*The girls arrive at the train station and gasp as they see the train slowly starting to move down the tracks. Kim, who's trying to get the briefcase out of the taxi, screams to Theresa who's already bound ahead and tries to catch up with it*
Kim: Theresa! Jump on quickly!!
Theresa: I can't! I just can't get a reach!!
*Theresa starts to slow down as she tries to catch her breath, panting. She almost gives up and decides to take the next train when a handsome, tall man grabs her arm and picks her up into his embrace. The train shifts into a faster gear and sends the two falling to the ground. Theresa lays ontop of the man; she looks up and almost faints as she whispers under her breath.*
Theresa: ...Melody?
*The man smiles sweetly and gazes into her eyes, wiping away a strand of hair from her face... then tips his hat*
Melody: Howdy, miss...
*She blushes and stands up, brushing herself off, embarrassed*
Theresa: Oh, I'm so sorry. I--
*Theresa gazes into his eyes and smiles, completely mesmerized by the sparkle in his eyes. She takes a sigh and smiles blissfully. He smiles back as Theresa looks down and notices his hand is on her hip. She looks up and Melody chuckles shyly, quickly removing his hand.*
Melody: Do I get the pleasure in knowing who my damsel in distress is?
*Theresa smiles shyly and looks down; she notices her face getting hot.*
Theresa: My name's Theresa...
Melody: That's a beautiful name...Theresa.
*She smiles and looks up to him*
Theresa: And what's your name?
Melody: Melody...Melody Jones.
*Theresa smiles brightly and chuckles to herself, but then gives him a confused look*
Theresa: What are you doing here in Texas? I tho--
*She stops herself immediately, not wanting to give anything 'suspicious' away*
Melody: A friend and I came down here to meet some ladies...
*Theresa looks down, saddened*
Theresa: Oh...
Melody: My friend and his little lady went down to see a picture, but I kinda felt like the third wheel and decided to hitch a ride back home...
*Theresa tries not to look so over-joyed, but she can't help it! She tries to calm herself*
Theresa: So what happened to the gal you were supposed to be with?
*Melody makes a funny face and "bleh's"*
Melody: Oh her? She wasn't my type.
Theresa: No?
Melody: No, I'm a very picky man...
*He smiles proudly as he puffs out his chest. Theresa giggles and nods*
Theresa: Oh is that so?
*He nods and chuckles*
Theresa: So who is your type?
*Immediately, Melody gently lets out the air in his chest and gazes into her eyes once more*
Melody: Someone....like you.
*Those words hit Theresa like a brick wall*
Like me...
*She relishes in the moment and continues to play those words over and over in her mind*
Someone like me...

*Back at the station, Kim pulls the luggage out of the taxi forcefully and sighs when her clothes get strewn all over the walk-way. She bends down to pick them up, thinking to herself while doing her task*
Kim: I wonder where Deeds is...he wouldn't be here in Kentucky...and he wouldn't be in Manhattan.......where is Mandrake Falls anyw--
Man: Vermont, miss.
*Kim looks up and watches as the man tips his hat and calmly continues walking. Kim chuckles to herself and nods*
Kim: All right...so he's in Vermont! That was easy.
*After she gathers her things and places them neatly back into her luggage case, she walks over to the ticket desk to request a boarding pass*
Kim: Hello...
Man: Hello miss, what can I do for you?
*Kim smiles, loving this polite speech that's lacking in 2007*
Kim: I would like a ticket to Vermont....
Man: That will be $5, please.
*Kim reaches into her purse and smiles politely as she hands him the money*
Man: Thank you...here's your ticket and have a wonderful trip.
*Kim takes the ticket and smiles once more*
Kim: Thank you very much, I'm sure I will...

kim boards the train in a sulking like way b/c she is wondering where her special man is as well as wondering if she is ever going to see her best friend again.
as she sits down on a random seat next to the window she waits impatiently for the train to move. she gazes at the beautiful trees swaying in the wind surrounding her window. a tear starts to scroll down her face.
kim: where is a tissue when you need one around here?* she bends down to reach into her luggage.*
a man comes up behind her and pulls out a hankerchief from his suit.
man: are you alright miss?
kim: *trying not to look at him*yes thankyou.
the man sits beside her on the isle seat, gently grabs her chin to turn it toward him.
man: are you sure you are okay* wiping right underneath her eyes as softly as he can*
kim looks at him and just smiles.
kim: what is your name?* trying to stop crying*
man:longfellow deeds. what is your name?
kim: *looking surprised out of her wits* kim.
longfellow: you are a very pretty lady kim.
kim: you're just saying that.
longfellow: *he smiles at her* you're right you arent pretty.........
kim looks sadden by what he just said and looks away.
longfellow:......youre beautiful!

