The Engagement Ring

I don't own Saint Tail. This idea just came to me a few days ago, so let me know what you think.

I think it's really romantic and sweet.

Sorry it's so short, but I couldn't think of any way to make it longer.

 

"Where are we going?"

"Can't I take my favourite girl to dinner?"

"I suppose... but why dressed as Saint Tail?"

"Tut tut..." Asuka Jr. said, waving his finger. "No more questions."

Saint Tail clicked her tongue and looked away, across the street to where people were staring.

When they arrived at the romantic restaurant, Asuka Jr. had a very annoying time trying to convince the host that yes, he was with Saint Tail and no, she wasn't going to steal anything from the restaurant.

"Reservation?" She asked, curious, as the host led them to a prepared table. "What are you planning?"

"I just didn't want it to be full when we got here."

"Hmm."

They sat down and started chatting, talking about friends and movies, and, well, anything and everything. The food was excellent, and despite the price of everything, Saint Tail was actually happy that they went out like this. Asuka Jr. was happy to be with her, but nervous as hell because of what he was about to do. Though he was happy that she hadn't noticed all their friends sitting around them. And she hadn't asked any more about the reason for this visit. That was a good thing, because he didn't know how long could keep this a secret if she asked.

In his right jacket pocket he had a $10.000 dollar engagement ring, and if she said no, he didn't know what he'd do.

"Come Saint Tail, dance with me." He said, standing and holding out his hand to her when a familiar song came on. She smiled and took his hand.

A few seconds later they were dancing to the sweet lyrics of Jordan and "Like Magic". Her face was on his shoulder, her eyes closed as he moved with her. This was good, because their friends were all around them, dancing with them. Now came the hard part, Asuka Jr. had to perform his own sleight of hand... getting that ring out of his pocket and onto her finger without her knowledge.

Slowly letting go of her waist with his right hand, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the glittering silver ring. Moving his hand to hers he slipped it onto her gloved finger and then lifted her hand above her head, making her look up. Before she could make sense of what was going on, he spun her around, making her cotton candy skirt flare out, and then pulled her back into a tight embrace. Then she saw it and gasped. A silence went over the restaurant as the dance stopped and she watched in awe as he sank to one knee in front of her.

"Saint Tail, I have loved you since the first time I saw you, and since then I have been living in my own world of your personal magic. You will become the next Houdini, and I want to be right by your side. I want to marry the cutest magician ever, because she has shown me that magic is real. Please Saint Tail, marry me baby."

She jumped into his arms, knocking him off kilter and backwards onto the floor.

"Yes."

 

Seriously, this story is too short. But there is nothing I can do to make it longer. Comment if you have any ideas. Actually, if anyone has an idea for a story, feel free to either e-mail me or comment with the idea.  Also the picture above goes with this story. Hope you like it.
