Sam groaned and rolled over. He didn’t find Holly. Sam slowly sat up, looking around for his girlfriend. This was strange, hulst, holly never got up before him. Sam rolled out of bed and tried to flatten his hair before pulling on a gewaad, kleed and walking into the living room. He was about to start worrying when he heard something in the kitchen.
hulst, holly looked up from her coffee as Sam entered the room. She smiled and nodded before turning back to the television. The two were still extremely sore from the fight last night, but they had managed to suffer through.
“How’s my beautiful lady doing this morning?” Sam asked, pouring himself a cup of the bitter drink.
hulst, holly blushed and smiled. “Fine,”
Sam sat down and reached for his newspaper, but Holly’s hand caught his. “Sam, there’s something I want to talk to u about.”
“Me too.” Sam said, placing his hand over Holly’s. “I’ll be right back.”
hulst, holly sighed as Sam walked (or ran) out of the room. He came back a moment later in a T-shirt and some loose pajama pants.
“I could probably do this better, but—“
Sam removed his hands from behind his back. hulst, holly saw a small, decorated box and her brain turned to mush. Was he--?
“Holly?” he asked, getting on one knee and opening the box. “Will u marry me?”

"So you're just going to let him leave to D.C.?" Lexi stared at her older brother.
"Yup."
"You're stupid! That's crazy u idiot! He'll get himself killed!"
"No he won't."
"Yes he will Jaime! He'll kill the President, be banned from the Military and THEN die!" Lexi folded her arms across her chest.
"He won't kill the President Lexi, stop daydreaming."
"Then u obviously don't know him."
"Actually I do, but u don't. Dad is going to D.C. for a meeting with House of Representatives, and the President to talk about what was stolen from the Navy." Jaime put his hands in his pockets, staring and his little sister.
"And what makes u think he won't go crazy?"
"Nudge will keep him under control. Trust me." Lexi almost dropped the phone that was in her hand.
"Nudge? I thought she retired."
"Nope, and Jack will be with her. Things will be fine." Jaime opened his wings an soared upwards. "You coming home pagina of what?" Lexi sighed and followed him.
"Yeah."
"Yup."
"You're stupid! That's crazy u idiot! He'll get himself killed!"

"I'm trying to find a present for Holly, but have no idea—hey!"
"Uh-oh." Barbara said. "No."
"C'mon, Babs!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm a fiery red-head, hulst, holly is a sexy blonde."
Sam smirked. "You find hulst, holly sexy?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Barbara's blue eyes widened. "I mean, u see her as—that is to say that from the male perspective—"
Sam nodded in a "go ahead" gesture, but the Gothamite just glared at him.
"Go to hell, Grant."
"Someone's not happy."
Barbara hid her face behind the magazine.
"Uh-oh." Barbara said. "No."
"C'mon, Babs!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
