A/N: Hi guys! So for starters, I'd like to give awesome idea bonus points to Carin from light-and-Shadows-Mist-and-ice for coming up with this idea! Sorry I'm just starting to write it now! Also if you haven't heard of them or read any of their stories I very very VERY much recommend it! All of their stories are very fun and interesting….. And angsty ;D Also I didn't know what to call this but…. It's basically just a big disaster. And I already have a story called that…. So voila: Catastrophe! Enjoy! (Side note: If you haven't yet read Forgotten I highly recommend it, that's when these characters first get introduced.)

Shane's POV

Shane had been planning this for exactly a year. A year being when he first met Tessa, of course. Was he foolish to think she'd fall in love with him just as he did her? Probably. Was it a horrifying idea to have hope that this day might become reality when he'd just met her? Absolutely. Now that this day was here, though, he was determined to make sure everything went perfectly.

He was sitting in the top of a tree, using shadows to subtly hide him. Any minute now, Linh, who'd become great friends with Tessa, would lead her down the path towards his tree.

Now, the plan was when she stood under the tree, he'd swoop down by levitating, land in front of her in the formal 'will you marry me' position. When she said yes, everyone who was hiding in the bushes would leap out and congratulate them. That…. Wasn't what happened.

Just as planned, Linh stopped beside the tree, and Tessa, right on cue, stopped beside her. Shane gathered his concentration, stood up on the branch….. And before he had the chance to levitate off of it, the branch snapped, sending him tumbling down, hitting every single branch practically, which earned a large number of swears at the tree. He landed in the bushes below, right on top of Fitz who yelled at him, which sent up a large amount of leaves.

A stupid wasp also decided to intervene, stinging Shane's neck. Letting out a sharp cry, Shane tried to swat it away but then the stupid grumpy horrifying creature stung Fitz, who also responded with a shout. Shane's flailing hands, to make it worse, wacked Fitz in the face which started an adult hissy fight.

How had this gone so wrong? So…. SO wrong? A hand reached through the bushes to pull Shane up, who now had twigs and leaves in his hair. Gratefully, he accepted it. The hand hoisted him up, revealing a beautiful Tessa who was, honestly, trying to contain her laughter but wasn't doing so great.

Trying to hide his embarrassment at his extreme failure, reached into one of many pockets in his now ruined, shredded, dirty jacket. He felt around his pocket but as if he hadn't already had the worst luck in the world, couldn't find the small, jeweled box that held a beautiful ring inside.

Muttering more curse words, Shane dove back into the bushes in a hurry. After about a solid two minutes, he felt a small box buried underneath a bunch of STUPID THORNS! Grimacing with pain as the sharp thorns pricked his already hurt hands, he grabbed the box and pulled it out of the bush.

His hands shook as he slowly opened the scraped up box. What if the ring was destroyed? It was going to be so amazing when he saw the care he'd put into this ring. He hadn't even ordered it- he'd made it himself.

Shane let out the breath he'd been holding back when he saw the unscathed ring nestled inside the box. He stumbled into a kneeling position in front of Tessa. However his knee holding himself up was shaking so bad, it buckled underneath him, sending himself face first into the ground. The ring tumbled out of the box, spiraling through the air. Shane could practically imagine it as it hit the ground, shattering into a million pieces.

Tessa, thank god, was awful quick and grabbed the ring mid-air with telekinesis. She spun it around in the air slowly, studying the precise detail Shane had put into it.

Inside Shane's mind, though, everything was shattering. His hopes of a future, hopes of marrying Tessa, hopes of regaining his dignity, hopes of riding a dinosaur, were slowly splintering into a million shards.

With a smile, Tessa pulled Shane up to a standing position, pulling him into a kiss that shook him from his despair. Everyone who'd been waiting jumped up, cheering and congratulating them even though, Shane later pointed out only to get an eye roll from Tessa, that she hadn't technically said yes. It was enough, though, and Shane thought perharps….. Perhaps one day he might indeed have a chance to ride a dinosaur.

A/N: I hope you guys liked that! There will be more, though, don't worry! Two more chapters are coming soon!
