Photo Story: The Spy...and Three Little Words
December 15, 2006
*Madison and Shelby are sitting together, as friends do*
*But, unbeknownst to them, they are being watched from a distance...*
???: That's her, I know it...the Royal Princess! After all these months, I've finally found her! She is sitting over there with a red-haired human girl. But...I need to be sure it's her...
???: Oh, it's her for sure! She is wearing the Royal Talisman and she has her cat...there's no mistaking it!
???: *ducks down out of sight* And Sebastian didn't think I'd be able to find her, that troll...ha! I did better than he did, I can't wait to rub this in his face. *stifles giggle* I wonder what she is doing in an ordinary place like this? I wish I could go talk to her, but no...Sebastian will slay me...I need to go tell him I found her, he'll want to know right away. I'll get to talk to her soon enough. *Reluctanly, silently, skillfully, she sneaks away unseen*
Shelby: Are you okay, Madison? You seem distracted all of a sudden?
Madison: I got a funny feeling, as if someone I know, but haven't seen in a while, is nearby...but that's impossible...
Shelby: I don't understand...there's lots of people you know nearby...
Madison: Oh...nevermind. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. The feeling has passed. Now, what were telling me about Toby?
Shelby: Oh, I tried to talk to Toby like you suggested, and he did say he had a lot on his mind but didn't say what. I'm not really worried anymore, but I just hope he's okay. He still seems a bit distant.
Madison: I'm sure it's nothing. When he's ready, he'll tell you.
Shelby: Yeah, that's what he said.
Madison: Speaking of Toby...
Shelby: Huh?
*Toby approaches*
Toby: Shelby! I really need to talk to you...now...alone. Please, it's important. Oh, uh, sorry Madison...I hope you don't mind.
Madison: Not at all. Go on, Shelby, I'll talk to you later.
*Toby takes Shelby by the hand and they leave*
Madison: *sigh* Those two... *smiles knowingly to herself*
*After Toby has pulled Shelby off for some distance...*
Shelby: *out of breath* Toby, what is going on? Is everything okay?
Toby: Remember when you said I could tell you anything? Well, I really need to tell you something...now...before I explode.
Shelby: *slightly worried* Okay...
Toby: But first...
*Toby suddenly embraces Shelby and gives her a long passionate kiss*
Shelby: *slightly breathless* Oh my! What was that all about? Not that I'm complaining, but you don't usually act like this...
Toby: That was part of what I needed to tell you, but there's more.
Shelby: There's more?
Toby: Yes...Shelby, I need you to know... *deep breath* ...I love you.
Shelby: *speechless*
Toby: Please say something.
Shelby: Wait...this is what's been bothering you all this time?
Toby: *rambles long* Yes! I've wanted to tell you for so long, but I wasn't sure it was the right thing to say or if it was how I really felt, but I've thought about this for a long time...probably too long. I know now it's love...real love...I just can't tell you in any other way how much you mean to me...I'm sorry I've been acting so strange lately, but it's only because I didn't know how to tell you or how you would react or if you even loved me back but I had to tell you before I went crazy...
Shelby: *places her hand over his mouth to stop his rambling* Toby, shush. There's something I need to tell you...I love you, too.
Toby: You do? I mean you really do love me?
Shelby: Of course. *getting slightly emotional* You're the best thing that has ever happened to me.
*Much hugging, kissing, and etc. etc. follows...you get the point*
