Vickie urges everyone to go on to the Private Dinner Party---but, she has a few things to do.
Vickie: I just need to put away signs, get the lights, lock the doors, set the security...I'll be along in a few minutes.
 |

Lara: We can stay and help.
Vickie: No---you go on, I'll be there in 10 minutes.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Barbara: If you are sure....!
Vickie: Don't forget we've made this a safe neighborhood now.
(Everyone leaves...and Vickie pulls the signs into the empty store.)
 |

It's really the first time she's been alone in days, and days, and...so alone. All the fear and excitement have finally come to a peak. And, tears roll down her cheeks as she reaches
to pack Joe's roses in the box.
Vickie: (Sniff. Sniff, sniff....) Darn him, everything was perfect....except...sniff...these roses...Joe...sniff. Sniff.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
...Darn him anyway, Joe...sob, sniff. (hiccup)

Vickie sees a shadow move across the floor out of her bleary eyes.
 |

She grabs the pitcher, the flowers go flying. Spinning around---she bonks the intruder on the head,
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
..uppercuts him in the chin, and knees him a good one!
Owwwww!.....
Ooohhhhh,....
GR000annnnn!
He falls to the floor.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Whipping around Vickie grabs the party sign--while the motion detector
emergency lights come on----!
Joe: Vickie, STOP! I GIVE UP!
Vickie: (sobbing) JOE! ....what are you doing----you scared the life out of me. I almost tried to...
Joe: You tried, and almost killed me. I'm going to have to take you in for assaulting a Police officer. Groan....!(he rolls on his side)
Vickie: Take me in---please, but, first, KISS ME!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Grappling on the floor---they have one of the longest ever---blogland kisses!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
In the shop wreckage, they try to talk.
Vickie: Joe, why didn't you call?
Joe: I couldn't. The case closed this afternoon, and I had to turn in my undercover gear. I haven't been back to my apartment yet to pick up my phone.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Joe: I did make one stop though. Vickie, let me get up.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Vickie: No, Never! I want you to hold me here forever.
(Joe struggles out from under her, and staggers to his knees, while picking up the spilled flowers, he reaches in his pocket.)
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Joe: Well, forever is a long time...
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
...But, I can't spend one more day alone---without you by my side. Vickie, WILL YOU PLEASE, marry me?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
(Silence...she stares at the flowers, then the ring, then his face.)
Vickie: Oh, Joe, marry?----yes, YES, forever and ever!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
She crashes into him...more grappling on the floor.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Sometime later---they pack up some of the mess
---and she places her hand in his.
Their ring, their engagement,
a perfect fit.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Now that's a Private Party!
Will life ever be normal, again?
Normal is highly overrated.

What a sweet ending to that party! I think that ring will do nicely to cover the pain of the bumps and bruises. CongraTS to Joe and Vickie. :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL...I love that---it's his fault he made her take self-defense classes. Sneaking up on her!
