     "Mads..... Wake up..." I hear Ryan say as he shakes me.
     I groan and squint my eyes just enough so I can see him.
     "Why do I need to get up???" I complain putting my head under the blanket.
"Because, I made breakfast and didn't burn it this time!" He says to me shaking me again. I groan and have no choice but to get up.
"Why, do you feel accomplished or something?" I say punching his shoulder as I stretch.
"Actually yes!" He says punching me. "So come on!" He says as he basically drags me out of the room.
We make our way to the kitchen and I look around for the breakfast.
"Uhmmmmm, Ryan? Where exactly is it?" I say laughing looking around the room.
"See, that's the thing... I made it, but it got eaten......." He says trying not to laugh.
"WHAT?!" I say slapping him in the stomach. "Why'd you eat breakfast without me?!"
"It actually wasn't me!" He says putting his hands up in the air.
"Well who was it?! Abby?! Jacob?!" I say trying to make my way to Abby's room. Trust me, I love my food.
"No no, it actually wasn't." He says holding me back. "Just follow me." He says laughing and taking me to the basement.
     "What the fuck?" I say as we make our way down the stairs. I haven't been down here in a while, how does Ryan even know this place exists?
     "Just shut the fuck up and come on!" He says as he drags me down the last few stairs.
     "Close your eyes." He says as he makes me stand in front of him as he puts his hands over my eyes.
     "Ryan how do I know you aren't gonna make me walk into a wall?" I say as I take my left leg and try to kick back at him but fail.
     "Well my dear, that would be trust." He says as we make a right. And then another right, and another, and another and another.
     "Ryan you're making me walk in circles aren't you..." I say crossing my arms.
     "Technically it's a square." He pipes up. I take my arm and try to slap him in the chest, but end up going much lower. He still keeps his hands over my eyes though.
     "FUCK!" He says loudly trying not to move.
     "Oops." I say as a grin appears oh my face. "I didn't know."
     "Anyways...." Ryan says as he takes his hands away from my face. "Open." He says as he points to the closest door.
     "Is a murderer going to be in there? And kill me? Cause I'll get you charged don't worry." I say putting a smile on my face.
     "Just open the goddamn door." He says rolling his eyes while laughing at me.
     I open the door and I don't see anything. Not a single thing.
     "Ryan there's nothing here what the fuck are you trying to d-" I start to say but I feel something at my feet. 
     I look down and fall to my knees. It was a fucking dog. Ryan actually got me a dog.
     It was a mini shih tzu. Black and white, with really fluffy fur. I pick up the animal and hold it in my arms and start to cry. I was always a big animal lover, and this dog reminded me just like my last one.
     "Ryan....." I say between tears. "It's.... It's beautiful." I say holding the dog out in front of me as I kiss it on the nose. It looked just like an Oreo.
     The dog licked my face and played with Ryan and I on the floor for about 30 minutes. I had no worries in the world.
     "Is it a boy or a girl?!" I ask Ryan as he holds the puppy in his arms.
     "Girl." He says smiling. I've always wanted one. All of the dogs I've had before were males. This one felt special.
     "Oh my goodness." I say picking up the cutie. I squeeze the puppy and kiss her 10 times on the head. "I'm gonna name you Maggie, after my sister....." I said as I started to cry, while she licked my face again.
     "Awwwww" Ryan says as he takes a picture of the two of us without me realizing it. "That's a keeper." He says looking at his phone.
     "Wait, me or the dog?" I say smiling as I turn the dog to face him with me.
     "Both." He says smiling. I lean over and give him a kiss as I lean on him. Maggie comes in between us as she then goes over to Ryan and scratches at his stomach. Ryan and I both start to laugh as we watch her run around in circles in front of us.
     "Don't mind me asking, but when did you get her?" I ask Ryan but not taking my eyes off of her.
     "Last night." He says turning to me and smiling. I turn to him and just raise my eyebrow. "Last night I had a source bring the dog here and put her in the basement so you wouldn't know. Thennnnn I thought it would be a good idea to just give her to you this morning. I was trying to surprise you and I think it worked." He said winking at me.
     "I certainly did." I say smiling as I intertwine our fingers. "It's everything I could have ever wanted." I say as I admire the dog.
     "Wait.... Me or the dog?" He says mimicking my words.
     I smile and give him a kiss that lasts about 5 seconds, but we're broken off by Maggie dropping the ball in Ryan's lap.
     "Both."
