A/N: Back to the past future! Here is the story of Gunther and CeCe's engagement. I hope you all love a GeCe chapter!

On another note, someone asked how old everyone was. In the future family storyline, it is 20 years after Rocky and CeCe's graduation. Rocky, CeCe, Tinka, Gunther, Deuce, and Dina are 38, Flynn is 33, Ty is 40, and Logan is 39. In the memory storylines, the ages vary as they take place in different years.

The first time that Rocky and CeCe saw Gunther after he left unexpectedly to the Old Country was five years later. Tinka and Gunther communicated while they could while he was gone, but they hadn't been on the absolute best terms when he left, so they didn't correspond with him. It was like Gunther had been erased from their lives and Rocky rarely spared a thought about it.

On the night that they were reunited with Gunther, Rocky had flown to New York to watch CeCe's opening night for her new show. She had the second most important female role.

CeCe had gone to college for a year, before she decided to move permanently to New York and get a job on stage. Rocky, being the over thinker that she was, constantly worried about CeCe's decision, but CeCe became a background dancer almost immediately and soon started working her way into better roles. Rocky had to admit that she was impressed.

She and CeCe stayed later after her show as Rocky showered CeCe with presents and compliments and CeCe basked in the attention.

Eventually though, Rocky needed to break up their little friendship party, because she had to get back to her hotel room so she could get some sleep in before she had to start driving back to college the next morning.

As they exited out of the back door of the theater, a tall man was standing there, hands in his pockets and a grin spreading across his face as he caught sight of them.

"Hello Baybees," the man said in a thick accent with a teasing tone to his voice.

The girls stared at him for a moment, then to Rocky's surprise, a broken sob sounded at her side. She glanced over and saw CeCe biting her lip trying to keep from crying, but a tear made its way down her face. Rocky was about to help her friend out when CeCe flew forward.

CeCe reached her fist up as if she was going to punch Gunther's chest, but her hand just stayed about 5 inches away, shaking.

"CeCe?" Gunther turned his head, trying to look at her face, but she was staring at the ground and refused to look at him.

After a few tense seconds, CeCe seemed to fall forward against Gunther, her fist gripping onto the front of his shirt. "Why didn't you say goodbye? Why didn't you ever contact us?"

"I didn't know you wanted me to," Gunther cautiously brought his arms around her, running one of his hands up and down her back in a comforting way.

A few minutes later, CeCe pulled back, recovered from her moment of weakness, and lectured Gunther about everything she could think of.

Rocky was standing there watching the whole event in disbelief. She wasn't sure that she understood any of it, especially the way Gunther was smiling as CeCe insulted him in her loudest voice.

Before Rocky knew it, CeCe and Gunther were together. Just like that. It was kind of like they'd been waiting for each other all this time and now that they'd reconnected there was nothing to keep them apart.

A few years later, Rocky was a happily engaged woman, her wedding with Logan only a couple short months away. She was cleaning up her apartment when her cell phone rang. She picked it up, spotted CeCe's name on the screen, and answered "Hey, hey, hey!"

CeCe laughed at her old greeting. "I'm glad someone is in a good mood, because I have something BIG to tell you!"

Rocky rolled her eyes. CeCe always had something big to tell her, whether it was grabbing the new lead in a popular musical or buying a new pair of designer shoes. "What is it?"

"You know how Gunther took the part of the leading male role after my other co-star injured himself and was unable to perform?" CeCe asked.

This was old news. "Yes," Rocky answered patiently.

"All right. Well, we've been performing on stage together as love interests for a while now and everyone loves us," CeCe told her excitedly.

"Did they give you a couple name and start stalking you in public?" Rocky asked teasingly.

"Last night, he proposed on stage! We're going to be married! You're not the only lucky girl, Rocky!" CeCe squealed.

Rocky nearly let the phone drop. "You're kidding?! And you said yes?!"

"Duh, I said yes," CeCe stated in her most mature voice. "We're not the same kids that tried to deport each other or steal the spotlight or whatever anymore."

"I don't believe you, CeCe Jones," Rocky shook her head in disbelief.

"You had better, because you're going to be my maid of honor!" CeCe laughed.

"Fine, I believe you. What color are the dresses going to be?" Rocky giggled. "How did it happen again?"

CeCe took a deep breath and told her.

CeCe prepared herself backstage. She removed the lacy gloves from the 19th century outfit she was wearing and got ready for the encore.

As the crowd began cheering and clapping, Gunther appeared at her side, reaching for her hand.

"Where have you been?" CeCe glanced up at him. Usually they stayed near each other when they were backstage.

Gunther's only answer was a shrug. "Come on! It really sounds like they want us out there."

The cast came out on stage, took some extra bows and CeCe prepared herself for the big reprise number they offered to encoring audiences, but instead, the spotlight narrowed until just she and Gunther were highlighted.

The orchestra struck up a song, but it wasn't the most popular dance number, it was the love song where the hero declares to the heroine that he wants her to stay with him forever.

CeCe looked over at Gunther for an explanation, as he started singing, and found him on his knees holding up an open ring box. CeCe's eyes flickered to his and saw the sincerity in them. This was Gunther, asking in his own flashy way, to marry her.

The crowd was going wild. This was an experience of a lifetime for them too, but it was going to be the best moment in CeCe's life.

When it came time for her character's line, CeCe was ready. She sang it back to Gunther, before nodding vigorously and shouting "Yes!" at least 3 times.

As soon as they were backstage, CeCe swung around to glare at Gunther. "You sure know how to make a scene!" She knew that he wouldn't believe for a moment that she was angry though.

"I figured you couldn't say no if there was an audience," Gunther teased her, reaching over to pull her close to him.

"Ha! You've been thinking I'd say yes since I was about 14 or something," CeCe laughed.

"Hoping, that's the word you're looking for, or maybe dreaming. I never know anything with you except to expect a surprise. That and to never let you know that you're getting to me," Gunther put his hand on the back of her neck and kissed her.
