It was 2 in the afternoon, in Brisbane. Rusty was sitting in his car outside of Indy’s apartment, and he started to get butterflies in his stomach. He and Indy were planning to go on a date to the creek, but what Indy didn't know is that Rusty was planning on proposing to her. A lot was running through Rusty’s head. "What if I screw up?", "What if she says no?", "What if she doesn't like the ring?". As Rusty was thinking he heard the passenger side door open and Indy got into the car, carrying with her a picnic basket.
Indy: Hey Rusty (leans over and kisses Rusty on the cheek)
Rusty: Hey Hippie Girl. Should we get going?
Indy: Sure Rust-Bucket, we can get going.
Rusty (rolling his eyes): You know I hate that nickname.
Rusty then started driving. As they drove, Rusty and Indy started catching up with each other
Rusty: So how is college going?
Indy: I'm preparing for my zoology finals, so I've been kinda stressed lately. I've also gotten a bit lonely while you were gone.
Rusty: I'm sorry I have to leave so often, but I'm back for 2 months, so we can spend more time together.
Indy noted that in the dashboard of the car was a bottle-green cap with an embroidered emblem on the front.
Indy (jokingly): Do you really take your cricket cap everywhere, Rusty?
Rusty (with pride): Oh, yeah. You don’t get one of these every day. Today at the grocery store, I got seven high-fives!
Indy couldn’t help but giggle. She loved seeing her boyfriend this happy.
Rusty: I don’t think I’ll ever forget that day at the grounds.
Indy: Yeah, because your childhood dream came true?
Rusty: Because you were there.
The small comment caught Indy by surprise, and she started to blush really hard. “Will you ever stop making me feel so loved?”, Indy thought to herself, as Rusty continued to drive.
Rusty: So have you heard from Bluey recently? I haven't talked to her in a while.
Indy: She’s been doing pretty good. She's been dating this Labrador guy from Quebec for a while now, and they seem happy together.
Rusty: What's his name?
Indy: Jean-Luc, I'm pretty sure.
Rusty: Huh, I always thought she would end up with Mackenzie. Too bad Coco got to him first.
Indy: Yeah, I'm surprised Coco only admitted her feelings to him when they were both 17. She's had a crush on him ever since they were 14.
