M'kay: this takes place before Franny and Cornelius are married. Franny's twenty and Cornelius is twenty two. The song is 'I can't wait' by Runner Runner. I hope you guys enjoy.
Cornelius woke up on a Saturday morning to his mother calling his name, "Corny!" She called. Cornelius didn't want to wake up right now so he rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. Lucille was persistent though because she knocked twice on his door and entered. "Corny dear, get up." Lucille said. Cornelius mumbled and lifted his pillow up and placed it over his head.
"Come on Corny. Get up. You need to get breakfast. It's eleven o'clock." Lucille said. Cornelius jumped awake. "What?" He yelled. He let out an aggravated sigh and quickly got dressed. He didn't realize it was so late. "When's the jewelry store close mom?" Cornelius asked.
Lucile gave her son a smile, "They close at twelve. BUT I know the owner so we can get in if we're not too late." Lucille said. She knew that Cornelius had big plans for tomorrow. "Okay thanks mom." He said.

Cornelius and Lucille made it to the shop minutes before it close. "I'm sorry madam, but we're about to close." A tall man with a French accent said. "Oh Gabriel, are you really gonna kick me out?" Lucille joked. The man looked at Lucille and smiled. "Lucille! It's so nice to see you! I haven't seen you in ages! How are you in Sir Bud doing?" Gabriel asked. Lucille chucked. "Oh Bud and I are fine. But me and my son, Cornelius, here are one a mission."
This intrigued Gabriel, "A mission? What kind of mission?" Gabriel asked. Lucille leaned over and whispered in his ear. Cornelius looked at the fine pieces of jewelry that surrounded them. "Oh my!" Gabriel exclaimed. He looked over to Cornelius, "I think I have the perfect piece for you." He said as he led Cornelius over to a showcase.

The next day:
Cornelius woke up early on this specific day. It was hopefully going to be one of the best days of his life. He walked downstairs. Cornelius knew that is girlfriend of four years would be coming over any time. But not only that, it was her birthday. He intended to make this birthday the best one she ever had. Cornelius chuckled as he imagined different images of Franny. Her driving her car and how every time he kissed her, he tasted different flavors of her chapsticks.
The way you curse when we're in traffic,
A million flavors of your chapstick,
The way you keep my heart captive.
There was a knocking at the door that snapped Cornelius out of his dreaming. "Come in!" He called. A minute later Franny appeared. White specks of snow littered her black hair. "Hey honey. For it only being January I'm tired of snow." Franny said as she brushed the snow out of her hair. "Happy birthday." Cornelius said as he stood up and kissed Franny. Lucille appeared a few seconds later, "Franny dear! Happy birthday. Would you like any pancakes?" Lucille asked.
"Yes please and thank you." Franny said. Lucille turned around and left. While they were eating Cornelius remembered how he and taken Franny to the Journey concert last summer.
Journey concert in AZ,
Remember we sang faithfully?
I still got that old hotel room key,
This is the way I feel.
After breakfast it was almost noon. Cornelius and Franny sat around and watched movies for most to the day. He needed to wait until six when the sun was setting. He kept thinking about the box in his coat pocket.
Cause I can't wait for you,
To be my wife,
To live this life together,
And I won't let you know,
I need you to know,
That you are my heart forever,
And on and on and on.
It was about four when Franny announced that she was going to go home for the night. Cornelius shot his mother a panicked look. Lucille blocked the door, "But you haven't had cake yet!" Lucille protested. Franny raised an eyebrow at her, "um. Okay?" Was all she said. Cornelius decided that he would go show her how far Carl was coming while Lucille quickly ran down to the ice-cream shop to get an ice-cream cake.
After he was done showing her Carl, they went downstairs for cake. Afterwards Cornelius asked Franny to go for a walk.
The way you like to sing my songs,
You always know when something's wrong,
The way you always miss me when I'm gone,
The things you do that show you care,
You're always down for truth or dare,
Freeze this moment,
Let me stop and stare.
Cornelius took her out back of the Robinson house. There was a small pond in the back. Cornelius stepped on it. Franny gave him a doubtful look. "Trust me?" He said as he reached his hand out. Franny looked from the pond to his hand. "Always." She said as she took his hand and they began to gently skate on it.
Nothing before was real,
This is the way I feel,
And I can't wait for you,
To be my wife,
To live this life together,
And I won't let you go,
I need you to know,
That you are my heart forever.
And on and on and on,
And we'll go on and on and on.
After they were done skating they stood hand in hand and watched the sun set over the woods. Franny laid her head on Cornelius shoulder. "Best birthday ever." He heard her say. Oh but the best part's not here. Cornelius though. "I have one more surprise for you." He said as he took her back into the house.
For better or for worse,
No matter how it hurts,
You've got me to hold your hand,
I promise you the world.
Cornelius led her to a set of double doors. He mentioned for her to open it, so she did. She gasped when she seen what was inside. The walls were painted a beautiful dark lavender color and there were mini instruments and a microphone. In the middle of the room, was a white podium. "But?" she said as she turned to Cornelius.
Cornelius was kneeling down on one knee, "Francesca Framagucci I love you with all my heart. I don't want to spend another moment without you. Well- I was wondering-" Cornelius said as he pulled out a little black box, "Would you marry me?" He asked. Franny lunged at Cornelius and hugged him. "Yes!" she said happily. Cornelius was surprised. Franny, the woman who he had never seen cry, was crying. They were tears of joy, but she was still crying.
In your wedding dress,
We'll dance till no one's left,
Don't wanna blink my eyes,
Don't wanna miss a thing.
Cornelius pulled Franny into a kiss. "Mom and Dad thought that well if you said yes that you'd need somewhere for Frankie and the boys to practice." Cornelius said with his signature nerdy smile.
And I can't wait for you,
To be my wife,
To live this life together,
And I won't let you go,
I need you to know,
That you are my heart forever.
After everything was over with, Franny and Cornelius were sitting on the couch watching television. Franny was wrapped in Cornelius's arms as she laid her head against his chest. "So. How did you like your birthday Mrs. Robinson?" Cornelius asked. Franny looked up at him and smiled, "Best birthday ever." Franny said tiredly.
And I can't wait for you,
To be my wife,
To live this life together,
And I won't let you go,
I need you to know,
That you are my heart forever,
And on and on and on,
And we'll go on and on and on.
He thought happily before he fell asleep with his new bride in his arms.
