Here Be Da Story.
With a smile, Gar rolled over in his bed and greeted the lovely blonde lady next to him, "Good morning, beautiful." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. "Its gonna be great day, love!" He said as he ran a hand through her thick golden locks. Tiredly, he reached to his nightstand and grabbed something.
"You're such a good dog Vanilla! I love you," he threw her a dog treat and she ate it up in seconds. Gar grabbed a pair of jeans and slipped them on quickly over his shorts, then began digging desperately through his drawer for a shirt. "Go get your leash. We're going on a walk and Raven said she would meet us." Hearing Raven's name, Vanilla jumped off of the bed in a flash and ran to retrieve her leash. As soon as she left she was back with her black leash in her jaws.
Gar heard her panting endlessly and spoke, "Be patient my friend. Patience is a virtue." As Gar continued to search, Vanilla wagged her tail and dropped the leash at his feet.
Triumphantly, Gar pulled out a decent, black, collared, shirt. "Tada!" he exclaimed holding out his arms to show Vanilla his ensemble. She barked her approval and nodded down at the leash. "Come on old girl, you don't need that stupid thing. You're a perfectly good dog! Lets go! Don't want to keep Raven waiting, do we?" As soon as her name left his lips, Vanilla was at the door waiting for Gar to open it. "Didn't I tell you that patients is a virtue just mere seconds ago?" He asked his happy dog.
He opened the door and the light from the outside spilled into his house, "Wow! Bright light! Must go towards the light," he commented walking towards the light in a zombie like way.
The strange couple reached the park, Vanilla far ahead of Gar. She was already having her fur stroked by a purple haired teen. Vanilla was panting heavily when Gar finally strolled up. "Good morning, Raven! And today's forecast is partly cloudy and full of beautiful faces!" he spoke like a whether man referring to Raven and his golden lab. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, I slept wonderfully. And I dreamed of wonderful things. How about you? Sweet dreams?" she asked plainly.
"Oh yes! This morning Vanilla was licking my face and at the same time I dreamed you were kissing me! Ironic, aiy?" he laughed. Happily, he swung his arm around Raven's waist, and she just rolled her eyes. Trotting slowly, Vanilla followed along side Gar. "You know, Raven, I am the luckiest most honored guy in the world. I get to stand next to the two most beautiful ladies in the whole universe!" He spoke as he gently kissed Raven's cheek.
"Do you even begin to realize how crazy you are?" Raven asked simply as she rolled her eyes at his comment.
Laughing, Gar replied, "Do you even begin to realized how wonderful you are?" He smiled, as he knew he would earn an eye roll for what he had said.
"Gar, you are way to obsessive," as she spoke the crazy man's smile went ear to ear.
"And proud of it!"
Good morning beautiful
How was your night
Mine was wonderful
With you by my side
And when I open my eyes
And see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day
I didn't see the light
I didn't know day from night
I had no reason to care
But since you came along
I can face the dawn
Cause I know you'll be there
Just as it had been so sunny moments earlier, as quick as a pie in the face, came tear drops from Heaven. Only, Raven, who usually was quite observant, didn't seem to notice at all. Rather quickly, Gar and Vanilla became soaking wet from head to toe, or nose to tail. Vanilla shook the water off continually, with no success while Gar rung his longish hair out, also with no success. As quick as they could get it dry, it was wet again. Giving up, Gar, whose hair was sticking to his face, looked toward Raven.
"Oh my goodness! Raven, you're glowing!" Raven rolled her eyes, She loved it when Gar said nice things, but today he was just saying too many nice things. When she opened her mouth to speak Gar's voice took off instead, "Vanilla! Don't shake on me!" he begged the dog that was continually trying to shake the buckets of water off of her back.
"Gar, stop the sweet talk. It is nice once and a while, but constantly like this . . ." she was interrupted by a finger being pointed at her and Gar desperately speaking.
"No, Rae! Seriously, you are glowing! The rain isn't hitting you and it makes it look like you glow. See, Rae, when I am with you, the sun is always shinin'," he said as he gave Raven a sideways hug. Raven smiled slightly and continued to walk next to her obsessive, tallish, and weird friend.
Gar smiled as he scooped her up in his arms carrying her like she was a child. "There. Now its easier to walk, and Vanilla and I can stay dry too!" he said looking down to Vanilla who was now dry and trotting close by his side. The same light that was keeping Raven dry surrounded them while she was in Gar's arms.
