"Here," Shawn smiled at Elena holding his hands out as he rocked on the balls of his feet giddily.

Elena looked up from the drawing she was coloring in to look at him.

"What's that Shawnie?" Elena asked as he held a wrapper out to her.

Shawn grinned as he hastily ripped open the small wrapper and pulled out a ring pop before grabbing Elena's left hand.

"This is so everyone knows we're going to get married!" Shawn told her excitedly as he put the blue raspberry flavored ring on her hand.

That was Elena's favorite flavor.

Elena smiled at him, "Shawn-"

"Nope!" He cut her off, "We're getting married! I know it, Cory knows it, even your parents know it!"

Elena laughed before hugging him, "You're silly Shawnie."

Shawn smiled dreamily as he hugged her tightly, "I'm in love with you."

Elena pulled back and arched an eyebrow, "No, you're eight."

"And you're beautiful."

Shawn, Cory, and Elena were laughing as Shawn imitated Stuart Minkus when Eric threw open the kitchen door.

He walked towards the three with a frown before picking Elena up, sitting in her seat and hugged her tightly.

The three friends just continued what they were doing, it was normal for Eric to do this.

Eric looked at the three offendedly before sighing exaggeratedly to gain their attention.

He continued to do this when he saw them continue to ignore him, even putting his chin on Elena's shoulder and sighing loudly in her ear.

All he got was Shawn glaring at him muttering, "Too far."
