---Ro's POV---
~April 7th, 2021~

"Hello everyone." I announced to the camera while filming the first episode of the new show.

"You're doing great." Abby mouthed to me.

"My name is Rosanna Pansino," I stated. "And welcome to 'BakeTopia', the show where the best home bakers in America go head to head with each other. Each round, one baker gets eliminated until there is only one left standing. Let's meet our bakers." The audience cheered.

"I love you Ro!" A few people shouted. Suddenly, the producer ran to my vision and held up giant flash cards.

"But first," I read out loud. "A performance from someone who just wants her girl back and is sorry?" Suddenly, I heard a guitar play. It was Abby, and she was playing my song.

Justine:
If you were the popcorn, I would be the movie
If you were strawberries then I would be the smoothie
If you were October, I'd be apple cider
And if you were the waffles fries then I would be the slider

Cause you and me, we make each other better
We may not be perfect, but we're perfect together
You and me, we'll make it through whatever
We may not be perfect, but we're perfect together

I knew that voice. However, where was she coming from suddenly, I see Justine pop up from behind one of the counters.

Justine:
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da.

Justine began to stroll towards me.

Justine:
If you were Sunday brunch, I'd be eggs and bacon
If you were hot chocolate, I'd be the winter night you stay in
If you were a candy, I would be the wrapper
And if you were marshmallows then I'd be the graham cracker

Cause you and me, we make each other better
We may not be perfect, but we're perfect together
You and me, we'll make it through whatever
We may not be perfect, but we're perfect together.

Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da.

Justine got to me, grabbed both of my hands, and looked into my eyes.

Justine:
What's the point of apple pie
Without the ice cream on the side?
That'd be like not having you tonight
And what's the point of a fondue
Without the chocolate too?
That'd be like me not having you

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da-da

Suddenly, I was being twirled around by Justine.

Justine (Abby Harmonizing)
Cause you and me, we make each other better
(make each other better)
We may not be perfect, but we're perfect together
You and me, we'll make it through whatever
(make it through whatever)
We may not be perfect, but we're perfect together

I began to tear up and smile.

Abby:
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da

Abby ended the toon and put the guitar down.

"Ro," Justine stated. "I know I said that I didn't want to leave all that I knew behind, but the truth is that when I lost you, it came clear to me that I lost my world. Ro, I love you. I want to go where you go, whether it be New York, or L.A., or even out to Eroupe or Asia. I love you Ro. Please, say you love me too." I began crying. I couldn't talk, so I just kissed her. I turned to Abby.

"Thanks Abby." I stated. The audience cried.

"I'm sorry!" Justine shouted. "Continue on!" She rushed off stage.

---Justine's POV---
After Ro was done filming for the day, we went to Tiffany's for dinner.

"Justine," Ro stated. "I honestly don't know why I was so stupid to let you go. I am so sorry."

"Babe," I stated. "It's okay. I promise you did have the right intentions." I kissed Ro's hand  and smiled.

"You know," Mom said, sitting down. "Out of all the relationships you've been in, I like this one the best."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah." Mom replied. "You're much happier with Ro than you were with the others. I think Ro brings out the best in you." I look down at my girlfriend and smiled.

Mom was right. Ro did make me the happiest. I wasn't afraid to be myself around her. Ro brought out the best in me. I told myself that someday, I was going to marry Ro. Maybe not now, but someday.

~September 6th, 2024~

Ro was on season three of that baking competition. I would travel back and forth between Los Angeles and New York once a month for a week just to be with her when she needed to be there. I didn't care though.

Today was our four year anniversary. After getting Papa Pizza's blessing, I decided to finally pop the question. I decided to bring Ro to where it all began. After all, I want it to be special. I had Jenna walk behind me with a camera to document it.

"How ironic," Ro asked. "That four years later, we'd be here? Where it all began for both of us?"

"I brought us hear on purpose." I stated. I got down on my right knee, reached down, and pulled out a ring with a rose quartz rather than a diamond.

"Oh my God." Ro whispered.

"Rosanna Pansino?" I asked. "Will you marry me?" Ro began crying.

"Yes!" Ro cheered, tears in her eyes. "Of course I'll marry you!" I stood up and slid the ring onto her finger. I pulled Ro in close and kissed her.

"I love you Ro." I stated.

"I love you too." Ro replied.
