And here it is...the moment we've been waiting for! Sakamoto's gonna propose to Bao-Yi! Can you feel the anticipation?!

Chapter 6: Perfect Proposal

A few days pass and Sakamoto was ready to make the biggest plan of his life; propose to Bao-Yi and that one special day is right in front of him...his mate's birthday. He knew that he was gonna make this day extra special for her and that it'll come to a point where he wants nothing more than to spend the rest of his life with her and is gonna be the most wonderful day of both of their lives.

Sakamoto left the house that morning, wearing the most wonderful black and silver vest with some elegant tan shorts to go along with it to spend some time with Bao-Yi on her birthday and places the engagement ring box on his pocket so he can use it to propose to her later that day. He was on his way to her house and he knocked on her door, patiently waited for her to come out.

As soon as Bao-Yi came out of the house, she was dressed with the most sparkling gown that lit up the sky and it made Sakamoto's eyes widen up and the sparkle was on her eyes as well. He got entranced by her beauty so deeply that it almost made him lose a little bit of focus.

"Saka?" Bao-Yi asked.

Sakamoto eventually snapped out of it and got back to reality and he looked at her dress and he said, "That's a very beautiful dress."

Bao-Yi responded with a giggle and she said, "Aw, thank you, Sakamoto."

"And happy birthday." Sakamoto added, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Saka, you remembered!" Bao-Yi said, excitedly.

Sakamoto smiled at this and he responded, "Of course. Why else wouldn't I remember?"

She definitely felt really happy with him around and she wrapped her arms around her and kissed him on the lips and Sakamoto kissed her back too and as they break off, she asked, "So...what are we doing today?"

"It's your birthday. Anything you wanna do." Sakamoto replied.

That brightened her up that she wants to do everything she would want to do with Sakamoto by her side and she said, "I'd go anywhere with you, Saka. But...what about your work?"

"I got the day off." Sakamoto answered, with a smile.

"Well, in that case...wanna head over to our love area?" Bao-Yi asked, lovingly.

Sakamoto smiled at her and they held onto each other's paw and he replied, "Like I said, it's your birthday."

As soon as they made it to the love area, the sounds of the rushing waterfall was all they can hear and it generated a huge sense of peace and calm between the both of them and Bao-Yi was looking forward to spend the entire special day with her boyfriend and she went by their love tree and rubs the center of the carved heart and Sakamoto followed behind her and stood there.

"It just seems like only yesterday when I carved out this heart for you and we claimed it as a place for our love where no one can take it away from us." Sakamoto added.

"And it still remains right here and it's growing stronger at every minute." Bao-Yi added.

Sakamoto nodded his head at this and they marveled at the heart tree and the more they looked at it, the more their love will grow more and more stronger for the years to come. Not long after that, they had a picnic near the waterfall and Sakamoto brought in some of Bao-Yi's favorite foods that she loved so much. Even the birthday panda girl was surprised by all of this.

"Did you make all these foods for me?" asked Bao-Yi, a little surprised.

"Just this morning." Sakamoto answered.

Bao-Yi was really taken aback by this, but she loved the fact that Sakamoto would cook and as she tasted her favorites, she was deeply surprised by the taste of it. It was different from what it usually tastes like and she started to fall for Sakamoto's take on it and she said, "Wonderful...do you have any idea how good you cook?"

Sakamoto chuckled softly and he said, "Well...I spend a little time in the kitchen here and there with my mom, growing up."

"You've been taught so well, Saka." Bao-Yi replied.

Sakamoto tasted a couple of those spring rolls and he replied, "Thanks, sweetie."

Then, after that...both of them dived over the waterfall for a little swim and the two pandas swam to their heart's content, splashing the water and swimming underwater without a single care in the world. All they have is each other and that's all it really counts...just them two together.

They looked into each other's eyes as they got closer and closer and planted a huge kiss on the lips and it exudes major passion and more love than anything in their lives and when they broke free, another gaze into their eyes explains that they're having the time of their lives and that nothing could really ruin this moment.

Sunset comes around and both Sakamoto and Bao-Yi were watching the sun go down and a beautiful sight emerges right in front of them unlike anything they've ever seen before with a wonderful array of bright orange, purple and yellow clouds all around and Bao-Yi felt like she was having the best birthday of her life and spending it with Sakamoto made it really special.

"I'm having the best birthday I've ever had. Thank you for making it special for me, Saka." Bao-Yi said, smiling.

Sakamoto kissed her on the forehead and said, "I'm happy to do this for you."

"So...did you get me anything?" asked Bao-Yi.

Her eyes widened up like a child excited about something and Sakamoto felt like now is the perfect time to do this and he looked her deeply in the eyes and said, "Bao-Yi...this present that you have will resemble how much I've always loved you and you made me feel really complete whenever I'm with you. You are the most important person in my life and that no one will ever come in between us. But I am willing to do whatever I can to be here for you."

Sakamoto got down on one knee and pulls out the ring and Bao-Yi was definitely awestruck with where Sakamoto was going with this and she asked, "You're not thinking what I really hope you're thinking, are you?"

"Will this answer your question? Bao-Yi Meng...will you marry me?" asked Sakamoto, looking at her.

Bao-Yi felt really emotional and tears fell out of her eyes the minute Sakamoto uttered those words and she immediately replied, "Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Yes, I will marry you!"

She immediately leaped up to him and fell on top of him and kissed again and that really made their days the ones they'll remember the most and it'll be the happiest days of their lives that they're finally engaged. Sakamoto smiled at her and carressed her cheek and he said, "Thank you."

"I've been waiting for this for a long time, Saka." Bao-Yi said, in a sly tone.

"So have I." Sakamoto replied.

She said yes! Sakamoto and Bao-0Yi are officially engaged! How will the rest of the Valley react? Next chapter will answer that for ya!
