She laughed a bit. "Well... A lot can change a girl." She giggled a bit and got in the shower with him then. "I wonder what Izzy is going to say about this...." She thought aloud.

Biting her lip she looked up at him but soon smiled. "Well.... I don't care what she thinks... I have you now..." She teased and kissed him under the water.

Daniel smiled and returned the kiss. "Do you tell my sister everything?" he asked. He took a loofa and put body wash on it and began to wash Lisette's body.

Lisette laughed a bit then. "Yea... Well... most things... If she deserves to know then I tell her... Otherwise I don't."

She smiled and kissed his cheek. "thank you." she said about his washing her.

Daniel smiled and kissed her shoulder after the soap had washed off. "You are more than welcome." He moved the loofa from her body and went to his own body and began to wash himself. He wanted to smell like her in case she had to go off somewhere.

Lisette smiled and looked at him before grabbing the loofa. "Turn." She leaned up and kissed his cheek.

"You washed me.. Now it's my turn." She grinned and looked up at him again.

"Yes ma'am," Daniel said, jokingly, as he turned around and let her wash him. "Don't be afraid to be rough, dear."

She smirked. "You shouldn't have told me that." She said pinning him to the wall of the shower. "You might like it." she teased.

Lisette kissed his neck and got out of the shower once they were done. Shaking her hair wet pieces clung to her face and neck. "I feel better." She grinned.

"Of course I'll like it. 'Tis why I told you that." Daniel said, sticking his tongue out after shutting the water off and climbing out behind her. He stood there for a moment, naked and dripping water onto the rug under his feet. Grabbing a towel, he wrapped it around his waist and walked to her. He took her into a hug. He let her go then walked to his room to get dressed.

"What do you want to do today?" he called to her, pulling on some pants then a t-shirt.

She thought for a moment then. "Hmmmm..... I don't really know.... We could go for a walk and what not... But tis up to you love." She smiled.

Lisette wore a black shirt with skulls and cross bones on it that said hugs and kisses under the skulls and crossbones. Her pants were a flair pair of black denim. And when it came to her shoes... They were black and pink with pink laces with a character on them from Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. That character was Edwardo.

Her hair was pulled back out of her face with a headband then. "Alright... So... It's up to you babe... I don't mind what we do really... As long as I get to spend time with you."

"Why is it always up to me?" Daniel said with a smile. He pulled socks on and then slipped his feet into his black All Stars. He stood and wrapped his arms around Lisette, kissing her forehead. "Why don't we start with a walk and see where that takes us?"

Lisette blushed a bit at the kiss on the forehead. Something she had gotten used to but still... Something she wasn't used to... It was odd for her to have someone that romantic toward her. She didn't mind it though.

"Sure.." She smiled. "I just hope that Izzy isn't going to go all psycho on us once she finds out what we've been doing." She laughed a bit and shook her head. Her cheeks getting a bit red from the thoughts of the night before.

Lisette smiled again and kissed him. Her arms wrapping around his neck then. "Let's go before Crazy comes home."

Daniel smiled down at Lisette. "I'm not worried about what Izzy will say or do about us. She has been pushing us to do it anyway." he said, with a laugh. He started to head for the door and down stairs but he turned to the beautiful lady behind him. "I thought you said she might be gone for a few days?"

Lisette laughed a bit. "Might being the operative word love." she grinned and walked up behind him. Wrapping her arms around his waist she kissed his neck gently.

"Have I told you lately that I love you?" She teased and smiled. Grabbing her hoodie she pulled her hair out from under the fabric. "Ready when you are." She grinned.

Stretching she let out a slight groan. "I wish my back would pop." She said a loud more to herself then anything.

About a month later, after Daniel's and Izzy's parents came home, everyone was running around getting ready for the graduation event. Daniel was in his room sitting on the bed half dressed, he was holding a small velvet box in his hands, smiling down at it and what was inside of it.

He placed the box on the bed and rose to finish dressing, he wanted to look nice. He had black dress pants on already. Daniel found his white dress shirt and put it on with a red skinny tie. A black suit jacket completed his outfit.

After slipping into his black and red All Stars, he walked over to the bed and picked up the box. He opened it to be sure the prize was still in there then closed it and slipped it into his pocket. I hope she says yes... Daniel thought and then walked out of his room. "I'm ready." he said loudly and sat on the couch waiting.

Lisette grinned and smiled as she looked up at him. "Hey you." She smiled and went over to kiss him.

