Alex's POV

The day was finally here, and off to a great start. I woke up late and then proceeded to trip over Kevin and hit my head on the coffee table. I ran out of the house without breakfast and went as fast as I could to go get Y/n's service dog. 

When I got the puppy, I went to the Winter Garden and put him in my dressing room, leaving a bowl filled with food and water for him, along with a pee pad if he had to go.

I met up with Y/f/n, Kerry, Rob, Kate, and Y/n for breakfast, and we all acted like today was a regular old day. We ate our food and chatted for a bit until it was time for us to start walking to the theatre.

Y/n and I grabbed our iced tea, unsweetened, and the others grabbed their coffees, and then we said goodbye to Kate.

"Hey Kate, I'll see you tonight?" Y/f/n asked sweetly, Y/n not knowing that Kate was coming over to celebrate her birthday.

"Of course!" Kate smiled, pecking Y/f/n's cheek and hugging her before walking away to her apartment.

We all then went to the theatre, and we got there about 10 minutes early. When we came in, Timbers saw us and rushed over, which had been kinda unplanned.

"Hey, can I please speak to Y/n for a minute?" He asked, Y/n nodding and looking at us before saying,

"Is that okay with you guys?"

We all nodded, slightly relieved.

"Yeah, we're going to go get ready. You'll be coming after, right?" I asked, Timbers nodding.

We then split up and went our separate ways, Y/f/n, Kerry, Rob, and I going to our dressing rooms and start to change. We kept the puppy hidden, we hadn't named him yet because we were leaving that up to Y/n.

We were finishing getting ready when Y/n came back with some pep in her step.

"Hey kid, what's up with you?" I questioned, standing outside of my dressing room with the door closed.

"Timbers just offered me a job after Beetlejuice ends!" She squealed excitedly.

"Really? What is it?" I asked, surprised.

"I'm gonna be Lydia Hillard in Mrs. Doubtfire!" She exclaimed.

(Just pretend that it starts when Beetlejuice ends.)

"Wait, really?" Rob asked, coming out of his dressing room.

"Yeah! We get to work together again!" I said, hugging Rob, who was playing Mrs. Doubtfire.

Y/f/n, Kerry, and Adam came out of their dressing rooms and congratulated her and we all shared hugs before Y/n went to go get ready.

Once we were all ready, we went back to the house and sat there, waiting for everyone to finish getting ready and come back into the house. Once everyone arrived, Timbers came and got started,

"Hello everyone! Today is Friday, and a week from now, we open again!"

Everyone cheered at this, and he waited until we all quieted down to continue. 

"Now, my plan for today is to go over the Second Act and tweak a few things. Now, let's get set up and get started!"

Everyone got into their positions, and then Dana Steingold started singing Girl Scout, and she was amazing.

The time went by so fast, and eventually, we had run through the Second Act about 4 times, and were in our dressing rooms, changing back into our regular clothes and getting ready to leave.

Once everyone was ready but Y/n, we got into our positions and when Y/n came out, we surprised her by saying Happy Birthday to her, making her jump and smile, thanking us.

I looked at her and could tell that she was on the verge of having a panic attack. So I brought out her puppy and handed her his leash.

She looked back and forth between the puppy and me, shocked. 

"He's yours. Happy Birthday, Y/n!" I said, hugging her.

She hugged me back, and whispered in my ear,

"This is the nicest thing anyone has done for me. You mean the world to me, Alex. Would you like to be my boyfriend?"

And then it was my turn to look shocked. She pulled away from my hug and looked at me.

I took a minute to collect my thoughts, and then smiled, saying,

"Of course!"

And I kissed her right then and there, making everyone awe and clap, both of us blushing as we pulled away from each other. 

Y/n bent down, picking up her puppy, and she thanked everyone.

Eventually, we got out of there, and Kerry, Rob, Y/f/n, Y/n, and I met up with Kate and together we had a great dinner with the newest member of our family, Y/n's puppy. And speaking of her puppy...

"Hey Y/n, what are you going to name your puppy?" I asked, everyone turning toward her expectantly.

"I'm not sure..." She trailed off, deep in thought, "I think I'll name him Logan."

Everyone smiled, and I said,

"That's a lovely name, babes."

She smiled at me, me putting an arm around her shoulder as she tested out the name,

"Logan!" She called softly, the young dog perking up his ears and looking straight at her expectantly, "Good boy."

She rubbed him in between his ears, at first looking at him and then looking at me, smiling wide.

"Thank you guys, this has been my best birthday!" She laughed, everyone laughing with her.

"Well, thanks for letting us hang out with you!" Kerry smiled, the rest of us nodding at her.

We all made small talk for a while, and then we all left, Y/n and I going to go on a walk around the park with Logan and Kevin. 

Logan and Kevin took off to go play with each other and some of the other dogs, while Y/n and I sat underneath a tree, enjoying the view.

"Thanks, Alex. This has been my best birthday, I couldn't imagine spending it with anyone else," Y/n said peacefully smiling, looking at the sunset.

"Me either," I smiled back at her.

She put her head on my shoulder, and I laid my head on top of hers, and we sat there, continuing to watch the sunset behind the trees in the distance.

(Hello Readers! I just wanted to add that if any of the names of the OC's I make up, like Logan, Kate, Ollie, Trevon, or the others that are yet to come, please feel free to change them, I don't care at all. Thanks for reading! - Gracely.)
