Yay for yoga! And I can't type the word "yoga" for some reason...

*snort* It is so easy.

[beep1012]

*The yoga instructor should arrive within the hour. She called and said there was a little delay. I got dressed for the workout, while Dan talked on his cell phone to a friend. I couldn't stop, but i decided to eaves drop on his convo. He couldn't see me.*

Dan: It is great here.
Dan: Oh her? She is OK. I don't think that hypnosis worked. I only pretended to like her.
Dan: yeah? haha
Dan: I tricked her to come here and then I am thinking of running away from here tomorrow morning. Emma is picking me up.
Dan: What!!! No I don't like her. *He sounded unsure with himself about that.*
Dan: Well I have to get off and get ready for a yoga workout. Bye
*I stopped in my tracks and felt tears coming on. I dropped what I was holding, which was my yoga mat and ran out of the room sobbing. Dan must have heard me, because he called after me.*

This is it for right now. Ihave to go run some errands.

[beep1012]

*I was running the fast as I can.*

Dan: Sarah!!! Wait!!
Sarah: *breathing deep and catching breath* What?
Dab: We will be late for our class if you don;t come back. Why did you run and cry?
Sarah: Oh nothing. Just thinking and had a ...............panic attack.
Dan: Yoga should help with that. Come on. *he smiled and I didn't feel that much better.*
*I walked back with him.*

*Cut to the class*
Instructor: Breath deep with every pose. *We were in the process of doing sun salutations* There you go.
Instructor: Now lets move into the warrior pose an dthen to the warrior 2 pose. *This is one of my faves. I looked over at Dan. He looked so hot doing these poses and he had no shirt on because he was sweating.*
*We then moved to some balancing poses, standing, and then some difficult inversions. That is were you really twist.*
Instructor: Now we will end this in a final meditation. Now I want you to sit up straight and crossed legged. Close the eyes and start to relax. Inhale deep and then as you exhale slowly say om.
*Me and Dan did what she said. I heard Dan beside me say om.*
Dan: *heard him breath in and then he breathed out slowly* oommmmmm
Sarah: *I did the same thing. We did it at the same time.*

*After the class*
Dan: Well I hope you are feeling better.
Sarah: I am *Still unsure*
*Knock at the door*
Sarah: I'll go get it.
*I opened it and.....*
Danlovahs walked in: Surprise!!!!
*I was dumbfounded and shocked.*

[Rados]

Oh man, Dan is turning out to be mean!
And you're saved by the Lovahs! *par-tay!*

[beep1012]

I know he sounds mean, but the story isn't over yet. *hint hint*

[beep1012]

*Molly, Kate, Rachel, Rhonna, Nicole, and Sean came in to the room.*

Kate: We decided to stop by thanks to Dan.
Nicole: He gave us a reservation and a spa package.
Sarah: I see. It is good to see you guys.
Rachel: How has your stay been here so far?
Sarah: It's been good.
Dan: I need to step out for a minute.
Sean: I'll go with you.
Dan: OK
*The boys stepped out of the room*
Sarah: I need to talk to you guys about something.
Kate: What?
Sarah: I heard Dan on the phone this afternoon and he said he pretended to be hypnotized. He really doesn't like me. He said he is leaving in the morning. Emma is picking him up.
Rhonna: Emma? That little *****.
Rachel: Rhonna I never here you say those words.
Rhonna: Sorry.
Nicole: Do you think we should contact that therapist again?
Sarah: No. Let's just see how things go tonight.

*The boys came back*
Dan: So what were you girls talking about?
Molly: Nothing. Just asking Sarah how her stay has been.
Dan: That's good.
Sarah: We need to talk Dan.
Dan: Ok. We will be back.

*We walked to a lobby*
Dan: First before we talk, I want to ask you something. Why did you start liking me?
Sarah: I was going through a tough time. *So I told him how I started liking him before my grandpa died and then became a fan after he died. And also with all the hoopla with 9/11. Also with how I was committing suicide , but he was the reason why I didn't like to do it.*

*After I was done telling him this I started bawling*
Sarah: I really miss my grandpa!!! *I was crying really hard now. Dan grabs me and gives me a hug. I cried in his shoulders*
Dan: I didn't know I changed your life. I didn't know I was the reason you didn't go on with your suicide plans.
*He seemed very truthful there*
Dan: Let's go back to the room now OK?
Sarah: Ok. *I wiped my nose and eye on the back of my hand and got up with Dan. I suddenly forgot what I was going to say to Dan*

[beep1012]

*We then we got something to eat and then came back to the room*
Sarah: I am getting really tired.
Dan: Ok. Your friends are still here to visit.
Molly: It's OK. We will be here all weekend.
Rhonna: Sweet dreams Sarah.
Sarah: Thanks.
*All the Danlovahs left to go to their rooms.*
Dan: I am going to be in the living room OK?

