CHAPTER 19

Thoughts ran wildly through Sydney's head as she sat in the passenger seat of the yellow Monaro Kaylee had borrowed them. Her blindfold had been secured so well by Vaughn that she couldn't see a bit of light, not that she would have seen much anyway since it was around ten o'clock at night.

"Come on Michael! Tell me where we're going! Please?" she pleaded, knowing that he wouldn't tell her, but figuring it was worth a shot.

Vaughn chuckled softly, this was about the fourth time she had asked him where they were going in about five minutes. "Sweetie, you and I both know that I am not telling you where we are going, but we'll be there in about fifteen minutes, okay?"

Sydney sighed, giving up for the moment, "Fine."

Vaughn saw a Hungry Jacks (A/N- or whatever other fast food/take away place you want that sells ice-creams or sundaes) and decided that he could go for a caramel sundae. "Hey babe, I'm going to get a sundae from Hungry Jacks, you want one?"

"You know the person at the counter of the drive-thru section will think you've kidnapped me if you don't take this blindfold off, but yes, I would like a chocolate one." Sydney replied with a smirk.

Vaughn laughed and turned into Hungry Jacks. There were two cars ahead of them so he decided to take off her blindfold for the moment since she wouldn't be able to figure out where they were headed from here. Sydney blinked a few times before smiling and thanking him.

A few minutes later they had received their sundae, and luckily for Sydney she had been blindfolded many times, so she started to eat her sundae and managed to get most of it in her mouth, although she had some chocolate smudges on her cheek and nose. Vaughn looked at her and grinned, and with his right hand reached into his jeans pocket for the millionth time to check that it was still there. It was.

Finally they reached their destination. Vaughn stepped out of the car and walked around to Sydney's side, opening the car door and helping her out, the blindfold still secured around her eyes. He gently took of the blindfold and she blinked a few times before opening her eyes fully and gasping at the sight in front of her. Looking down she saw beautiful lights of orange, yellow and red, as well as some blues and other colours from the city below. Vaughn had taken her up to the lookout, after asking Brian about it after reading about it in a brochure. Brian had told him that Monday night would be the most secluded, as everyone had just returned from the first day of the week back at work, and usually they would come earlier, if at all, which is the reason why Vaughn brought Sydney here at ten thirty. There was only one other couple there, and they were on the other side of the lookout. Sydney was still gazing at the lights as a smile appeared on her face.

"So, what do you think?" Vaughn asked, taking her smile as a good sign and grinning at her.

She grinned back. "I think it's amazing."

The two of them leaned against the hood of the car and Vaughn started to eat his sundae, while Sydney continues to eat her's. Vaughn chuckled lightly when he remembered the chocolate fudge on her face. Sydney looked at him quizzically.

"You have chocolate all over you face," he told her, laughing. She reached up to wipe it off but he grabbed her wrist, stopping her. "I'll do that for you," he told her, licking off the chocolate and causing Sydney to giggle.

After about ten minutes of looking at the city lights and talking to each other about nothing in particular, Sydney decide to ask the question that had been nagging at her for awhile now.

"So, why did you bring me here, anyway? How'd you even find out about this place?"

Vaughn smiled gently, "Well, actually I wanted to ask you something." He pulled out the ring from his pocket and held it between his thumb and forefinger. Sydney gasped and covered her mouth with her right hand, as tears sprang to eyes and she tried to contol her emotions. The other couple was gone and they had the entire lookout to themselves. It was just Sydney, Vaughn, and the light's of Adelaide.

Vaughn gently took Sydney's left hand in his own and rubbed his thumb across her palm. The ring was beautiful; the band was gold with a clear diamond in the middle, and two smaller, purple amethysts on either side. Amethyst was her favourite crystal and she felt a surge of adoration run through her, knowing that he had remembered such a small detail about her. Vaughn kneeled down slowly and began to talk.

