A/N : Thank you all so much for your confidence in me! It means so much! Now, I know you are all dying to know what's in the packages, so therefor I will start. Otherwise I'll never get to the next chapter, where you find out.
KIDDING ! (was that lame...)
Nah, you'll find out in a few minutes...Stay tuned. And review. Pretty please?
Ps : sorry it's such a short one, I have to go somewhere tonight, but couldn't go a day without updating, could I?

The only truth I know is you Sara
Ps : I know you're curious, but remember what my mother said. "Curiosity killed the dog."
Sara laughed out loud at Michael's imitation of Sassy. She'd always pegged him more for the Chance-type. Was she comparing him to cats and dogs? She shrugged and let her fingers wander over the first box. Her hands found the edges to it and she carefully tried to open it, but eventually gave up and ripped it open.
She sighed when she found a cardboard box. He wasn't pulling one of those box-within-box-within-box tricks on her, right? 'Cause if he was, she'd be killing him. But as she planted a pair of scissors into the box, not even caring to find the opening anymore, she was relieved not to stumble upon another piece of carton.
See, she thought. This is why I was never good at copy-paste-hour in kindergarten. She let out a frustrared sigh and let go of the scissors, pulling back to stare at the thing. Damn you, Michael! He was teasing her! He and his structural engineering stuff.
Leaning forward to try again, she finally managed to pull the box apart and she let out an 'aww' when she saw what was in it.
A/N : This is the part where you find out.
It was a teddy-dog, white with small black flecks and a bald spot every now and then. She softly stroked the little furry thing. Smiling, she pulled out the little card accompanying it.
Sara.
This – is Chance. I've had him since I was about eight, and had seen Homeward Bound for the very first time. Wherever I was, he was never far away. Imagine the things this little guy has seen! Couldn't take him with me to – you know. Don't think it would have looked all that masculin. But I want you to keep him safe now. Maybe even snuggle every once in a while. He loves it.
Keep it with you, and I'll be there when you sleep. Because :
My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day
-Simon and Garfunkel
Love you forever.
Ps : How'd you like opening the box?
She wanted to kiss him and smack him up the head at the same time. She softly cradled Chance and pressed her lips to his nose, aching to smell something Michael on him. Smiling, she walked him over to their bed and lay him down on Michael's side.
"And you better not try anything!" She giggled and left the room to open the other package. She looked to the ceiling. Please, don't let it be another structural engineered thing!
It wasn't. She peered inside and pulled out the small bracelet, that seemed to have been made for her, fitting her perfectly. A small green diamond hung from it, the soft sunlight making it sparkle like a ... it was a diamond. Man! Suddenly, she was reminded of her first boyfriend, who had given her a similar bracelet. She was so overjoyed, thinking about how much it prooved she was worth to him.
That diamond was fake. But this time, Michael loved her enough. He loved her enough.
She folded open the note.
Sparkle, sparkle.
Love.
Michael
She grinned. Oh, Michael. Clasping the bracelet around her wrist, she pressed a small kiss to it.
I have the bestest boyfriend ever!
The next day
Michael
Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion
A scene badly written in which I must play
And though it puts me uptight to leave you
I know it's not right to leave you
The morning is just a few hours away
Michael sat in his cell and anxiously bit his nails. Did she like the presents? Were they too cliché? Damn it! He should have...Should have...
He was startled by Ben's hand on his back, winking at him reassuringly. They had grown even closer after Ben told him about his story. Their frienship was real, too.
"Scofield! It's time for your doctor's appointement."
Michael looked at Ben one last time, and in his eyes there was the knowing that it was okay, that she loved his presents, and that she loved him. Michael sighed at his friends reassurence.
Who needed words anyway?
He nervously walked over to the infirmary door, walked through – and was greeted with a hand pulling him behind the curtain and lips attacking his own.
He snickered. Guess she liked them...
Please review! Hope you liked the presents - let me know!
