The ProposalVolkner has a surprise for Candice now. P.S- I know, stupid way, whatever.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, duh.

Volkner paced around the gym nervously, today he was asking Candice the very, very important question. The door opened and Candice slid in discreetly, a force of habit.

"Hey! You seem nervous! What's wrong?" Candice asked, worried for him.

"N-nothing! Nothing is wrong! It's fine! I'm fine! Everything is fine!" Volkner chuckled fakely for Candice's sake, almost cutting himself off with all the quick choppy sentences. Candice looked at him suspiciously and his nervousness was making her a bit anxious for some reason.
"You'll tell me eventually!" she vowed, Volkner breathed a sigh of relief that she wasn't pushing the subject.....yet.

"Hey, why don't you let out Sneasel?" Volkner asked, grinning, feeling better that he wouldn't be alone for the first half of the question asking process. Candice looked at him oddly for the sudden change in mood, it was unlike Volkner.

"Okay....." she said, wondering what was going on, but released the pokemon anyway. Volkner had already told Sneasel what he was going to ask of Candice tonight. Sneasel also grinned, holding it's hands behind it's back and Candice looked between the two grinning boys in front of her, narrowing her eyes.

"Okay, you two are freaking me out...." Candice huffed, putting her hands on her hips.

"What's going on?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. Volkner nodded to Sneasel who took out a piece of paper from behind it's back and handed it to Candice, drawing her attention away from Volkner, then Sneasel quickly returned to his pokeball. Candice read the paper.

Check out Volkner.

That was all the paper said and Candice wrinkled her nose in confusion, but she did as she was told and looked for Volkner. She dropped the paper when she saw him and along with the paper dropping, her mouth dropped open with it. Volkner gulped, hoping that was an at least somewhat good sign. He was on one knee and had a hand in his pocket.

"Do you understand why I was so nervous now?" Volkner asked, smiling slightly, still nervously though. Candice nodded slowly. Volkner pulled out a ring.

"So, my wonderful girlfriend, Candice, will you do me the honor of marrying me?" Volkner asked. Candice nodded slowly again, still shocked. She was never expecting this from Volkner. She finally thawed out when the ring was slipped on her finger. She stared at it. It was a blue diamond in the middle with two white diamonds on the outer sides. The band was silver. It was very simple, and very Candice. Candice nearly tackled Volkner who had been getting up, but was now skidding across the floor with Candice on top of him. He let out an 'oof'. Then grinned up at Candice who was smiling back brightly down at him.

"I love you, Volkner." Candice said, kissing his nose. Volkner laughed and kissed her nose back.

"I love you too, Candi." Volkner cooed and Candice smiled at her nickname. She smiled down at him for a few moments longer before she started leaning down to kiss him. Right as her lips were about to touch his, the door to the gym flew open.

"Volkner! You won't believ-" Flint started, but froze, now he was the one to be not believing. Candice jumped backwards off of Volkner, blushing brightly.

"What do you want Flint?" Volkner growled in annoyance, leaning up on his elbows. He closed his eyes.

"Um....nothing Volkner, I'll just come back later." Flint said, slowly backing up.

"No! No! It's fine! I'll come back later!" Candice said, jumping up. Volkner slowly stood up next to her, still glaring daggers at Flint for interrupting them. Flint looked back apologetically and Volkner rolled his eyes.

"See ya later." he muttered, turning his attention to Candice and smiling slightly down at her. He pulled her to him and kissed her gently on the lips.

"Uh...bye Candice..." Flint said, grinning and watching her pass him. The moment Candice was out of the gym, Flint ran up to Volkner, grinning even wider than he was five seconds ago, only with a slight hint of a smirk on his face.

"Oh! Did you ask her? Did you ask her?!" Flint asked repeatedly, jumping up and down slightly. Volkner smirked.

"Call Roark and Byron, tell them to come here, then I'll give you the details." Volkner chuckled when Flint gasped.

"So you did ask her!" Flint then pouted, "But it's gonna take them like forever to get here." Flint whined.

"Then you better call them now." Volkner called over his shoulder. He chuckled lightly again. Flint and his girlfriend were kind of alike if you thought about it. He heard Flint's frantic yelling through the phone as he walked farther into the gym, already knowing how to navigate the maze-like area, he knew he would have to turn off the electric, or Flint would end up electrocuting himself again.