Sarah: OK. *I fell asleep imediately. I woke up 2 hours later to find Dan yelling at someone.*
Dan: Look Emma!! Forget about picking me up! I change my mind!
Dan: What? Yes I do!! I really do! I started feeling like this earlier tonight.
Dan: What made me change my mind? I love her!!! *And then he hangs up and throws his cell right on the sofa and starts crying.*
Sarah: Dan? What's wrong. I woke up to some yelling.
Dan: Nothing is wrong. I feel like I have changed. You know that hypnosis did not work. I was planning on leaving with Emma until we had that talk and while you was sleeping I started to think about what you said. I then came into the bedroom and looked at you for a while, while I was thinking. You looked so beautiful. I then started to have these feelings in my..........you know.
I love you, Sarah!!!!
*He seemed truthful because he looked right into my eyes as he said that*
sarah: I love you too. I will call that therapist tomorrow and talk with him about what happened. Ok?
Dan: Ok
*We hugged and kissed and I went back to bed feeling so much better*

[Rados]

*We hugged and kissed and I went back to bed feeling so much better*

Dan's turning out to be not too awful bad now.

I know. He is learning a lesson. In fact we all are. I will explain more on that later in the story.

[beep1012]

A little something for the next installment.

*I woke up to the smell of coffee. Dan obvilously made some coffee for us. It smelled good. I put some vegan French Vanilla soy cream in it, since I am vegan. Dan put milk and sugar in his.*

Dan: Had a goodnights sleep?
Sarah: Yes
Dan: I hope i didn't surprise you with that revelation last night.
Sarah: At first you did. Then I am OK with it now.
Dan: Good.
*knock knock*
Kelly: Sorry I wasn't here last night. As soon as I got to this hotel I started feeling bad. I layed down and took a nap. Sarah I heard what happened. *Looks at Dan* Oh then nevermind.
Sarah: It's OK Kelly. We talked about it.
Kelly: And?
Sarah: and....well
Dan: I love her and that hypnosis didn't make it happen.
Kelly: Well that's good.
Sarah: yeah.
Kelly: I am going to go find the others and see if they are up.
Dan: OK, nice to meet you again.
Sarah: crap!! I need to call that therapist up and have him come over.
Dan: You do that. Here is my cell.
Sarah: thanks! *The Shrink said he would be over in a few minutes. I called down to the main lobby and they said they would have him in, but is not giving him any service unless he pays. He is here to visit the spa clients.*
Sarah: Well we need to clean this place up.
Dan: OK * So we cleaned up the place.*

[beep1012]

*Later when the Shrink came.*

Shrink: I heard about your problems.
Dan: Yes. At first I didn't think I was hypnotized, then I thought of pretending to be.
Shrink: mmmmm Anything to say Sarah?
Sarah: Yes, I felt horrible when I eaves drop on him the other night......
Dan: You what? I thought I trusted you.
Sarah: Dan please. I was getting ready and heard you anywhere I was. You know how sound carries. *whew*
Dan: Sorry about that.
Shrink: Well there a simple test to see if that hypnosis really did work.
Sarah: What?
Shrink: You both are going to be hypnotized again right now and we will see.
Dan: OK

*He tells us how hypnosis can have people telling truths and stuff like that. Of course people can lie, but most people don't when they are in a trance.*

*five minutes later. We were both sitting in a chair side-by-side.*

Shrink: Now I want you both to stare at this pocketwatch that I am swinging in front of you both. You will notice your eyes are getting heavy. With every swing, it's getting more heavy. So heavy it feels like they could close any minute, but don't close them now. Start to breath deeply and relax and keep the eyes on the watch. Now when I snap my fingers you both will close the eyes imediately. Ready? OK NOW!! *fingers snap* *My eyes close just like that*

