  The Dancing with the Stars: Live! Hot Summer Nights Tour was officially in Kansas City, Missouri. The half way point of the show had came, and right before the intermission Emma stopped Hayley from exiting the stage. The next thing you hear is Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" playing. They some "awwww's" from the crowd. She looks over to see Derek walking out of the wings, holding out his hand. Once they reach each other he speaks.

  "May I have this dance?" She slightly nods, and they begin their dance from the Move 2015 tour. Their duet, the one they choreographed together just after they started officially dating. They danced that meaningful dance again with no problem, it was second nature. She loved him talking through the dance, he did this every time they preformed, whispering sweet nothings in her ear for encouragement, and just being the sweet man he is. They finished their dance, with a kiss, as they always did when the lights dimmed, except this time they didn't, and that was okay. Derek began to speak, he was shaking and you could feel his racing pulse in his wrist.

  "Since they day I met you I knew there was something about you that I loved. At the time I was sure it was your dance skills, but as we got closer and grew older I realized it was much bigger than that. You went through the best years of my life on tour and we got to preform this dance every night. This dance means so much to me, the song holds truth to it. I will love you, longer than when I'm seventy. I've sat thinking about our future for awhile now. I always told myself, "you will know when you meet the one, the person to be with forever. She will be with you in everything you do, way before you know she's the one." And you have. You've been apart of the best and most important years of my life. I want you to know how much I love you." By this point Hayley was in tears listening to his well thought out speech, that just rolled off his tongue. He turned her to the screen behind them, as a video montage of home videos, and pictures of them over the last few years was playing. It showed their favorite moments they shared, and some moments no one had seen before. They held each other close as they reminisced. The montage ended and she turned back to Derek. He got on one knee.

  "Now this is the good part. Hayley Nichole Erbert I have loved you since the day I met you, I will love you for the rest of my life. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me?" There were tears streaming down her face , and she was smiling from ear to ear. She could see her family and his family in the wings watching this beautiful moment play out.

  "Yes of course." He got up and put the ring on her finger. She was lifted off the ground and showers with love from family and friends. This was the moment she had dreamed of for years and she was officially found to marry the love of her life. Rashad took the microphone and yelled,

  "SHE IS OFFICIALLY GOING TO BE HAYLEY HOUGH" every one laughed and continued the hugs. Derek and Hayley left the stage for intermission, the stood and hugged, and gave the occasional kiss.

  "You ruined my makeup, but for the best reason." They both laughed, and he helped her fix it as best as they could in 10 minutes. Their families were all talking and laughing. Celebrating this joyous moment. That night they lay in bed admiring the ring, talking about the wedding, silly things of course. The talked about their future, kids, and all of those relating. They fell asleep at her childhood home in her room. They were enjoying each other's presence and slept very well while hold one another close.

(A/N - I really loved this one, I combined a couple prompts I had seen, and I loved how it turned out. I was also inspired by  Keo and Rashad calling her Hayley Hough recently. Please remember to leave requests! Thank you for all your sweet comments as well!)
