This is the final of my four pictures for Valentines Day, and I couldn't think of a proper title for it... True Love sounded really corny, Devotion sounded... odd... and this title isn't much better. IT'S HAPPILY MARRIED LOVE! :'D I was going to draw Phi, but... I decided to do a little silly write-up and this as well. (P.S. Look! Tasmira's her correct size!)

- - -

Phi knew it wasn't their anniversary, but it stuck out in his mind. 4 years ago on this day, he had proposed to Tasmira out in that grotto on the lake in the Clan Lands. It had been one of his more romantic moments, so he was willing to celebrate himself being... romantic.

The chocolate shop seemed like the perfect place to go, though in retrospect, he realized it had been a dumb choice for what he wanted. He walked in the front door, looking over all the brightly wrapped crappy chocolates screaming love and tackiness. He browsed right by it, looking at the custom made chocolates, but wasn't able to settle on anything.

"Can I help you?" the salesdragon asked.

"Yea, do you have cherry pie?"

The salesdragon gave him a long look. "No, sir," he said when it was apparent that Phi wasn't being a jerk.

"Well, crap. I want to get something nice. What do you have with cherries in it?"

"Well, we have these chocolate-covered cherries..."

"Naw, do you have anything more... pastry-like?"

"Like what, sir?"

"Like... cherry... cookies?" He thought about it. "No, wait, that sounds gross. What about cherry pie?"

"Sir," the clerk was getting annoyed.

"Oh, that's right, sorry, sorry." He wandered over to the tacky Valentines Day boxes. "Do you have any of these boxes left?"

"No, we used them all for those chocolates."

Phi cocked an eye at him. "You... don't have any -boxes- left?"

"We do," he said, showing him a fat little white box with the company's name on it.

Phi had been looking to get four or six nice chocolates, this box was big enough for ten. He shook his head. "No, something like this or this?" He showed the other Valentines boxes.

"No, sir, we used them all for those."

"Well, there's a pile of them, and the chocolates I want to get are more expensive. Can't I just use this box and you sell these somewhere else?"

The clerk look annnoyed. "No, sir. But you could buy the box, than buy other ones to put in it."

Now it was Phi's turn to look annoyed. "Nevermind," he grouched, than made a point of wandering around the store to look at everything again, loudly talking about bad customer service and how the customer is always right and when the customer is willing to spend more money than a box is selling for, they should be able to get the stupid box. Finally, he stopped in front a box of a dozen chocolate roses... sort of. It was more... chocolate roses in gold foil, rather than individual roses. "Do these travel well?"

"Sir?"

"It's just, I have to get these back to the castle... It's quite the flight, are they going to melt in the process or something?"

"Well, people have traveled with our chocolates before, sir, and there was never a problem."

Phi nodded, and picked up one of the boxes. "Do you have a pretty box for theeeesssssseeee?"

The clerk shook his head. "We used them all up on the others."

Phi grouched to himself some more, wandering from the chocolate roses to the display. -Ugh,- he thought. -I know she loves cherry pie, but it slips my mind whether she likes chocolate covered cherries... I'm sure she had to like chocolate, but cherries just seem so fitting... But if she doesn't like them...- His brain continued on in this fashion until the clerk waved some bubble wrap at him. "Sir? We can wrap it in this..."

When Phi returned home it was late. Tasmira was already in bed. Phi grouched to himself, tossing the bag holding the chocolates on the night stand and climbing into bed. Stupid chocolate shop not making pies, he thought miserably, than fell asleep.

Phi woke up the next morning to the rustle of foil and chewing. He knuckled his eyes, sitting up and looking for Tasmira. He found her perched on the nightstand with her back to him. "Hey, morning... what're you doin?"

She turned to look at him sheepishly, hiding something behind her back, her cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk's. "Hey, what're you eating?" he asked.

Tasmira offered him a half-eaten piece of chocolate wrapped in foil. For a moment he was confused before he remembered... "Oh... Happy Kinda Anniversary..." He grinned dumbly. "The chocolate shop didn't have any pies..." And than it all made sense to him. Chocolate shop. Pies. Well, DUH.

Tasmira's mouth was full but she fluttered over beside him and he wrapped his arms around her. Her kisses tasted like chocolate.
