((Well, with this being Christmas Eve, what would this town be without some Christmas spirit?
Also, for all who rp here and post at least one paragraph for their introduction rp, you will earn $50 on the account you are using as a Christmas present. ASAP, money is basically only for condo buying, but it will be more useful later!))
Kathleen stood in front of the hall, wearing a silver dress that glittered in the moonlight. Her hair was soft and straight, also shininy in the moonlight as it fell over he shoulders. She was wearing a bit of make up, as she did not need too much. She actually looked like a man when she overdid the make up.
The Christmas Party was starting in the party hall of the theater and people where entering the beautifully decorated area. As people passed, she stood outside in the moonlight under a single street light, waiting for Ferdinand. He was coming, and they were taking this oppurtunity to have their very first formal date. She couldn't wait to see his face...at least she thought so.
Lately, her thoughts had been flooded with thoughts that had puzzled her in so many way. She wasn't sure if she loved Ferdinand the way she loved him before. He was such a sweet guy, and on their first date she knew that she was meant to be with him, but now he wasn't sure anymore. It had been weeks since that first date, but she was still thinking about what she had said to Michael when he had encountered Ferd and her on their date. She had convinced herself that it was rubbish what she shouted out, that she didn't feel anything towards Michael. But if she had said it, it must have meant something. Normal people don't randomly shout out "I dream about having sex with you" at others. Was she insane, or was this real?
The thoughts plagued her mind as she waited. She gazed inside at the brightly litted tree, the beautiful lights and Christmas decorations inside. It was all so beautiful, but her mind was all on her relationship on Ferd. She was so confused and lost; she just didn't know what to think.
"Do I love him....or do I love Michael?" she whispered to herself as she turned and stared out into the dimmly litted streets. She finally faced her head to the ground and let a single tear hit to cement with a loud "plop".

Ferdinand arrived in a black tux and in his pocket, an engagement ring. He was sure he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Kathleen. He would ask her to marry him. He looked up at the sky. His mind was flooded with thoughts of her. He had his guitar with him, and he was going to sing his new Christmas song to her. He saw Kathleen. He went over to her and gave her a single rose, like from their first date.
"Hi Baby Bear" he said.

As Kathleen looked down on the dark surface of the cement that stood beneath her, she couldn't help but continue to think through all her tears about Ferdinand and Michael. She didn't know what she wanted anymore. She was so lost and confused in the romantic busniess and all. Ferd or Michael? Ferd or Michael? Ferd or Michael....
"Hi Baby Bear" he said.
Kathleen jerked her head upward and quickly swiped the tear off her face as she saw Ferdinand's face, staring at her. He looked extremely hot with his tux, and he was holding a single rose. She tried to forget about all her thoughts and she quickly stood up and hugged him.
"Hey, Ferdy Ferd! What's up?"

"Nothing much. I wrote a new song... for you."
He handed her the rose. Hidden on the rose was the ring. It was gold with one diamond. He hoped she would see it. It was much easier than just giving it to her. He was almost sure she would say yes, but he was still nervous.

Micheal came in the party. He was so glad he finally got a break in weeks. Hosting on the show was much harder then he thinks he makes it. You have to have all those jokes in your head and you have to remember all those dang song names. Who the heck was Toni Braxton? But then he spotted Kathleen and Ferdinand. He looked like he was gonna throw up. He didn't expect to see her with Ferd tonight. He wondered if he should jump in. He did.
"HEY KATHLEEN and....you."

Kathleen was surprised when in almost an instant, Ferdinand had gotten onto his knees and drawn out a ring; the most beautiful proposal ring in the world! It gleamed brighter, even brighter than her dress, than the lights of the street lights that lit the streets, than the colorful ones that lit the Christmas tree inside. She stared at it, her expression totally blank with a hint of suprise as well. All she could do was stare. She didn't know what to do but that. Kathleen didn't think she'd have to decide between Brian and Ferdinand right that second.
The moment was broken when she suddenly heard another male voice that she knew so well and loved so much, yet dreaded to encounter at the same time. Kathleen turned to see him. It was Michael.
"Michael...what are you doing here?"

