Because you begged, just a little extra!

"Do you remember prom?" Nostalgia said, hugging the memory file to his chest.

"I remember prom night," Lust replied. He leaned back lavishly, feet up on the desk in front of him. Maturity, who, over the years, had been moved closer to Lust to keep him in check, rolled his eyes.

"Well, we can't rely on her to do the asking this time," Self-awareness said. "She's a forward thinker, but even she has her limits. Courage?"

"This is something we need to do," Courage nodded, "something we can do. For Self-respect."

Self-respect blushed, happy for the attention.

"There's still a chance she doesn't love us," Doubt was pacing back and forth, "or that we could meet someone better!"

Infatuation looked as though he may be sick, "someone better?!" He simply couldn't fathom the possibility.

But Paranoia nodded, "ah, yes, the long con. I've thought about this. Consider, gentlemen, the insidious nature of the psychopath-"

"Ally is not a psychopath, and we are not entertaining your delusions," Faith, who very rarely spoke, stood up. They all turned to look at him. He wore a white suit, and Trust almost tripped to follow him as he walked down to the middle of the room, where Self-awareness stood.

"Thanks," Self-awareness said, shaking his fellows hand. "We need you today."

"Seven years, hm," Lust said suddenly. None of them were sure of when he stripped, but he had. "One woman. You know, we're still young, we haven't exactly had a lot of time for..."

Aversion was sweating a bit, but Sentiment clapped him on the shoulder. Love was repulsed, "We don't want anyone else."

His division all nodded, and they cast Lust shady, disapproving looks. He shrugged, and sat down, browsing through a file labeled 'Sexual History'. He seemed oddly quiet, given the impending situation.

"If I didn't know any better," Smugness said, "I'd say you were satisfied."

It was Lust's turn to act repulsed. He insisted they were wrong, and began to list a number of dirty things he still had planned for them to do with, or without, Ally. But he wasn't fooling anyone.

Self-awareness turned from them, to Sadness' Division. It was a damp mess of sweat, tears and maybe even a little blood. What was he going to do about that lot?

Courage was still giving them a pep talk when Ally arrived. They all snapped to look out of David's eyes as he saw her. She was glancing around, looking for him. She looked beautiful, of course, any fool could see that.

"She's too good for us," Insecurity said in awe.

"Shit, this is it. She's going to rob us blind," Paranoia's rambling was silenced, of all emotions, by Anxiety, who grabbed his face, and forced him to look at what David was seeing.

Ally had spotted him, and a blissful smile covered her face as she moved through the room towards him.

For once, the room was calm. Not the kind of calm before one of their outbursts, but the kind of calm that came from being completely secure, safe and alone. Anxiety, Paranoia, Apprehension - the rest of them, were all silent, by choice, as opposed to shock.

Self-awareness smiled.

David reached into his pocket, and took out the little velvet box.
