Gabrielle POV

~~~flashback~~~

Astra: gabrielle?

Gab: yes?

             We were on another walk on the beach at night like we enjoy doing every full moon

Astra: *clears throat* the s-stars are really shining tonight aren't they?

Gab: yeah they truly are wonderful

Astra: y-yeah...not as wonderful as you though

              I feel myself blush a lil while looking up at the bright moon...i look at the waves...how the moon reflects on them and makes it so breath taking. I hear Astra do what i assume is sit down...she was always down to get dirty aha...not me. I stay standing 

Astra: *clears throat*...Gabrielle...ever since we first met...i felt like i found my perfect match...like i found that one star in the universe that's mine. The person i'd move heaven and earth for...you're the best thing that ever happened to me 

Gab: *chuckle* you're so sweet-

Astra: ... could you uh maybe look at me while i ask you something?

Gab: yes sorry what is...it?

                    I start to feel tears of happiness form as i put my hands over my mouth...i see her on one knee holding a small box with a beautiful ring 

Astra: Gabrielle, would you make me the happiest woman in the universe and marry me?

Astra: Gabrielle, would you make me the happiest woman in the universe and marry me?

Gab: y-yes! Oh m-my God yes!

                     She quickly gets up and i hug her hard. We kiss for a while, the only sounds being made coming from my tears and the waves crashing onto shore. She pulls away and smiles while putting the ring on my finger

Gab: i l-love you s-so much

Astro: i love you more Gabrielle...so m-much *cough* more *cough* 

                         She kneels down again this time from coughing

Gab: Astra?

Astra: hey hey *clears throat* i'm fine...as long as i'm with you i'm okay

                      She gets up and puts her forehead onto mine

~~~end of flashback~~~

Gab: *sniff*...w-were here

Alan:...a park with rocks?

Gab: it's called a graveyard...where people are buried after they die

Alan: oh shit my bad

Gab: it's alright...you don't have to come you can stay in the car, the fact you came is nice enough

Alan: nah nah i can come

                  I smile a little and look at my ring as i walk to her grave. I replace the old dying flowers with some new roses i bought. Alanis walks up behind me as i kneel in front of Astra's grave

Gab: i....*tears up* h-hello Astra u-um...m-meet Alanis?...i don't know...i m-miss you so m-much

                 I see Alanis kneel down to show some respect but only AFTER about a minute of kicking dirt around awkwardly  

Alan: so...you said um this is the day she pop'd the question?

Gab: *gulp* y-yes...it is

Alan:...shouldn't you celebrate the wedding anniversary not the day she ask-

Gab: s-she didn't make it to the w-wedding

Astra: hey h-hey...i am okay gabbie...s-sure *cough* maybe not in the b-best shape but...*gulp* every day I s-spent with you was *cough* p-perfect
