{name:Brian#|#picture:9}Brian hopped out of his car and walked towards his sister. He could tell she was furious he was late. "Hey sis," Brian said giving Briar's hair a ruffle. "How are doing?" grinning, Brian acted as if he didn't know he did anything wrong. He could tell Briar was getting more and more annoyed. The more annoyed Briar got, the better it made Brian feel about all those pranks she used to pull on him!

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}Briar gave Brian a dirty look as she attempted to fix her hair. "What could you possibly call me here for? And be late on top of it?" Briar knew her brother was trying to get a rise out of her, payback for his underlip piercing. "Okay whatever, just why?" Briar crossed her arms and waited for an answer, but not an answer she expected.

{name:Brian#|#picture:9}Brian watched Briar try to fix her hair. It reminded him of Joelle that morning, with her bedhead. That of course reminded him why he was here. “I overslept,” he said as an answer to why he was late. Seeing the look on Briar’s face he knew this was not the answer she wanted most. “I need to buy a ring.” Brian told Briar.

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}"Yea, overslept. Sounds like a bad school excuse." Briar said while still messing with her braids. "A ring? For whom? And what for?" Briar was still puzzled on the situation, plus what does he need her for anyway? "What money do you have for a ring anyway?" Briar stared at him. "You're in college and low on cash so where do you have a budget to buy a ring?" Briar honestly didn't care as long as it was her money doing the spending.

{name:Brian#|#picture:9}“A ring for Joelle,” Brian said. “I’m going to propose to her.” He had decided this last night. The solution to their problems was to marry Joelle. Then he and Joelle would get to be together forever, and he would have a reason to stay with her. “They money I saved from not staying at hotel, I can use for the ring. I can scrape up some more if necessary. “ He looked towards Briar, to see what she thought about this.

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}Briar's heart stopped. "You're.....gonna propose." She gulped. That was the most romantic thing she'd heard of in a long time. A tear glided down her cheek. "Here," Briar said shoving at least two hundred dollars on him. "You had better get her something nice." Briar wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do but it wasn't her making the decision, it was Joelle.

{name:Brian#|#picture:9}"Brian took the money from Briar. Pulling her into a bear hug he said, "I'll pay you back every cent!" When he released her, he slung his arm around her shoulders. "Could you help me pick out the ring?" He asked. Walking into the huge shopping center, he look at the maps to figure out where the jewellery department was.

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}"No need." Briar said pushing him back from a bear hug. "Remember Mr. Snuggles? Your favorite toy? And he 'broke' and um I did that and stole twenty dollars from you as a kid." Briar looked at Brian who now had a serious grin but then slowly walked into the jewelry store where a kind lady greeted them.
"How can I help you two?" She said still smiling.

{name:Brian#|#picture:9}"You broke Mr. Snuggles! If I was still eight years old right now I would tell mom!" Brian said, trying to stay joking but focused on the task ahead.
"We're looking for engagement rings." Brian said to the sales lady. "Could you show us where they are?" The lady did, showing them a display of rings, all sparkly and magnificent.
"Which one should I get her?" Brian asked Briar.

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}"Well personally I'd pick that one," Briar said pointing at a ring with a black band engraved with roses and topped with a small 14 karat diamond. "but knowing Joelle, she'd like that one." Pointing at a ring with a thick gold band and a sapphire jewel in the middle. Briar glanced over at the cheaper rings. There was one that caught her eye. It had a silver band with x's and o's engraved in it and had a small jade jewel in the middle. "Which do you like?" Briar asked Brian as he gawked over the very high prices.

{name:Brian#|#picture:9}"Ummm..." Brian said looking at all the rings. There were so many and they were all so pricey! He wanted to get one Joelle the best, but at this point in his life he couldn't afford the best.
"Maybe that one?" Brian said pointing to a silver band with x's and o's engraved on it. He had seen Briar look at it a minute ago, and it had caught his eye. Something about it made is special. Plus it wasn't oging to cost him an arm and a leg!

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}"I like that one too." Briar said grinning surprised that she found a good ring. "How much will this cost?" She asked the lady behind the counter.
"About fifteen hundred." She said looking at them as if they were crazy. "Do you want this one?"
Briar shrugged and looked at Brian. "I guess so."

{name:Brian#|#picture:9}"Ya that's the one." Brian said. The price was still very high, but it would be easier to afford than the others. The lady took the ring fromt the display and rang it through. Brian paid her, and then turned to Briar. "Thanks for coming. I really appreciate it." he said, giving her a hug.

{name:Briar Woods#|#picture:5}"Yea. No problem. When are you gonna propose?" Briar said wondering how he will hide the black box from Joelle.
Briar stared at the case thinking about when she will get married and get the courage to talk to some people. She sighed. "I'm off to the park for some drawing!"

{name:Brian#|#picture:9}"I don't know, maybe tonight?" Brian smiled at Briar. "Have fun!" he said. Looking around he realized the parking lot was a lot fuller than when he arrived. He couldn't see his car anywhere! He scanned the parking lot for a bit, before giving up and hitting the panic button on his car. The loud whooping help him quickly find it. "Do you need a ride to the park?" he asked Briar.
