The year was 2025, and Ollie and Martha had just finished their last year at Cambridge University. As if by some miraculous coincidence, their 6 year anniversary was the same day they got their final results. Ollie had a special surprise up his sleeve for Martha - he was going to propose to her!

It was 11am when the results finally came out online. Ollie opened his first. "Yes, a 78!" He cried happily, pumping his fists in the air.
"Congratulations!" Martha replied, giving him a high five.✋ (Yes, Martha can actually high five. At least, with some people.) Then it was her turn.
"I got a first; an 80; it's practically publishable!" She exclaimed, after being speechless for a few moments. "Well done," he congratulated her.

And that's when he pulled out the ring. 💍

Martha's eyes widened as she realised what was about to happen, but for once she didn't lead him on.
"So, you know how you said you wanted to be married to science?" He started, his voice shaking slightly.
"Yeah?" Martha replied, not knowing quite how to feel.
"And how I'm your research partner?" He continued.
"Just get to the point," she snapped. (As you can tell, this girl is clearly hopeless at romance.)
"Alright," Ollie chuckled nervously. He knelt down on one knee and took a deep breath.
"Martha Fitzgerald, would you do the honour of being my wife? Will you marry me?" He asked.
"Of course I will, Oliver Coulton," Martha grinned eagerly.

Ollie smiled back and put the ring on her index finger. It was an ornate ring; the shade of chocolate. There was mini Jupiter in the middle, in place of the traditional stone or gem. Illuminating yellow stars were dotted around the edge of the ring.
"It's beautiful," she breathed, looking at it, "Truly beautiful."

A/N: I had a few English lessons on sensory language this week, so that's how I made the last paragraph sound totally awesome! BTW who else screamed when Sid came back in episode 4? I did:)
