Oh god, I'm getting all emotional! So Welcome back to la finale of Now the Commoner. Thank you guys so much for the support on this story, it has been amazing, and here's to roughly 14 weeks of me uploading this. Um, stick around at the end, cause I have some questions for you guys, but until then lets begin!

Third Person POV:
The next few months was a complete stress feast. Everyone was rushing to finish their dissertations and projects, as well as trying to revise for the end of year exams.

Ben was the first to finish his dissertation, and his success made everyone else more stressed. He slightly calmed down, causing everyone else to freak out. He solely focused on the exams that he was taking, and had received feedback saying that his writing piece was superb, and easily one of the best in the class. It was also given to the university in Bayou de Orleans to make sure that Auradon University weren't being too generous, and that university said exactly the same thing. Ben had secured a very good grade on his project, and he was thrilled.

Evie was probably the second person to finish her project, and she was thrilled. It's safe to say that she hadn't been herself recently. She stopped wearing as much make-up, and only placed her hair into simple styles saving her a lot of time. Once she had finished her dissertation, this all quickly changed, and the old Evie was back. She also focused on revision for her exams, having a study group over at least twice a week, and she went to everyone else every other night.

Carlos' robot project was coming along well, but he always wanted to add something else to it. Carlos was panicking massively, and was trying to make his robot absolutely perfect. Ben had to literally pry him away from it, and convince him that it was fine. And of course Ben was right. Carlos got the highest grade in the class, saying that his robot was 'unique' and 'inventive.' This gave Carlos a lot of hope, and he focused more on his revision. Ben and Carlos saw little of each other over this period, as they were always out studying with class mates.

Lonnie and Doug finished their projects last. Lonnie had been working on hers all year, so she wasn't too worried about it. Doug was similar to Carlos, trying to make sure that it was perfect, and it was, so none of them had to worry.

When exam season hit, they were all prepared. Everyone went into the exam claiming they didn't know anything, and came out saying they failed, so it was the typical response. Everyone had finished their exams by the 29th of May, and the university and their house kicked them out on the 1st of June. Luckily, they had all already found places to live so they were prepared for the future. Well, at least they thought they were. Ben had told everyone that he was holding an end of year party, but he had a hidden agenda. Belle got involved relatively quickly, and they both made sure it was absolutely perfect.

31st May, 7:30pm, Ben's POV:
I decided that the party should begin a little earlier this time, and I had something in mind, so I told everyone to meet us at 8:00pm. However, I was experiencing some nerves about the whole event. I had asked Evie to design Carlos and me the perfect suit, but had kept the reason a secret. The suits she designed amazing, and Belle had said that I could get changed at the castle. I needed to rehearse, and make sure that everything was perfect. Whilst I was getting changed in the toilet, she was waiting in the bedroom to provide the finishing touches. "What if he says no? What will I do then?" I asked her, panicking entirely.

"Don't worry Ben, he won't say no. It's all going to be fine. You have been planning this for ages, everything will be perfect" she reassured me, but to be honest, it didn't really help. I was too paranoid to be calm. Until it had all happened, it would be in this state. I promised to pick up the gang from the house at 7:45pm, and we would all arrive in a limousine to the event. You know, because we could. I walked out of the bathroom, and Belle gasped at how I looked. "Ben, you look amazing" she said, brushing down the suit, making sure there was no dust on it. I messaged Evie, telling her we were on our way.

Carlos POV-7:30pm:
I had gotten changed into the suit that Evie had made it, and it was amazing. I'm not quite sure why she made it, but I didn't want to turn her down. She had obviously worked hard on it, and it would have been rude to say no. "Have you guys seen Ben?" I asked, noticing his lack of presence all day. Evie answered.

"No, he said that he had a few errands to run before the party, and that he would pick us up at 7:45pm." We all sat eagerly and waited, until we saw the limousine pull up outside.

"Here he is" I said rather sarcastically at the limousine outside. We walked outside, and Ben greeted us. He looked smashing, in his blue and gold suit as usual. I was in a black, white and red suit of course. "We never change" I said to him, gesturing to our suits, and he just laughed.

Ben's POV:
I was completely freaking out when Carlos got into the limousine. He looked so perfect in his suit. His shirt clings to his muscular chest, and his blazer emphasises his strong shoulders. I was completely lost for words, so I just stared at him. Evie and Doug noticed, and decided to bring up a topic of conversation, the future, and it didn't settle my nerves. "So, what are you guys going to do next? I mean, we're finished with education" Evie said, and I just freaked out.

