OK so I'm behind again but it's ok. Hope you like it.

July 12: Shooting Star

This wasn't a date, no it was just a meeting of two friends from two different places. The young woman getting off the bus has been counting down the days for this moment. A young man stands on the platform waiting for that same young woman to change his life. Once she arrives they set off to her hotel. They are both feeling awkward around each other.

"I'm ever so glad I could make it out here again."
"Yeah, I'm glad too." Snort.
"So, what's first on the agenda?"
"Ummm, I thought maybe dinner first and than maybe, ummm, a hay ride."
"Oh, that sounds ever so wonderful Arnie. Let get going shall we."
"Yeah." Snort.

Arnie had reservation at the new restaurant in town, where they went to enjoy a nice meal together. They slowly started to relax during their dinner. Arnie wanted this to be special for Lila. Once they finished dinner, they went to catch a hay ride. On the hayride all they could see were stars, millions upon millions of stars.

"Oh, Arnie this is ever so beautiful."
"Not really." Snort.
"What do you mean Arnie? How can this not be beautiful?"
"It's ummm, not you."
"Oh, Arnie!" Swoon.
"Lila, I want to ask you something, snort, I know it's kinda out of the blue, but it's how I feel about you."
"Oh, ummm, ok Arnie ask away."

Before Arnie could ask his question, the sky started to light up slowly with shooting stars. Lila stood up looking on in amazement as the meteor shower increased. Arnie looked up at Lila and his breath was taken away at the sight. With this knowledge he finally made a decision, got the small velvet box out, and position himself on one knee. Once the show of shooting stars was over Lila turned around to find Arnie on one knee.

"Lila, I know that we have been seeing each other as friends for a while but, snort, I just need to go beyond everything. I want to go against the norm and keep you all for myself. I want you to be my wife, snort, even though we never really dated. I feel that we have gone past, oh no, I'm babbling." Arnie laughs and shakes his head, snort. "I've never talked this much. Would you be my wife?"

Arnie just closed his eyes and waited for her decision. Lila, on the other hand, was just in shock. She looked at the ring in the box. It was an elegant ring with a small diamond shaped heart surrounded by very small emeralds set in white gold. It was breathtaking. Lila thought about everything they had gone through and something just clicked. Lila closed the ring box. Arnie felt defeated thinking she was about to say no. In the next moment Arnie is tackled by Lila and he's surrounded by kisses.

"Yes, I'll marry you. You don't know how long I've wanted this."
Snort.

Arnie caught Lila's lips in a very passionate kiss with the promise of forever.


I know this seems weird but I felt that even if they had broken up in 4th grade. They would still see each other as friends. Even if they never date they would still grow in love with each other. Sorry if Arnie is OOC in this but I wanted to show the love he has for Lila and how it changes him. Hope y'all like it and have an adventure of your own.
