"What is GOOD Richmond!" Mark and I say at the same time. I giggled at him and the rest of the guys as they hurried up on stage.

"So uh.. Like seriously guys? What's up? How's it hanging? What's the hatch?" I say. Weston cocks an eyebrow,"What's the hatch — like do you mean like what's the hatch as in like "what's the egg hatch?" Or just like what's the —"

"Weston what the heck man?" I laugh.

"Did anyone count how many times Weston said "hatch" in that sentence?" Mark asks the fans.

"42 TIMES!" Someone shouts. I giggle,"Actually same." I laugh.

"Okay. But onto serious business. How many of you know what Balaska is?" Weston asks. Everyone raises their hand except Blake and I.

"Okay sweet. You guys keep up quick. Keeping Up With The Lamos. That should be a show. Okay! Anyways. Now, how many of you ship Balaska till the day to DIE?" Weston says. Most people raise their hands, but I was still confused.

"How many of you don't ship Balaska?" Mark asks. Some people raise their hands and Weston gasps,"WHAT THE HECK! THESE TWO ARE FINE QUALITY PEOPLE! SOMETIMES WHEN THEY AREN'T THROWING AUNT JEMIMA SYRUP BOTTLES AT ME! BUT STILL! WHAAAAAAAT?"

"Okay, how many of you don't even know what we are talking about?" Mark asks. I raise my hand. Quickly, the fans start laughing at me.

Weston face palms himself,"Well, I'm just going to —" Weston walks back stage and then comes out on the other side,"HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHAT BALASKA IS?!? ITS SO OBVIOUS!"

I giggle,"What is it?"

"Oh my goi... It's Blake and Alaska mashed together. Do you know what mashing is? It's where you take two thingys and put them togethery, okay? Now, we took your name. Do you know your name, yes! It's Alaska! Good job! And then, we took Blake, your hunky mans name, and put it with your name, thus, the ship name Balaska was born. Do you know how ship names are born? When —"

"Weston!" I laugh. He shrugs,"I'm sorry. I'm very passionate about Balaska."

"I still don't get this whole Balaska thing, why are people shipping Blake and I tog —"

"BecauseHesInLoveWithYouAndYouGuysAreMeantToBe!" Weston says faster than I can think. I chuckle,"Oh is he now?"

"Yez girl. He be talkin' about you all the time and he said he's going to ask you —"

" to endorse Donald Trump." Weston finishes for him, slapping his hand over Marks mouth before he can say anything else. I snort,"Oh my god."

"No but seriously, Blake has something he wants to ask you." Hunter says. Brandon grabs a step stool and runs over to me. He sets it down and steps on it, making the fans laugh. He pulls out my Kylie liquid lipstick and the fans cackle loudly.

"Go like this." He says, making a duck face. I do and he dots liquid lipstick on my lips,"Now rub them together." He says. I do as he says,"If you're all wondering, I watched my mom do this once. Don't judge." He says, and the fans laugh even harder. Brandon fixes my hair, gives me a thumbs up, steps off the step stool and runs off stage giggling like a little girl along with the rest of them.

"Hi Blake! What's good homie!?" I ask. He laughs, shaking his head.

"Alaska. Do you remember when you asked me last night if I loved a girl before?" Blake asks. I nod slowly,"Yeah. I do."

"You remember how I said no?" He asks. I nod,"Yep."

"Well — I lied to you. Because there is this one girl — I love her — a lot, actually. More than words can describe." He says. My heart shatters. "Oh" is all I say.

"Now do you remember how I told you today I had a surprise for you?" He says. I nod slowly,"Yeah I guess." I say softly.

"Well I lied about that, too — I have three surprises." Blake says. I nod my head.

He pulls a box from his pocket, and the fans start to gasp. He hands it to me,"Open it." He says. I tear off the purple paper and open the box. It was a necklace, with the letter B on it. I smiled,"B as in Blake."

The fans awe. "Do you like it?" Blake asks. I smile wider,"No — I actually love it, a lot. Thank you."

Blake smiles, letting out a sigh of relief,"One down, 2 to go."

He slips the necklace around and latches it together. "Now — this is a very important question. You have to answer honestly. No jokes..." Blake says eyeing me. I giggle,"Okay."

"Will you — Alaska Giovanello — be my girlfriend?" He asks. The fans scream and I cover my mouth,"Are you being serious?" I ask.

"One hundred percent serious." Blake smiles. I nod my head quickly,"Yes of course I will. I've been waiting for you to ask me." I smile.

"Great. So the last gift. It's very special."

"So — about that girl from earlier, you know the one I love?" Blake asks. I nod slowly,"Yes."

"Well — that girl is you," Blake pauses as the fans start to go insane with the cheering.

"I love you, Alaska. More than anything.."

"Love has no reason. When asked "why" the answer is "I don't know — I just do." Because love does not come from the mind to know, but from the heart to feel."
