The next morning, Keely woke up to a very good smell filling the house. She hesitated at the thought of exploring downstairs, because Phil wasn't in the bed. Eventually she made up her mind and slunk down the stairs quietly. She peeked around the corner as her heart raced, and it slowed down when she saw Phil on the couch playing his guitar. He was playing a love song, but he wasn't singing. Keely recognized the song... it was a slow version of Protecting Me.
Keely snuck up on him and started rubbing his shoulders.
" Whoa! Keel, you scared me! " Phil said, almost dropping his guitar.
" Sorry... I didn't want to scare you. I see that you were playing Protecting Me... why weren't you singing? " Keely asked.
" Because my voice sounds like a herd of dying cows. "
Keely laughed until Phil kissed her. She instantly stopped.
" Good morning to you, too! " Keely smiled.
" Oh, Keel, good news! Well, actually two things of good news. "
" Tell me... I'm always up for good news, especially after what happened last night, " Keely
said, shuddering at the thought. Phil winced at the thought. Neither one of them wanted it to
happen again.
" Well, one thing, the island police caught Ryan. "
" Oh, Phil, that's GREAT! " Keely yelled, happy tears springing from her eyes.
" Yeah, I know... that was the better news. The other good news is that there is a luau party going on tomorrow from 5:00 to 9:00. Do you wanna go? "
" Sure! But... I don't have anything to wear. That's a problem, " Keely said worriedly.
" There's a shop a few blocks down. We could go shopping if you want to. "
" Phil, you read my mind! Let's go! " Keely yelled, rushing upstairs to get ready.
After about 20 minutes, Keely was ready to go. Phil had already gotten ready before Keely woke up that morning.
" Wow, Keel... you look... amazing! "
" Thank you, Philly - Willy. "
" I thought we agreed that was off the table! "
" Just as long as we're together, you're Philly - Willy. MY Philly - Willy, " Keely said in her ditzy blonde way.
" I - guess I can live with that. Let's just go. How much money do you have? "
" Well, the sweepstakes came with a 200 dollar shopping spree... 100 for you and 100 for me. Good deal, huh? "
" Absolutely! Where are we going? " Phil asked.
" We'll just walk around, I guess. "
" Alright, " Keely said as she walked out the door. Phil followed right behind her, locking the door and running up to her to hold her hand.
