Place: Mel's house: Victory Party
"Woo-hoo! Who rocked? Who rocked?" Andy shouted as he danced on the table.
"Get off my freaking table!" Mel said kicking Andy. "Yeesh, I'm trying to keep it clean!"
"Ow . . ." Andy groaned on the floor. Various conversations and arguments sprang up throughout the house.
"Pass the Orange Cola!"
"Hey it's MY turn to play!"
"Where's the pizza?"
"Where's the remote?"
"Where's the washroom?"
" . . .chaos as usual." Mel sighed. "This is the absolute, and I mean absolute last time we party at my house."
"Oh? I thought you liked it when we had parties." Sami said.
"We're so using the HQ next time." He smirked.
"Yeah." She said hugging him. "Feeling better now?"
"Yep . . ."
"Okay!"
"Could you check if that cake's done yet?" Mel asked her.
"All right. Is it chocolate cake?"
"Of course it is 'mi."
"Yay!" She gave a shout as she opened up the fridge.
"Is it ready?"
"Nope, not cold enough."
"Okay . . ."
"Hey Mel . . ." She said walking up next to him.
"Yeah?"
"Don't you dare try to get yourself killed again, okay?"
"Haha . . .I promise Sami."
"Good, because if you do get killed, I'll never forgive you."
"Yes 'dear'." 'Hell hath no wrath like that of a woman . . .'
"Ooh. Haha . . ."
"Remember at the school, when we got voted most unlikely couple?"
"Yup."
"We sure as hell prove them wrong right?"
"Right!" She laughed.
"Ah! There you two are!" Came Sonja's voice.
"Oh, hey Sonja."
"Have you seen either my dad or Andy?"
" . . .nope. Not really. Everyone's too busy having a good time either way."
"Ah . . .I wonder what happened to those two . . ."
"Wait . . .both your dad and Andy are gone?" Sami asked.
" . . .yeah."
" . . .uh oh. Mel, do you think that they're . . ."
"What do you mean Sami?"
"Outside . . .fighting?"
" . . .ah crap . . .you're probably right."
"ACK! ANDY! DADDY!" Sonja yelled running to the outer courtyard.
" . . .you actually think Andy's fighting with Kanbei?" Sami asked.
" . . .more like running like hell."
"Haha . . ."
"Hahaha . . ."
"Heehee . . ."
"Hmm . . .well, there's not really much to do eh Sami?"
"Not really."
"D'you figure anything will happen anytime soon?"
"Who knows, who knows?" Sami said shrugging.
"You're right."
"Whatever Mel, you're thinking too much into the future for the time being. C'mon let's get some of the hard stuff into you!" She said pulling out a case of beer from the fridge.
"Ah . . .you wanna have a drinking contest with me?"
"If that's what you want Mel, you're on." Sami laughed.
"That's what you think missy . . ."
"Well, here goes Mel! Cheers!"
"Haha . . .yeah . . .yeah . . .you all hear? Cheers! To our victory!" Mel said raising the can.
"You got that right Mel!"
"Haha . . .well, down the hatch." Mel said downing the contents.
Time: Some time later
Place: Mel's house
"Mel?"
"Yeah?"
"Where'd Andy go . . .?" Sami asked.
"Huh . . .?"
"He's not in."
"Oh . . ."
"What do you mean by 'Oh . . .'?"
"I think he went house hunting or somethin' . . ."
"Wha . . .?"
"I told him I was gonna kick him out someday before we get hitched 'mi . . ."
"Oh. I see."
"Yeah, so he'd better get a house for himself pretty damn soon."
"Hee . . .I guess so Mel."
"Hmm . . ."
"What's the matter?"
"Ah . . . nothin'."
"It's been a couple weeks now . . ."
"Yeah . . .so?"
"What's the date today?"
"Hmm . . .the – "
"Aha . . .I knew it." Sami said resting her hands on his shoulders. "Happy twenty second Mel . . ."
"So you had something planned all along?" He asked looking at her.
"You know it's surprising how fast time flies hmm?"
"Yeah . . .it's only been three years . . .and I've already gone through all this . . .it's amazing really."
"Well . . .I know how you hate really big parties . . .so, it's just dinner with just the two of us."
"Ah . . .say Sami, I'm not sure if I've figured this out right or not . . .but you're actually a year younger than me right?"
"Hmm . . .? Yeah I am . . .why?"
"Just wonderin' . . ."
"Oh . . .haven't you realized that three years ago?"
"Wait . . .so then it's your twenty first in less than a month then . . .ah . . .I see now."
"Man you're pretty ignorant sometimes . . ." Sami sighed.
"I know . . ."
"Hmm . . ."
"At least I still got you something during those three years . . ."
"Yep . . .you did."
"so . . .what are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Oh I was planning on making a . . ." She took his hand as they walked to the kitchen.
The End
