As he set his hat on the railing, standing out and looking at the headless statue of liberty, Sam remembered something. He slowly reached in his coat and took the "hard luck" engagement ring out, which he surprisingly still had after a week. He looked at it, remembering when he first got it.
~flashback~
"Sam, this is all so sudden! I...I don't know what to say!" Max said as he saw a kneeling Sam pick up the engagement ring, blushing and holding his face. Sam rolled his eyes. "Quiet, bonehead." he stood up and looked at the ring closer. "Hmm, I've got a feeling skunkape picked it up while he was out looking for toys. Ah, There's an engraving. 'Hard luck'. Classy."
As Max wandered around aimlessly, Sam looked at the ring he was holding, then at max. He starts to think, wondering what would happen if he had popped the question right then and there. Truth be told, he had been thinking about proposing for a while now, but never had the opportunity to buy the ring. Well, now he had one but... right now, while they were on the quest to stop skunkape, and very busy, now was not the right time or place. "Nah." he said, putting the ring back in his coat.
~end flashback~
Sam held the railing as tears dripped down his face, looking at the ring. "I should have asked him when I had the chance... I should have... ugh...." he puts it away and buries his face in his hands, weeping.
Suddenly he hears a familiar noise. He turned around to see a familiar looking time traveling elevator had popped up behind him. He slowly stepped towards it.
As he approached, The elevator opened, but it was... empty...? Sam stepped closer, looking around the inside. He slowly looked to the left of him to see a familiar white rabbit also inspecting it."Oh hi Sam!"
Sam jumped back in surprise. "Holy beer-battered Princes of Maine and Kings of New England in a glass-bottom boat with a trip-hop DJ and the second-runner up in the Miss Teen Oklahoma pageant! it's past max in the time traveling elevator!"
Max smiled and looked up at him. "What's shakin?" Sam smiled widely, picking up max and hugging him tightly. "MAX! I thought you were-" he realizes something, setting him down. "Wait a minute, where's the past ME?" Max looks nervous, turning away. "Oh yeah, about that... we were on a case, and you got turned into a giant monster with electromagnetic powers, so I kinda had to blow you up." he looked back at Sam, smiling again. "It was horrible!" Sam felt a little awkward, looking away. Max did the same. There was an awkward tension in the air.Sam then broke the silence. "Listen, max, before we say or do anything else... there's something I have to do, right here and now.'' Max looked at him. "Okay?" Sam takes his small hand. "Max... after what just happened... i realized that if i don't do this now, i might never get another chance to, so, max..."
He gets on one knee, taking the ring out. "Will you make me the happiest dog in the world, and marry me?" Max teared up, covering his mouth. "Oh Sam..." he hugs him happily. "I thought you'd never ask! Of course I will, ya big lug!" Sam smiled, holding him tightly. "Thank you!" The two hugged and happily wept for a little bit before Max gave Sam his hand, Sam putting the ring on it, looking at Max happily. Max leaned forward and kissed him, wrapping his arms around Sam's shoulders as Sam wrapped his arms around Max's waist. The newly engaged couple kissed passionately for a very long time before pulling back, Sam standing up.
They looked into each other's eyes for a little while before Max spoke. "So..." he pulled out his luger. "Wanna stop some crimes?" Sam nodded. "Let's!" They both stepped into the elevator. "Oooh, push all the buttons! I wanna sprinkle some dental retainers throughout the fossil records and see how long it takes anybody to notice!" Sam smiled happily and said, "You crack me up, little buddy." as the elevator closed and sank into the ground.
Unfortunately, Sam had forgotten his hat. But he remembered, the elevator popping back up so he could grab it and take it back before the elevator disappeared once again, Sam and max off on another great adventure.
