Author's Note: Hope you enjoy it…I love SV fluff. Let me know what you think!

I awoke to Vaughn gently shaking my shoulder. "Mmm?" I murmured.

"It's time to get up."

I rolled over to face him but refused to open my eyes. "Can't we just stay in bed all day?"

"I thought you didn't like that idea."

"It's definitely growing on me."

I could feel Vaughn smile. "As much as I would like to, we have things to do."

"What kind of things?"

He kissed me. "Why don't you take a shower and I'll order us some breakfast."

I gave in and opened my eyes. "Alright."

We both emerged from the warmth of the bed, but I more slowly then him. On my way to the bathroom I glanced at the clock.

"It's 7am!"

"I know."

"Normal people don't get up this early when they're on vacation!"

Vaughn laughed. "Yes they do."

I mumbled to myself as I stumbled into the bathroom.

I felt much better after the shower. More awake and refreshed. I patted myself dry with a soft white towel and bundled up in a terry cloth robe.

I came out of the bathroom to find Vaughn out on the balcony with our breakfast on the little iron table that was also out there.

"Hey there, sunshine," he said with a smile as I walked out to join him.

"Hey yourself," I said as I looked out at the water.

"Hurry and eat breakfast. I have a day planned for us," he said sounding very excited.

I looked at him for a moment, but he would offer me no more.

After I finished my breakfast of fresh fruit and a bagel I returned inside to find Vaughn in khaki colored shorts and a green polo shirt. He looked really good.

"What's the dress code for the day?" I asked.

"Something comfortable."

I tried to dig for more information, "I need to know our general plan so I can dress appropriately."

Vaughn shook his head. "Not gonna work, Syd."

I rummaged through my suitcase until I found something that was comfortable.

When I emerged from the bathroom several minutes later Vaughn smiled at me. "See, now was that so hard?"

I had settled on khaki shorts, a black tank top, jean jacket, and tennis shoes.

"No, it wasn't that hard. I just wish I knew where you were taking me."

"All in good time," he said as he planted a gentle kiss on my forehead.

We went down to the lobby and retrieved Vaughn's car, and started on our way.

"So, you aren't going to blindfold me?"

He chuckled, "Nah, thought I'd save that for later."

I glanced over at him.

"I'm kidding Syd."

We rode in silence for a few miles. I read the billboards and mile markers hoping that there would be some clue in them.

"Can't you just give me a hint?"

Vaughn was thoughtful for a moment. "Yellow."

"Yellow? How is that a hint?"

He shrugged. "It is though."

I sat back in my seat and thought about it. The sun is yellow, but I felt pretty certain he wasn't taking me to the sun. Gold is yellow…could he be taking me to a gold mine? Coldplay wrote a song, and the title of that song was Yellow. Was he taking me to a Coldplay concert?

"Yellow is not a sufficient hint," I concluded out loud, after I had exhausted all the ideas my head had to offer.

"Yes it is."

"Well unless you're taking me to a Coldplay concert, I don't know."

"Coldplay? How did you get Coldplay from yellow?"

"Their song."

"Ahh…well sorry, no Coldplay concert."

"Are we almost there?" I felt like a five year old on their way to Disneyland and was too impatient to sit in the car any longer.

Vaughn laughed at me. "Yes Sydney. Just a couple more minutes."

"Good!"

We rode the last couple miles in silence. And then Vaughn pulled into a parking lot that was labeled "Zoo Parking."

"Zoo parking?" I asked.

"Yep."

"You're taking me to the zoo?"

Vaughn expertly maneuvered his way into a parking space near the front. "Yes, I'm taking you to the zoo."

I smiled. "But why?"

"You don't remember, do you?"

I looked down guiltily. Obviously the zoo had come up before, but I couldn't place it.

"It was before our first attempt," after seeing my face he quickly added, "I know we weren't going to mention the 'first attempt', but that's that gave me inspiration for this and I just want to clarify."

I nodded.

"Anyways, we were at the hockey rink talking about coming here. I asked if you had ever been and you said that you had and you loved it…the zoo…and the giraffe with the crooked neck."

"Yellow," I whispered.

Vaughn nodded.

I thought, "I remember now. I thought you were more interested in the romance aspect."

"Syd, being anywhere with you is romance. We'll have plenty of time for fancy dinners…maybe even this weekend," he added with a wink. "But I knew this would make you happy. I couldn't wait to see your smile when I got you here."

I couldn't believe how sweet he was. "I love you, Vaughn. Thank you."

He kissed me. "I love you too. And I should thank you for being so perfect."

I blushed.

"But, for now I do believe we have an invitation with a giraffe who has a crooked neck."

I stepped out of the car, "And I believe that you are correct."
