Wally and Willow
Willow sat up on the mountain, looking at the stars. There were so many. So many places her parents could be. She wondered where they were, why they had given her up. A sound made her turn her head. She smiled with relief when she saw who it was.
“Wally.”
“Hey. You wanna go to dinner?”
She nodded.
“Sure. Sounds like fun.”
Wally smiled and Willow saw the devious glint in his eye. She took his hand and he led her to the back of the mountain.
“I thought we were going to dinner?” she asked.
“We are.”
Willow gave him a strange look but her face turned to one of surprise. The backyard was done up with a single table. On the table was an elgeant setting for two people, roses in the middle. Robin stood by the table, dressed in a tux (minus the jacket) and smiling.
“Madam,” he said, pulling out Willow's chair.
Willow sat down, stunned. The trees had been strung with white lights, lanterns hanging from the branches. Becca showed up, dressed in a short purple dress with a small white apron over the skirt. She too smiled.
“Good evening. We will be your servers this evening.”
She gave Wally a small menu, winking as she gave Willow hers. She went somewhere with Robin for a few minutes. Willow turned to her boyfriend, who had moved the flowers.
“Did you do all this?” she asked.
“yeah. You seemed a little down so I wanted to cheer you up.”
'how did you get Becca to do this?”
“Actually, she wanted to. In fact, she had to convince Robin.”
At that moment, they were interrupted as Robin came to ask what they wanted. Wally ordered Poutine for the both of them. They ate their food slowly, Wally causing Willow to laugh several times. After dinner, Becca brought out a little portable CD player. Perfect Two by Auburn began to play and Wally stood.
“May I have this dance?”
Willow smiled and took his hand. He led her to a clear spot, holding her close. As the song played, he began to sing the lyrics to her softly. Willow listened, humming softly with the song. She closed her eyes as they danced.
“I love you,” she whispered.
“I love you too, my little flower.”
Willow smiled and Wally pulled away long enough to kiss her with all the love deep within.
