[Yes, please talk to Sola about his spelling.

The single string of Christmas lights marking the entrance to the small clearing is only the start. As Johnny steps under it, several more strings can be seen, all different bright colors twinkling from tree to tree in a haphazard way. A few ornaments hang from low branches and bushes as well, reflecting the lights and the ocean together.

Under the display rests a large blanket, in the center of which is a basket filled with different foods that don't require cooking. It looks as if Sola's cleaned out the entire supermarket deli; bread, slices of cheese and meats, little boxes of sushi, fruit, dolmas, macaroni salad, and a large box from Italy's bakery filled to the brim with tiny cakes and pastries. To drink there are two bottles of wine, one red and one white, chosen at random by someone who clearly doesn't know anything about wine. But it's the thought that counts, right?

At the edge of the blanket, opposite the entrance, there stands Sola. His cheeks are pink with the exertion of putting everything together and the worry as to if Johnny will be surprised or even like the entire endeavor. He fiddles with the hem of his tunic - red today, for a bit of color - and can't help but smile as his matesprit comes into view.]


Hi. Um... I just thought that, with everything going on, it would be nice to umm... y'know, have a date.

[He looks up at Johnny questioningly.]

Are you surprised?
