Niles walked into the Cascade Falls Spa with a sense of pride. Not only was he going to finally take the woman of his dreams home, but he couldn't wait to tell her about his unexpected fame. He just knew she'd be proud of him.

God knows he was proud of her.

He tried not to think of how unhappy she'd been mere weeks ago, struggling to lose the weight she'd gained. No matter how many times he told her that she was beautiful and that he loved her with his whole heart, the sadness was still there.

It was Frasier's idea to send her to the spa and Niles was most grateful.

But he'd meant what he'd said; He would love Daphne no matter how much she weighed. He'd love her forever, in fact.

With a smile on his face, he walked up to the receptionist desk.

"Hi! How can I help you?" the cheerful woman asked.

"Yes, I'm here to pick up Daphne Moon. I'm Dr. Niles-."

The woman's eyes widened. "Niles Crane?"

"Why yes, but I find it hard to believe that you recognized me so quickly. I haven't been here in quite a while and-."

"Oh my God! I can't believe it! Donna, you'll never believe it!" Brenda screamed.

"What?" Donna asked, instantly appearing at Brenda's side. "What's gotten you so worked up?"

"Look!" Brenda said, pointing to Niles.

Donna's jaw dropped. "You're Niles Crane!"

Niles blushed. "Well, yes and thank you for showing interest in my work. It's rare that people actually recognize psychiatrists but when they do-."

"Work shmirk!" Brenda said. "We saw you on TV the other night! At the Sonics-Lakers game! When they called your name and you made that basket? Why we just couldn't believe it!"

"Oh, well... Thank you but it was pure luck, believe me."

"No way! You're a natural on the basketball court!" Donna said. "They should hire you to be their center! The one they have now is awful!"

Brenda rolled her eyes. "Derrick Parrot? I mean who gives their kid a name that rhymes? That's horrible! And his playing is even worse! You'd make a great center!"

Niles looked at the women in confusion. "Center of what?"

Brenda and Donna burst out laughing. "And he's hilarious too! Daphne is so lucky to have you! But tell me, how in the world did you make that shot? It was incredible!"

A woman clearly older than Brenda and Donna approached him and shook his hand.

"Niles Crane, how nice to meet you! Daphne's told me so much about you, but she didn't mention how handsome you were."

Niles grinned. "Oh, well I'm sure she wanted to keep that secret to herself." He said, causing the women to laugh even louder.

"Look at him; he's blushing like a teenager!" Gloria said. "Boy, I'm so jealous that I missed your big moment! I mean, I've seen the clips on the news but I bet it was much more exciting in real-time! I would give anything to see that!"

"Anything you say?"

"Well yes, but it was just a figure of-."

"Would you be willing to give me five minutes?" Niles asked.

"Sure, Dr. Crane, but-."

"I'll be right back!" Niles yelled, rushing out of the building.
