I wasn't satisfied with the way "The Dummy Twin's" skipped all the things that would of made great scenes! Another part I didn't understand is when C.C recorded his proposal she was ordering her food. But when Niles got home and told Fran, C.C said "Stop asking me, I won't marry, I don't like you, and call the waitor my breast are dry." How can she have her food already? Hmmm...odd isn't it? Well I tried to take care of that the best I could too. There are lines in here from the show, so no one sue me!

C.C was still laughing while Fran tried to convince her one little dinner date with Niles wouldn't hurt. Though the first proposal was a quick decision 'What was the man suppose to do? He tried to insult her but his feelings overroad it all, as it usally does when it's love' "Come on, Miss Babcock don't you wanna hear them three special little words?"
C.C looked at her and stopped laughing "What 'I love you'?" she asked
'Now this is interesting. Why would I want to be loved by a big fat
butler? All though no one has ever confessed to loving me before, not even
my own damn mother!'
"No...'Table four two.'" Fran said looking at her.
Niles moping into the room slowly, his heart was sunken all the way to his feet and his eyes were lowered not even noticing C.C was in the room. Looking helpless and totally defeated. He walked straight over to the table sitting down in a chair and let his head bang hard against it as he lowered it on the table. Fran could not stand by and watch him be this way 'For heaven sakes it was her best friend getting torn apart from this women and she couldn't see love for anything. Like she could ever love someone. Hah! Oy, Miss Evil over there probably had a house drop on her a couple times thats why she always up on alcohol, paying huge shrink bill's, and still floating on prozac!' She stood for it no longer. "Get over there talk to him! You did this to him!" she kept whispering pushing C.C towards him.
C.C held on the counter as best she could all though Fran was pushing pretty hard considering she still had baby Frank and Caryn in her arms. Then she finally let go and was inches away from the table, she looked back at Fran who motioned towards her to say something and now! 'Look at him so pathetic and domestic, Why are you toturing yourself and him, like you had plan's tonight, girl you ain't never got plan's unless it's business with Maxwell and even then he is to busy with his wonder wife! All the man want's to do it have dinner with your lonely ass, like you haven't went out with him before! Hah, try pulling a size of a watermelon out of something the size of a pin hole it would be alot faster! All right what the hell this man has one shot to impress me. She walked up to him and looked down at him. "Niles?"
"What?! You want to laugh in my face again, well to bad I'm not going to give you the chance!" Niles said shooting his eyes up at her directly.
C.C rolled her eyes looking toward Fran but she just kept motioning her to 'Tell him and do it now!' "Niles I thought about it and........ she paused
Niles got up from the table and saw a spark of hope may be one in a zillion chance what she was about to say was what he was looking for. "Uhh....I thought I said what....." he looked at her "What?"
"I will...go...with...you..tonight." C.C managed to get out slowly and painfully.
"Is this some trick?" Niles eyed her suspiciously
C.C looked at Fran again for some help. "Nanny Fine?"
"Uh no Niles, we talked about it, and she will go with you tonight.." Fran smiled assuring her best friend
"Well....alright.." Niles said walking out of the room backwards still eyeing the two ladies as if this was joke on candid camera or america's funniest home video's. But with stupendously feeling he finally get's a chance to impress her he went out as soon as he could to prepare.
"...and you will go and have a good time!" Fran added eyeing C.C as Niles left the room.
"Don't push it Nanny Fine! I said yes and thats it!" C.C looked at her
Fran didn't like her tone. "Alright you listen to me...that man is Handsome, Intelligent, Superior, and deserves alot better then you, and if you don't go with him on this date and treat him with the respect a man like him deserves I'll......" she was cut off by the two babies starting to cry. She rocked the babies and looked back up at C.C who she had cornered up against the counter. "Your just lucky these babies need changed!" she said stomping off.
C.C shook it off, she never saw Nanny Fine that pissed off before.
'Alright so I cut the man a break' she thinks taking a deep breathe
grabbing her cup of coffee and returning to the office, to finish up her
business work before tonight unveiled.
