DARRY
As soon as Sammy said yes to my proposal, I knew things were going great. So what, real and fiction didn't make a difference. It was still love, and it was true love. Some may say that true love is only in princess movies and that it isn't real or simply too cliché, but I felt it. I felt a rush of happiness when I looked into Sammy's beautiful eyes.

"Darry, I can't wait for the wedding! Let's start planning!!" Sammy exclaimed.

Ponyboy, Kate, Sodapop, and Liv helped us find everything from shoes to wedding veils. It was as if the best of times would never end.

"'Night, everyone!" Sammy said enthusiastically.

"Goodnight!"

Before we went to bed, Sammy and I kissed.

"Sammy, I'm so glad to be your fiancé."

"So am I! I love you sooooo much!"