*Back on the train, Theresa and Melody giggle and chat for what seems like days...The two are so entranced and mesmerized by one another they even skip breakfast and lunch. Melody gazes at Theresa as she watches the scenery pass by quickly and smiles*
Melody: Theresa...
*Theresa smiles, loving the sound of her name being called when he says it. She looks to him *
Theresa: Yes?
*Melody looks down, shy, but he's determined to ask her in a manly way*
Melody: I really like you, Theresa..and I was wondering--
*Excited, Theresa perks and looks to him*
Theresa: Yes?
Melody: Would you like to go to dinner with me to-night?
*Theresa sighs blissfully and nods*
Theresa: I'd love to! But oh...aren't we arriving in Vermont this evening around 8?
Melody: Yeah...well, see...I was wondering if you'd like to spend more time with me -- that is if you're not busy.
Theresa: No! I'm not busy at all - in fact the reason I came here was to--
*She cuts herself short and smiles*
Theresa: I mean...the reason I came here was to meet new people...I'd love to go to dinner with you this evening, Melody.
*He smiles excitedly and shrieks*
Melody: Woooooohooooooooo!
*Theresa laughs and shouts along with him*
Theresa: Yay!!
**Back at the train station with Kim and Deeds**
*Kim blushes and goes to speak when one of the waiters walks up and asks for an order*
Deeds: Oh, buzz off, pal, can't you see I'm talking with a lady?
*The waiter gives Deeds a snobby face and huffs*
Waiter: If you don't want the food, sir, then you and madam would have to wait until tomorrow morning for breakfast!
*Kim places her hand gently on Deed's arm and smiles*
Kim: I don't mind, Longfellow...really. I'm a little hungry anyways.
*Deeds looks to the waiter and snaps his fingers*
Deeds: Well...you heard the woman!
*The waiter quickly runs off and Kim and Deeds walk over to a lovely table in the dinner cart*

kim and deeds both sit down across from each other at the considerably small table in the cart.
they both pick up the long menus on the table in front of them. neither of them are looking at the list of dishes, and at the same time...look right above the top of the menus, so all they could see each other's eyes. gradually they let down their menus just watching one another w/o talking.
waiter: have you two decided what you want yet?
in their own world, they dont notice the waiter standing there.
wait: uhhem!!! *clearing his throat load enough to catch their attention.
kim: oh im sorry what is it?
waiter: i said, have you two decided what you are going to eat?
kim: oh i see, well..... i ll take whatever you think is the best meal.
deeds: ill have the same* he never takes his eyes off hers.
waiter:*rolls his eyes, then politely bows* yes sir......yes ma'am.
the table is small enough to where deeds slowly moves his hand underneath it toward hers. he gently grasps it and she smiles.
deeds: you have soft hands.
kim: thank you....yours are just right.*she hasnt stopped smiling yet*
on the other train w/ theresa and melody.......

*After a few moments, the announcer speaks over the loudspeaker*
Announcer: We are now in Kentucky in 10 minutes. Please take your seats and have your tickets ready. Thank you.
*Melody and Theresa both look away and smile to themselves, excitedly. Melody regains his composure and takes a deep breath*
Melody: Well, you ready?
Theresa: Ready as I'll ever be.
*The two walk out of the train station and hail for a taxi. Melody opens the trunk and places their luggage in the back; he takes a seat next to Theresa and they take off.*
Melody: So do you have a place to stay?
Theresa: I figured I'd stay at the nearest hotel...they have lovely beds, I hear.
*Melody looks to her and chuckles*
Theresa: What?
Melody: Nothing...
Theresa: I suppose you have a better idea, then?
*She folds her arms and giggles to herself, laughing at the funny expression on his face*
Melody: Sure.
Theresa: And what might that be?
Melody: You can stay with me at my house.
*Theresa stops laughing immediately and looks to him*
Theresa: Are you serious?
Melody: Absolutely serious...I have an extra room; my brother stayed with me for a couple months but he moved out last week, so the room's yours if you want it.
*Theresa pauses and thinks to herself*
Well, I'd only stay there as long as Kim's gone, then when she gets back we'll find a hotel.
*She smiles and nods*
Theresa: It's a plan!
*The sparkle in Melody's eyes light up as he smiles proudly*
Melody: Oh Theresa, you'll love it!
Theresa: I know I will!
***Kim and Deeds***
*Kim sits at the table enjoying her meal while Deeds sits forward with his fist under his chin, continuing to gaze at Kim. Kim looks up and finishes chewing*
Kim: Is there something wrong?
*Deeds smiles and sits back, embarrassed.*
Deeds: No, there's just something about you.
*Kim takes another bite of her food*
Kim: Something about me?
Deeds: Yeah...you seem like you're from another world.
*Kim scoffs and rolls her eyes*
Kim: Well thanks! That's very romantic.
*Deeds chuckles and shakes his head*
Deeds: Oh, no...no, I mean, the world is so full of snooty women, with no respect...but you have everything I've bee--I mean--that men have been looking for, there's something about you that I can't place my finger on.
*Kim blushes and smiles*
Kim: You're so sweet.
*Deeds chuckles and looks down shyly*
Deeds: Awww, gosh, Kim. You're the sweet one.
Sorry, I know they're long posts, but I'm used to writing novels! lol.

as they get into the taxi, melody tells the driver to take them to oliver's restaurant.