A limousine encountered a red traffic light before getting to the Sheffield home, making it a few minutes late the driver apologizes to Niles as he steps up to the door and the driver opens it for him. Niles tell's him he will be accompanied by a female tonight and told him where to go to pick her up.
C.C spotted the limo heading towards her from down the street and quickly began perparing herself for anything, proposal's, insults, death threats...ect.
Before reaching her apartment Niles pushes a button and the privacy window comes down. "Let me get the door for her." he tells the driver
"Anything you say." The driver winks at him and the privacy window goes
back up.
Niles steps out of the limo from the other side and stumbles almost
to the ground walking towards her, he was so nervous, he handed her a corsage,
and tried to open the limo door and it wouldn't, 'Damn, It was locked!'
he told himself as C.C stood there shaking her head letting out a small
laugh.
Tapping her foot becoming impatient, Niles darted back around to the other side almost falling on his face for the second time. Practicly crawling over the top of the limo. "Sorry." he said diving head first into the limo opening it from the inside. C.C opened the door "Wait!" he yelled as he got out and once again fumbled his way towards her. C.C shakes her head and steps inside. 'A bloody blind man good of done a better job, you fool, now calm down, you cannot blow it!' he told himself shutting the door and walking calming to the other side and getting inside. 'A sense of humor also points to a key quilty all men desire in women: the ability to appreciate what makes us men or so its seems. He adored that kind of women who could chuckle when he broke something, stumbled or fell, Little mistakes that would happen everytime a man trying not to blow a perfectly good night would make.'
The driver began again on his voyage to the restaurant without happening to make only two stops for red lights, he was making excellent time considering he was late a few minutes.
Intoxicated by the wonderful scent of C.C's perfume he felt light headed
'He could tell her perfume was allure and what a perfect night she
chose to wear it to didn't she?' he thought to himself looking at her.
"You want something to drink? Champagne?"
"No, no I'm going to stay sober tonight." C.C said to him looking out of the dark tented window trying not to look at him to much. She just kept staring out of the window as if she was looking at something other then the blackness of the window which made it impossible to look out of.
"Thats a first." he whispered commenting.
"What?" C.C turned her head towards him
"Nothing." he said looking away
"I hope he can drive just a bit faster I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!" C.C said
Niles held back with every strength and muscle in his mouth could hold he even clamped his hand over his mouth not to speak 'It was if she was testing him for insults just to start a fight.' instead he took a deep breathe letting her words go pushed down the button and the privacy window come down. "Could we go a bit faster?"
"Sure thing." The driver said as the window went back up again and the limo picked up speed. It seemed they had got there within seconds after asking him to go faster.
"Is it okay if I let myself out or do you want to stumble and fall your way over here tothe door and do it for me?" C.C smiled turning her head at him as they reached restaurant.
Niles let out alittle laugh got out of the limo and slowly walked to the other side this time getting it right he bent down opened the door and again nearly fainted by her scent as she stepped out and he shut the door behind her.
Two men in white suits opened the door's and luckily for Niles he didn't have to open anymore for awhile. They both stepped inside, Niles not wanting to push this night anymore stayed half beside her and half behind her, sorta letting her take the lead.
A waiter walks up to them and claps his hands "Ah.. good evening table for two I presume?"
"Looks that way doesn't it?" C.C said taking off her coat.
"This way I have the perfect little romantic spot for the both of you to dine at." The waitor said smiling.
"Wonderful." C.C said rolling her eyes.
He shows them to their table.
Niles sipped from his glass of water nervously, Thinking to himself. 'How do I know she was the one? Easy. She put's me in my place. Nothing I do to impress her seem's to work. But it is her immensly discouraging response that encourages me to pursue her even harder. It's been proved true a zillion times: Hard work always is more fulfilling then easy pickin's.'
"I think I'll have chicken paccata" C.C tells the waitor looking up at him.
"Will you marry me?" Niles just blurts out for the second time.
C.C takes a deep breath and smiles at the waitor. "Yes. Thats what I'll have" she told the waitor.
