"No, no, no! Fuck!" Ramona yelled, tearing through what little clothes she had packed in her dresser and closet. Finally, she turned towards the dresser containing the rest of her clothes. She dug through them for a few minutes before holding something up, "Hahaha! Yes!" She yelled.

Chris knocked on Ramona's door, "Hey, everything ok in there?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah Chris everything is fine."

"Ok, you were yellin' like a psycho... Just checkin'."

"Sorry Chris, I was just fighting with my clothes."

Chris laughed, "Right, well Edgar should be here in about an hour, you might wanna get that lazy ass in gear."

Ramona smiled, "All right Chris, I'm on it."

After picking out her outfit, Ramona grabbed her towels and ran to take a shower. She got out and dried her hair and body before brushing her teeth and running back to her room. She got dressed, fixed her hair, and did her make-up.

Ramona stood in front of her mirror and checked herself over one more time. She had on a black spaghetti strap v-neck fairy skirt dress with an electric blue sash around her waist, black leather boots with small heels, a small diamond bracelet, and a short peacock feather in her hair hanging in her face. She had on blue eye shadow that matched the sash she wore, shimmering pink lip gloss, and light pink glitter in place of blush. She grinned and grabbed her black leather purse.

She walked downstairs and looked at Chris, "How do I look?"

Her sister turned and grinned, "Lookin' good babe."

"Thanks."

There was a knock at the door and Chris smiled, "Wait here kiddo." She ran to answer the door. After a few seconds, she yelled, "Ramona! Edgar is here!"

Ramona walked out of the kitchen and into the main room. Edgar was standing in the entrance of the door. He had on a black, long sleeved, collared pirate shirt, black corduroy dress pants, black lace up combat boots, his red bandana tied around his neck like a tie, and an army green canvas backpack slung around his looked at Ramona, "Wow, you look great Ramona."

She smiled, "Thanks Edgar... I like your tie."

He looked down and laughed nervously, adjusting his tie, "Thanks... I like your feather."

"Well, I want to get a picture before you guys leave." Chris smiled, "Is that ok?"

Ramona looked at Edgar, who nodded, "Yeah Sis... It's cool."

"Great," She grabbed the camera she had sat on the table earlier, "Move in close together."

Edgar and Ramona awkwardly got closer to each other. He put his arm around her waist.

Chris snapped a picture, "Ok guys... Thanks."

Edgar looked at her, "Are you ready to go? My parents are excited to meet you."

Ramona smiled, "Yeah." She kissed Chris on the cheek, "Love ya sis."

"Love ya too kiddo. Have fun guys."

Edgar and Ramona strolled down the street, hand in hand.

"I'm kinda nervous... What if they don't like me?" She asked.

Edgar put his arm around her shoulders, "Hey, they're gonna love you." He looked her up and down, "I know it."

Ramona smiled, "You think so?"

He nodded, "Yeah."

When they got to the comic shop, Edgar opened the door for Ramona, "Go on, everything will go great."

Behind the counter was Edgar's parents, finally awake. When they saw her, they smiled.

Edgar nudged her forward and she cleared her throat, "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Frog, I'm Ramona Banks."

Edgar's mom took off her sunglasses. She had long, tangled brown hair and Edgar's eyes, "Hello, I'm Edgar's mom."

Edgar's father had shoulder length black hair with a white stripe, dark green eyes, and a fairly long beard, "Hi."

Edgar shifted uncomfortably, and Ramona spoke up, "I like your necklace Mrs. Frog."

She looked down, "Thank you dear." She smiled at her son, "I like her Edgar dear, she's lovely."

"And her aura is very clean." His father added.

"Did you name Edgar and Alan after the poet?" She asked.

His mother nodded, "Yes, his writings are dark, but so beautiful." She grabbed her husband's hand, "Right?"

He nodded and Ramona smiled, "I couldn't agree more. He's absolutely wonderful." Then, as if on a whim, she added, "From my books surcease of sorrow..."

"Sorrow for the lost Lenore..." His mother added.

"For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name..." Edgar's father looked at him, a slight clue in the back of his head what he would say, what he should say if he had any brains.

"Ramona." Edgar said slowly, "Nameless here for evermore..."

His mother smiled and fixed a loose strand of hair out of his face, "You two should go before it gets too dark."

He nodded, "Right."

"It was nice to meet you both." Ramona smiled at them.

"You too dear."

"Come back soon."

She nodded, looking at Edgar, "I will."

Edgar grinned, "Bye mom and dad, I love you guys."

"Bye guys, be safe!"

When they were outside, Edgar took Ramona's hand and grinned, "You blew them away."

She pushed the peacock feather out of her face and grinned back, "You think so?"

He nodded, "Yeah, they liked you, I could tell... They obviously wanted to meet you. Hell, they sobered up to meet you... Well, sobered up a little."

Ramona smiled, "Well, I'm glad that didn't go horribly."

"Me too. Ready to go?"

She nodded, "Yeah."

Edgar walked down the street with Ramona by his side. She looked at him curiously before asking, "So where are we going?"

He smiled, "You'll see. C'mon." Edgar took her by the hand and they walked along in silence.
