English Legacy: I Took Your Name (Chapter 6)

* click * be deleted! Please! We don't want to.... bwuh? Wait... we're still here?

"Laurel?"

"Yeah?"

"Uh... we um, still exist. Do you uh, feel any different?"

"Different how? What's up with you? For a moment there you looked like you were going to swap your Bladder and Hygiene bars. And not in a good way. Is something wrong?"

"Um, no... I think... I think things are fine, actually. Say Laurel, I just had a crazy idea!"

"Like, meeting my parents, who are in the next room, now that we're engaged?"
"Crazier than that. Come on, let's go back to my place. I'm not sure how much time we have."

"Okay, sweetheart... but you'd better have an explanation for all this."
* on the drive back to Brian's house *

"Wow, a Legacy challenge? Well, that certainly explains a lot. Do you talk to Him often?"

"Not every day. But then again, I'm not sure how many of my Actions are the result of His intervention, or my own Free Will. I'm not sure I would have Worked Hard each and every single day at work. You haven't spoken to Him?"

"No. I've heard rumors about people who have... they're usually been in a mental hospital, or surrounded by toddlers, or some other strange set of circumstances. Or worse, being forced to basically live outdoors growing their own food or something weird. Some people say their Creators are female."

"Well, here we are, my love. I hate to rush this, but until I find out why we still exist, I think we we should try to earn our keep, so to speak."

"That's fine, Brian. I wouldn't have had this any other way. You and I and our future descendants, that's what matters."
"...and with this ring, I thee wed. Now, kiss the bride."
* sluuuuurrrrrrrrp * * giggles * * murmurs *

"I love you, Laurel, with all my heart and soul."

"And I love you, Brian. More than I could have possibly imagined. Now, I really think we should get started on that whole 'heir-raising scheme'."

"Wait, right now? We've barely gotten you moved in?"

"Yes, now. Don't make me tell you again, Mister English. Let me show you what my sleepwear looks like." *spins*

"Oh wow.... just.... man, I almost hope we don't hear the chimes this time..."
* doo dee dee daaaaa *

"That was incredible, Laurel. I think you've shown me a new art form. Or at least a heavenly body. Think we can do that again?"

"Easy, killer. We need to rest - tomorrow's a busy day. We have to do some work on the house with the money I've added to this household."

"I wore the clothes you wanted
I took your name
If there is some confusion, who's to blame?"
