"Oh, another tough guy."

"Eh, he doesn't look so tough." Said Fulton as we saw Dean Portman come out and show his skills.

"Don't lie to me, Fulton. You're just jealous there's another tough guy but you don't have to worry. You're wise and he's not." I said. "Tough ain't always wise."

Then, he started knocking everyone down.

"And I was right..." I breathed. I could see Fulton's face filled with anger and he learned to control himself from all the lessons I've taught him and plus I prefer not to see him fight.

I gentley rubbed his back trying to calm him down but it didn't help and Portman was acting stupidly reckless so I let Fulton go at it.

"Go ahead, babe." I said as I see the rest of the team end up arguing with the rookies. "Really? Will you join me if I do?" He asked.

"Nah I'm good over here, you go." I said. He smiled, kissed me on the cheek and skated right over to where the others were arguing.

I shook my head, smiling and skated to them when coach split them up.

"But, I  wanted to only go with you." I said. "Yeah but Dean wants to go out and they said you can't go out alone." Said Fulton.

He'd just told me Dean will be joining us on our date night. Now, it's not a date night.

I did feel bad because Fulton's never had a friend like himself before. Big and tough. And I was happy he was getting along with Portman but I wanted tonight to just be us and it was just for tonight.

"Can you guys go out another day? Just the two of you next time! I won't be there to disturb anything." I said.

"Rocky is airing tonight! The movie for tough guys! and it's the last day for this movie so..." Said Portman.

I sighed looking down at the outfit I chose for this night I thought would be special.

"You know? You two go watch that movie together. Boys night out, huh? Sounds fun doesn't it? Go ahead. I'll be asleep." I said.

"Cool! Let's go, Fulton." Said Portman as he leaves my room but Fulton stood there.

"Well? Get going!" I said, gesturing him to go.

"You're mad aren't you?" He asked as if it wasn't obvious. "You're out of your mind! Why would I be?"

"Because I just ruined date night and I know how much you hate it when any event is ruined or cancelled." He said.

"Took you that long to remember?" I said and sat back down on my bed. He sat next to me, holding my hand.

"Sorry, I just never had a friend like Dean before. You know that." "Yeah, I know. But, you should go. That movie airs soon. Go watch it." I said.

"You know? I'll let Dean watch with someone else. I'd rather be with you than ruin date night." He said.

"Besides, like you said. Tough ain't wise."

He takes my hand and kisses it. "So? Maybe we don't watch a movie tonight but we can go to some places and it is still 3 hours before curfew..."

"So, what do you think?"

I blushed at his question. "I honestly cannot wait to marry you, Fulton Reed."
