We arrive at a local Bar and Grill and sit down. We consists of myself, Rahne, Alex, Jubilee, Scott, Kurt, Jean, Piotr, Kitty, Amara, Bobby, Ray, Roberto, Sam and Rogue. I didn't really want many people to come out to celebrate, but Rahne did. I figured that I should go along with what she wants, though.
We all get a bunch of tables together and order our beverages and a large thing of mozzarella-sticks. That stuff isn't important, though. The important part is that I'm with my fiancé. WOW! She's actually my fiancé! That word seems to foreign! I can't help but smile from ear to ear. By the looks of it, nobody else can help smiling. Even Bobby, who always picked on me, looks thrilled. He's actually the one who breaks the silence.
"What's with the silence, guys? These two just got engaged! Let's celebrate!" he says, just before making an ice rose and handing it to Rahne. "I'll pay for whatever the two of you order. Get whatever you want."
I'm pretty shocked. I always thought that he hated me! Why is he buying me dinner? Who cares? It's free food! Anyway, a a very muscular waiter walks up to the table.
"Did I just hear that someone got engaged?" he asks.
"Yeah." I say. "My self and this amazing woman." I kiss Rahne's cheek.
"Congrats! Look: I'm pretty tight with the manager and so I bet that I can get you some free dessert or somethin'. What do you think?"
I look at Rahne and she says "That would be very lovely, mister…"
"Guido. Guido Carosella. My co-workers call me Strong Guy, though."
I laugh a little and see him roll his eyes and smirk, kindly. "Sorry. Thanks, Guido." I say.
Guido smiles, nods, and says "No problem, guys. If you need anything, call on me. The other guy had to leave early and so I'm taking his tables for the rest of the night. By the way! I'll be out with your cheese and drinks in a couple minutes." He, then, heads to the kitchen.
"That was really nice of him." I say, and everyone nods.
"So, um, any ideas for when the wedding should be?" Scott asks.
I shrug and Rahne says "November tenth of next year. That gives us plenty of time to get things prepared."
My eyes get wide. "You want it to be on my mom and dad's anniversary?
She nods and kisses me on the cheek. I give her a hug and a tear comes to my eye. "I love you, so much." I say.
"I love you, too." Guido says as he walks up with the cheese and beverages. "Okay, so, who got what?" he asks. We all tell him which beverage we got and he hands them to us. "Have you guys decided on your main course?"
We all look around at each other and mumble that we don't need anything else. I look up at Guido and say "I guess that this is good, for now."
"Okay, well, I talked to boss and he said that the two who just got engaged will eat for free, tonight. I'm guessing that the cheese is gonna' be shared between everyone so I'll just put that on their ticket. I'll be hangin'out until more customers come in, so you know where I am if you need me." He says.
"Just sit with us, Guido." I say.
"I can't. The boss has a policy that says that we can't hang out with customers while we're clocked in. Maybe some other time." He says and then walks away.
Before we start drinking, Piotr taps a fork on his beer bottle, stands up, and says "I propose a toast. To Jamie and Rahne! May they have a great life together!"
Everyone raises their glasses and then drinks. Everyone, aside from myself and Rahne, does a toast. Some are cute, others are semi-humorous. It's not long before everyone is done with their cheese and beverages. We decide not to take Guido up on the idea of dessert, though. He gives everyone their checks and we pay him. I actually leave a hefty tip, for him.
Not even an hour later, we're back at the mansion. When we get there: we all say our good nights, except for Rahne and I. We head to the back yard and stare at the stars. Well, she stares at the stars. I'm too busy staring at her. She's so amazingly gorgeous.
"How did a hopeless schmuck, like me, ever end up with an angel, like you?" I ask.
"Dumb luck." She says, turning her attention toward me.
"I guess so."
I'm Jamie Madrox and I'm engaged to a werewolf.
THE END?
