Ben's Note of Blank Adjectives: …I love you guys. Sorry I haven't updated recently. I've been super sick and I've appreciated you guys so much. I've been having a really bad run of bad cheese lately. A friend of mine on the TD fandom accidentally made me super depressed (he doesn't know though) and I've been sick, and I feel as though I feel like a useless piece of worthless junk. I know I'm not… but I feel like that…

Rainbow Swirl: I'm glad your back. I really did miss your reviews.

KCL: I wish we were siblings. That sounds weird, but I could use your chipper fangirlness on a day to day basis. I'm just so miserable right now…

Prompt 89: Question

Alistair was always fond of questions. They were the foundation of his everyday life. He was always pondering the questions of the universe and secrets of the world. Alistair always knew that he would always look for answers to his questions.

However, as he sat next to Kitty, he was wondering if he wanted to know the answer to one question in particular.

"Well, it took all day, but we're finally together," Kitty sighed. "Alistair… why didn't you answer any of my calls? All I wanted all day was to be with you. Why did you seem to avoid me all day?"

Alistair took a breath. "Well… over the past two months, you have mostly been focused on me," he said to her. "You've neglected your other friends, like Neb and Maddie. I understand why… but I wanted you to talk to them again. I can't just be the only one you talk to."

Kitty sighed, shaking her head. "I know, I know…" she sighed. "But… is it wrong that I love you? Maddie and Neb are great… but… I killed Neb. It hasn't sit right with me ever since and… I feel better with you…"

"I know. And I love that I'm your first choice to help you," Alistair said. "But… you can't just keep isolating yourself from the rest of the world. It's why I set up everything so you could talk to everyone."

Kitty blinked. "Wait… you set this all up? That's… probably the best birthday present ever," Kitty said with a small smile. "Thanks…"

Alistair smiled. "It's what boyfriends like me do for our girlfriends," he said. "Although… that wasn't my birthday present."

Kitty cocked her head. "Wait… if that wasn't your birthday present, then… what is?"

Alistair took a breath. "Well Kitty… we've been dating for a long time. And over these couple of years… they've been the best of my life. We've had our struggles… and I understand that. But we've overcome them together. And we've become a duo."

"We've had our moment of lovey dovey moments," Alistair continued. "We've also had serious moments and emotional moments. But no matter what kind of moment we've had… they've always brought us closer together. I know that we both mean something significant to the other… and that nothing can ever change that."

"Kitty Cheshire… you are the only girl in my heart that I will ever truly love. We've been through cheese and back, as Neb would say. There's nothing you and I can't accomplish without each other, and I know that's true from the deepest part of my soul."

Kitty smiled at him. "Of course Alistair. We're a team," she said.

"And yet," Alistair said. "I feel as though… we're missing something. We both love each other and we both care deeply… but we're missing something vital. A necessary part of our relationship. We both love each other Kitty… but there's something missing."

Kitty's smile faltered. No… he's not… is he… breaking up with me? She thought to herself. "What… what are you saying?" she asked hesitantly.

Alistair took a breath. Just do it, he thought to himself. Alistair reached into his pocket and pulled out a box. He got off the bench and moved in front of Kitty. He fell to one knee and opened the box in front of her. Kitty's hand flew to her mouth, figuring out exactly what her birthday present was right at that moment.

"I promised you a year ago that when we were eighteen that if we still loved each other that I would consider marrying you," Alistair said. "I've never loved you more in my entire life. So Kitty Cheshire… will you, Kitty Cheshire, make it my honor in making you my wife?"

Hiding in the bushes not too far away, Neb smirked. "And that is why I love my job: my fangirls hate me for ending chapters on a cliff hanger," he chuckled.

BN: Oh Neb! What am I going to do with you? Anyway, this chapter… oh what am I kidding?! SURPRISE! I mean, I said that wedding nonsense was nothing, but come on! Since when was I ever subtle? I'm pretty sure I was obvious the entire time. Now, that's not saying it's happening for sure. After all, Kitty hasn't said yes yet, now has she? Guess you'll have to wait till next chapter to find out, now don't you? (Sorry I'm a jerk, but I'm sick and I've stopped caring at this point.)

Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know via review!
