Quantum Catz: IS: ::is at his house, preparing
a fancy dinner for Maeve; he's asked his siblings for the house
to himself for the evening and he's rather nervous::
YarnKittymon: JH: ::is actually across the street
at a friend's, but he's watching his house through the window;
he has a tiny guess of what's going on, but even now, he's still
afraid that something will come and take Isaac, or Maeve, away,
if they aren't all together::
Quantum Catz: EK: it's taken a while for his
brother to get over what Eli did to the man who tried to kill
him, but he's glad now that Isaac seems to be getting on with
things so he's spying as a bird, circling nearby::
MaggyBeths: DK: ::she's is the only one who
doesn't have the advantage of seeing what's going on since she's
across town at a friend's house. She's rather distracted, and
not much fun at all at her little get together since she's nervous
for her brother::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::Still in her work clothes,
Maeve crosses the street, and climbs up the steps to Isaac's front
door, completely oblivious to anything that might be going on.
She knocks softly::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::answers the door, he's tidied
himself up a bit, though he's not dressed up too smartly, since
he knew Maeve wouldn't bother; he grins when he sees her:: Hey,
how was work?
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she smiles back:: The usual.
It was a slow a day but it seemed to take forever. YarnKittymon: JH: ::relaxes only slightly when
he sees Maeve go into the house, but he still can't take his eyes
off the doorway, though his friend teases him pretty mercilessly::
Quantum Catz: IS: Good thing you've got me to
pamper you this evening then
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she raises an eyebrow, grinning::
Really? Hmm, I don't even hear any other voices...
Quantum Catz: IS: ::smiles:: They're all out
MaggyBeths: MV: ::looks pleasantly impressed::
Wow. Whatever did I do to deserve this? ::she laughs quietly::
Quantum Catz: IS: Quite a lot really, especially
after everything that happened with me
MaggyBeths: MV: ::the smiles fades a bit; quietly::
Oh. Well, in my way of thinking I was already rewarded for any
part I played in that.
Quantum Catz: IS: Yeah but I...I'm just glad
you...you're here ::Smiles:: Anyway, come on, i made dinner for
us
Quantum Catz: : ::the dining room table has been
set up with two candles sitting in the centre, it's obvious that
Isaac's gone to quite a bit of effort::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::her eyes widen, and they
grow even bigger when she sees the set up:: Wow. I'm impressed.
::she glances toward the kitcen; jokingly:: Are you sure you don't
have Dolly hidden away in there?
Quantum Catz: IS: ::laughs:: Well i maybe asked
her for a few tips but i promise it was all my own work
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she smiles, and takes a seat.::
Looks like you've worked harder today than I have.
Quantum Catz: IS: It was kind of relaxing, and
no one really needed my help today which made it even better
MaggyBeths: MV. That's good. Guess you've probably
managed to heal the entire town of Marquis and then some these
past few years.
Quantum Catz: IS: I'm sure there must be someone
around who keeps themself out of trouble
MaggyBeths: MV: Yes, but where is the fun in
that?
Quantum Catz: IS: ::laughs:: I guess it could
be relaxing occasionally
MaggyBeths: MV: Only if occasionally means
there's a small lag inbetween adventures... then I'm okay with
that.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::smiles:: I have wine to go
with the food, would you like some?
MaggyBeths: MV: ::smiles back:: Um, sure.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::goes to get the wine and
pours them both a glass::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she bites her lip as she
glances around the table, thinking this is more than a little
fancy. She self-consciously smooths out the wrinkles in her blue
dress::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::feels rather nervous too
and quickly goes off to serve the food::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she takes a bite of her freshly
prepared salad:: I can't believe you went to all this trouble.
It's wonderful though. ::she smiles at him::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::smiles at her:: I'm glad
you like it
MaggyBeths: MV: Of course I do. Were you afraid
I wouldn't? ::she smiles teasingly, suddenly thinking that was
what he was so nervous about::
Quantum Catz: IS: I just want you to have a good
night tonight
MaggyBeths: MV: I'm with you so the only thing
that could possibly top *that* off is if there is a chocolate
cake back there.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::the rest of the meal goes
well, as far as Isaac's concerned, and for dessert, he does in
fact have chocolate cake - he knew that with Maeve as his girlfriend,
no fancy meal would be complete without it::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she grins when he comes out
with it.:: I knew I could count on you.
Quantum Catz: IS: ::laughs:: I think i know you
well enough by now to know i couldn't get away with not brining
you chocolate
MaggyBeths: MV: ::grins even more:: Well, I'd
hope so. ::she looks around for the knife to cut it with, more
than ready to dig in::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::watches her, smiling; he
looks like he wants to say something, but he's not sure how, and
he's rather nervous::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she gets her piece, takes
a bite, and looks up, but is rather caught off guard by him watching
her. Her eyes dart around nervously, then after a few seconds
she swallows:: Is there already some chocolate on my face?
Quantum Catz: IS: ::laughs:: No, i was just thinking
how beautiful you were...and how lucky i am...
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she smiles, and looks away
for a moment:: Thank you. I think I'm pretty lucky too. This chocolate
is awesome. ::she smiles teasingly, since it's not really the
chocolate she's referring to::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::smiles back:: Maeve, I...I
wanted to...say...I mean to ask...
MaggyBeths: MV: Ask what?
Quantum Catz: IS: ::for what seems like an eternity
to him, Isaac hesitates, the words frozen in his mouth, and then
he gets up and goes to kneel next to Maeve, smiling up at her::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::her jaw drops at the same
moment her fork clatters onto her plate. Wide eyes stare back
at him, and while she isn't poised to run, she's still rather
frozen in time::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::feeling horribly nervous::
Maeve...you are the most amazing woman I've ever met. I wanted
to meet you from the moment I saw your picture and knowing you
has made me happier than I ever thought I could be ::takes a deep
breath and pulls a small ring box from
his pocket, opening it to reveal a beautiful engagement ring::
I dont know what i would do if you weren't a part of my life and
i want everyone to know that as much as i hope you already do.
Maeve... will you marry me?
MaggyBeths: MV: ::her gaze falls to the ring,
and she swallows hard. Taking a deep breath, she brings her eyes
back up to meet his; whispers:: Yes. ::she looks like she could
say more, even opens her mouth to do so, but nothing comes out.
She laughs nervously::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::grins at her as if he can't
believe it's actually happening:: Really?
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she bites her lip, looking
a litle nervous then quietly adds:: Yes. I'm scared out of my
mind, but I know it's what I want. I don't know what you'd want
with a wife that can't cook because in order to do *this* ::she
points to the food:: I really would need
to hide Dolly in the kitchen!
Quantum Catz: IS: Laughs:: I'm sure i'll manage
to cope somehow ::takes the ring out of its box and reaches for
her hand to slip it on her finger::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she smiles, but her hand
is shaking slightly::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::his hands are shaking slightly
too, but he gets the ring on and then kisses her hand, lightly::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she sucks in another deep
breath and slowly lets it out; softly.:: I think you're suppose
to seal the promise with a real kiss. ::she smiles::
Quantum Catz: IS: ::smiles up at her and then
pulls her head gently down to kiss her::
MaggyBeths: MV: ::she kisses him back, and
this time rests in the knowledge that at least this time she means
it::
