As they walk Marvin realizes he wants to show Calista some place. Marvin Line 1) Do you mind if we visit some place right now? Calista Line 2) Not at all. Where do you want to go? Marvin Line 3) I think it’s time you visit the rest of my family. What do you think? Calista realized what this means. Line 4) Calista: He wants to stop by their grave sites. Calista smiles. Calista Line 5) Are you sure you want me to come with you? Marvin strokes Calista’s face. Marvin Line 6) Of course. It’s about time you come. Calista smiles. Calista Line 7) Can we stop somewhere first? They stop at a bouquet store to buy some flowers. Calista asks a question before she steps in. Calista Line 8) What were your sister's favorite flowers? Marvin smiles. Marvin Line 9) Peonies. Calista smiles and nods her head. She enters the store and buys multi-colored peonies for Marvin’s sister. She walks out holding them. Marvin Line 10) They look amazing. They hold hands as they walk into the grave site. They finally make it there. Marvin directs Calista to the site. They sit down in front of Luna’s headstone. Calista places the flowers in front of the headstone. Calista Line 11) Do we have to do something? Marvin Line 12) What do you mean? Calista Line 13) Like, pray or something to pay our respects? Marvin smiles. Marvin Line 14) I’m not religious, but anytime I’d come here I’d just close my eyes and imagine myself talking to her. Calista looks at Marvin with sympathetic eyes. Calista Line 15) Alright, I’ll do the same. My introduction is long overdue. Marvin smiles and they hold hands as they close their eyes. Marvin fiddles with his necklace that he always wears with Luna’s ring on it. Marvin’s narration: Line 16) Hello, Luna. I hope you’re doing well. Line 17) As you can see, I brought someone very special here with us today. Line 18) The love of my life. Line 19) Although our love story is not traditional, we still found our way to each other’s hearts. Line 20) Similar to those fairytales you loved so much. Line 21) She’s my princess, to whom I went through so much to be with. Line 22) I knew if you were alive today, the both of you would’ve gotten along immensely. Line 23) Please watch over the both of us, where you reside. Line 24) I love you so much, and hope you are in good care. Line 25) Until next time, my dear sister. Marvin opens his eyes, and sees Calista’s are still closed. Calista’s narration: Line 26) Hello Ms. Luna, my name is Calista Turner and I am here accompanying your brother today to see you. Line 27) As you may already know, I am your brother's girlfriend. Line 28) Words can’t describe how much I love him and hold him dear to my heart. Line 29) He is such an amazing person, and I am so grateful to be his girlfriend. Line 30) I hope you can look after us in Heaven. Line 31) You have my respect and best wishes. Line 32) I thank you for letting me come to your grave site. Line 33) I appreciate this honor, and hope you like the flowers I picked out for you. Rest in peace. Calista opens her eyes and looks at Marvin. She smiles at him. Calista Line 34) What would your sister think of the way you’re dressed today? Marvin smiles. Marvin Line 35) She would approve. Calista rests her head on Marvins shoulders. Calista Line 36) Thank you for letting me come here today. Marvin rubs her shoulder. Calista looks up to see a crescent moon. Calista Line 37) Look at the moon today. It’s beautiful. Marvin looks up to see the moon. Line 38) Marvin: Thank you for looking out for us, Luna. Marvin Line 39) I want to give something to you, Calista. Calista looks excited. Marvin reaches into his pocket to pull out a ring box. Calista's face goes into realization. He opens it and shows her the ring. She notices it’s the one that Marvin was supposed to propose to Elouise with. Calista Line 40) Is this the ring? He nods his head, and puts it on Calista’s ring finger. Calista Line 41) Why are you giving this to me? Calista Line 42) This isn’t some sort of proposal, right? Marvin Line 43) I’m giving this to you because you deserve to wear it. Marvin Line 44) It’s not a proposal, because we both know something like that is impossible. Marvin Line 45) But, think of this as a substitute. Marvin Line 46) I’m sorry that we’ll never be able to get married. Marvin Line 47) If these weren’t the circumstances, I’d marry you in a heartbeat. Calista looks at Marvin bittersweetly. Calista Line 48) I would marry you too. Calista hugs Marvin. Calista Line 49) Don’t be sorry for something you can’t control. They unbind and she strokes his face. She looks deep into his eyes and kisses him. They share their tender moments by the grave. They walk back home and see Talulla and Elouise saying goodbye. Talulla notices them. Talulla Line 50) Hey guys. You’re back. Elouise looks a bit uncomfortable, and is weirded out by what Marvin’s wearing. Marvin Line 51) Hey you guys. Did you two hang out today? Talulla Line 52) Yeah, we just got back from the club. Marvin and Calista are