Ashley was sitting down by the couch with Ty while Spencer cooked dinner. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy. Ty was holding himself up on the coffee table. The family’s favorite show, Spongebob, was playing on the tv. There was a knock on the door.

"I got it baby." Ashley rose from her seat and walked to the front door. She opened it, and revealed Kyla.

"Hey Ky. What’s goin on?" Ashley moved aside and let her sister in. Kyla had something in her hand.

"Have you seen this?" she walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Ashley followed and sat next to her. Ty wobbled around the table and held onto Kyla’s legs for support. Ashley took the peice of paper from Kyla’s hand. In big white letters it read "YES ON PROP 8"

"Yes on Prop 8? What’s Prop 8?" Ashley looked at the back of the paper. "Protect…marriage? Why what’s happening to it?"

"They’re trying to ban gay marriage. Again." Kyla took the paper and gave it to Ty. He took it and began to drool on it. "That’s right, fight the establishment! This is so wrong. How could anyone even think of this?"

"How did I not know about it? Why was I not informed?" Ashley crossed her arms and took a deep breath. "Damn it! Why does something bad always have to happen, just when I get everything straight?!"

Spencer walked into the room. "What’s going on?"

"Proposition hate Spencer. Proposition hate." Ashley took the drool covered paper and handed it to Spencer. She read both sides.

"They can’t be serious…are they really considering this damn thing?!" she crumpled up the paper and threw it.

"Oh, you have no idea. Some old lady gave that to me on the way home. She explained it and everything. quote, ‘we have to protect marriage. If gays are allowed to be amrried, next thing ya know, people will want to be marryin their dogs and goats’ un quote." Kyla shook her head in disgust.

"Ugh! Freekin old people! Like people have goats anymore, what are they thinking?" Ashley got up and stood next to Spencer. She wrapped a arm around her. "Are you okay?" she kissed the top of her forehead.

"No Ash…We’ve planned this for so long and now…if we get married, and this..this thing passes, what’ll happen?" she rubbed her eyes with her hands and took a deep breath.

"It’ll be okay babe..I’m not gonna let this happen. We’re getting married, and we’re staying married until one of us dies." Ashley kissed lips and hugged her.

"Don’t worry about it Spencer. This is the gay state. It’s not gonna pass." Kyla picked up Ty and put him in her lap.

"Yeah I hope so.." Spencer pulled away from Ashley and went back into the kitchen to finish cooking.
