Sorry this wasn't up yesterday! I had to go to my friend's bridal shower and then work on my tax stuff. Boo for being a grown up. I am trying desperately to get back to my regular schedule though. So hopefully I can pull it off.

Well, enjoy. Oh, and try not to hate Malcolm Reese too much. There's a method to my madness, I assure you.

Chase is the first to find out. He walks into the room he shares with Logan and Michael to find the shorter boy listening quietly to whoever is on the phone, his eyes wide and his face serious. Chase watches the emotions that flit over his friends face, wondering what on Earth kind of conversation he could be having and with whom.

"Fine." Logan whispers, fiercely and Chase is taken a back by the anger in his voice.

The brunette snaps his phone shut, throwing it onto his bed with more force than Chase thinks is necessary. He looks tense, so tense that Chase is actually tempted to offer his friend a shoulder rub. He looks that bad. "Uh, is everything okay?"

Logan's eyes snap open, and for a second Chase is sure that Logan is going to yell at him, make him regret ever being curious about what could have possibly happened. Instead, he just sighs, running his hand through his hair and throwing himself on his bed next to his phone. He answers Chase's question, but he's facedown in his pillow, so he's sure the other boy can't hear him.

"What?" Chase asks, confirming Logan's suspicions.

"My dad," he repeats, lifting his head from the pillow, "cut me off."

Chase raises an eyebrow. "Again? What did you buy this time?"

Logan flushes bright red at this question and he can tell Chase's interest is piqued. He's not easily flustered after all. He mumbles something and Chase leans a little closer from his position on his bed, half jokingly and half hoping maybe it will help him understand his friend better. "Huh?"

"An engagement ring." Logan repeats.

"WHAT?" Chase jumps off his bed, nearly hitting his head on the bunk above him in the process. "I, uh, I mean wow dude. That's, that's pretty serious."

Logan sits up, crossing his arms and giving his friend a look that clearly screams duh. "I know that."

Chase sits back down, although he still looks like he's just been given the shock of the century. "So you were going to propose to Quinn?"

"Am going to." Logan corrects. "And yes. I even called her dad and got his permission. Then I bought a ring and had it delivered. When my dad saw the charge he called me asking about it and I told him I was going to propose to Quinn. He told me if I did it then he would cut me off. For good."

Chase raises an eyebrow. "That must have been a hell of a ring if it made your dad want to cut you off."

Logan's face hardens then and the fury that Chase had heard in his friend's voice a little while is suddenly visible in every inch of his body. "The ring was only a few thousand dollars. Quinn doesn't even like big gaudy jewelry."

"Then why would your dad…"

"He doesn't think I should be marrying Quinn."

"W-what?" Of all the issues that the bushy haired boy had imagined his two friends would face, he had never expected it to be something like this. Especially since Chase knows that, before marrying Malcolm, Logan's mother hadn't had a penny to her name either.

"He-he doesn't think we're a good match. She's not from money or some bullshit excuse like that."

"Oh my god." Logan nods. "So what are you going to do?"

Logan is silent for a few moments and Chase almost begins to fear the worst, which is terrible because he's never seen Logan so happy as he is with Quinn. Quinn brings out the best in Logan and they work so well together that Chase can't believe no one thought of them together before. Finally Logan looks his friend dead in the eye and speaks with such a serious tone that for a moment Chase can hardly believe his talking to the same boy who used made a video of himself dancing so all the girls at PCA could enjoy his "moves."

"I told him exactly where he could shove his money and I'm going to ask for your help coming up with the most romantic and on a budget proposal that has ever happened."

Chase's face splits into a huge smile because, for the first time since he's known him, he really feels like Logan's actually going to be okay without a platinum card with no limit. "Well buddy," He gets up, moving to his desk and pulling out a notebook and pen, "let's start planning."

They end up getting everyone, even Dustin, to help in what Logan hopes will be the greatest moment of Quinn's life. He's never been more nervous, but it's the good kind of nerves, the kind that remind him that his life is about to change in, hopefully, the most wonderful way possible. Zoey and Lola take Quinn to Sushi Rox, while Chase sneaks into their dorm and leaves a surprise for Quinn on her pillow. Michael, Lisa, Dustin, and Vince run around campus, leaving more surprises for Quinn and making sure that there is a least one person in the area who is aware of what is going to happen and will make sure that no one messes with anything before Quinn gets there.

Logan heads to a bench and sits down, hands clutching the engagement ring in his pocket, and tries not to pass out.

"I can't believe they make that flavor. I think Blix might be going downhill. I mean TomotoBerry? That doesn't even sound good." Zoey tells her friends as she opens the door to their dorm.

Quinn and Lola both laugh because, while they love Blix, their blonde friend does have a point. They all spill into the room, giggling and full from sushi. Quinn stops at the sight of a single white rose resting on her pillow. "What's this?" She smiles; knowing full well who it must be from.

She walks over to her bed, picking up the rose and the single piece of paper that rests beside it, completely missing the excited looks Zoey and Lola give each other. She takes a moment to smell the flower before turning her attention fully to the paper. She gasps in surprise as she reads the words.

I love you, Quinn, more than I ever thought possible. Would you do me the honor of playing a little game…

Okay, so how many of you want to kill me for ending it there. The next chapter will be all about the proposal and we'll hear from Logan's dad one more time too.

Well hope you guys are enjoying this. There's three more chapters left after this one and hopefully they'll be worth the wait!
