Chapter Forty
Nervous
----------------
"As for the defendant, Nichole Smyser, on the count of kidnapping, how do you find?" The judge asked.
"We find the defendant guilty." Said the forelady.
"As for the count of assault, how do you find?"
"We find the defendant guilty."
"And as for the murder of Ilene and Ken Tsukino, how do you find?"
"We find the defendant guilty."
"As for the defendant, Jarrett Smyser, on the count of attempt rape, how do you find?"
"We find the defendant guilty."
"As for the count of kidnapping, how do you find?"
"We find the defendant guilty."
"As for two counts of attempted murder?"
"We find the defendant guilty on both counts."
"And as for the defendant, Conner Smyser, on the sole count of kidnapping, how do you find?"
"We find the defendant guilty."
"Again we want to thank the court for the patience on hearing this case and the unusual speedy situation." The judge said before slamming her gavel on the desk. "All are dismissed."
"Finally." Serena sighed.
"What's wrong?" Asked Darien.
"Nothing, I'm just glad the trials are all over."
"I think we all are. Why don't we go and celebrate?"
"Yah, let's go." She said getting up.
----------------
"I'm glad that the court was able to do this during our midwinter break."
"Yah, I was surprised. I figured we'd either have to wait until summer, or miss a lot of school. But all we missed was today."
"Yah and school is out."
"Where's Andrew?"
"I don't know, not my day to watch him. You could always ask Yella though." Serena laughed.
"I could."
"He's been staying at our house a lot. Coming over everyday after work. On days he doesn't work, he comes over and they go on a date or something."
"Sounds like they're really hitting it off."
"Yah."
"Hey guys, sorry it took me so long." Andrew said as he walked over.
"It's okay." Both Serena and Darien said.
"I'm just nervous."
"Nervous…why?" Serena asked.
"Oh, well, uh. What do you think about me proposing to Yella?"
"That'd be awesome!" Darien said.
"I'm sure she'd be so happy." Serena said. "But don't think I'm going to be calling you Uncle Andrew."
"I wouldn't want you too. You're too much like a little sister."
"Besides, I don't even call my Yella Aunt Yella, just Yella." She laughed.
"That's what I'm nervous about."
"It'll be fine. When you're not at our house, all she does is talk about what she did with you, or something about you."
"I'm flattered." He laughed.
"So when are you planning on proposing?" Darien asked.
"Well, I was wondering if she was coming here with you guys today."
"Yah, she'll be here."
"Then I was planning on asking her to take a walk with me in the park or something."
"Romantic." Serena sighed.
"Or I could always do what Darien did." Andrew joked.
"Hey, I had it planned out. I just forgot that was the coat that the ring was in. Leave me alone."
"But I still loved it. I found it quite amusing." Serena laughed.
"HEY!" Rang nine voices from the door.
"How'd it go?" Raye asked taking a seat.
"Guilty on all counts." Serena said proudly.
"That's so great!" Mina chimed.
"Yah, I'm glad it's finally all over."
"I think we all are." Zac said.
"This year is going so well. My friends are awesome, my fiancée is awesome, and I'm caught up on all the work from last year. All is good." Serena grinned.
"You can say that again." Mina said.
"This year is going so well.-"
"Ha-ha, very funny." Mina said cutting her off.
"Yes I am." Serena laughed.
----------------
"I'm glad that Serena and the girls love to play matchmaker." Andrew laughed.
"Me too. I really do love being with you." Yella said.
"Then I just have one question for you."
"What would that be?"
"Will you marry me?" Andrew said pulling out a box with an elegant ring inside it.
"Oh, Andy, yes, yes, yes, yes." She said hugging him.
He pulled the ring from the box and placed it on her finger.
"I love you."
"I love you too." He said closing the space between them.
----------------
"Like I said, a perfect year." Serena told Darien as they watched Andrew and Yella from a nearby bench.
"You got that right."
A/N: Okay, so that's the end. I realize that it's not the best ending. I'm planning on writing a sequal, but I'm going to write all of it before I upload any of it. Sorry if the ending sucked. Thanks for reading.
