AN: Whiee! I can't believe that this only took me 3 1/2 hours (the poem part was a bit tough. xD) to make and it was 6 pages long! hahahaha Thanks for all those wonderful feedbacks. :D And I hope that you'll like this chapter as much as I do. :D

DISCLAIMER: I don't own glee. :|


Okay. So, tonight's the big night. I've been having these butterflies in my stomach since last night. I can't wait to propose to Tina. Since it was morning already (I guess...), I decided to call Tina to check if she's ready.

"Good morning Tee, are you ready?" I asked.

"Artie, its only 4:30 in the morning," she yawned. "You're too excited...Can you please give me my beauty rest?" she laughed.

"Oh, yeah. (I checked my clock, it was morning...4:30 in the morning.) " I laughed. "Sure, you can go back to your sleep. Sorry for disturbing you."

"Okay...I guess I'll just text you later." She said.

"Okay, Tee. Love you. Bye."

"Love you too. Bye."

Tina was right. I was so excited for tonight, I didn't notice that it was just 4:30 in the morning. As much as I wanted to go back to sleep, I can't. So I decided to check my things. When I got back to my bed, thankfully I got back to sleep even for a few hours. When I woke up, I got a text message from Kurt.

"Hey there Cassanova, it's Cupid here. HAH! So, tonight's your big night! Hahahaha I guess you're really excited. Don't worry, we've got you covered. ;) =))"

"Well, good morning Cupid. Hahaha Kurt, thanks alot for your support. It means alot to me. " I replied.

"No problem. Hey, what are friends for? =)) I'll text you later Art, I've gotta prepare my stuffs."

"Sure. Thanks again. "

When I went down to the kitchen downstairs, I've noticed that my parents were acting weird, even my sister.

"Okay. What's going on here?" I asked.

"Nothing, honey. Tonight's your prom night, right?" Mom laughed. I simply nodded to her.

"Is Tina your date? Is she? Is she?" Khloe asked.

"Yep," I smiled. "Hey dad, can I ask you something?"

"Sure." He nodded, "Let me guess, it's about Tina...right?"

"Yes Dad." I frowned.

"Why? What's your problem?"

"I'm n-nervous. REALLY nervous. You see, I'm proposing to her tonight. I'm asking her to be my girlfriend."

"I thought she was already your girlfriend?"

"Nope. She's not. We've just been hanging around, going out, and enjoying each other's company. But we're not yet official."

"You know son, if you really love her, then you should go for it. Fight for your love." He smiled.

"And why would you be nervous?" Mom said. "You're a handsome, smart and a true gentleman. And most of all, you know that she loves you. Why would you be nervous, if there's nothing to be nervous about? "

"But what if..." I butted.

"Your mom and I didn't raise you to be a coward, Arthur." Dad laughed.

"Okay dad." I laughed.

"That's the spirit, son. And remember, no one in our family, even your ancestors, was a coward." He laughed.

That afternoon, I got a call from Mercedes.

"Hey Art!"

"Hey there hot momma!" I laughed.

"So, are you ready?" She laughed too.

"Yes ma'am!" I laughed. "Hey M, can I ask you a favour?"

"Sure thing, honey."

"Uh, can you please pick-up the flowers I ordered from the florist? I'm going to pick up Tina at her house. I can't put it in our car, she might see it."

"Sure thing!" She laughed. "That's why I called you, I was going to ask you if we're gonna pick up those flowers or you're the one who's getting it. Oh well, I'll just tell Kurt." She laughed again.

"Oh. So that's why you called." I laughed.

"Yeah. So I guess I'll see you later, Artie. I've better get ready, Kurt's going to pick me up in a few hours."

"Okay. I'll see you later! Bye."

"Buh-bye."

Okay. This is the moment. I'm on my way to Tina's house. Damn these butterflies won't stop. It's making my knees shake.

"Okay Art. We're already here." Dad said.

"C-can you come with me dad?" I laughed.

"You're a big boy now. You can handle that." He laughed too.

"Okay, here goes nothing..." I said as I went down our car.

DING DONG!

I rang their doorbell.

"Hi Artie!" Tina's mom said when she opened the door.

"Good evening Mrs. Cohen-Chang." I smiled. "Is Tina ready?"

"I'm ready!" Tina said while fixing her dress. "We've got to go now, mom. I'll see you later!" She kissed her on the cheek. "Artie, let's go?"

"Okay." I smiled. "Bye Mrs. Cohen-Chang." I waved goodbye to her mom. I must say, I was really swept off my feet when I saw Tina in her Aqua Blue cocktail dress that she, Kurt, and Mercedes personally designed. She really looked stunning.

"Y-you look pretty." I said while I was staring at her sparkling, Almond-shaped eyes.

"Why thank you." She giggled. "You look handsome too." She smiled.

"Thanks." I blushed. "Would you like to come in?" I opened the door for her.

"Good evening, Mr. Abrams." Tina said when we got in our car.

"Good evening to you too, Miss Cohen-Chang. You look really lovely. And I think my son is one lucky guy tonight." He laughed.

"Well, he is." She laughed.

Our trip to the venue was a bit awkward since my dad was there. So the rest of the trip was a bit quiet.