When Ferd was down on his knees. Michael arrived. Every time. Every single time his life was getting good, that ####### had to ruin it.
He remained on his knees but was about to lose his temper. What does hwe do? Does he ignore him? Fight him? Try to get along with him? Ferd had no idea.

"Now, what is that you got there?"
Micheal couldn't believe his eyes. It was a ring. A ring! In all the objects in the world, it had to be a ring! It could've been a carrot, or a flower, or a trash bag instead. But no, it had to be a ring. Micheal was steaming inside his head like a boiling pot. Though, he wasn't sure how to react. He just stared at it.

Kathleen was lost in the moment. This just had to be the moment when Michael showed up. She felt totally uncomfortable and extremely frightened by the whole situation. Not only was Ferd proposing to her, a proposal that she was not sure if she would take or not, but Michael, her possible true crush, showed up right in the middle of it all. And all during Christmas! This was suppose to be a happy time!
All she could think of doing was just standing there, eyeing the two of them in complete and utter shocked. She didn't know what to do at all. IT was all so confusing. She felt lost. She was dizzy. Her heartbeat skyrocketed.

Ferdinand was completely frustrated.
"Kathleen, what is your answer?"
He was losing control of his temper.

The question that exited Ferd's mouth was one that she wished to procrastinate on, yet now that it was out in the open and he was expecting a speedy reply, procrastination was no longer an open option. Her face obviously showed her confusion, how she was lost and how she couldn't stand being in the middle of Michael and Ferdinand like this. And worst of all, she didn't know if she was ready to be his wife. She wasn't sure if her love for him was so strong that she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life, especially when she might love someone else even more.
There was a sudden rush over Kathleen, a rush of feelings and emotions that mixed with her brain. What was she thinking? She was probably just confusing herself to get out of her destiny. She couldn't love Michael. She couldn't! If she did, then why was it all suddenly when her feelings for him started rushing back? And why had she been so good with Ferdinand if she didn't actually love him? What about the feelings she had felt for him day one on their date? And if she wasn't mistaken, the feelings she had felt for him when they sat in that theater were true.
Kathleen turned to stare at Michael, then pushed him out of her sight and faced Ferdinand. This was a moment she hoped she would not regret in the future. After taking a deep sigh, she closed her eyes, stared into Ferdinand's eyes and said,
"Yes."

He kissed her. It was the greatest moment of his life. But then something happened. His heart was beating extremely fast. Was it nerves or something else? His eyes blacked out hnd he fell to the ground, passed out. He had a very bad cold as well. What was going on with him?

Her mind was blank as she felt Ferd's lips on her own. She stared blankly into the world around her. No longer a single woman.....no longer free to date...no longer to explore love as she should; she was engaged to an amazing man, yet how she truly felt about him was an unknown, unexplored terrain that she was too afraid to even touch. 'Never really good at psycology...' she thought to herself.
However, when she suddenly heard a thud on the ground below, her thoughts forced her back into reality. "OMG!! OMG!! SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!! HELP!!" she screamed helplessly as she flung herself onto Ferdinand's lifeless body.

When Ferdinand woke up, he was in a hospital, lying on the bed.
"Where am I?" he said
["You are in St. David's Hospital"]a doctor said
"What happened?"
["You fainted, fell. You've been out for 2 days."]
"2 DAYS? What is wrong with me?"
["Young man, there is no easy way to say this. While you were out, we ran a few tests on you."] the doctor paused.
"And?"
["We have diagnosed you with Testicular Cancer. I know cancer is a scary word, but the good news is we've caught it very early. We'd also like you to know that Testicular cancer is one of the most treatable types of cancer, especially in a young man in good shape like yourself."]
Ferdinand froze. Cancer? How could he have cancer? Especially testicular!
He nodded, showing the doctor he understood.
"What are my options?"
The doctor told him that he could do treatments, but the most effective way was to remove the testicle.
"What if I don't get the surgery, don't do Kemo?"
["You'd die in months. Maybe weeks."]
"I guess I'll have to do the surgery."
["Ferdinand, you are a braver man than I. Please know that, even after the surgery, you'll have to do Kemotherapy, and it may not work."]
Ferdinand said he understood and was cleared to leave the hospital. Some Christmas.