Shrink: Now breath deeply and relax all the muscles. Sarah, are you deeply relaxed?
Sarah: Yes. *In a hypnotized voice*
Shrink: Good. Now Dan, are you deeply relaxed?
Dan: Yes *In that same hypnotized voice*
Shrink: Good. Now I am going to ask you both some questions.
Shrink: Dan, Did you really pretended last time?
Dan: Yes.
Shrink: How do you feel about her?
Dan: I love her with all my heart. *In a relaxed voice of course*
Shrink: Sarah, how did you feel when you heard what he was going to do?
Sarah: I felt hurt and sad. *In that hypnotized voice again.*
Shrink: So Dan, you started liking her after you talked things through?
Dan: Yes
Shrink: Sarah, do you love him?
Sarah: Yes.
Shrink: I see. When I snap my fingers, you both will not remember being hypnotized and you will wake up feeling so much better. 1..........2............3
*snap!*

* I woken up feeling confused. What had happened?*

[beep1012]

Sarah: What happened?
Shrink: I hpnotized you both and asked some questions about your friendship.
Sarah: Oh.
Dan: *Stretching* Well did this test work?
Shrink: Of course it did. This is what I thought all alone. *he looks at me now*He pretended to be hypnotized and found love by himself. Love is no game (hence the title), Sarah. You can't make someone force you to love. I knew that hypnosis wasn't going to work. I rarely use it on clients, unless for stess management. You have to find love on your own. I mainly used hypnosis as a tool for learning. You can't depend on it. Understand?
Sarah: Yes.
Dan: So I did this on my own?
Shrink: That is what you said. Nothing can force us. Love is in our hearts and that is why you changed your mind. You decided to love all our your own.
Dan: I see. Sarah, I know we only knew each other for a few days, but will you marry me?
*I feel like I am in a dream*

Yeah. It isn't over with yet. After I am done, I will email you all a copy (HPANA people). It seems like yo are the only one reading it. I post it on DTD and hardly anyone notices it. I alway ask people that I added it on. Now with Rachel's everyone was talking about it. I feel slightly left out.

[Rados]

I know...no one gave a crap about mine except for you and nicole.

[seanfan1]

That is so cute Sarah!! I can't wait for the wedding!! I hope Emma doesn't try anything to ruin things!!

[beep1012]

What a good idea for the sequel, Nicole. Emma ruining things. mmmmm not bad. The wedding will be in the sequel.

[Rados]

Wedding? Whoa...

[beep1012]

admin said:

Wedding? Whoa...

Yes wedding. I will update this story (well finish it) later today.

[beep1012]

*I was so taken aback at that.*

Sarah: You want me to marry you?
Dan: Yes.
Sarah: We hardly know each other. We knew each other for about three days.
Dan: Look I know when I see the girl of my dreams. I know when I see the one I will spend the rest of my life with. Why else was I so sour to you? I was scared. I knew you was the one. I knew. SO I pretended I didn't like you. I lied about starting to like you last night. Yes I also pretended to be hypnotized. After that first yoga class and after I saw you cried when you got to your car, I cried. I knew I screwed up. All along I liked you and I knew. Sorry, about this. So what is your answer?
*It took me about a half hour to think it through. Dan got up to go to the bathroom, because he grabbed a magazine and went, then he came back to see my answer.*
Sarah: Yes *I said in a low voice*
Dan: Pardon me?
Sarah: Yes!! I will marry you.
*He comes running to me and gives me a hug and a five minute french kiss.*

*later that evening*
Rhonna: So what is it you want to tell us Sarah?
*We were all in the lobby hanging out*
Sarah: Me and Dan has decided to marry.
*Everyone gasped*
Kelly: Really? Wow
Molly: That was so quick.
Dan: I love Sarah and she loves me. I know this marriage will work out. The wedding is next week.
Sean: Dude, Dan that ia fast.
Dan: I know. I want to hurry this up.
Nicole: Well good luck to you both.
Dan: I have already made plans for our honeymoon. We are going to Cambodia. They have this nice spa that is a bed and breakfast. I think Sarah will like it.
*Of I will. I had already seen stuff about it. The bed and breakfast, even though I am not Buddhist, has a cute little temple next to it for some quiet meditation. I had heard rumors that it is haunted, but I am not believeing it. Imagine a bed and breakfast being haunted. Yeah right.*

That is it people. Story is done.