Her dress was black with a red halter top. Fishnets covered her legs and her shoes were wedges with little 50's print on them. Her hair up out of her face as she smiled. A small flower in her hair of red and black to match her outfit.

Wrapping her arms around his neck she kissed his cheek.

Izzy walked over then. "My dearest brother and sister in law!" She screamed and ran over to them to hug them. "You two are so cute." She squealed. "So when am I gonna be an aunt?" She teased and ran off to help her mother with things before she could get yelled at.

Lisette shook her head. "That girl I swear is something else." She sighed and looked up at him. "Ready to meet everyone?" She took his hand and smiled leaning up she kissed his cheek again. "Come on love." She smiled again and started walking away still holding his hand.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Daniel sighed and rose from the couch, letting her pull him along. "I'm coming, dear." he said, laughing softly as they went. Before they entered the other room where all the family were mingling before heading to the graduation, Daniel pulled Lisette towards him. "I'm proud of you, love," he said, his blue eyes looking into her green. He leaned down and kissed her passionately on the lips. "I love you."

She blushed a deep scarlet. "Je t'adore aussi...." She smiled and kissed him back. "Mon amour." Shaking her head she realized she was talking in French. "Sorry... Habit." She felt her cheeks get hot. "Thank you love." Leaning up she kissed his cheek gently.

"My love." She put her head on his chest and hugged him. "I'm glad you're proud of me... At least someone is other than Izzy." She teased.

"Oh... I was thinking... As a graduation present to myself... Would you go with me to go get another peircing?" She smiled and looked up at him leaning against the closest wall. "Cause I was thinking my nose or something else... But nose mainly." She giggled slightly. "Or my bellybutton." She shrugged slightly then. "But what would you like for me to get?"

Taking his hand she kissed his knuckles. "And thank you... For everything Daniel." Hugging him tightly she fought back tears. For once she was happy.

Izzy noticed the two of them and smiled. "HEY LOVE BIRDS!!!! Come on!"

Lisette wiped her eyes slightly and laughed a bit. "I hate when she does that."

Daniel smiled. "I hate when she does that too. She knows how to ruin a moment." he said.

As they walked into the other room, he decided it was time to answer her question. "I think I would like the nose more then the bellybutton. Or maybe the lebret?" he asked, using his own finger to point the area out under his lip and between his own snake bite piercings.

She smiled. "I'll get my nose done for now..." She leaned up and kissed him gently playing with one of the snake bite studs. She grinned and looked up at him. "But what else were you going to say?? Cause I know there was something else there other than your proud of me..." She grinned.

Lisette was one smart cookie and one tough little frecracker when she needed to be but right now... It was her perception that was gonna get her into trouble. Plus she alwas knew when something was up with him. Plus not to mention he seemed.. To her at least.. Slightly nervous. "Talk to me honey." she smiled.

"There is nothing else." he said, smiling. They made it into the room, his mother and father there as well as other members of his family since it was his sister's graduation, as well as Lisette's.

Daniel was grateful for the distraction. He didn't want to bring out the velvet box until after they returned home from graduation. He pulled Lisette gently towards his grandmother and grandfather. "Hello grandma, grandpa," he said, happily, releasing Lisette's hand to hug them. He took her hand again, then gestured in Lisette's direction. "This is Izzy's best friend and my girlfriend, Lisette. She is graduating tonight as well." he said, introducing her to the grandparents proudly.

His grandmother hugged her tightly. "Hello Lisette... Welcome to the family." She smiled.

"Oh just call me Lizzie." Lisette smiled. "Almost everyone does." She hugged the older woman back.

"Such a charming young lady... Danny you need to keep this one." His grandmother teased.

Lisette covered her mouth to stiffle a snicker.

Izzy came from around the corner then. "LIZZIE!!! DANNY!!!" She hugged them both tightly. "COME ON let's get this party started!" Izzy yelled through the house.

There was a knock on the door again as more family showed up. Aunts, Uncles, and cousins.

Lisette was introduced to all of them but felt a little bit overloaded with how many there were. Sighing slightly she went and sat down on the couch in the living room.

One of the smaller kids came up and tugged at her skirt. "Lizzie... Will you come back in da kitchen wif' all a us?"

Lisette smiled and picked him up and headed back into the kitchen. She put him down once she was there. They had accepted her into the family for not being in the family... Well... As of yet...

The grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, esspecially the little ones all loved her... Now the thing was... Getting passed her parents. She knew they would be at graduation and something was bound to happen.

Daniel gave Lisette an "I'm sorry" look as she was dragged away to meet the family. She would be grateful for this later. He mingled about his family, talking to some he hadn't seen in a long time. "Hello, its been a long time." is something that was heard from his mouth often that night.

He was grateful to see Lisette walk back into the kitchen. He excused himself from who he was talking to and found his way to her. "I missed you, love" he whispered into her ear, then nuzzled into her hair.

"Missed you too." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "O and I have something for you when we go back to school." She whispered in his ear. It was a little something she did in art class for him since they're finals were etched glass. "I just hope you'll like it." She smiled.

~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*Graduation*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*
Lisette wore her gown over her dress. The gym was hot since the air conditioning had been shut off and she was still sweating in the dress she wore.

'Damn' She cursed to herself. But It was all soon over and everyone was standing throwing their hats in the air. Lisette smiled as she caught her hat. She looked up to where Daniel had been sitting and smiled up at him.

After it was all over everyone hung in the hallways and the old classrooms to say goodbye to teachers or classmmates or whoever. But mainly the hallways to stay cooler since the rooms were warm and the doors were open in the hallways. She caught Daniel's hand and pulled him down the art hallway as she stripped off her gown to show her dress. She went over to the art case and showed him the etched glass project she did for him.

A heart with barbed wire around it and a dagger through it. "Love Will Last Forever" Below the heart. She smiled and looked at him. "When my teacher gets done with it she's going to give it to me and that is going to be yours.... Consider it a thank you for all the things you have done for me." Leaning up she kissed him gently.

Then she heard an old voice that she wished she hadn't heard....

"Lisette." a cold voice said from the doorway of the art room. "You look lovely, tonight." The man walked across the room to Lisette and the man she was holding on to, his dress shoes making a clicking noise as he walked across to them. "Who are you?" he said, looking at the man in sneakers.

"I'm Daniel, who are you?"

"Dimitri. I'm sure you have heard of me. I'm the love of Lisette's life." he said, pulling Lisette into his arms. "Didn't you know?"

Anger welled up in Daniel. "Don't pull on her like that. She is not yours." he said, pushing Dimitri away from Lisette. "I have heard of you. And I like nothing about you." Daniel said, pushing him again right out the classroom door and into the hallway.

"Aww...How cute. Are you going to protect her from me?" Dimitri said, standing in the middle of the hallway, a small crowd gathering around the two men.

"If you touch her again, I will." Daniel said, standing in front of Lisette so that Dimitri couldn't get to her.

Dimitri reached for her but Daniel swatted his arm away. "Oh...Big man on campus." Dimitri said, then punched Daniel in the stomach. Daniel doubled over, feeling like he might puke, but he didn't and his anger grew stronger towards the other man.

Daniel looked up from his bent over position, anger in his face, and rushed the man in front of him. Forcing the crowd behind Dimitri to part as the Dimitri's body hit the wall of lockers. Dimitri didn't react fast enough and Daniel began to pound into his body. "You...will...leave...Lisette...alone!" Daniel said between breaths.

Dimitri crash to the floor as soon as Daniel stood up to breath. Dimitri was coughing. He looked up at Daniel, no longer a smile on his face. "Yes sir...." he managed between coughs. The crowd around them were laughing and clapping.

Daniel was getting pats on the back as he walked over to Lisette and took her into his arms. "I love you, Lisette," he said, kissing her passionately, not caring who saw them. He was still in pain from the one blow but it would pass.

Lisette kissed him back. "I love you too Daniel." She smiled and put her head on his arm. "You're not too hurt are you?" Her hand holding onto his. Kissing his cheek she smiled.

"And thank you." She whispered in his ear and headed down the hallway back to the gym. "I'll make it up to you later k?" She smiled and winked at him holding his arm as she was grabbed from behind by her father.

"You're coming home."

Lisette rolled her eyes and kicked him in the head. She had been taking self defense classes without anyone knowing but Izzy since it was Izzy's idea.

"YEA!!! GO LIZZIE!!! WHOOP HIS ASS!" Izzy screamed.

Lisette looked at her father. "My home is not with you... It's with Daniel, Izzy, and their parents... You need to back off me or I will have a restraining order put on you." She spat and headed back to Izzy's parents giving them hugs.

Izzy gave her a high five. "YEA! Awesome... Let's head home though."
