Ben's Note of Something: Hey guys, I have a little question for you. What's your opinion on M rated fics? I personally avoid them like the plague, but even I can admit there are some good ones out there. I avoid most of it though because they're mainly either lemons or full of murderous depression, but a few lack both which I quite enjoy. I'm just wondering how you feel about them. Anyway, enough of my cheese. Here's the next chapter.
Prompt 90: Answer
Everything that happened over the last day suddenly made sense to Kitty.
Neb's ominous engagement to Lizzie.
Slender's random need to give her permission for something.
Maddie's box of tissues. (Which Kitty made a mental note of pulling out later.)
All Kitty could do was stare down at Alistair. This… was really happening. Kitty couldn't say she didn't see it coming. She was, after all, the one who suggested it in the first place. But the fact that Alistair was here, on his knees, asking Kitty to marry him… she was shocked.
I… I love Alistair, Kitty thought. And I know I said when I was eighteen we could get married… but are we really ready? I mean… I killed Neb two months ago. Is he really ready to commit to me, even though I'm probably one of the most dangerous people in the world?
He still loves you.
Dark Kitty?!
Nope. Consider me… someone who wants to wrap up lose ends.
Neb?
Hmph. Don't associate me with him. No, I go by a different name. But we are not here to discuss names, are we?
Right…
Alistair loves you, correct? Evil or not, you are valuable to him. He does not care what 'you' have done in the past. All he cares about is you. If he's willing to set aside everything to be with you… take it.
But Dark Kitty…
Is deep inside your subconscious. She won't wake up for a long time, at least not within you. You won't have to worry about her using you again.
…Thanks. Whoever you are… you really helped me make a decision.
Just remember: when I come calling for a favor, and I will come calling for a favor, I expect you to cash it in.
Considering how much of a big decision you helped me make… a favors nothing.
Kitty returned to normal time. Alistair continued to faithfully wait for her answer. Kitty couldn't help but smile as a few tears exited her eyes. Seeing Alistair like that… Kitty could only answer one thing.
"Yes!"
"Finally. I thought the suspense was going on far too long," Neb grumbled, appearing from the bushes. Kitty and Alistair ignored him as Kitty leaped onto her boyfriend with a hug and tackle. Neb watched and shook his head. "Geez, someone proposes marriage and you forget who the best man is."
Alistair paused and looked at Kitty. "Best man?" Alistair asked.
"Hehehe… um… so remember when Neb smashed my locket but then revealed he didn't smash it?" Kitty said awkwardly. "Well… I kind of promised him he could be the best man if we got married…"
"I also think that automatically means I'm the speaker," Neb chuckled. "Unless you make it like me and Liz and have two speakers. I know you're speaking Kitty, and I would have Alistair speak too, but… I have someone else in mind for my speaker."
"Trust me when I say I don't take it personally," Alistair chuckled. "Alright, best man, check. What else?"
"Lots of technical crap I don't want to cover in this chapter," Neb said simply. "Although, if you're looking for a dress… I might have a fiancé who wants to make you one… maybe."
Kitty rolled her eyes. "What do you want Neb?" she asked him, too happy to care.
"I want half the wedding cake," Neb said.
"Deal," Alistair said instantly. Neb fist pumped while Alistair smirked. He whispered into Kitty's ear, "Two cakes?"
"Two cakes," Kitty agreed. She then kissed Alistair, who sunk into it. "Best. Birthday. Ever."
Meanwhile, Neb was still smirking to himself. "Score. Half a cake. I'm so proud of myself," he chuckled. Without warning, someone slammed into him, sending him to the ground. "Pride gone," he groaned.
"Sorry for the tree yaks!" Maddie giggled, helping Neb to his feet. "So, she say yes?"
"No, she denied ever knowing Alistair and shot him in the face," Neb smirked.
Maddie gasped… only to catch Neb's sarcasm and punch him in the arm. "That's not very nice of you to say!" Maddie pouted.
"I'm not a very nice person," Neb said flatly, rubbing his arm. "Hey… I have a question for you."
"I have an answer that may or may not be related to honey!" Maddie giggled.
"Honey. That could be a good name… I like that," Neb nodded, making a mental note for a completely different fanfic series he was writing. "Anyway, I was wondering… could you… be my speaker at my wedding?"
Maddie gasped… only to smirk. "Of course I will silly!" Maddie giggled. "We're best friends! Why wouldn't I speak at your wedding? Hey, can I ask you a question?"
Neb shrugged. "Sure."
"Who was that voice early this chapter?"
"What voice?"
"You know, the one talking to Kitty. It wasn't Dark Kitty, and it wasn't you… so who was it?"
"Maddie, I wrote this chapter. There was no voice. Kitty had an interpersonal dialogue with herself. That was it."
Maddie cocked her head, then shrugged. "I must have imagined it then!" Maddie giggled. "Silly old me!"
BN: And boom! Kittystair is now not only a couple, but its official! Marriage is the stamp of eternity people! Sure, they aren't married yet, but they're engaged! WOOHOO! I've been waiting forever for this! YEAH! And let the fangirling commence! *goes deaf* Yeah… that was a bad idea… anyway, so Kitty accepted Alistair's proposal of marriage… yeah. Yay for that! Also, Maddie is Neb's speaker at his wedding. I mean, come on. Who else would Neb ask? Other than Lizzie, Maddie's the closest person Neb has. So, with another chapter done, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day/night, depending on your time zone!
