(About) 5 years later

"Will you be my best man?" Finn asked his friend.

"You're kidding, really? I'm touched" Philby chuckled, but was surprised at the same time.

"Of course, I'm closer to you and Maybeck than anyone. I hope you don't mind sharing the title."

"Psh, not at all. We won't let you down" Philby winked.

…..

"What? Really?"

"You mean, you're surprised? You're my sister Jess" Amanda said.

"I guess I thought you were going to choose Willa" Jess shrugged.

"Well, sure her and Charlie are going to be in the wedding too but nobody could replace my sister" Amanda said as she hugged her.

Jess sighed, than squealed, "So, how'd he officially ask you?"

…..

The night before at Tony's Restaurant in Magic Kingdom (this might seem similar to their first date story I wrote awhile back, but I couldn't think of anything else that would make sense)

"You're beautiful, you know that right?" Finn asked Amanda while their dinner arrived.

No matter how frequently he'd told his girlfriend that, she still managed to blush whenever he said it. "Thanks babe. What's the occasion? We haven't been out in a long time."

Amanda was right. Their dates had become scares compared to their high school days. Over the years, the Keepers had gone their separate ways, but always made time to get together a couple times a year.

Whether it was Maybeck and Charlene on their spring break from University of Florida, or Philby and Willa taking a vacation from their jobs at the lab in Miami, they were never too busy for a chance to see each other.

Finn chuckled when he thought about the last five or so years since they'd graduated.

The nicest break the friends had received was a few months before when Philby and Willa announced they were getting married. It wasn't a big extravagant event, just family and a few friends. Not that any of them were surprised at the marriage, but it did get Finn thinking about the perfect moment he would make him and Amanda official. He knew it wouldn't hurt to spring up a proposal soon since they both had jobs and wouldn't be experiencing any long distance situations.

"Yeah, it's been awhile. I figured we deserved a night out to celebrate all we've been through" Finn said as he reached his hand to his pocket to reassure himself that the small box he'd given Amanda years ago was secure.

"I agree" Amanda nodded as she grasped Finn's hand and squeezed it before starting her dinner. Finn stared at her for a moment longer before doing the same. He realized how easy it'd been to propose when he wrote it in a note but he wanted to do it right and more romantic for Amanda this time. It didn't help that whenever something made him nervous, his hands would start to sweat.

"You're quiet tonight," Amanda said after she noticed the silence.

"Sorry, late nights at the studio" Finn stumble over his words. It's not like he was extremely nervous, but more of the fact that he wanted to surprise Amanda when he got down on one knee.

Amanda nodded, "they've really been draining the life out of you lately."

Finn realized his statement hadn't been a lie, for Disney had been keeping him into the wee hours of the morning.

"Don't worry about it" Finn said, as he put his arm around the now concerned Amanda. "Want to go on a walk? It's a nice evening" Finn asked, starting to get up the courage to actually go through with this.

"I was just going to suggest that" Amanda smiled.

They walked down main street holding hands before Amanda found an empty bench in front of the castle. Finn didn't think he was fully ready to go through with this, but with Amanda's head on his shoulder, he knew that this was the moment he'd been waiting for.

"Amanda" he whispered.

"Yeah?"

"I hope you'll forgive me but, I stole something from your apartment" Finn said in all seriousness, trying not to laugh. "I guess I figured you wouldn't mind" he shrugged. Finn later wondered how he came up with this approach to the most important question he'd ever ask.

"Finn!" Amanda exclaimed, mortified at what he'd just said, "What'd you take?"

Finn chuckled and got down on one knew as she squealed. "I filled the box," he whispered, taking Amanda's shaking hand.

…..

"And I said yes!" Amanda smiled as she showed Jess the ring on her left hand.

"Whoa, he did good" Jess gapped at the rock on Amanda's finger. It was simple and small but beautiful, just what Jess could always picture Amanda wearing.

"I know!" Amanda exclaimed, "I was totally surprised, I mean, I thought I would've noticed a change in his behavior."

"I'd think so too" Jess grinned, "So, when's the wedding?"

…..

"You guys are putting together a wedding in two months? Are you crazy?" Maybeck said after Finn told him the news and asked him to be best man.

"Yep, should be interesting" Finn chuckled.

"That it will be. I'm sure the girls will get it figured out" Philby said, "Willa was amazing when we were planning."

Finn smiled, as he was reassured. "Well while Philby helps the girls" Philby eyed Maybeck as he spoke, "I'll make sure you don't get cold feet."

Finn chuckled, "I highly doubt that'll happen."

Or will it? Find out soon! Thank you Tjnolen1 for the idea! I can't believe I've decided to write a 4th installment of the prom story…wow. -Amanda
