"Look at my boy, so happy. I'm assuming you fixed everything with Aria last night?" Jonah's dad said with a big smile.
"Yes dad. I did." Jonah replied, trying to contain his smile.
"I'm so happy for you two. Have you asked her out yet?" Jonah's mom questioned.
"Um no I haven't actually." Jonah said.
"What are you waiting for?" Jonah's mom asked.
"I'm not so sure." Jonah shrugged.
"Ask her today." Jonah's dad stated.
"Okay." Jonah answered and then he went back upstairs to figure out what he's going to do.
***
"Good Morning Aria." Aria's dad chirped while shaking Aria gently.
"Morning Dad." Aria replied, and then went back to sleep.
"Aria." Aria's dad said more sternly.
"Yea?" Aria asked.
"Do I need to beat up Jonah?" Aria's dad asked.
"What!?" Aria shouted out.
"Did you not hear me?" Aria's dad questioned.
"Why would you need to beat up Jonah? Ohhh, no. He fixed everything." Aria responded.
"Okay. Well I'm going to go then. Come down for breakfast" Aria's dad smiled and walked out the door.
Aria quickly got ready and stopped in front of her mirror. She smiled. She was truly happy.
"Good morning mom!" Aria sang happily.
"Good morning! Did Jonah finally ask you out?" Aria's mom replied happily.
"Actually no he hasn't" Aria shrugged.
"Hmm I wonder what he's waiting for." Aria's mom thought out loud.
"Well I just got back, so maybe he'll ask me out in a couple of days." Aria replied optimistically.
***
"Hey Aria." Jonah said into the phone.
"Hey." Aria replied.
"Meet me in the park in 10 minutes." Jonah quickly said.
"Oka-" Aria started to reply, but Jonah had already hung up.
***
Once Aria got to the park, she noticed that Jonah wasn't there, but his mom was.
"Hey Aria. Jonah asked me to give you this. He also said to go home and open the box" Jonah's mom said with a smile.
"Okay.." Aria took the box and went back home.
When she opened the box, she first saw a note that said, "Wear the dress and then go to your mom. She'll tell you what to do next."
The dress was a simple black dress that reached her knees. She rarely wore dresses, so she kinda weird, but she wore it anyways.
"Hey mom.." Aria started saying before her mom cut her off.
"Darling, you look wonderful. I'm going to put on some makeup for you, and then you have to go to this shop, and they'll give you what you need. Don't ask me any questions. You're not getting any answers." Aria's mom said while taking Aria to her room to do her makeup.
After her makeup was done, Aria went to the shop, and the woman there put a crown on Aria's head.
"Do you know what this is for, ma'am?" Aria asked the woman.
"I can't tell you, but I'm sure you'll love it. Now go to the floral shop across the street." The woman replied.
"Okay. Thank you." Aria said with a small smile.
Once got to the floral shop, she noticed that nobody was at the front desk, so she rang the bell, but nobody came out right away.
"Hello!?" Aria yelled out.
"Yes ma'am?" A tall boy walked out.
"A elderly woman told me to come here. I'm not so sure what I'm supposed to do here." She replied.
"The one that gave you the crown?" He asked.
"Yes." Aria replied.
"Ohh she always confuses the floral shop with the art museum. Don't even ask why. But here's some flowers." The boy offered.
"Okay thanks." Aria said while walking out of the shop.
When she went to the art museum, a man lead her to a small room. She started from one corner and went around the whole room.
The entire room was full of pictures of her and Jonah.
The last picture said, "Go back to the park."
She ran to park and saw Jonah standing there with his back turned away from her.
"Jonah." Aria breathed out.
Jonah turned around and asked Aria, "Will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"
"Yes Jonah. Yes" Aria replied happily.
She kissed him tenderly. Seconds later, she broke the kiss and looked into his eyes.
"I love you Jonah." She said.
"I love you Aria." Jonah replied.
Everything was falling into place for the both of them.