Raven swung her arms around his neck to keep her self from falling. "Where are you taking me you crazy man?" he just laughed and searched his head for an answer.
If he were a cartoon (Lol) then a light bulb would have appeared above his head right then. He nodded toward the sky then spoke, "Somewhere over that rainbow." She looked up to seen an ever luminous rainbow between the sun and the rain. "Way up high."
Just then, Vanilla saw a squirrel and began to bark loudly. "Vanilla, as long as you stay a dog, that squirrel is never going to hurt you.
"Gar, I need an answer," she commanded flicking her fingers at his head, "Please."
Smiling his 'special' smile, Gar responded, "Oh my Raven, just be quiet and enjoy yourself." He kissed her forehead lightly, "Patience is a virtue, my friend, patience."
Knowing her feet wouldn't touch land for quite some time, she leaned her head on his chest and watched the scenery for a while. They had walked through the park hours ago, then stopped for ice cream upon departing the park, though it had previously been raining. Just afterwards, they caught a cab, with a kind cabby who let them bring Vanilla along. As soon as Gar opened the back door to let her in, she jumped in and headed straight to the front seat. Gar didn't mind as he held the door and Raven climbed in. He quickly got in after her and they had been in the cab ever since.
She was growing tired from the day's walking and fun. Gar wouldn't care, so she let her head fall to his shoulder and slipped away into sleep. But just before she let herself slip into sleep she spoke to him just a few words, "Good night, Garfield." A small chuckle came from the driver that only a dog could hear. Vanilla barked a quite good night and continued to look out the window.
"Good morning, love. Sleep well," he whispered softly as he stroked her silky hair.
I'll never worry
If it's raining outside
Cause in here with you girl
The sun always shines
It was close to ten o'clock when the three finally arrived at a beach on the coast of northern Canada. Raven continued to sleep and Gar had to carry her out of the cab. His foot sunk into the soft sand as he carried Raven through it. Gently he laid her down on the ground and he sat next to her. "Raven, wake up," he whispered shaking her with the utmost care.
When her eyes finally opened, the first thing she saw was Gar's smiling face staring down back at her. "Good morning,' he greeted. "Awake so soon?" He moved out of her vision and she sat up and saw the sky.
"Gar that's, that's astounding! I didn't know you could see the sky and stars so beautifully from here," she gawked. Raven didn't exactly know where she was considering she had been sleeping most of the way there.
"The northern lights! Beautiful yes, but you can't see them from Jump City, so I brought you out here to this beach. It's where my mom met my dad. And I thought you might like to see something that can almost compare to your beauty." Gar smiled knowing that what he had said was unnecessary, but he didn't care.
But it didn't really matter because Raven didn't have time to respond. Gar had turned to her and kissed her lips passionately. Shocked, but happy, Raven draped her arms on his shoulders and kissed back. Moments later, Vanilla got sick of the silence and interrupted by licking Gar's face rapidly. Gar reluctantly parted from Raven, and she just smiled a small smile. "Vanilla, don't be so jealous! You know that there is always going to be room for you in my heart!" he explained to the over excited dog as he pet her head and rubbed her back. Then smile still plastered on his face, he turned to Raven, "I love you, Rae."
Good morning beautiful
How was your night
Mine was wonderful
With you by my side
And when I open my eyes
And see your sweet face
It's a good morning beautiful day, yeah
A good morning beautiful...day
Good morning beautiful
A beautiful day
Good morning beautiful
Good morning beautiful
A beautiful day
Good morning beautiful day
A beautiful day
Good morning beautiful
"I love you too, and I had a wonderful day. But you seem to have taken me into the rainbow, Gar, not over it."
Ok. Done, after three days of working on it, done! Yay. Not that I didn't know what I was doing like usual, I just either didn't have time, or didn't want to type it! Hehe. So I had this funny thought based on a commercial and I am going to type it for you. It has a small part from this story in it.
As Raven looked at the beautifully lit sky she spoke, "Gar it's . . . what's the word?"
"Why don't you spin the wheel of adjectives?" he suggested. Then suddenly out of nowhere appeared a giant wheel with tons of great adjectives.
She spun the wheel watching it go round and round like Nobuhiro Watsuki's eyes. Then after a while it stopped on a word. So she said enthusiastically, " IT'S PHENOMONAL!"
Gar smiled and the two wrapped their arms around each other and stared off into the sky.
Ok, just thought that would be kind of a funny play on a commercial! Rock On! DreamerGirl02
