       We all meet up at Jonathan's house for dinner. Jonathan looks nervous. " Thank all of you for helping earlier." I say. " Uh.... yeah , no problem. All in a days work. " says Jonathan " Deanna, I need to speak with you, alone." " OK.... " I say. I wonder what I did.  We go down the hall to the other side of the house. Jonathan pulls me into his room. " Im gonna propose to Summer. I need you to video tape it. Don't let her see the camera until I do it. I will tap my fingers on my side when I'm about to do it. Okay?" He says at a whisper. I gasp. " Okay." I say with a smile. We take a minute to compose ourselves, then we join the others with dinner. After dinner we all stand in the living room. I look over to see Jonathan watching me. Then I remember the signal. He gives it and I go into action. I pull out the camera. " I just got this the other day. Its really cool. " I say. Then Jonathan reaches into his pocket, pulls out the small, velvet box, and drops it! Seriously! " SMILE!' I say, pretending to take a picture of Summer. Then she looks over and sees Jonathan on one knee. " What are you doing silly? Hold on. Oh my gosh! " says Summer. " Summer Don Richardson, will you marry me?" Says Jonathan, tearing up. " Yes, yes, yes, a million times YES!" says Summer, bursting into tears. Then Jonathan takes her hand and slips on the ring. Summer looks at me and says " DID YOU VIDEO TAPE THAT?! Now everyone will see me cry!". I cant help but laugh. Jasper and I leave but Summer stays. When I get home I look at the footage I got from this night. Its pretty funny. Jonathan dropping the box and scrambling, me NOT letting Summer look at him, Summer being clueless. I was laughing when my phone rings. Its Jasper. " Hello" I say. " Deanna, you gotta come get me! I'm on Oak Drive. You will see my car. Hurry. I think my-" The phone cuts off. I get my keys and drive out. About halfway down the old,spooky road, I see Jasper's BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics laying upside down. Oh my God!! " JASPER!!!" I yell as I jump out of the truck and run to the car. Its dented up like crazy. " Jasper!! Are you OK!? I yell as I spot him, still strapped into the car. Once I get him out he explains what happened. " I was going about 70 when one of those dogs jumped out in front of me. I hit it and the car flipped. It rolled for a while and I caught a glimpse of it limping into the woods. I'm pretty sure its dead now. I hit it pretty good. " He explains as I drive him to the hospital. A wrecker gets the car. After a while, the hospital releases him. He is angry, but OK. I drive him back to my house. " Something has to happen about those dogs." He says as sit on the couch. I say" Yeah " I say and I was going to make that something happen.
