Eugene's POV:
Okay, 6 o' clock, this was it! I stood outside the Snuggly Duckling right in front of our table and waited for Rapunzel to show up. I was insanely nervous, and you could tell because she was 10 seconds late and was already coming up with these ideas on why she wasn't here yet. Maybe she knew what was up, and didn't want to deal with it! Maybe she was on her way and got attacked a bear!
My little freak out session was interrupted by the beautiful girl that appeared from behind the trees. Rapunzel walked forward wearing a blue dress with white lace, and flowers by the sleeves. Her hair was neatly brushed, with two pink flowers holding it away from her face. That just made me more nervous, I'm sure I looked like an idiot when I gawked at her.
"Hi Eugene." She said smiling at me
"Um, I, uh, Hi," I said forgetting how to speak, I cleared my throat, "you look incredible..."
"Thanks," she blushed, "you clean up pretty well yourself."
I smiled and pulled her chair out for her, then took my seat.
"This place looks great!" She said looking around the restaurant, "Why all the formality?"
"Oh, no reason..." I answered her, "So what do you want to eat?"
"Hmm... That looks good!" She told me pointing at the lobster one of the waiters was bringing in
"Lobster it is." I smiled, "Waiter!" I called across the place
The evening went by pleasantly. Rapunzel told me about her day and I'd nodded, smiled and interjected opinions whenever I could. After awhile, she stopped talking; I looked down on her dish to see it was empty. I fidgeted with the ring in my pocket before standing up.
"Blondie there's something I need to say to you, could you come with me?" I asked putting my hand out for her to take
She took one last sip of her water and stood up as well, "Okay."
I led her inside the Snuggly Duckling and we were met by dozens of thugs, "Blondie!" they shouted simultaneously
"Hi everyone!" Blondie greeted back before turning to me, "What did you need to tell me?"
I took a deep breath, here we go.
I stood on one of the stools in the bar, and looked her in the eye, "Rapunzel!" I said loud enough for everybody hear, "You are a beautiful, smart, amazing woman!"
"Eugene..." She blushed
"If you were to count all the good things I've done in my life, none of them would be enough for me to deserve you. But somehow, I was lucky in enough to be the one to find you in that tower, and that was the best decision I had ever made."
I jumped off the stool and got down on one knee in front of my princess, "I promise to love you until the day I die, Rapunzel. Will you marry me?"
With that everyone cheered and Rapunzel was completely speechless. Next thing I knew I had been ambushed to the floor by a very excited princess, hugging me so tight I almost couldn't breathe, and she was saying "yes!" so many times it begun to sound like a chant!
"YES!" She said once again pulling away from the hug, "Yes! Yes. Yes..."
She leaned in closer to kiss me with all the passion inside her, I returned the kiss just as passionately. Everyone in the Snuggly Duckling cheered, and Hook- hand played a happy tune on the piano. She pulled away and rested her forehead on mine.
"I love you..." She said smiling
"I love you too..." I replied as I squeezed her against me as we sat on the floor watching our thug friends dance the night away.