"Okay kids, we're almost there, be ready." He smiled.

I immediately texted Kurt when I heard him.

"Hey Kurt, where are you guys? Please text back immediately."

"Don't worry, we're already here. Calm down, okay? Everything's okay now. It's all covered." He replied.

"Okay. Thanks." I was kinda relieved when I read his text.

"Ooo-okay, we're here!" Dad said.

"Okay dad. Thanks." I said while I was getting down.

"Bye Mr. Abrams!" Tina said while getting down.

"Okay, now you two enjoy your night!" He smiled.

"We will, dad. We will." I winked at him. He just laughed.

When we were at the registration booth to register, I saw Kurt and Mercedes and the rest of New Directions inside, sitting at one table (except for Santana, Brittany, Mike and Matt of course. They sat at the Cheerios table).

"I guess we're kinda late, Tina." I said to her while signing the paper at the desk.

"No you're not. You're just in time, sir. The programme is about to start in about 15 minutes." The lady said.

"Yeah. The lady's right." Tina laughed.

So when we got in, we joined the other guys at their table.

"Hey Tina, you look beautiful tonight." Rachel said.

"Thanks." She smiled. "You look beautiful too."

"So Artie, you ready?" Kurt whispered. I just simply nodded.

When the first part of the programme was finished, the DJ started the party. For the first few songs, me and the rest of the gang danced our butts off, but when the DJ started to play some slow songs, things got a bit serious. I called Kurt and Mercedes to come with me to the corner where Tina wouldn't hear us so we could talk about our plan.

"So guys, you ready?"

"You bet! We're just waiting for your cue, Lovebug." they laughed.

"Okay. Let's do this!" I smiled.

"Yeah!"

"Oh and Artie, I hope you wouldn't mind if we told it to the others." Mercedes said.

"Sure, that's fine with me." I laughed.

After that, Kurt went to the DJ booth at the stage to request the song I chose. Then Mercedes went outside to get the flowers from Kurt's car.

"Okay guys, can I ask Mr. Artie Abrams to go here to the stage?" the DJ said.

When I went there, he gave me the microphone and he smiled and said to me, "Good luck, Artie."

"Thanks." I whispered.

"Uh, okay." I can feel my knees shake as I talk to the microphone.

"Okay, Artie, you can do this." I thought to myself.

Then I pulled out a paper out of my pocket. There, I wrote a poem dedicated to Tina:

"You changed my world with a blink of an eye
that is something that I cannot deny.

You just don't know what you have done for me
you even pushed me to the best that I can be.

You really are an angel sent from above
to take care of me and shower with love.

Tina Cohen-Chang, I promise you that I'll love you until my life is through.

You have been my best friend..." I paused. Then I stared at Tina.

"Now, can you be my girlfriend?" Then everyone started cheering.

While I was reading, I can feel that my cold sweat was falling down from my forehead, my knees were still shaking and I was really blushing. There, I saw everyone in New Directions, even Mr. Schue, was really proud at me. Then when I looked at Tina again, tears were falling from her eyes.

"Where's this lucky lady named, Tina Cohen-Chang?" the DJ said.

"She's over here!" our friends shouted.

"So, what's your answer, Tina? Is it a yes?"

"Yes." She nodded while wiping her tears.

"Wow. Congratulations, Artie!" He smiled at me.

I immediately went down the stage to hug her. As I went down, Mercedes gave me the flowers so that I could give it to Tina. Everyone was happy for me and Tina.

"Okay, so here's a song that Artie dedicates to his girl, Tina." The DJ said then he started playing the song I requested.

"Artie," She said when I gave her the flowers. "Thank you."

"So Tina, can I have this dance?" I offered my hand.

"Sure." She smiled. "Artie...Thank you..." she said while we danced.

"For what?" I asked.

"For being there always for me. Thank you for being a great friend to me. Thank you for loving me and accepting me as I am. Thank you..." She cried again.

"Oh Tina," I said as I wiped her tears. "You don't know how thankful I am for having you in my life." I smiled.

"Tee, I want you to listen to the song." I said. Then I sang along with the song:

"...I just can't believe that you are mine now

You were just a dream that I once knew
I never thought I would be right for you
I just can't compare you with anything in this world
You're all I need to be with forevermore

All those years I've longed to hold you in my arms
I've been dreaming of you
Every night I've been watching all the stars that fall down
Wishing you will be mine

I just can't believe that you are mine now...

...Time and again there are these changes
That we cannot end
As sure as time keeps going on and on
My love for you will be forevermore"

"My love for you will be forevermore, Tina. I promise." I said as I was looking straight to her eyes.

"Mine's too." She kissed me. "I love you, Artie." Then she embraced me.

"I love you too, Tina." I whispered to her ear.


SO? What do you think? :D

The song Artie sang was "Forevermore" by Side A. (A local band here in the Philippines. Here's a link to the song: youtube .com/watch?v=HTWVh2OGMvQ)

I decided to put that song because I think it really matches the story of Artie and Tina, not just here in my story, but in the story of the tv series. :)) And because we sang that song in our glee club that's why I decided to put it in the story. :))))

I can't wait to share the next chapter to you guys! ;) :D

REVIEWS ARE LOVE. :D
