The next day Phil and Keely were at the courts playing tennis.

"So Keel," Phil said as he hit the ball back to her, "have you thought of where you want to go yet?"

"Yeah," Keely replied returning the ball, "I was thinking, if we get an early start we can go to San Diego and L.A., and then work our way up to San Francisco. Is that okay Phil?"

"Like I said before, it's your birthday, you deserve it." They played a few more games and by the time they were through playing it was around noon.

"You up for a quick lunch?" Phil asked.

"A quick lunch?" Keely said in awe, "I thought we took everything slow, like this," Keely said, pulling Phil in for a passionate kiss.

"I know. But I do have some things to do before we leave on vacation remember," Phil reminded.

"I'm just saying," Keely said playfully. Phil and Keely walked to the nearset Subway and got sandwiches. As soon as they finished, he quickly walked Keely home and jetted to his own house. He jumped in the car and went straight to the mall. He got there right on time. The same guy from yesterday was at Kay Jewelers.

"Hello Mr. Diffy. Right on time. Here's your necklace," the jeweler grinned.

"Can I have a red velvet case instead of a blue one. And a black ribbon instead of green," Phil asked.

"Of course," he replied.

"Sorry, but his has to be special. Someday, I'll be back here getting a ring to propose," Phil sighed staring out in space, not realizing he was spilling his dreams to a total stranger.

"Ah, I see. You know, I never introduced myself, I'm Markus Paxton; but
you can call me Mark," Mark introduced.

Phil got his necklace and headed to the Hallmark store for a card. He wanted a romantic birthday card. Phil looked around for a while and then he finally found it. It was a card where you can put a custom photo in front, and it had a blank inside too; to make it your own. So Phil bought the card and went home. He went inside the house, grabbed the kitchen phone and a pen and paper, thenwent to his room.

First, he called hotels for a place to stay. Phil called numerous Holiday Inns, Embassy Suites, and Best Westerns, but they were all either booked up or too expensive. At last he found one, a beach resort called "Pacific Dreams Resort", and it was on the San Francisco Bay. It was affordable and he made it for one week.

Next, Phil worked on the card. For the picture he used one of them hugging, Pim had taken it while eaves-dropping. It was picture perfect. Now, the hard part was the inside. Then, it hit him.

Keely,

You don't know how nuch I love you,

So, here's a perfect gift

For a perfect girlfriend.

Happy 16th birthday!

Love, Phil

XOXO

Phil wrote it in and liked the envelope shut. Last, he picked up the phone and called Keely saaying they were leaving tomorrow. He packed everything he needed, including the gift which he could not afford to lose. When he finishedhe went down for dinner and ate. Then went to bed early, knowing that there was a big day of driving ahead of him.

(A/N): Thank you to those who did review. I hope you like chapter two. Sorry if it's cheesy and not too much Pheely.