"I-I'm not sure. I haven't really thought about it. Hopefully I can get a job I can enjoy" I answered. I hadn't really thought about my future beyond tonight. Evie explained that she planned to open her own fashion business, and we all knew she could do it. She made fantastic dresses, and with her degree, she knew how to run a business. Carlos was a little unsure as well. He said that he wanted to do something with engineering, but he was unsure what. Doug was exactly the same to be fair, it seems no one had any plans. As well all knew, Lonnie was returning to her kingdom, to assume her place as advisor, so this was probably the last time we would ever see her.

We arrived at the ball, and my heart was now in my mouth. Everything was happening so fast, and I wasn't ready for it. Oh, snap out of it. I had been preparing this for weeks or months by this point, I knew what I was doing. Carlos and I got out of the limousine first, and linked arms as we walked into the ball. To be fair, it's not like anyone really cared. Everyone was too busy dancing to notice that we entered. God it wasn't like I was a prince anymore.

We made our way straight to the bar, and ordered ourselves a few drinks. Belle pulled me away from Carlos, saying she needed to borrow me for a second. "Right Ben, at 9:30pm, Carlos' favourite song is going to come on. Like we planned, get to the middle of the dance floor. All the lights will go out, apart from one spot light on you and him. And then…"

"I propose to him. I've got his don't worry." I reassured her. Anyway, Carlos and I spent about half an hour at the bar and then we chatted to some people. Some from my course, and some from his. It reached 9:00pm, and I decided it was time to drag him onto the dance floor. I could see everyone was getting ready, and I knew it was time when the whole room went completely dark. I got down onto one knee as his favourite song started to play, and he just looked at me "Ben?" he asked, but I began my little speech.

"Carlos, the last four years of our lives have been hectic to say the least. But throughout them all I loved you. When I met you on the Isle, you were the first person who didn't try to hurt me. Instead, you listened to what I had to say, and ended up saving my ass. You offered me refuge when no one else would, and you introduced me to the most amazing people. God, you travelled the whole of Auradon trying to save me from my own stupidity. This last year has been the best of them all. We've managed to stay strong under some considerable stress, and you've always been there for me when I needed it. Now, I know that I haven't been the best boyfriend in the world, but I was wondering if you would do the honour, of marrying me?" I finished, pulling my beast ring of off my finger and holding it up to him.

I could see the tears in his eyes as I did so, and he screamed "YES!" as loud as he possibly could. "Yes Ben, I will marry you. Yes yes yes!" he kept repeated as I slid the ring onto his finger. I pulled him into a passionate kiss, the first one as fiancé's, and it was absolutely perfect. We must have stood there for at least two minutes, whilst everyone cheered and clapped for us. Eventually we needed some air, so we both pulled out of the kiss, and looked into each other's eyes. The moment could have not been any better.

Everyone came up and congratulated us, and through it all, I never let Carlos out of my arms. I never wanted to let him go. We shared a dance, with everyone, and then headed back to the bar to get absolutely smashed. This night was about us after all. The party must have lasted all night, as usual, and we got back to our house at 10am the next day. Everyone slightly hungover.

After university, everyone went their separate ways. Carlos and I moved into a small, one bedroom flat as we both started to look for jobs. Carlos quickly found one, whereas I wasn't so lucky. The wedding took place about a year later, and it was absolutely perfect.

Evie started up her own business relatively quickly, as Belle decided to back her idea, and boy did it take off. Before long, Carlos did the same, restarting De Vil Industries as an electrical and mechanical manufacture, and his business took off as well. Within 3 years, Evie's and Carlos' businesses were thriving, and they were making a very good living for themselves.

Carlos and I lived together through the whole thing, and nothing was bringing the pair of us down!

Well, in that moment of time...

Ok, so it's a bit of a short chapter, and I tried to leave it on a cliff hanger, but even I admit it was slightly...shit. But there we are, Ben and Carlos are engaged/married and living happily together. Again, thank you all so much for the views, favourites, follows and reviews on this story, it's so sensational, and of course thank you to Sexly Sango for the review, and I hope this lives up to the happy ending.

The next story will be posted next Thursday, or maybe Friday, depending if I decide to change the schedule, but what I wanted to ask you guys was for feedback. Let me know what you think of anything and everything that I'm doing. Do you like the weekly updates? Personally I do, cause it's not as much stress for me with all my uni work, but what do you guys think?

I've started a BTR story, which isn't close to being finished, but with that one I'm trying to be a bit more descriptive with everything I do, as I've noticed I tend to be a bit to the point but what do you think? Like I said, all feedback is welcome, and I really want to hear what you guys think of it all.

I'm done rambling now, so until Monday TTFN :)
