John stared out the foggy window pane and sighed miserably. He was still daydreaming about the past prom night, but that was so long ago. So many memories to remember. "How could this happen to me?" John asked himself. "How?"

Eight years ago...

His mom, Jenny's parents, and Dylan were excited about them being together! The couple had gone on dates since then, all of them creating a greater and greater layer on top of their relationship.

Everyday, they told each other that they loved each other. Everyday, they told each other that they loved each other. Everyday they kissed each other for a hello and kissed each other for a good-bye, they even kissed each other for the smallest of reasons during their dates. John held Jenny's hand almost every time they could, even around his friends. They would pass notes during class.

They did everything with each other. They even talked about sex with each other, but agreed that it would be something to save themselves until marriage. They knew they were going to marry each other, but they couldn't decide. Right after college, right after high school, they didn't know. Finally, about when both of them graduated from high school and started to go to a small college in Gotham, they started to get more and more close.

When the two graduated from Gotham University, with John having his degree in psychology and Jenny having her degree in education, Jenny became a Kindergarten teacher and John went to medical school. After all his learning was finished, John went off to be a psychologist. Then, about a month after he became a psychologist, he took Jenny on a walk.

"Jenny," he began, "you know that you're the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I fall asleep. I've loved you since I saw you the first day I met you. You are the most beautiful thing in the world. So, this is why I ask you this."

John stopped in the middle of the track and turned to Jenny. He kneeled down on one knee and took a small, blue velvet box out of his pants pocket. "Jenny," he said, opening the box to reveal a beautiful gold ring with a diamond sticking out of the middle, "will you marry me?"

Jenny just stared at John. Then, she quickly smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, yes, I will marry you!" After he pulled the ring onto her ring finger, she jumped on top of him, hugging him forever. About a month later, the couple got married, with Dylan as the best man, and the twins' mother alive and well to join the wedding.

The couple got married on a beautiful spring day on a beach and they had never been happier in their lives. That is, not since the prom night six years ago.

The couple had been happily married for three years. But then, John figured out about the League of Shadows by one of his clients. John just went there to check them out, but one thing led to another and he became a member. Not really a member, but just in on the plan to destroy Gotham. But the one thing kept haunting his mind. Jenny.

"I've got a surprise for you!" John announced one day as he got back from work.

"Hi honey!" Jenny replied.

"Well, I know how much you've missed your family since Dylan and your parents moved to California, so I got you a little gift." Suddenly, John grabbed a little envelope out of his pants pocket. He handed it to Jenny. As she opened it, she jumped up and hugged John, nearly letting the airplane ticket fly in the air.

"John!" she screamed out. "Thank you so much!" As she let go of the hug, he leaned forward and kissed her. She looked down at the ticket and looked back at her husband.

"Are you not going?" Jenny asked.

"I really want to," John said, "but I have an important meeting here that I have to attend to."

"Did you mean to book it on this flight?"

"It was the only time Dylan and your parents had time to see you. And when I found out it was on the same week as my meeting, I really wanted to re-schedule, but I couldn't. You understand, right?"

"Of course I understand. Anyone can replace a Kindergarten teacher for a week or so, but no one can replace a psychologist for a week."

"I wish that they could. Then, I would be going on the vacation with you." Jenny wrapped her arms around John's neck and kissed him passionately. As she kissed her husband, Jenny Crain couldn't help but think this thought. Something bad's going to happen while I'm gone. Something really bad.
