Hey thanks for reading and reviewing the last chapter i hope people will like this one just as much. Again i don't own a thing from sea patrol but of course i wish i did.

ET's POV

I was halfway out the door when i realised that i forgot to give Nikki a kiss goodbye, so i turned around gave her a kiss. Going back was the biggest mistake i made. I gave into her beautiful eyes and told her half of the reason i was off in such a rush, i was going to apply for a transfer and that she could tell her friends about us. Leaving her in a rush i went to visit Marshall at NAVCOM.

"Josh good to see you, this a serious matter?" Marshall asked.

"Not too serious boss just want to know if i can get a transfer to another ship?" Josh replied.

"Uh...something wrong with the Hamersley mate?"

"No... no nothing wrong mate, it's just i'm in love with the navigator sir and we would like to come public with everyone, also i want to marry her."

"ok i will try to get you a transfer if you would like we can fill out the paperwork now if you like?"

"Sure I'm in no hurry"

They sat there for at least an hour answer questions talking about the ship and also about Nikki, but finally the paperwork was done and i was out of there. Looking at my watch i discovered it was only 10:00am and i was ready to put my plan into action. First i had to find a ring.

I called Buffer and arranged to meet up with him, i wanted his help so i had to tell him what was going on. Buffer was quite happy with the relationship and he was happy to help.

35. we went to 35 different jewellery shops in 4 hours, it was getting closer to 2:00pm and i was about ready to give up on the search when i came across the perfect ring for Nikki. It wasn't too flashy but it was enough for her nad it suited her perfectly. The price would set me back a few thousand but i didn't care she was the love of my life.

Having the ring tightly in my pocket there was only one more thing that Buff and i had to get ready, that was dinner and i decided it was going to be chicken cacciatore, Nikki's favourite. With the ingredients bought i just needed to get home to cook it as it was getting closer to 4:00pm by now.

NAV's POV

With Josh gone i was able to do whatever i wanted, so i dragged myself out of bed and invited the girls over. They couldn't get here until around 1:00pm so i had heaps of time on my hands. I went to the corner shop and bought a heap of junk food for the afternoon and hired a couple of dvd's. Back at home i still had 2 hours so instead of sitting around doing nothing i cleaned the house vacuuming and mopping took up the time and Kate was soon on my doorstep.

"hey Kate thanks for coming, lets wait for Bec before i tell you my good news then we can enjoy the afternoon together." I said.

We both walked to my lounge room and had only just sat down when Bec turned up i yelled for her to come in and she did. Sitting on my couch i was nervous as hell, i don't know why because i knew that i wanted to tell them and announce my feelings for josh but what if they felt that i was doing the wrong thing.

"Okay, so I'm guessing you know that i asked you over so that i could tell you some good news, well here goes, I'm dating Josh, and he is transferring to another boat." I held my breath for their reply.

"Wow congratulations, this is fantastic." They both shouted.

My relief was major when i found that they were happy for me. We spent the rest of the afternoon watching movies and pigging out on junk food by around 5:00pm they had both gone home and i decided to get ready for my dinner with Josh. Remembering that he was coming to my place tonight i quickly cleared up then went to put on a dress and fix my hair. I was ready when i got a text message from Josh asking me to go to his house.

"Lazy bugger, doesn't want to drive here." I silently chuckled to myself. I quickly grabbed my keys, locked up and went to drive to Josh's house. Butterflies were in my stomach but i don't know why because i had been to his house before, this time i thought would be different.

Okay there it is the second chapter, next will be the proposal and a twist in events. Please review :P
