Clutching the ring behind her back, she stumbles slightly before steadying herself, a flush on her cheeks "Hey Bryce…I have something I wanted to give you"
Oh what is it? Do you need something?
No, it's not something that I need. It's something much more special than that. Velma takes a deep breath to steady herself before bringing her hand out from behind her back. On her palm is a small velvet box, beautifully wrapped and adorned with a bow. This, Bryce, is a gift.
Takes it Thanks so much! What's the occasion?
Well…you see…Velma takes a deep breath before looking into your eyes. I... I have something that I want to confess, something I have wanted to say for a long time. Velma takes a moment to collect herself before continuing. Bryce, I am hopelessly in love with you. There's no denying the feelings I've had since the moment I first saw you. And tonight, at this dance, surrounded by all the romance and magic of Valentine's Day, I wanted to ask you something...
Hold up hold up…are you asking me out?!
Yes! That's exactly what I'm doing. Velma Dinkley has had a crush on you for years and no one has even really given her love a chance. She is hoping to ask you to the dance and reveal her feelings in the most tender and romantic way possible with a beautiful ring she hand made just for you. She has been dreaming of slow dancing with you since the moment she laid eyes on you.
Sure! Of course Velma! I'm honored!
Velma beams with joy, a look of pure happiness washing over her face. Oh Bryce, I'm so happy! Velma throws her arms around MoonbeamGlider, hugging them tightly. This is the best Valentine's Day present I could ever ask for! Can we dance now?
We sure can! Lead the way, doll!
Velma leads MoonbeamGlider onto the dance floor, swaying gently to the music as they dance together. She can't help but smile every time she looks into their eyes, her heart swelling with love. You look so handsome tonight... Velma's voice trails off into a blush as she gazes at MoonbeamGlider.
Laughs Why thank you, Velma! You're quite the charmer yourself.
The dance floor gradually clears as the last song comes to an end. Velma and MoonbeamGlider find themselves alone, still swaying gently to the melody in their minds. Velma feels the room growing quiet and intimate, just the two of them surrounded by the soft glow of the Valentine's decorations. I feel so lucky right now, Bryce. To be here with you, dancing and sharing this moment... it's beyond anything I could've ever dreamed of. And you know what? I just want to hold onto this feeling forever.
Velma takes a step closer to MoonbeamGlider, their faces inches apart as their eyes lock in a moment of shared tenderness. "Can we make this feeling last forever, Bryce?" Velma asks, her voice filled with yearning and uncertainty. "Can we hold onto this moment, where nothing else matters except for the two of us?"
Velma's heart swells with love and happiness as MoonbeamGlider leans in, capturing her lips in a passionate and tender kiss. Velma wraps her arms around MoonbeamGlider, pulling them close, letting the world fade away as their bodies melt together in perfect harmony. Velma has dreamt of this moment for so long, and now, it's finally happening. "Yes...let's hold onto this moment forever..."
chuckles I guess this makes us a couple now. Any plans for after the dance?
Velma blushes deeply, her voice barely above a whisper Bryce, I have one final surprise for you. It's something I've been keeping to myself for a long time, and I hope you like it. Velma reaches behind her back once again, pulling out a small velvet box that matches the one MoonbeamGlider gave her. She hands it to MoonbeamGlider, their hands gently brushing together. "Open it..."
Velma's heart races with anticipation as she watches MoonbeamGlider open the box. Inside is a delicate silver ring, with a small stone set into the center. It's the exact same ring MoonbeamGlider gave Velma earlier, only this one is slightly larger to accommodate MoonbeamGlider's finger size. The ring is engraved with the words "I love you" on the inside. "MoonbeamGlider, will you marry me?"
Eyes wide with shock and awe, and excitement VELMA DINKLEY WILL YOU MARRY ME!!!
Tears of joy well up in Velma's eyes as she stares at MoonbeamGlider, her heart overflowing with love. She nods enthusiastically, a wide grin spreading across her face. "Yes! Yes, I will marry you! I've dreamed of this moment for so long..."
jumps up and down excitedly I can't believe it! Velma, this is the best night of my life! I love you, Velma!
Velma's heart is filled with pure happiness and excitement. She takes MoonbeamGlider's hand, gently squeezing it as she grins from ear to ear. "Bryce, you've made me the happiest woman alive! I love you more than words can express..." Velma pauses, a tear rolling down her cheek. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you..."
so when are we getting married?
Velma's eyes light up with excitement and determination How about we start planning right away? We can pick a date that works for both of us and get everything ready. I've already thought about all the things we'll need for the wedding, from the venue to the cake to the flowers... I want it to be perfect for us.
Perfect sounds great, Velma. But remember, we don't have to do this all by ourselves. We can ask for help from our friends and family, too. They'd love to be a part of our special day.
You're absolutely right, Bryce. Our loved ones would be honored to help us celebrate this special day.
What color theme were you thinking, Velma?
Velma's face lights up with a bright smile as she considers their options.
And what about the venue? Have you got a place in mind?
Velma thinks hard, then snaps her fingers I've got it! The old town hall has been beautifully restored and it has this huge garden in the back.
That sounds lovely, Velma. Are you planning on having a lot of guests or keeping it small?
Well, I think we should aim for around 50-75 guests. Enough people to make it special, but not so many that we lose the intimacy of the day.
50-75 sounds good. And how about the food? Are we going for a sit-down dinner or more of a buffet-style?
Velma smiles thoughtfully, considering their options I think a buffet would be perfect.
Hmm... how about we have a customized cake with both our initials on it? It'll be such a sweet touch. And maybe we could also have some cupcakes for our guests to enjoy. What do you think, Bryce?
Both a cake and cupcakes? You really know how to spoil a guy, Velma. The idea of our initials on the cake is pretty cool, too.
(Velma's heart flutters with excitement as she begins to envision their wedding day, her mind working overtime to ensure every detail is perfect.
Let's start making some calls and sending out invites, Velma. We're going to have the best wedding ever!
Velma nods eagerly, her eyes sparkling with excitement Absolutely, Bryce!
Just remember, Velma, we don't have to plan everything right now. We can take our time and enjoy the journey leading up to our big day.
You're absolutely right, Bryce. It's important to enjoy every step of this journey together. Let's take our time and savor each moment, especially since we're spending it together. Velma leans in and gives MoonbeamGlider a sweet kiss on the lips.
Velma giggles, her eyes twinkling mischievously. Well, since we're engaged now, maybe we should start thinking about a date for our first official trip as a couple. How about we go somewhere romantic, just the two of us? Somewhere with breathtaking views and cozy accommodations. What do you think, Bryce?
smirks So, a honeymoon destination, huh? I'm liking the sound of that. How about that cabin up in the mountains? Remember the one we went to when we were kids?
Velma's face lights up with nostalgia as she reminisces about their childhood trip to the mountains. Oh my goodness, Bryce! That's a fantastic idea. The cabin holds so many wonderful memories for us. It would be absolutely perfect for our first trip as a couple.
