I'm back! I know it's been way longer than I said it would be till I updated but, I've been so busy lately. I had work and I'm packing for university since I leave TOMORROW. I get to drive 6 hours from Toronto to Montreal and I'm nowhere near done packing but instead I was writing this! You should all feel lucky that I care about you more than packing. Now, onto the story!
"Tucker, I just don't know how I want to do it!" Danny cried. "I mean, it's Sam. It has to be something extra special."
"Dude, I'm sure if you just did it the way normal people did, she would still say yes and be the happiest girl in the world."
"But Tuck, I don't even know if she will say yes!"
Tucker laughed. It wasn't a small chuckle or even a giggle. Tucker was falling out of his chair laughing. "I'm sorry dude, but for a second there I thought you said you think she might say no."
"It's a possibility! I know Sam loves me but she's always been a bit iffy every time the subject comes up."
"Trust me Danny; if she says no, I'll stop being a techno geek."
"Dude, you're twenty two, you should have stopped that years ago."
"You're just saying that because getting married is like a whole new adult life. I'm not there yet thanks." Tucker said holding his hands up in defence.
"You've been dating my sister since senior year, why is this not even fazing you. She's almost two years older than you and she's gonna want things faster than you are."
"Have you met your sister? She's so focused on her career right now, even the thought of having to settle down might cause her to explode."
Danny chuckled. "Yea I suppose you're right. But just be wary when she does."
"And when she does I will be MORE than happy to oblige."
"I still can't get over the ew factor of my best friend dating my sister, even five years later. Anyway, this is about me right now. How am I gonna pop the question to Sam?"
"Hey, why don't you use that song that you used to first tell her you loved her?"
"No that one is special but in a different way and I don't want to use the same one twice."
Tucker nodded and thought about it. "What about her favourite song?"
"Tucker that might actually be perfect! Her favourite song hasn't changed since she was eighteen and I think it'll be perfect."
"I know it was a great idea and all, but what IS her favourite song?" Tucker asked.
"You will just have to wait and see," Danny said as the thoughts in his head began to change the song lyrics.
Three days later, Danny and Sam were sitting in their apartment with Tucker hidden in the closet with the door open just enough for his video camera to fit through. Danny knew it was time so he got up saying he was going to get a drink, which was Tucker's cue to start recording. Danny ran into their spare bedroom and grabbed his guitar and pressed play on the computer that sat open on the table in the corner of their living room. Sam turned in confusion as Danny began to play along with the music.
Watch the sun,
as it crawls across a final time
and it feels like,
like it was a friend.
It is watching us,
and the world we set on fire
and I wonder,
if you feel the same?
And the sky is filled with light
Can you see it?
All the black is really white
if you believe it
as my time is running out
Help me take away my doubt
you will find a better place
Married to me
"Danny... Did you just do what I think you did?"
Danny pulled out the ring he bought a week ago and said, "Sam will you marry me?"
Sam stood up and walked over to the boy on one knee and got down on her knees in front of him. With tears in her eyes she said "Yes."
Danny's eyes lit up with happiness as he put the ring on her finger and kissed her with so much passion, he forgot Tucker was still there. Tucker got out of the closet and got closer to show Sam's tears.
"Tucker what are you doing here?" Sam asked.
He pointed to his camera and said, "Recording the memories, obviously."
"Obviously," Sam said like it was supposed to be a well known fact.
"So when's the wedding?" Tucker jokingly asked.
Danny and Sam looked at each other. "October 31st," Sam replied. Danny nodded in agreement.
"I didn't realize you guys had already set a date, so it was more of a rhetorical question."
"Tucker, we've known when Sam's wanted to have her wedding for years. Halloween was always going to be it." Danny said matter-of-factly.
"Obviously," Tucker said mimicking Sam.
Sam punched him lightly in the shoulder. "You think Jazz would help me plan my wedding?" she asked.
"Of course, you're marrying her little brother. If you don't make her maid of honour she might have a hernia."
"She's one of my three or four female friends and my fiancées sister. Of course she's my maid of honour. I have to go call her! Wait is she at home right now? I'm going to drive over right away."
"We'll all go over and surprise her. Tucker, I forgot to as earlier but you're my best man right?"
Tucker gave him a look that said 'Is that even a real question?'
"Wait, we can't just go over there to ask her, I have to get her a gift to ask, it's just common courtesy, even if she would be excited to do it. We have to stop by the jewellery store. Tucker does she wear any jewellery already?"
"Uh, yea she wears a ring and a necklace, they're both silver..."
"Okay, I'll go for a bracelet then, come on we're burning daylight, I have a gift to buy!"
"Is she going to be like this until the wedding day?" Tucker whispered to Danny.
"Yes."
And here we have the Marriage Proposal! It doesn't have a fancy title, because I'm too tired to think of it. The next one will be up soon, I promise, I already have two more finished. You might even get a second one today! Maybe.
