Y/N returned to South Africa. Lauran upon seeing him, rushed up to him as she threw her arms around him and spun around. "Y/N. I missed you," Lauran said. Y/N could see she was at least two months pregnant at this point. He would be lying if he didn't say he enjoyed his life here in this world.

He also decided he would tie the knot with Lauran, and for that, he was going to meet with Ernest for supper later that day. Ernest Oppenheimer was a big ally of Y/N as the Kansen was a big time customer of Debeers. With Ernest as the Chairman, the two really hit it off. His real friend though was Ernest's son Harry Oppenheimer.

(Harry Oppenheimer. This guy actually existed IRL. His story is an interesting read)

In Johannesburg, Y/N sat with Harry as the two men enjoyed a meal. "So Y/N," said Harry, "What brings us together today."

"Been considering settling down actually," said Y/N, "with someone I known for years."

"I suppose I should congratulate you," said Harry.

"Yes, and I do thank you for that. How's the old man?"

"Just Ernest being Ernest frankly. Anything I should know about?"

"Just that I'm visiting to buy a ring to formalize my decision," Y/N said.

"May I suggest a place?"

"Please do," said Y/N

Y/N bought a diamond ring and headed back to his GTU-1 Biplane. The GTU-1 was a multirole single Engine Medium Bomber sized Biplane with a 50 foot Wingspan and a single Turboprop engine. With the Ability to carry eight ASMs, and a 2000 mile range, plus capacity for four passengers, it was a platform even the Sirens feared given it lumbered along so slowly at 80 MPH that their jets couldn't combat it. As for ships, GTU-1s attacked beyond visual range, making them pretty much to ships what slenderman was to his victims.

The MWC used GTU-1s as land based Maritime patrol aircraft, and these gave the ship girls night terrors from episodes when the planes stalked their groups out on naval patrols.

Entering his plane, Y/N started the engine and firewalled the throttle as his plane leapt into the air. Hours later, Y/N landed as he parked his plane, and went to see Lauran. Arriving, Y/N met up with her.

"Y/N. You were gone all day. Where had you been?"

"Meeting with a friend, but more importantly," Y/N presented the ring and asked, "Lauran. Will you marry me?"

Lauran threw her arms around the Kansen as she said, "Yesss. The answer is yes, Y/N."

Y/N sailed to Madagascar. The long awaited prize was finally his. A prime location that now opened up the Indian ocean to his vessels as he needed the location as a refueling and resupply depot for his Corvettes. Thus he arrived in the port of Toliara.

Getting off the ship with his fiance, Y/N looked around. He smiled as his ultimate plan was now taking shape.

For now at least, he had a wedding to plan.
