Hello, all! The poll I made, had majority vote on a Eugene/Rapunzel story with a Levi/Amelia one in second. It was inevitable early on which ones would win so I started planning out this story last week. I decided to combine the first two winners into one story. So this is mostly a comedy romance about Rapunzel and Eugene getting ready for their wedding while at the same time, playing matchmaker with Levi and Amelia. I wouldn't be expecting anything too special from this story, but it should still be enjoyable.

Jonathan paced back and forth in front of the fireplace, hands clasped behind his back, brow wrinkled with anxiety. Elinor watched from her armchair as her husband passed back and forth in front of her. "Keep this up and you'll wear a hole in the carpet," she suggested with light humor.

Jonathan glanced at her, but still continued pacing. "I don't see why you're so anxious," Elinor remarked, "She's sure to say yes."

"You have no idea what the pressure is like," Jonathan said, leaning against the fireplace mantle and staring at the flames, "It claws at your nerves and makes you do stupid things-"

"Hmm, yes. Your proposal was quite an adventure, wasn't it?" Elinor mused, remembering.

"Exactly my point! Eugene is even more jittery than I ever was."

"I can beg to differ," Elinor said with a slightly mischievous smile.

"They should have been back by now too," Jonathan continued on, not seeming to hear his wife's remark, "Eugene assured me that they would be back well before midnight." He glanced at a nearby clock. "It's only about ten minutes until midnight."

"Well, if Rapunzel had said no, you would think that their little outing would not last this long," Elinor suggested.

"Or Eugene just hasn't asked yet," the ever so pessimistic king continued, "I know what it's like. Every time you try to ask, something happens and the lady in question gets distracted or won't do what they're supposed to do in order to discover the ring."

"Did Eugene tell you exactly how he was going to propose?" Elinor wondered.

"No. And that's another thing! He told me he was going to take her out and just find the right time to ask and give her the ring. He didn't have it planned out! The right time may have never come!"

"Dear, you are worrying far too much," Elinor said calmly as Jonathan began to pace again, "Eugene's a smart boy, he would have come up with a way to ask her. As for Rapunzel, she has confided in me that she has been waiting for Eugene to propose for a long time and was getting upset that it hadn't happened yet. She's sure to say yes."

Jonathan seemed to calm a bit at her words, but not enough to hold him still. He sat on the armchair opposite his wife and began to nervously drum his fingers on the armrest. Elinor smirked. "Honestly, Jon," she said, "You're going to make me a nervous wreck as well. Everything will be fine, you'll see."

Just then, the door to the library was opened. The king and queen turned to see who had entered. It was their hopefully soon to be son-in-law, Eugene. He was alone. That was not a good sign. Jonathan stood up quickly and stared anxiously at the young man, waiting for him to say something. "Well?" he asked with some impatience mixed with some nervousness.

Eugene was not looking at them, instead his eyes were turned towards the ground. Elinor glanced at Jonathan who looked like he was ready to explode with impatience. Eugene finally looked up at them, not smiling. Still not a good sign. "Well, I took her out like I said I would," Eugene began slowly.

Elinor and Jonathan nodded, encouraging him to continue. "We had a nice time," Eugene continued in the same slow, solemn tone, "Rapunzel really liked being out over the water. Actually she got distracted with it just when I was ready to give her the ring..."

"You didn't ask her?" Jonathan asked, dreading the answer. It was written all over his face, the news was not good news.

"Oh no. I asked her..." Eugene turned his eyes down again, not bothering to inform them of the answer.

"She said no?" Jonathan and Elinor asked simultaneously, both shocked, although Elinor managed to sound a bit more collected than her husband did.

"Of course not! He's just being silly!"

Jonathan and Elinor looked towards the door to see their pretty, short haired daughter run into the room and throw her arms around Eugene's neck. Eugene was grinning madly now, his arm wrapped around her waist. Elinor glanced at Jonathan who looked like he was ready to topple over any moment. "Wait, so... so you said yes?" the king asked, sitting in the armchair again.

"Of course I did!" Rapunzel declared, beaming proudly, "I've been waiting forever for him to ask!"

Eugene looked at her, surprised. "What? How long have you been waiting?" he asked, sounding genuinely confused.

"Forever!" Rapunzel said simply, "I have to say that after two years of waiting, I was beginning to think you were never going to ask."

