Aubrey pulled into a parking space outside Stacie's workplace, she was taking her on a spontaneous date that they had only planned yesterday during their double date with Beca and Chloe. Aubrey had the day off work and had spent the whole day planning the perfect evening for her and her girlfriend. She knew that Stacie was not the biggest fan of the fairground, mainly because she had a slight phobia of heights and could only be calmed when Aubrey was around. She knew that Stacie wanted to go on the Ferris wheel with her and she was trying to think of ways to make it as enjoyable as possible and to try and avoid Stacie freaking out.

Aubrey's phone then lit up with a text message from Stacie

Stacie:So, are we going on this fairground date or what?

Aubrey let out a slight giggle, even when her girlfriend was not around she could imagine her humorous tone in her voice, then she remembered that she ought to reply or Stacie would have thought she'd forgotten.

Aubrey:You bet we are, not scared are you? ;)

Stacie:Of course not, well not when you're with me anyway :)

Aubrey:Well get your cute butt out here and in this car and then we can go.

Not even five minutes after Aubrey had sent the last message a very excited but very nervous Stacie was climbing into the front seat of their car, visibly relieved to be with Aubrey. Stacie leaned over and gave Aubrey a quick kiss on the lips.

"How was your day" She asked, pulling away from their kiss and putting her seat belt on.

"It was great thank you. But I'm sure I should be asking you that, after all you were the one hard at work while I planned our little outing for this evening" She set up the directions on her phone before they left the car park.

"It took you all day to plan this? You shouldn't have"

"What I can't treat my gorgeous girlfriend every once in a while?" She gave Stacie a quick sarcastic look, her eyes not straying far from the traffic lights ahead of her.

Stacie didn't reply, she slumped down in her seat facing Aubrey and then Stacie gave her best Beca Mitchell don't fuck with me and give me that sarcastic tone face. Aubrey couldn't help but laugh, although Beca wants to be the most badass person possible her facial expressions often say otherwise and when Stacie imitates them it just sends Aubrey into a fit of laughter.

"Hey, no laughing at the wheel please, I want to make it there in one piece thank you." Stacie was now trying to avoid the glare that would inevitably come from the woman driving.

"Excuse you, but it was you who did the brilliant Beca impression that you know sends me into uncontrollable laughter every time" She responded. "So I think you'll find that it is your fault"

"My fault!" Stacie said with a shocked but playful voice "So your poor driving skills are because I'm so ridiculously talented at impressions of our best friends?"

"Would you rather be driving in the lovely 5'o Clock traffic of Los Angeles? I don't think so"

Aubrey was right, Stacie hated driving in this much traffic, luckily her work was only a fifteen minute walk from their apartment, but Aubrey's was a much longer drive away. She did always offer to drive but no, Aubrey all ways insisted and that was one of the many reasons she loves her.

"So are you going to tell me the plans for tonight or am I just going to have to wait and see?" Stacie was rather curious, she and Aubrey had never been to a proper fairground together before and she and Aubrey usually planned dates together, so this was a first.

"Well we're going to a fairground, and then we're going to have dinner" She smirked "That's all I'm telling you"

"Okay then Miss Secretive, now let's put some music on and sing our hearts out"

After thirty five minutes of singing, sitting in traffic and more singing they had arrived at the fairground and then Aubrey saw a sign that made her heart stop.

"Ah dammit!" She exclaimed "They've closed the Ferris wheel" The older woman was visibly upset and annoyed by this. "I was planning to take you on it later, considering you've never been on one and I should have checked the website before I planned it all and now it's all ruined" She was eventually silenced by Stacie pressing a finger to her lips. She didn't understand why her girlfriend was getting so annoyed it was only a Ferris wheel.

"Bree! Calm down" She could see that her girlfriend was getting all worked up and upset. She had spent her day off planning and working out the perfect evening for them and she could see that it was effecting the older woman. She was usually very prepared and she know that this would not be easy to get Aubrey to forget. "It's okay, we can go to the fair another time. We don't have to go tonight"

"But I had it all planned out and I even called your mum to ask her and then I was going to give it to you after the Ferris wheel when we were in the car and now it's just a catastrophe!" She was pacing up and down in front of their car, unaware of what she had just told Stacie.

"Wait. What were you going to give me? You didn't say this was a date that required gifts." She looked at her distressed girlfriends face and realised that she had only just cottoned on to what she had just said in her enraged rant about the wheel. Aubrey was never one for surprises and the fact that she had just spilled the beans on this one would not be going down well in the blonde woman's mind.

"Well you said the other day that you didn't have any nice jewellery to wear apart from the pieces you got for your birthday one year from your parents and the pieces I get you. Then you lost that necklace your parents got you and you were devastated, you looked everywhere for weeks" Aubrey rummaged in her bag for the small square shaped box. "I know you like all the crystals and stuff and I wanted to get you something that reminded you of this date. But now its ruined." She gave Stacie the little box.

"Can I open it?" She asked, not sure of what her girlfriend could possibly be giving her.

