Hey guys, glad to know that you all are still reading. I really didn't want to discontinue the story but, if no one was going to read it, why bother right?
Anyways, thanks for letting me know that you guys are still reading. You can see the ring if you want, go to the Tiffany website, then search for Shared-setting band ring, and click on the one with the sapphires and diamonds. I know it says "wedding band" on it, but hey, how much jewelry does Beckett actually wear? I mean, did you really expect me to give her some big honkin' diamond? I don't think Kate would wear it, do you?

CaskettFanGrl - I like to think that me, my best friend, and my four nephews (all of which make up our band) rock pretty hard. But that's just me. Our band name is Action Pact. You know, like a pact for action. We thought that it suited us.

Thanks for everything guys, you make my day!

Disclaimer: If I owned Castle, I wouldn't be writing this because I have musician's block and can't come up with a decent song, but I would be feasting on caviar and fancy french wine.
To your story...


Chapter 18

Kate just stared at Rick like he had just spoken to her in some sort of a foreign language.
"I'm sorry. What?"

Rick looked like he was going to pass out. "Katherine Beckett, will you marry me."
"Oh my god. I-I don't know what to say." Lanie was bouncing on the balls of her feet in anticipation.
"Yes." Rick supplied.

Kate grabbed his arms and pulled him up, "Get up here you idiot."
Rick's face fell at her words.

After a moment, Kate forcefully grabbed the ring from his hands. "What, do I have to put the ring on myself?" Rick looked confused, "You didn't think I would say no did you?"

Rick nodded in answer to her question. "Hmm...I hadn't noticed."
"So what's the answer?" Rick asked. Kate looked at him like it was obvious what her answer was, "Yes."

Rick tried to pick her up, but Kate stopped him and said, "Remember what happened last time?"
Rick got a look on his face that neither of the women could interpret.

He walked to his office and came back a minute later with a spiral notebook. The women watched as he flipped through the pages until he found what he was looking for.
"Ah. Here we go." He said as he scribbled on the page. he noticed the confused looks on Lanie and Kate's faces. He showed them the page, and pointed to the very last line on it. 50) Get married and make it last.


So, I read Castle's bucket list, and that made me think of my bucket list. I thought you guys might like to know what it says.

1) Get Rainy her CD title
2) Go to Westminster
3) Get a championship title on a dog
4) Win best of show
5) Get a Lemur
6) Invent a new language
7) Become an official dog trainer
8) Get a horse
9) Write a book
10) Publish a book
11) Redecorate my room
12) Go goth
13) Get a tattoo
14) Drop 20 pounds
15) Learn how to swim
16) Don't paint my nails for a year
17) Get rich
18) Read the entire Stephanie Plum - Janet Evanovich - series
19) Read the entire Harry Potter series
20) Don't sleep for 48 hours

And I have effectively crossed off; 11, 12, 13, and 19. I know, I suck at crossing things off a bucket list.
Challenge, I'm not going to post the next chapter until I get 3 reviews with that person's bucket list in it. If you want the next chapter, I must know your bucket list.

I'm looking forward to reading the whims of my readers.
