"Really? I mean, I knew you would" Maybeck said, grinning while wrapping his arms around Charlene's small figure.
"Just got the letter today" she smiled "I can't believe it! Everything's working out the way we planned."
Maybeck blushed; 'we planned' ran through his head over and over again. He couldn't explain why it made him so happy. "Yeah" he sighed. The last year had been good to them as a couple.
"Donnie, I do believe I heard a hint of remorse in that manly voice of yours" Charlene teased.
Maybeck gave a look of shock at Charlene calling him by his actual name.
"Yeah, I went there" she giggled "you alright?"
"I'm great" he said, truly meaning it. "You're on the squad and I'm on the team, why wouldn't I be alright?"
"No reason" Charlene shrugged "I know who I'll be cheering for" she winked.
…..
So this is serious one of my favorite things I've ever written!
"Finn, you have to stand still" Amanda exasperated as she told him that for what seemed like the millionth time.
"Sorry, but can you blame me? This thing is itchy" he apologized.
Amanda giggled along with Wanda, who was attempting to fix Finn's graduation gown.
"How'd they get yours to be so long?" Wanda asked "What good is it to measure you if they give you a gown WAY too big?"
"I don't know" Finn rolled his eyes, frustrated with the fact that he was spending his free Saturday standing on a chair getting his stupid gown fixed instead of taking Amanda somewhere.
"I didn't know you could sew mom" Amanda said.
"I can't, but your Grandpa does" Wanda grinned.
"No way" Finn said, as his body moved, much to Amanda's dismay.
"Finn!"
"Sorry" he blushed.
"I still don't understand how their measurements could be so off, I mean, you're a lot shorter than this!" Wanda said.
"Thanks" Finn replied, not in the least bit amused. It was true, he had been a lot shorter than the gown but he wasn't really short. Unless some people consider 5' 9" short, which Finn didn't since he was still taller than Amanda.
"For the last time Finn, stop moving! You're going to get poked with a needle" Amanda giggled.
"My phone's vibrating" he said "hello?" he answered.
"Where are you?" a frustrated Maybeck said.
Finn grinned "I believe the proper, grammatically correct way to answer the phone is 'hello'" he said, sending Amanda into hysterics. (if you didn't read the sequel, you wouldn't understand why this is funny)
"How'd you…?"
"Philby told me" Finn answered, still grinning.
"Ugh…anyway! Where are you?"
"Amanda's."
"Ok, see you in a minute" Maybeck said, hanging up.
"What was that about?" Amanda asked. Finn simply shrugged, not really knowing how to answer.
2 minutes later…
*Knock Knock*
"It's probably Maybeck, he's looking for me" Finn said as Amanda went to answer the door.
"Hey Mayb…AHAHA!"
"What's going on Amanda?" Finn asked, as he strained his neck to see what was the cause of her laughter. Finn soon found out when Maybeck raced into the room.
"Explains a lot doesn't it?" Amanda said through her giggles.
'It sure did', Finn thought, for Maybeck had come in wearing his graduation gown, although the length was above his knees.
"I think you have something of mine Whittman" Maybeck said, trying to keep a straight face, but it was a hard task between Amanda's laughing and Finn's priceless face.
"Now that would make more sense" Wanda said, taking in Maybeck's 6' 5" height.
…
"Wow…it's beautiful" Charlene whispered.
"Yeah" Willa said, smiling.
"Philby's gonna be so thrilled!" Charlene exclaimed.
"I know!" Willa said as she and Charlene started jumping up and down.
"Let's go tell him" Charlene said, almost at the door.
"No" Willa replied.
Charlene stopped dead in her tracks. "What?"
"I think I'll surprise him" Willa grinned.
Charlene shook her head and giggled "Whatever you say."
"Come on, let's go tell my mom" Willa said as the two girls skipped merrily along to show Mrs. Angelo the letter from Stanford.