Awwww...
*As Melody and Theresa walk into the lavishly decorated restaurant and sit down at their table. The folks stare at them and whisper to one another, leaving Theresa confused.*
Theresa: Melody...
Melody: Yeah?
Theresa: Why is everyone looking at us?
Melody: Because you're beautiful...
*She blushes and giggles*
Theresa: Awwww, you're so sweet...
*The two sit back and look at their menus; the waiter walks up to them and asks them what they'd like to order*
Melody: I'll take a steak dinner, two potatoes, side of squash, two sides of green beans, a caesar salad and your finest wine.
*Theresa's mouth nearly drops. She smiles weakly and nods*
Theresa: The same for me...but just the steak dinner and caesar salad.
*The waiter nods and walks away with their order. The two sit back and smile at each other*
Theresa: So--
Melody: Gosh...you look beautiful tonight, Theresa.
*Theresa smiles and gazes into his eyes*
Theresa: So do you--I mean...you look very handsome.
*He smiles and chuckles shyly*
***Kim and Deeds***
*After another couple hours of chatting and laughing, the announcer speaks over the loudspeaker*
Announcer: We will now be arriving in Vermont in 10 minutes, please take your seat and have your ticket ready. Thank you
*Kim gets up and grabs her purse, walking back to her seat. Deeds follows her but gets interrupted by a drunkard*
Drunkard: Vrrrry schnice lassie yhou've ghot there...
*He staggers a bit, nearly falling over when Deeds grabs hold of his shirt collar*
Drunkard: Thssssank you *hiccup*
*Deeds nods and gives the man a strange look*
Deeds: Not at all...
Drunkard: Ashh I washh staying..--shaying...yhou have a beaaaaaauuutiul wifey, there...
*Deeds chuckles and looks over to Kim who's sitting in her seat and gazing out the window*
Deeds: Oh, she's not my wife...
Drunkard: SHE ISN'T?! Then I Shtill have a chhhhance then...
*He rubs his hands together and starts walking toward Kim. Deeds stops the man*
Deeds: She isn't my wife...but she's my fiance'.
*The man stops and pouts*
Drunkard: Yer' fiiancs--fienche--firei...
Deeds: My fiance'.
Drunkard: Yeah...I KNEW THAT!
Deeds: Right, then you better git! 'Cause I don't act kindly to guy folk who are hitting on my fiance'!
*Kim overhears the conversation and looks to Deeds. She hears the words 'My fiance'' and looks down, sad*
So he does have a girlfriend...
*He walks back over to her after he's dealt with the drunkard and grabs his bags from the top of the train*
Deeds: You ready?
*Kim looks up to him and shakes her head*
Kim: I've decided to stay here...
Deeds: Stay here? Where are you off to?
Kim: Oh, I don't know. I wouldn't want to ruin any of your plans.
Deeds: Plans?
*He scoffs and laughs*
Deeds: I don't have any plans! The only plans I have are to show you around my hometown...gosh, that oughtta be a pip!
*Kim smiles weakly; wanting to go with him, but knowing it isn't right*
Kim: Longfellow...I just can't. I'm sorry.

