>     Natalie couldn't remember when she had been
> this excited about a date.  Well... maybe date was
> too
> strong of a word.  After all, she was going with
> Nick.
> There were times when she had no idea, exactly what
> their relationship was. Natalie shook herself.  She
> refused to think about that now.  Looking in the
> mirror for a final check, Natalie heard a knock at
> the door.
>     Walking to the door, Natalie ran her hands down
> her dress, smoothing imaginary wrinkles.  It was a
> burgundy gown with a slit to the thigh on the right
> side.  Secretly she was hoping it would knock Nick's
> socks off.  Natalie opened the door and felt her
> heart
> fall quickly to the floor and come back up. 
> Standing in the door was Nick, but 'oh how different
> he
> looked.'  Gone was the cop and in his place was a
> very handsome and debonair man.  Nick was wearing a
> black tux with tails.  In his hands he had a cane
> and
> hat.
>     Nick felt his heart beat once as he beheld the
> vision before him.  Natalie was beautiful.  The
> burgundy gown accented the highlights in her hair
> and showed every curve to advantage.  "Nat, you look
> splendid.  Are you ready for our evening?"
> Natalie mentally shook herself.  "Thank you, Nick. 
> You look wonderful too.  Let me get my wrap and we
> can go."  The ride to the theatre was brief and they
> quickly found their seats. Once the show started,
> they
> were both lost in the
> story as it unfolded. Natalie felt goose bumps as
> she
> heard Lucy sing to Hyde.
>  
> Lucy:  I feel your fingers, cold on my shoulder
> your chilling touch as it runs down my spine.
> Watching your eyes, as they invade my soul,
> forbidden pleasures, I'm afraid to make mine.
>   
> At the touch of you hand,
> at the sound of your voice,
> at the moment your eyes meet mine.
> I am losing my mind,
> I am losing control,
> fighting feelings I can't define. 
>  
> Hyde:  It's a sin with no name.
> Lucy:  like a hand in a flame.
> Both: and our senses proclaim, it's a dangerous
> game.
>  
>     Nick was stunned as he heard Hyde respond to
> Lucy.
>  
> Hyde:  A darker dream, that has no ending,
> That's so unreal, you believe that it's true!
> A dance of Death, out of a mystery tale,
> the frightened princess, doesn't know what to do!
>  
> Will the ghosts go away,
> Will she will them to stay,
> Either way there's not a way to win!
>  
>  Natalie snuck a quick glance at Nick, as Lucy
> continued  her part in the song.
>  
> Lucy:  All I know is I'm lost,
> and I'm counting the cost,
> my emotions are in a spin!
> I don't know who to blame.
>  
> Hyde:  It's a crime and a shame
> Lucy: but it's true all the same,
> Both:  it's a dangerous game!
>  
> Nick was afraid to look at Natalie.  He continued to
> watch as both Hyde and Lucy sang.
>  
> Both:  No one speaks,
> Not one word!
> But what words are in our eyes!
>  
> Silence speaks,
> Loud and clear!
> (simultaneously)
> Lucy:  All the words we don't want to hear!
> Hyde:  All the words we want to hear!
>  
> Both:  At the touch of a hand
> at the sound of your voice,
> at the moment your eyes meet mine,
> I am out of my mind
> I am out of control
> full of feelings I can't describe.
>  
> Lucy:  It's a sin with no name
>  
> Hyde: No remorse and no shame,
> Fire, Fury and FLAME!
>  
> Lucy:  And the devil's to blame!
>  
> Both:  and the angels proclaim!
> (softly)  It's a dangerous... game.
>  
>    Nick and Natalie continued to watch the play. 
> Each lost in their own thoughts.  Natalie couldn't
> believe how accurately the song described her
> feelings
> toward Nick.  Maybe it was time to take their
> relationship to the next level.  Nick  couldn't
> believe  how those words  were like a mirror to his
> soul.  He loved Natalie.  But he was so afraid of
> what
> might happen that he had never acted on those
> feelings.  
>    The play ended and the lights came back up in the
> theatre.  After a couple of curtain calls, people
> began to rise and leave the theatre.  Natalie and
> Nick turned to each other and at the same time said,
> "We need to talk."  They  smiled at each other. 
> "You
> first Nat,"  Nick said.  Natalie took a deep breath
> and quickly, before she lost all courage said,
> "Nick,
> I love you.  I didn't mean for it to happen.  From
> the
> first time you sat up on my examining table I think
> I
> loved you.  I just didn't want to admit it.  Every
> time that I hear your voice or feel your touch, I
> want
> more."  Natalie lowered her eyes, blushing slightly.
> 'There she had said it'  "Natalie, look at me." 
> Nick
> said.  Slowly Natalie raised her eyes.  Nick reached
> out and took her hand.  "Natalie, I love you too. 
> From the first time I saw you in the morgue.  So
> brave.  So beautiful.  I have kept denying my
> feelings for you.  I am so afraid of hurting you. 
> Afraid of losing you.  I thought it would be better
> if
> I kept my distance, but it hasn't worked.  I fall in
> love with you more and more each day.  But," 
> Natalie's heart dropped at that word.  'Please no,
> don't say you are leaving, I couldn't stand that,'
> she
> pleaded silently.  Nick continued, "there are things
> we need to discuss if we are to go on."  Natalie
> leaned over and lightly touched Nick's face.  "I
> know.
>  I am willing to do whatever I need to, to be with
> you. Forever."  Nick  bent down and touched his lips
> to Natalie's.  As their kiss became passionate, all
> their doubts melted away.  Yes there were problems
> ahead, but together they would face them and they
> would be together, forever. 
>  
> Ok, a little sappy at the end, but I am a true
> N&Npacker.  Feed back welcome, flames will be used
> to
> light my candles.
> Phylis:  N&Npacker, Knightie and yes, Dark Knightie.
