The Decision
On Sunday afternoon Maggie and Michonne was trying to come up with a plan to get Rick and Daryl together. “YES” Michonne yelled. “ I finally found a couples only cruise!” She purchased 6 tickets. Glenn and Maggie were sitting on the couch trying to come up with excuses to get Rick and Daryl away for a week. They have been trying to get Rick and Daryl together for a couple years now. Everyone knows that they like each other. But, they are so oblivious to the fact. Michonne has tried double dating. Maggie has tried to get them together alone in a romantic setting. Nothing seems to work.
“Ok! Michonne you are going to tell Daryl that you him and Andrea are going to tell him that you all are going down to Florida for a huge motorcycle show. We are telling Rick we are taking him on a cruise but not which kind.” Maggie told Michonne.

The next day Rick went out to eat with Maggie and Glenn like he normal does on Mondays. They are sitting at their usual table at the dinner. Maggie is asking what he has planned for the first week of summer.
“I really don’t have anything planned. Why?” Rick questions.
“Good! Now you do! We are going on a cruise for a week!” Maggie explained happily.
“Who all is going?” Rick asks.
“Just us three.” Glenn says quietly.
“Ok. What about Michonne? Or Andrea? Or Daryl?” Rick says chewing the inside of his cheek.
“Oh! They are going to a motorcycle show that week!” Maggie giggles.
Rick would not admit it but he was kinda upset that he would not get to see Daryl for a whole week. Now that he was thinking about it he was kinda upset that he would not get to see Daryl lounging around on a beautiful sun deck. Whoa! Where did that thought come from he wondered. He shook his head and finished his meal.
Across town Michonne just found Daryl at his usual spot. The mechanic shop. She was watching Daryl finish up with the mustang he was working on. When he was done he spotted her reclining on the couch that was in the waiting area. He walked over to her.
“Hey ‘Chonne, whatcha doing here? That motorcycle need fixn’ again?” He joked.
“Hey Dare! Excuse you! My motorcycle is in perfect condition. I brought you lunch! We need to talk!” She exclaimed. She handed him the bag of lunch and his chocolate shake.
He led her towards the break room. They sat across from each other. They started digging into their food. There was a few moments of silence between them before Daryl couldn’t take it anymore and finally asked “So, what is so important that you couldn’t wait till I got off?”
“Andrea and I are planning a motorcycle trip for the first week of summer. There is a big motorcycle rally in Florida and we were wondering if you wanted to come with us.” She simply stated.
“Yeah, sure that sounds fun. What about Rick, Maggie and Glenn?” He asked innocently. He started chewing his thumb.
“Oh they have something planned for that week. It is a real shame.” She giggled slightly. They finished their lunch and she left to go meet Andrea at her house. Daryl slowly walked back to the work room thinking over the plans he just agreed to. He was gonna miss Rick that week they were apart but since he made plans with Glenn and Maggie and did not bother to invite him then he was gonna have a good time with ‘Chonne and Andy.
