I flip around in my bed, seeing a beautiful brunette laying down. I move the hair in her face and tuck it behind her ear, making her wake up. I caress her cheek with my hand,"Guess what day it is."
"What?", she says groggily.
"Time Capsule day!"
"We're gonna dig that thing up?", she whines.
"Yep."
"No way out of it?"
"Nope."
She groans and sits up,"Let's call the boys then."
"No good morning kiss?", I pout.
She laughs and brings me into a kiss. Then we lay back down and cuddle as she makes a call with Lucas and Farkle.
After she hangs up, she turns to me and asks,"Hey, what did you put in there anyways?"
I shrug,"I forgot." But that wasn't even close to the truth.
----------------------------------------------
Okay, this is it. I knock on the door then tap my foot on the ground impatiently.
"Hi Maya! Is Riley here?", Topanga greets me as she opens the door.
Cory walks by the door,"Hi Maya."
"Uh no... but it's 10 years after the time capsule. It's time.", I say, walking in and closing the door.
"About time!", Topanga exclaims.
"You guys have come along way. We're so proud.", Cory says.
"Yeah, so...can I have your blessings?"
----------------------------------------------
We're here in Topangas, just as we were 10 years ago. The box is on the table, yet to be opened.
"Ready?", Farkle says, holding the key.
"Yeah, lets see who we were 10 years ago.", Riley says. He looks at me, looking for confirmation. I nod my head.
First went Farkle. "My favorite turtleneck. I almost forgot about that.", he smiles.
Next went Lucas. "My transfer slip.", he looks around at all of us and smiles.
Then, Riley. She pulls out pluto. "The smallest planet with the biggest heart.", she grins.
"Your turn.", she hands it to me. I take a breath in and look around, noticing our parents watching from behind the counter.
First thing I pull out, a picture of my mom and Shawn, who's now my dad. "I hoped. It came true.", I hand them the photo.
The next thing a pull out is a letter. I hand it to Riley,"Read it out loud."
I put the box down, shoving the last item in my pocket.
Riley begins to read:
"Dear Riley,
I have decided to confess my feelings to you after we burry this box so I don't change my mind and take this letter out, because I'm going to hope for one more thing. If your reading this, I hope we're together. If so, continue reading.
Riles... my best friend for life, my extraordinary relationship, my soulmate. We have been together since the beginning, we have shared so many important memories together that will last a lifetime. You are the most important person in my life. You've helped me hope, you've helped me heal, and you've helped me love.
I hope that you are here 10 years from now, reading this out loud in front of everyone else we love. I hope that you love me just as much as I love you, because I hope to love each other til' the day we ya know... bleh. And finally, I hope you say yes. Riley Mathews-", she looks confused and turns the paper over,"Where's the rest?"
I get down on one knee, taking out the ring from my pocket. "Riley Mathews, will you marry me?", I finish.
Her hand goes to her mouth as tears form in her eyes. "YES! YES! YES!", she yells pulling me up to kiss her. We kiss, hearing the applaud and celebrating going on in the background from our friends and family.
When we pull away, I slip the ring on her finger. She pulls me into a tight hug,"I love you so much."
"I love you too. Thunder.", I lift up my hand.
"Lightning!", she laughs.
"Forever!", we both say, intertwining our hands.
