Ok so this takes place about nine-ten months after the last chapter and is based on the second verse.

"So…"

"So what Z?"

Syd and Z were sitting cross-legged on the floor of their shared room, Syd painting her toe nails and Z reading a magazine. It was Sky and Syd's one year anniversary and Z wanted to know what was going on.

"You know what I mean."

"No I don't."

"Fine, what are you and Sky doing for you anniversary?"

"Well he just told me that I should wear something nice but not overly fancy so I don't really know what that means."

"Sounds to me like he has something up his sleeve. Maybe it will be a romantic dinner and then you will com back and celebrate in a different way."

"Z, you know we haven't done that yet."

Z gave Syd an incredulous that made her shift uncomfortably on her bed.

"I knew that as of two months ago that statement was true but its been almost a year I was kind of expecting it to happen."

"Well, it hasn't. I'm actually kind of scared to take that step because I don't want to ruin what we have."

"Sky loves you and you know that this is the natural next step in your relationship. He would never hurt you."

"I know, I guess it's because I've never felt this way before. I know I'm in love but now I realize that I never want to be with anyone else ever again."

"Wow, have you told him yet?"

"No, I was waiting for the right time. Ok, enough of this heavy stuff lets pick something out for me to wear tonight."

Z laughed and she and Syd walked toward the packed closet. Syd opened it and pulled out three dresses. The first was a light pink peasant dress that stopped at her knees, the second a red and purple halter dress that was slightly shorter than the pink dress, and the last one was a flowy royal blue dress with a tasteful V-neck and stopped at her knees.

"I'm sure you would look great in any of them, but my favorite is the blue one. I think Sky will love that you're wearing one of his colors and it will make your eyes look fantastic."

"You know Z? For claiming to not be very good at this girly stuff you did a great job." Thanks so much for helping but I'm going to go get ready now."

"Ok, have fun tonight pinky and tell me all about it tomorrow."

Z left the room to seek out Bridge and ask if he wanted to watch a movie and eat some toast with extra butter.

A few hours later

Sky was pacing nervously around his room waiting until he could go get Syd and take her out for their anniversary. He knew that what happened tonight would change their relationship but he didn't know if it would be a good change if she said no. He finally had to sit down because his knees were shaking so baldy. He never thought he would need someone as badly as he did Sydney. He had always been stoic but her sunny personality and her commitment to bring him out of his shell had changed him and in the meantime she had found her way into his heart. Now that she was there he never wanted to let her out. He looked at the clock and realized that he was almost late. He stood up and grabbed his jacket checking the pockets before putting it on. He then left to go pick up Syd.

"Syd, are you ready?"

"Yeah, just a minuet Sky."

Sky sat on her bed waiting patiently for her to come out of the bathroom. When she did he was astonished at her appearance. She looked amazing and she was wearing his color. He felt a pull when he made that last realization. He stood to embrace her.

"You look breathtaking."

"Thanks, it would have been easier to pick an outfit if I knew where we were going."

"Patience is a virtue."

With that he led her outside to his car that already had the essentials for tonight in the trunk. They drove for a few minuets before arriving at the beach. Sky walked around to her side of the car and opened the door for her. He then grabbed her hand and walked to get the basket from the trunk.

"A picnic?"

"I hope that this is ok?"

"It's perfect."

They walked, hand-in-hand, down to the sand where Sky laid out the blanket and put the basket down. The pair ate in a contented silence and then Sky brought out two wine glasses. He filled them so that they each had about a half of a glass. He then offered his hand to her.

"May I have this dance?"

"Sure, but there's no music."

"We don't need it."

They twirled in each others arms for an unknown amount of time before they decide to lie down and star gaze.

"Just look at the sky, it's like the moon is a spotlight among a sea of stars."

Sky didn't answer he just nodded and looked as though deep in thought.

"Syd, I need to ask you something."

"Ok, you know you can talk to me about everything."

"Well, I know we've been together for a year now and it's been the best year of my life. I think that it's time to take our relationship to the next level."

He then sat up and reached for his pocket and pulled out a small object. He then moved to kneel in front of Sydney's shocked form.

"Will you marry me?"

She looked shock to say the least. He assumed that she must have thought that it was too soon for this.

"I'm sorry, I guess we should leave no…"

He was interrupted by Sydney lunging at him kissing him long and hard.

"Of course I want to marry you!"

He slipped the ring onto her finger and kissed her hand.

"I love you, Sydney, forever."

"I love you too, Sky."

"Will you let me show you?"

She nodded and with that they loved each other under the stars just continuing their love song.
