."

Nick paid for the bear and then turned to leave.

Lisa called out after him. "You'll have to come back and tell us if she says yes."

Nick grinned as he glanced back. "I may just do that."