*The two finish their meal and get ready to head out. Melody stands up and places Theresa's coat over her shoulders. He pauses for a minute and gently squeezes her arms, pulling her closer, toward him. He gazes into her eyes and softly runs his finger down the outline of her face. The feel of his strong fingers send shivers down her spine, making her toes curl. He pulls her in and they lock into a tight embrace, kissing passionately. They get interrupted by the applause of the entire restaurant cheering and sighing. Melody and Theresa look to each other and laugh, running outside to hail a taxi. As they walk out, they figure it's such a lovely evening they take a walk down the street. Melody runs his hand around her waist and links her fingers with his.*
Theresa: I've never been so happy in my life...
Melody: Neither have I....
*The two continue to walk but Theresa gasps when it starts pouring rain on her gorgeous dress and hair*
Theresa: Oh no! My dress is going to get ruined!
*Melody acts quickly and lifts her up into his strong arms. He runs to the nearest hotel, which is only about a block or two away, and runs into the building, safe from the pouring rain. He stands in front of the door watching the rain, from inside, and looks to Theresa; they both start laughing. She looks down and continues giggling*
Melody: What's so funny?
*She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses his nose playfully*
Theresa: We're inside the building and you're still holding me.
*He chuckles, nearly going to put her down and he positions her in his arms, lifting her up so he has a tighter grip on her and smiles, then catches the gleam in her eye and acts as serious as ever*
Melody: I never want to put you down again, Theresa...
*She sighs and lays her head against his shoulder.*
***Kim and Deeds***
*Kim throws her arms around Deeds and sobs in his embrace. She pulls away slowly and gazes into his eyes*
Kim: But Longfellow...I can't go with you.
Deeds: And why not? Don't you want to meet my friends in Mandrake Falls? Gosh, they'd just love you...
Kim: Sure I would, but what would--
*She pauses and takes a deep sigh, trying to hold in the tears*
Kim: What would your fiance' say?
Deeds: My fiance'?!
Kim: I overheard you talking to that man--
*He throws his head back and laughs*
Kim: What's so funny? Are you laughing at me now, because you succeeded in pulling that nasty trick on me?
*Deeds shakes his head and grabs hold of her arms gently, looking at her*
Deeds: I don't have a fiance'...
Kim: You don't? But what abou--
Deeds: I told that man that you were my fiance'...
*The shock of those words hit her and send her soaring into the clouds*
Kim: Me?
Deeds: Well, he started toward you--and I wasn't gonna just stand by and let the girl I like be harassed by--
Kim: You like me?
*He smiles and looks down sheepishly*
Deeds: Well yeah...I've liked ya' from the moment I saw you, Kim...
*She smiles and sighs, falling into his embrace. She gives him a hug and closes her eyes.*
I finally have my dream...I wonder if Theresa's found her Beau yet...

theresa: your never going to let me go are you?
melody: nope.....well....only unless you want me too.
theresa: no....no...your just fine.
*melody sighs w/ relief*
since he is holding theresa, he whistles for a taxi.
the driver arrives and opens the door for them.
melody: *gently lets her down inside the taxi and slides in himself after her.*
driver: where to folks?
melody: to the jones ranch off of gardeniabush lane.*as he slowly puts his arm around her head in the taxi.

melody: isnt rain beautiful? it makes the day more romantic.
theresa: i guess it does......i never really thought of it that way.
20 minutes later.....

Sorry it took so long, pally; I've been so busy with the kids!
*Deeds (grrr, I keep typing Gary! lol) hails for a taxi and the two jump in, on their way to his hometown*
Kim: I'm so nervous, Longfellow
Deeds: Don't be; everyone will just love you, Kim.
Kim: I hope they would...
*He chuckles and wraps his strong hands around hers as if to assure her and calm her nerves*
Deeds: They'll feel about you the way I do...
*Kim blushes and looks out the window; her heart beating a hundred miles a minute. Later, the two arrive in front of his house. Deeds steps out of the taxi and holds out his hand; Kim places her hand in his and gets out of the car, looking around*
Kim: Oh Longfellow...this place is wonderful! I love the house!
Deeds: Awwww, It ain't much, really. I'm getting ready to build a house in Montana this fall; it's gonna be a big house, too! With beautiful curtains and furnature...*
He steps up to Kim and removes a strand of hair from her eyes*
Deeds: The house sure would look a lot better if I had a wife to tend to all those little details...I'm not very good with that sort of thing.
*He gazes into her eyes and smiles. Unsure of what to say, Kim stands in a daze*
Kim: I--I don't know what to say, Longfellow...I--
Deeds: You don't have to say anything right now...just promise me that you'll think about it.
*Kim scoffs to herself*
I couldn't think of anything but that...
***Theresa and Melody***
Theresa: Oh Melody, this place is lovely!
Melody: I knew you'd like it. Here! I gotta show you the backyard!
*He takes her by the hand; she giggles as they start running*
Theresa: But it's raining outside! We can't go out there...
Melody: Sure! But upstairs overlooks the entire countryside; and it's gorgeous...
*The two come to the upstairs window; he covers her eyes from behind her and smiles excitedly*
Melody: All right...on the count of three. 1...2...3!
*He removes his hands from her eyes and stands back, watching her reaction. Theresa gasps at the beauty of the scenery*
Theresa: Melody it's....it's amazing!
Melody: I knew you'd like it - I've been working this land off of my father since I was a teenager; he just recently gave it all to me.
*Theresa turns around and throws her arms around his waist*
Theresa: I love it, Melody...
*Melody holds her close and kisses her forehead gently*
If only I could tell her how I really feel about her...