shocked. Elouise Line 53) I was just about to leave. Before Elouise walks out, Talulla whispers in her ear. Talulla Line 54) Remember what I told you in the club? *She’s referring to the apologizing thing. Talulla Line 55) Give it a shot now. Elouise Line 56) Are you guys busy by any chance? Marvin Line 57) No. Is there something you need us for? Elouise Line 58) I was wondering if I could talk to both you and Calista in private. If you guys don’t mind. Marvin looks at Calista. She smiles at them. Calista Line 59) We don’t mind. They go somewhere private to chat. Elouise sighs. Elouise Line 60) I wanted to talk to you guys because I owe both of you an apology. Elouise Line 61) I’m sorry to you Marvin for how I’ve treated you these past years. Elouise Line 62) What I did was unforgivable to you, and I hope you aren’t deeply affected by it. Elouise Line 63) If there’s any big impact that I caused, please let me know and I’ll make it up to you as soon as possible. Elouise Line 64) I don’t expect for everything to be cupcakes and rainbows between us, and understand if you don’t want to associate yourself with me. Elouise Line 65) Even though you said you forgive me. I find myself unworthy of your forgiveness. So, let my apology be as it is. Elouise Line 66) And for you, Calista, I’m sure by now you’ve heard plenty of things about me. Elouise Line 67) I’ve realized that I was coming between you and Marvin, and I’m sincerely sorry for that. Elouise Line 68) I have no intention of jeopardizing your relationship at all. Elouise Line 69) I wish all the best for you two. Elouise Line 70) I won’t disturb you two any longer. I’ll be on my way. Thank you for listening to me. As she walks away Marvin calls for her. Marvin Line 71) Elouise, wait. Marvin Line 72) I know you feel guilty for what you’ve done. But, I just want you to know that I’ve moved on from what you did, and I forgive you. Marvin Line 73) Whether you think you deserve it or not, I accept your apology. Calista Line 74) So do I. Stuff like that takes a lot of courage. Thank you for apologizing. Elouise is touched and walks away. They head back to their place. Elouise is emotional as she gets into her taxi. Line 75) Elouise: I can’t believe the both of them actually forgave me. All of them head to bed and Calista’s having a dream. In her dream she’s getting married. She is walking down the aisle with her dress on. She sees Marvin looking at her. The wedding officiant starts their speech. Officiant Line 76) Do you Marvin Douglas, take Calista Turner as your lawfully wedded wife? Marvin Line 77) I do. Calista smiles. Officiant Line 78) And do you, Calista Turner, take Marvin Douglas, as your lawfully wedded husband. Calista Line 79) I do. Officiant Line 80) I now officially pronounce you husband and wife. Officiant Line 81) You may kiss the bride. Marvin unveils Calista and kisses her. Everyone in the wedding claps and cheers. Talulla and Todd are seen as the best man and Maid of honor. Calista wakes up from her dream in tears. She looks around to see that her wedding was just a dream. She wipes away her tears and sits in silence. She looks over to her side and sees Marvin sleeping soundly. Calista’s narration: Line 82) I’ll never be able to get married to Marvin. Line 83) We’ll never be able to start a family together either. Line 84) My heartaches for the life I envision with him. Line 85) Because it’s just simply impossible. Line 86) Only in another lifetime… Line 87) Will we be able to do those things. Calista upsettingly cuddles into Marvin. One week passes. The day is Friday. April 28 1967. It’s the evening. Talulla’s narration: Line 88) The week went as usual. Line 89) Marvin and Calista would go on a date. Line 90) Elouise and I would hang out. Line 91) We did our daily endeavors, fully adapting to this new time. Line 92) But, deep down, we knew that it would all come to an end soon. Line 93) For now, I don't want to say anything until it feels right. Let them enjoy what they have. Marvin is giving Calista a massage. Calista Line 94) It’s a good thing I reminded you of this, or else we would’ve forgotten. Marvin Line 95) Yeah, are you feeling loosened up? Calista Line 96) Yeah, just keep going at it. Calista melts into Marvin as she relaxes. He laughs. Marvin Line 97) I can’t do this for long. We have to see my dad soon. Calista Line 98) Do you really want to go? Marvin Line 99) It’s not about if I want to go. I can’t deny my dad’s orders. Calista faces Marvin. Calista Line 100) I just feel bad. I’m sure having dinner with him isn’t something you want to do. Marvin boops Calista’s nose. Marvin Line 101) That’s alright, it had to be done some time, or another. Marvin strokes Calista’s face. Calista Line 102) It’s gonna be so awkward though. Calista Line 103) I have no idea what to say to him. Marvin Line 104) You’ll be alright, you handle these situations better than you think. Calista caresses Marvins hand and kisses it. End of episode. © 2024 YoshAuthor's Note
