Val and Fran were sitting on the couch of the sheffield mansion eating Mallowmars reading Enter Whining by Fran Drescher. Fran looked up, "Val this book is so Fabu!" She said winking at the camera.

"I know!" Val exclaimed. "You know she really reminds me of someone, but I can't put my finger on who it is." Val tapped fran with her index finger to get her to look up from the book. Fran smiled wide. "Wha?"

"Nothing I was just thinking about how pathetic our lives are. I mean this girl, she has a life! She's an actress and everything!

Fran gazes down looking quite depressed.

"Whats the matter Fran?" Val asked.

"Oh I dunno Val," She said taking a bite of the mallowmar she was holding. Maybe you're right. We have no man, no life, I mean look at me! My life was great until I started working in a bridal shop in flushing queens till my boyfriend kicked me out in one of those crushing scenes. I mean, what was I to do? Where was I to go? I was out on my fanny..."

"Maybe shopping for a new dress would cheer you up."

"Oh Val, I don't think so, not this time. The only thing that could cheer me up right now is a gorgeous man with lots of money who would just call out my name and ask me on a date..."

Maxwell walked in. "Miss Fine..."

Fran whirled around. "What's up?" she inquired.

Maxwell hesitated and finally dragged the words out. "Miss Fine, I had reservations for dinner for two, but C.C. couldn't come, she said she had to do something."

"Miss Babcock cancelled a date with YOU?" she said woth one eyebrow raised.

Fran later went into Max's office to talk to him.

"Oh Mr. Sheffield," Fran said. "Yes?" he replied. "well I was thinking," she started, "I think..."

"you need to get a new dress?" he finished for her.

"Uh-" she paused,"Yeah."

"don't bother"

"Wha?"

"Go upstairs to your room I think you'll find a surprise in there."

"wha..." she stopped and looked into the air with one eyebrow raised she was in deep thought 'I better no ask any questions. I'll probably end up ruining it for myself.'She nodded and smiled..."never mind" she stated. "I'll be in my room if you need me..." she slowly exited..."please say you need me" she muttered after she got into the hallway.

"Oh Nilsey...the best butler in the whole wide world..."she called from her room.

"Oh Miss Fine, what is it?"he called back from her hallway.

"What is going on with Maxwell? He bought me a new dress!"

"Would that not be a good thing Miss Fine?"

"No it is," She comes out of the room in a skin-tight short silver dress with braided black straps and a small 'Chanel' sign on the bottom."just look at it!"

Niles shoved the coat he was holding in his mouth.

"What?" she asked. "No good?"

"Oh no, Miss Fine, very very good! Do you not think it's a sign?"

"Well I don't wanna know what he's thinkin if this is a sign...actually I take that back she said with a smile...yeah, actually I do!'

"That makes two of us!"

"Oh Boy...am I in for it..."

Niles leaves.

"Oh you have NO idea!" he muttered to himself.

Fran made her way gracefully down the staricase in her new dress all made up and ready to go on theeir date.

Max and Niles's jaws drop open.

"WOW" they exclaim in unison.

Fran walked over to Niles and put her mouth close to his ear. "Have you let Mss babcock out yet?"

Niles went over to the closet to get their coats and pulled out Fran's black oat where she saw C.C.in the corner with tape over her mouth making noises. "MMMMMM...Muls...mur min mig muble..." C.C. managed to get out. Fran shook her head. Niles turned to Fran "you understood that?"

"Uh-huh. she says 'oooooh Niles you're in big trouble."

Fran looked at Niles as if she wanted him to let her go.

C.C. shook her head. Then she looked at Fran, "m mill mot met moo..."

Niles cut her off. "Well at least we know she's talking normally. I mean the woman said moo!"

Fran gave him a smirk and looked back at C.C.

"I mill mot met moo mo mon m mate mim mam."

"Oh Yeah? You just watch me!" She looked at Niles. "I decided you should leave her in there."

"Oh? Why the sudden change of heart Miss Fine?"

"She said she wouldn't let me go on a date with Mr. Sheffield, and I am just not gonna let that little you know what ruin my night!"

"Oh. Yes. we should definatley leave her in there!"

They slammed the closet door shut.

"What was all that about?" Asked Max.

"Oh, nothing Sir."

"Niles...Come here."

"Oh Damn!" he whispered to himself.

"Niles! I told you I wasn't really ever going on a date with C.C.! I just set it up!"

"Oh, right,but Sir, you spoil all the fun for me!"

"And by the Way Niles, how did C.C. know I was going out wih Fran tonight anyway?"

Niles looked down,anxiously waiting for a good answer to pop into his head.

"Uh...I think she must have found out because I needed to torture her."

He held his hands in front of his face on which a very scared look had appeared.

"Oh Niles, Must you be so mean to her?"

"Oh Yes Sir, My life would be empty without her, thamkfully her life is empty too."

Fran was waiting anxiously at the door and finally shouted "Yoo-hooo? Mr. Sheffield? Are We gonna leave or what?"

"Yes Miss Fine, I'm coming. Niles, I'll deal with you later."

"Oh Boy." Niles gasped. He walked over to the closet. Look what you've gotten me into Miss Babcock. "

"M-MMMMMM-MMMMMMMM!"

"What? Oh sorry, I can't understand you . I'll just have to wait until Miss Fine gets home to translate for me." He closed the door and watched Fran and Max pull out of the driveway in the stretch limo.

Fran and Max were sitting in a fancy resturaunt talking when all of a sudden there was a pause. "They looked up from their dinners and into eachother's eyes.

"Fran, I love you."

"Wha?"Her eyes started to fill with tears of joy.

"I said, I love you."

"Hold on a second buster! You've done this to me before. Do you promise not to take it back this time?"

"Yes I do."

"Wow! Ok then, I love you too!" She was over whelmed now. Tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Fran, I Love you and I want to make sure that you will always stay with us. The Children love you and I could never bare to spend a day without you."

"Oh Mr. Sheffield!" She could no longer control her emotions.

"Calll me Max. Oh and there's one last thing." he fumbled around in his suit pocket for the ring box."

"Yes Max? What is it?"

He found it and pulled it out. "Fran, Will you marry me?"

"Oh Maxwell! Yes I love you and I would love to marry you!"

They went into a long kiss. They finally pulled themselves away from eachother. Fran was trembling from excitement.

"Fran, lets go home...I bet the kids are asleep by now!

"Ooh Ha Maxwell!"