"Let me say something first, well something else." She moved closer to her girlfriend and held her hand. "I love you so much and I know that I'm not very good with words and talking to you but I also know that you understand me and you know when I need some space or when I need you to just sit there with me and watch some girly rom-com and eat popcorn" she could feel herself starting to cry and she looked at Stacie and could see that the brunette was also welling up but she still had a beaming smile on her face. "It's nothing special but I talked to your mum and she said that this was your favourite when you were younger and that you had a whole collection" She paused for a minute to let herself and Stacie breathe and try and keep their emotions under control.

"No offense but are you finished because I don't know if I cannot not cry from the amount of cute you have just said and I haven't even opened it yet." She looked at Aubrey, she was never one to let her emotions overwhelm her but tonight was an exception, and they were both on the brink of crying.

"I think you better open it before I say anything else."

Stacie looked to the little box in her hand, it had come from one of the more expensive jewellers in town, she knew from when Beca would drag her around shop after shop to find the perfect engagement ring for Chloe. She slowly lifted the lid of the box and there on a little velvet cushion was a necklace, but it wasn't just any necklace, it was in the shape of a heart and in the middle of that heart was filled with rose quartz, Stacie's favourite crystal, and on the other side it had the picture Chloe had taken on their last double date that Stacie was sure she had never seen before, they were looking at each other as if no one else was in the room and then she remembered, she and Aubrey had just linked hands and it brought them back to the days when they were secretly dating. She had no idea what to say. So she looked up at Aubrey, her face looked anxious and worried, but she shouldn't be. She just got Stacie the best gift imaginable and she couldn't even speak and words to thank the woman currently stood in front of her.

So she moved forward and placed her lips on Aubrey's, this was the only thing she could do as words had failed her, who knew Aubrey Posen had the power to make her speechless. She kissed Aubrey, curling one hand in her hair and keeping one on her waist, holding the little green box all the time. She never knew a kiss could be filled with so much thankful-ness that, right now, words cannot express.

Aubrey put her hands on Stacie's hips, pulling her closer, she never wanted to lose her and she knew that this kiss meant something, not that all the light kisses to the cheek or the lips didn't, but this was full of something she couldn't describe and she was sure Stacie couldn't either. She stood there while Stacie was opening the box, just looking at her. She was happy and surprised and curious all at the same time. Aubrey never wanted to forget that face. After what felt like forever to the two women, the pulled apart and looked at each other, both breathless from the kiss and the emotions that had been expressed during those last ten minutes.

"I thought that I had never told you about my collection" She looked at Aubrey and found that she was already looking at her. "Only my mum knew about that collection"

"Well I phoned her up to ask if there was any particular stone you liked as it would be too obvious if I asked you, so she told me all about it" She grinned at her girlfriend "Do you know what it means." She asked Stacie this being prepared to be told all about it, after all she did have a collection, and she was right.

"It means unconditional love, you're meant to have it close to a picture or something of a loved one. So that's why the picture is in the back!"

"Yup, your mum told me all about the unconditional love but so I did some research and found that people usually keep it close to pictures and things of loved ones, so I thought it would be a perfect chance to show off that photo"

"The photo, the rose quartz" Stacie hugged Aubrey "I love it, I love all of it"

They stood their hugging not caring that they were currently in a car park of a fair on a Friday evening. Aubrey broke the hug and suggested that they go and get some dinner as the gift giving had taken quite a long time, especially with Aubrey's rants.

An hour and a half later they were sat in a restaurant finishing off the remains of their main course, as they had briefly been to the fair Aubrey had had fish and chips to keep with the theme and Stacie had some chicken dish that neither of them could pronounce but it tasted good so that's all that matters. As they were sharing a chocolate brownie for desert Stacie asked Aubrey how long she had planned the gift for.

"I knew I wanted to get you something special and I couldn't wait for your birthday, so when Chloe e-mailed me the picture of us two I knew it had to go in it and then I thought why not give it to you tonight, but then that backfired and I just rambled on and it just came out" She looked disappointed with herself for spilling the secret of this necklace, but Stacie was glad for her occasional rambles.

"Now I have to surprise you with a gift" Stacie smirked "I can't just leave you to get me a gift and you not give you anything in return, that's not fair"

"It's okay, you can thank me when we're back at our apartment" She gave Stacie a wink and ate the last bit of brownie off of her spoon.

They paid for their meal and left the restaurant hand in hand, they had parked their car by the fair. It was only a short walk back to the car park. There was even some of the stalls left open that sold all the fairground treats. As they approached the car Stacie let go of Aubrey's hand and ran off in the direction of the stall.

"Wait there!" She bellowed back at Aubrey.

Two minutes later she returned with what looked like a cloud on a stick.

"What on earth is this?"

"Its candyfloss" Stacie replied with a smirk

"I know that, but why is it in a funny shape?"

"Well I asked him to do it in the shape of a rose for you, but it didn't really work"

"That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me" She held Stacie's face in between her hands and placed kisses all over her face. "Thank you"

"It's the least I can do after what you have done for me, now get your gorgeous butt in that car and lets go home" Aubrey went to get in the driver's side of the car before Stacie stopped her. "Nope, I'll drive"

"You don't have to do that"

"Yes I do, and then this way you can eat your candy floss"

So with a happy grin Stacie drove them both home and she watched as Aubrey ate the deformed candy floss rose, she was very happy, mainly because she didn't have to go on a Ferris wheel for a long while yet, and because Aubrey was happy and when one was happy, the other one was too.