"Alright Ma'am." the waitor said "And you sir?" he asked
"The same." Niles said still looking at her.
The waitor writes down the order "Right away." then walks away
Niles keeps looking at her waiting for an answer. But silence. 'Should I be worried?'
C.C watches the waitor leave then turns to look at Niles "Niles......."
she begans to say
'Sure C.C he cares about you. He likes you...alot. But unless he's
been sending psychic signals you haven't tapped into, he doesn't love you,
Or at least he hasn't said the words, or wait a minute! Why they hell are
you thinking about this? even to the fact you're even waiting to hear them
words from him. May be he just wants involved with you for the thrill of
the kill?'
He waited, and waited, it seemed like hours instead of minutes before she spoke. Recongizing everything that drives him the craziest about her is why he was attracted to her in the first place.
Before they both knew it here come back the waitor with their food. 'Did she just actually wait that long to answer his question?' the waitor sets the plates down. "Can I get you anything to drink?"
"Will you marry me?" he asked again, he just could help himself.
"Could you give us a minute?" C.C asked the waitor
"Certainly Ma'am." he said walking away
C.C poked at her chicken before looking at Niles to answer him.
"Stop asking me, I won't marry you, I don't like you! and call the waitor my breast are dry!"
Niles again sees another opening to insult but just lets it go by asking "Why won't you marry me?"
"Yes. Its always been a dream of mine to make love to a domestic servant. Who uses his hands to scrub toilets the same hands he think's he going to touch me with!"
"What do you consider yourself? except the spawn of Cruella De Vil, you work for Mr. Sheffield, your just as much of a domestic as the next actor or household staff member you scream at just because something isn't your way."
"I am to much of women for you!" she snaps at him
"No. I can handle you. Better then anyone of your crony ex-boyfriends, and it scares you the hell out you. I can plainly see your the type that likes to be in control, be the women and wear the pants too. Niles said looking her in her eyes. 'I admire a tough cookie who eyed cheap sentiment and transparent come-ons with skepticism. It makes me value commitment and appreciate the virtues of patience, and I'm gonna need alot of it! Plus, it mean's she was interested in the real deal, the me that I like, instead of my representative.'
"I don't have to take this from you! I can see what being nice get's me and it certainly isn't into bed with you!" C.C got up and grabbed her coat and stormed out of the restaurant.
Niles grabs his coat and runs after her in a attempt to catch her. "You know what your problem is?" he yells to her as she stood by the curb of the road waiting for a taxi.
"Yes. You!"
"That your afraid to actually fall in love with someone lower then your standards!"
C.C smiles and for a brief second Niles thinks 'Did I finally get to her?'
"Do you know how pathetic you are?! So pathetic you allowed me to record your proposal without you ever knowing it." C.C laughed holding a small tape recorder up dangling it in front of him.
"Give me that!" Niles said trying to grabbed it out of her hand.
"Come and get it!" C.C challenges him noticing a taxi in the distance
"Babcock. You don't want to challenge me."
"and why not?" she asked
"Because.......I will win!" he charges towards her like a mad bull and fumbles the recorder in the air, but C.C still had ahold of the side strap and it landed right her hands.
"You know as much fun this is, I gotta run butler boy, I have an answering
machine to put this tape into." C.C said waving the taxi down and hopping
in. "Drive!" she orders the
driver.
As the taxi starts to drive away, "Will you marry me!" he yells again cupping his hands over his mouth so his voice would echo.
C.C noticed the taxi window was down and hearing his fourth proposal, she popped her head out of the window and yelled back "No!" and rolled the window up, telling the driver to speed it up, so he wouldn't try to run on foot after her.
"Damn that women!" Niles mumbles and the limo that took them both to the restaurant pulls up and the driver gets out and opens the door.
"Where is your lady friend?"
"Wherever she went I hopes she knows she took my heart with her." Niles
told him stepping into the limo and taking a seat. The driver smiles and
shuts the door, gets in the front seat and puts the gear into drive and
begins the journey back to where he started.
The rest is as you know it......
