"I wanna watch a scary movie!"
"But I wanna watch a chick flick!"
"Oh yeah, like I wanna see women being women!" Dan and Runo argued. It was movie night, and we couldn't decide on a movie to watch.

"Not again....." Marucho sighed. It seemed like they could never come to an agreement.

"How about we all relax in our rooms? Clearly, it's been one hell of a day for all of us.' Shun stated as he looked at me.

"But I'm not tired-" Dan started, but fell on the couch snoring. Runo facepalmed. This was gonna be a long night for her.

"My love, what's going through that head of yours?" He had noticed I hadn't said a word to him after the slow dance we had on the balcony last night. To be honest, I was depressed again. I was mentally and physically exhausted from everything that went down the last couple hours. The power that was in my veins were making me this way.

"Just hold me tight Shun, and do me a favor and never let me go."I snuggled close to him in his bed. I enjoyed his company, and I didn't wanna be alone in my room. Besides, his bed was so cozy. So, we laid there, making endless conversation.

"Hey, um, I know you might not feel up to it, but how do you feel about a date night tomorrow?" He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Sure. We haven't had one of those in such a long time. I guess it wouldn't hurt." I yawned, wiggling under his blanket. The following day, I awoke to a trail of sunflower petals leading from where I was to the garden.

My love, put this outfit on, and meet me behind our favorite tree,
Shun

I stare at the note and sigh deeply as I put on a blue turtleneck shirt with ruffled sleeves, a short black skirt, and heels.

"Shun?" I walked into the garden, searching high and low for him. I froze in my tracks when a breeze blew right past me. Goosebumps ran up my arms and back.

"Gotcha!" A pair of arms grabbed me and turned me around. The fit body structure was enough to give away who it was.

"Shun!! You jerk!" I hit his chest playfully.

"You look absolutely stunning. Are you ready for night you'll never forget?" He caressed my cheek. I was shocked to see where our first destination was. The fair!!! I haven't been to one in a long time! We walked around, played games, rode all the rides(twice), and laughed when one of the prize pigs stole a corndog from a kid.

"I had no idea you liked fairs. I always thought you'd be the stay at home and be anti-social kind of guy." I walked beside him, eating my cotton candy.

"I didn't. But when I met the best girl in the world, I knew I had to work on changing that." He blushed. Wait, who was the best girl in the world? Ohhh. Aw Shun. You're too sweet.

"So, do you wanna like, maybe go up to the pier on the beach and perhaps walk?" Shun rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Yeah sure. Shun, what's wrong? You're never this nervous." Why was he acting this way?

"I'm okay Magnolia. Let's just go." He held my hand and started walking towards the boardwalk.

*Shun*

Okay Shun, you got this. You're just proposing.... I thought to myself. I put my hand in my pocket, and I thought I didn't feel for the ring, but I heard something crumple, and when I glanced at it I sighed

Shun, you're gonna need this if you're gonna propose so I slipped you the ring and a breath mint when the big moment comes. Have fun ;)

Dan

Ugh.... That fool..... He's a great friend, but he can be such a moron...... God she's so beautiful..... I stared at her with admiration. Her laughter when we overheard a conversation between a little boy and his step dad got my heart thumping. This is how that conversation went:

"Don't be a little pussy Noah. Get on the Ferris wheel with your mother."

"No! I don't want to! I hate you!"

"Noah, don't make me smack you in front of all these people and take you home."

"You're not my real dad! Mom only married you for the money!"As we were walking around the fair, I had an idea: I was gonna take her to the beach and as soon as the sun sets, I'll catch her by surprise. I even have Fabia being my wingwoman and capturing every moment of it.

"Hey Shun, wanna have a race to see who can be the first to get to that lifeguard stand?" She stopped me. Perfect! I'll meet her there and when she has her back turned, I'll propose! I love her playful side!

"Sure, why not? But don't cry when you lose!" I ran, but not at full speed. In other people's eyes, we were teenagers just having fun. In mine, I was thinking back to when I first met her and the sudden spark we had when life almost took her away. Yeah, I cheated(twice, yeah I'm awful) but it was her that made me come back and stay. I realized there isn't a girl like her to keep me afloat at my worst.

"How's that for speed?! Sorry, but I got a race to win!" She blew me a kiss and ran ahead. Damn, she's quick, but so am I! She didn't see me run past her, and I'm glad she didn't, because I made it to the stand and hid behind it.

"Shun? Where are you?" She panted, looking around for me. The whole time, we were playing hide and seek around the lifeguard stand.

*Magnolia*

That's weird. Where is he? Did I win? There's no way I won, because Shun is faster than me. When I turned around to face the ocean, I looked down at Shun, who was down on one knee, a velvet box in hand. I covered my mouth with both hands. Oh my god!!

"Ever since I held you in my arms the first day we met, I felt a spark between us that I've never felt with anyone else

"Ever since I held you in my arms the first day we met, I felt a spark between us that I've never felt with anyone else. You've been my rock, my heart and soul, the woman and my dreams, hopefully my wife. So, Magnolia Opal Jean, will you marry me?" He said with passion. I screeched with pure joy and hugged him.

"Yes!!! Yes I'll marry you!!!" I cried as he slipped a pretty heart shaped stone onto my finger.

"I love you so much Magnolia Jean, or should I say, Magnolia Kazami?" He winked as he held my hands and kissed them.

"Congrats you two!" A voice approached. Fabia!

"Magnolia, I hope we can be friends. I know I messed up by taking Shun away from you, but I realized he loves you more than life itself. "She held her hand out. I smiled. I'm not the kind of person to hold a grudge against anyone.

"Yeah. We can be friends" I shook her hand in peace.
