AN: Well, here is my newest, and final story in the so called "Proposal" trilogy. Well, now that Michael and Miley are officially engaged, they have the undaunting task of telling their families about it. Of course, with the Fourth of July quickly approaching, Michael and Miley decide that it would be best to tell his family first. Oh boy...

Chapter One: Planning and a Plane Ride

They were back in his apartment, well, you might as well call it 'their' apartment since she basically stays there all the time now, and Michael was wide awake, staring at the ceiling. He could not believe what he did a few days earlier. Michael managed to finally work up the nerve to propose to his girlfriend of three years, Miley Stewart. She said yes, and now they were officially engaged.

But wait, how did their families take the news, you might ask?

That's just it, they didn't. By 'they didn't' I mean that they do not know of their engagement. Hell, they haven't even told their friends about it. The scary thing about this entire episode, is the fact that they have to tell them, sooner or later. Those were some conversations that the young couple were not looking forward to. Especially Michael, for one important reason.

His older sister, Marie.

Michael was sitting at his kitchen table, dressed in his black pajama bottoms and a white t-shirt, chatting on his cellphone when Miley walked in. She wore her matching pink pajamas, and noticed that Michael was on the phone, talking with someone. She walked right over, sat right on his lap, and he hung up the phone.

"May I help you?" Michael smiled.

"Who was that?" Miley asked sleepily.

"Charles, he told me that I better start packing for our annual Fourth of July celebration." Michael said.

"Why?" Miley asked him.

"We are heading out to Saint Louis, and we are going to be doing the celebration out there." Michael answered. "I told him that I would go, unless I brought you along, and he said yes."

"Thanks, but who's house is the party taking place at?" Miley asked. Upon asking that, Michael took a deep breath, and he told her.

"My sister, Marie." Michael said. Miley got off his lap, and sat in a chair next to her fiancee. It was no secret that Miley and Marie had a bad relationship. Hell, the Hatfields and McCoys had a better relationship, and fought less, ladies and gentlemen.

"Michael, you know that Marie and I can't stand each other." Miley told him.

"I know, but we are gonna get married in the future, so I am hoping that somehow we can put this thing to rest." Michael said, grabbing her hand and looking at the ring on it.

"I don't know." Miley answered in an unsure tone of voice.

"Please, babe, for me?" Michael said, his blue eyes staring into hers.

"Okay, I will try." Miley said, caving in. Michael smiled, kissing her and heading into the bedroom. Miley just sat there at the kitchen table, and growled.

"Great, now I have to deal with Queen Bitch..." Miley said under her breath.

"So, let me get this straight." Melody asked Michael. She came over to sit and talk with him, and she got the news that Miley will be accompany the three of them as they head out to Missouri in less than a week.

"You actually think that it is a good idea to bring Miley out to Marie's house?" Melody asked him.

"Yeah, I hope that I can finally settle the feud between them." Michael said.

"They despise each other." Melody said.

"I know that." Michael said.

"Now you think this is a good idea, why?" Melody asked him in an honest tone of her voice.

"I just think that it is time for Miley and Marie to lay their fued to rest." Michael said sadly. "I just hope that it will happen before something terrible happens."

"Yeah, I hope that too, but you do know that Marie is gonna try and kill her, right?" Melody asked him.

"Boy, aren't you just a ray of damn sunshine, huh?" Michael asked her.

Michael put his suitcase at the door, and wondered what was taking Miley so long. He sighed, and went to see what she was doing, and to his surprise, he saw that she was pacing in the bedroom.

"Miley, what are you doing?" Michael asked, leaning against the door frame.

"I am sort of nervous about meeting your family." Miley answered him, still pacing.

"It is going to be fine." Michael said, grabbing her by the shoulders, and forcing her to stop pacing.

"Are you sure?" Miley asked him once more.

"I'm sure. I am going to be with you, after all." Michael said. "They won't do anything if I am there."

"Thanks, that makes me feel a whole lot better." Miley said, grabbing her suitcase and taking it to the door.

"By the way, does Marie know that I am coming?" Miley asked from the living room.

It was a good thing that Miley was not able to see Michael, because he cursed under his breath when she asked him that. Marie did not know that Miley was coming, and she was in for a big surprise when they arrived.

"Yeah, she knows that you are coming." Michael lied. He knew that something bad was going to happen.

The plane ride went smoothly, and Michael was glad that it did, but that was not all that was on his mind. Michael looked over towards the woman that he wanted to marry, Miley, and smiled as he stared at her sleeping figure. Charles and Melody were a few rows ahead, and they were busy doing their own things. As the announcement came over the loud speaker that they were about to land in Saint Louis, Michael started to grow nervous.

They were slowly descending into Saint Louis, and as the plane got ever so closer to the ground, Michael felt his stomach knot up. He really did not want his sister and his fiancee to argue, but he knew that once they saw each other, he was not going to be able to stop them from going at it. The only question that he asked himself in his mind was how bad it was going to get.

Well, we are all going to find out... Michael told himself.

AN: Well, in the next chapter, Charles, Melody, Miley and Michael arrive in Saint Louis, and at Marie's house, and Miley and Marie meet. Oh boy...