Eugene frowned at this new information. "How was I supposed to know that you wanted it for so long?"

Rapunzel rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Eugene, you're just as oblivious as Mother said."

Elinor stifled a chuckle as Eugene glanced at her questioningly. She just shrugged and he looked back at Rapunzel. "You've been hinting at it?"

Rapunzel raised her eyebrows. "Maybe."

Silence fell over the room as Eugene stared at Rapunzel who was still beaming proudly. Elinor decided to break the silence. "So, let's see the ring, dear," she said to Rapunzel.

Rapunzel rushed forward and held out her hand to her mother, displaying the small band of jewelry around her finger. It was silver with one large purple stone in the center and a smaller diamond beside it. The silver band was embroidered with tiny leaves, and larger silver leaves surrounded the two jewels at the center. It was quite a lovely ring.

Elinor looked up at Eugene. "I must say, Eugene, you did a very good job of picking the right one for her by yourself," she remarked, lightly running a finger over the jewels.

Eugene, unsure of exactly how to respond to the compliment, merely nodded. Elinor looked back at her daughter's glowing face. "How would you two feel about postponing the wedding until two weeks from now, when spring begins?"

"Two weeks?" Eugene asked shocked by how short of a time that was, "How long does it normally take to plan a wedding?"

"We could marry you right now if you wanted," Jonathan said as though it were the most normal thing in the world, "It just wouldn't be a very public or formal affair."

Eugene had not expected it to be such a short amount of time. He opened his mouth, but found he really had nothing to say, even if he did he was unable to control his tongue.

"If we wait for a couple weeks, the flowers will be fully blossomed," Elinor said, "It would be a lovely wedding and reception."

"Yes!" Rapunzel cried merrily, "I love flowers! What do you think, Eugene? Two weeks? Is that alright?"

Eugene, still speechless, just gaped at his bride-to-be. Rapunzel looked back at her mother. "I'm pretty sure that means yes."

Elinor and Jonathan both smiled at their daughter's excitement and Eugene's surprise. "You had both better get to bed," Elinor said, "It's late and it seems we have a busy day tomorrow. We have a wedding to plan."

"Wed- wedding," Eugene mumbled. It seemed the realization of what proposing meant suddenly landed on his shoulders.

"Come on, Eugene," Rapunzel said, turning him around to face the door and pulling on his hand, "Mother's right. Let's go to bed."

Eugene didn't move. Rapunzel stopped pulling, walked around behind him and, pressing her hands against his back, began to push. "Come... on!" she grunted as he slowly began to move forward, "Don't be such a- oof!" Eugene had suddenly stopped again, making her hands slip so that she fell forward, her face smashing into his back.

She stood back up straight, rubbing her nose before 'humphing' and moving to his front. He was blankly staring at the doorframe. She placed her hands on her hips and frowned at him. "Eugene," she said firmly. Eugene managed to look at her even though he was still in shock.

Rapunzel held up her hand, "This is Mr. Tickle." She held up her index finger, "And this is Mr. Poke." She raised and eyebrow, "You've met them before. Which one do you think will get you to move faster?"

Eugene didn't answer. Rapunzel's mouth began to turn up, mischievously. "I think Mr. Tickle is the perfect choice for this."

Eugene's eyes suddenly flew down to Rapunzel's hand drawing closer to his neck. He was not ticklish anywhere except for one spot just below his chin. She had come across it accidentally when she was trying to fix his collar one day. Ever since then, he was at her mercy to 'Mr. Tickle' as she called it.

He grabbed her hand just before it came into contact with his neck and held to it tightly. "Oh no you don't!" he warned.

She giggled. "I knew that would work. I was afraid I would have no one to see me to my room."

Eugene raised an eyebrow. "You want me to take you to your room?"

Rapunzel smiled up at him, "Yes I would."

"As you wish, princess." With that, he bent over ad picked her up so that she hung half way over his shoulder, and began to walk towards the door.

"Eugene!" she cried, pounding on his back, "Put me down!"

"You said you wanted me to take you to your room, so I am."

"Eugene!" Her protests faded away as the couple disappeared out the door.

Jonathan and Elinor watched the entire spectacle with utter amusement. Elinor turned her eyes away from the door and back at her husband. "Well? What did I tell you?" she asked in high spirits, "She was sure to say yes."
