Chapter One: Answered Proposal

"Okay, Stan. I did it." Maxwell burst through the door.

"And...What did she say?" Stan eagerly asked.

"Nothing. She's torturing me by making me wait the traditional six days," Maxwell groaned. Stan chuckled.

-.-.-.

"Ugh...Sandy, Sandy, Sandy...What did I tell you?! If you love the guy, say 'yes' right away!" Stan teasingly yelled at his sister later that night. She looked down at her glittering ring and blushed.

"I know, I know. It's just that, I didn't wanna seem desperate..." she trailed off. "Poor guy..."

"You should give him your answer now," Stan suggested.

"How? It's not like I'm going to see him anytime soon. I mean, he still thinks we're not going to see each other for about a week." Stan grinned mischievously. "What's that look for?"

"Call him," Stan pointed to the phone.

"Stan, I can't just call him. It'd be better if I told him in person," Sandy criticized the idea.

"Call him."

"Stan! That's like, so tacky and- What are you doing?"

Stan was over at the small coffee table dialing the phone.

"Giving you a little push towards destiny by doing the hard part," was her brother's reply as he handed her the phone.

"Oh, yeah...the actual conversation is the easy pa-" She stopped her sarcastic bantering when Maxwell picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Maxy! Hi!"

"Sandy, I..."

"Yes, Maxwell?"

"I didn't think I'd be hearing from you so soon," he chuckled. "Is something wrong?"

"No, Max. I just wanted to tell you something."

A lump formed in Maxwell's throat and he began to sweat. Anticipating the worst, he began to tear up as his heart began to sink. Stan, who was watching all of this from the couch, became antsy. 'Go on...go on...' he silently urged.

Taking a deep breath, Sandy shakily said, "Maxwell...Yes, I will marry you."

Tears flowed from both of their eyes. Even Stan had some trickle down his face.

"Oh, Sandy..." Maxwell nearly sobbed. "You don't know how happy I am." Sandy giggled.

"I think I do." She smiled.

All was quiet for a moment.

"I think we should get off the phone," Maxwell said gently.

"Alright. I love you, Maxy. Good night."

"I love you too. Sweet dreams, Sandy."

Click.

Stan quickly wiped the tears from his eyes as Sandy turned around. She ran over to her brother and tackled him. The two laughed.

"Oh, Stanley...Thank you!" She squealed.

"Congratulations, sis..."

"Stan, you sound sad..." Sandy gently pointed out.

"I'm happy," he said defensively. "But-"

"But what?"

"My baby sister's growing up SO fast!" he sobbed.

"Oh, Stanley... I'll always be your baby sister, no matter how old I get." she kissed his cheek.

"Alright," he said slowly. "Well, I better get outta here. It's nearly eleven."

"Good night," they said in unison.

Sandy nearly floated up the stairs to her bedroom as Stan quietly slipped out the door.

'Someday...someday...' Stan thought to himself hopefully.