"Sydney, ever since you walked into my office that day in October, with dried blood on your lips and that red wig on, I new there was something different about you, besides the fact that at the time I thought you might be crazy, which I told you that night at the pier," Vaughn chuckled to himself, "God, I can remember that night like it was yesterday. When you held my hand I knew that I loved you. I didn't know how or why, but I knew that I did. My feelings for you since then only grew stronger as I got to know you better, as you confided in me and looked to me for advice. When we first kissed, it was like nothing else existed. I feel that way every time I'm around you, and I honestly don't think I would mind much if we were the only two that existed. Your love for your friends and family, your determination and strength, the way you make everything look so easy, your beauty, your sense of humour, the way you always tuck your hair behind your ear, how you always put others before yourself, how you have the most amazing smile I've ever seen, I found these all to be part of the reason why I love you. I want to spend every moment of the rest of my life with you, and I can only hope that you want the same. Sydney Anne Bristow, will you marry me?"

By this time Sydney had tears running down her face. She removed her right hand which had been covering her mouth to reveal a wide grin, and started to jump up and down and squeal, while Vaughn laughed at her excitement.

"Can I have an answer sometime today? You can't just leave me hanging here!" Vaughn told Sydney playfully. Sydney stopped squealing and bent down on her knees so that she was at Vaughn's level.

"Yes! I would love to marry you Michael Vaughn!" and with that she leaned in and kissed Vaughn passionately, so hard that Vaughn was almost literally knocked off his feet- or knees. Once they finally broke apart she hugged him fiercely, wrapping her arms around his neck before placing quick kisses all over his face.

Vaughn laughed again, rubbing her back gently while she continued with the kissing, "Sweetie, I am so extremely, totally glad that you're as happy as I am about this, but I didn't search every jewellery shop in all of LA and almost all of Adelaide to find you the perfect ring when you don't seem to want to put it on."

Sydney stopped kissing Vaughn and he stood up, extended his hand to her and helped her up as well. "Okay, go ahead," Sydney told him, bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet, her wide smile still in place, as she held out her left hand.

Vaughn held her hand gently with his left hand while he placed the ring on her fourth finger with his right. She looked at it from a distance before she squealed again, wrapping her arms around his neck as Vaughn lifted her from the floor and spun her around in circles. When they were both starting to feel dizzy Vaughn put her down. He leaned his forehead against her's and pushed some of her hair behind her ear.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too," she replied, as always.

During the entire ride back to the hotel the two of them kept sneaking glances at each other, both with equally large smiles plastered on their face. When they reached the hotel and got out of the car Sydney began to squeal and jump around in a circle while Vaughn looked on in amusement. Sydney climbed up onto the stone wall bordering the garden and jumped onto Vaughn's back, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. He pushed her higher on his back so that it was more comfortable, and he piggy-backed her into the entrance of the hotel as they thought that the gang might be out at the pool, which was closer to the entrance then their rooms were. The piggy-backing couple earned quizzical stares from a young guy and girl at the reception desk. Sydney grinned at them and held out her hand, "We're engaged!" she said to them excitedly. The two smiled and the girl ran up to Sydney to have a look at the ring.

"Oh! It's gorgeous! Congratulations!" the girl said as she looked at the ring in admiration, and then grinned at the couple who looked as though they were about to scream out to the rest of the world what had just happened. The guy also congratulated them and after some small talk Syd and Vaughn finally made their way to the pool.

Walking outside to the pool area they found Kaylee and Brian sitting together on a deckchair talking, Weiss, Jed and Troy were swimming in the pool and Eliza was filing her nails and sitting in a deckchair on the opposite side of the pool to Brian and Kaylee.

Kaylee stood up when Sydney and Vaughn arrived, and Vaughn helped Sydney climb off his back. He was amazed that she didn't slip on the floor as she practically sprinted over to Kaylee and showed her the ring. Brian walked up to Vaughn and the two laughed at Kaylee and Sydney who were holding hands and jumping up and down on the spot, grinning and squealing.

"Congratulations mate," Brian said to Vaughn, shaking his hand.

"Thanks man," Vaughn replied, still grinning. He was so relieved that she said yes, he thought she would but he couldn't know for sure, but excitement and happiness had taken over that feeling a while ago, when she said yes.

Eliza saw and heard what was going on, her face was growing pink and she was now gripping her nail-file extremely tightly in one hand, her nails digging into her palm. Sydney snuck a glance at her and her grin widened (if possible) as she saw Eliza stand up with a huff, and walk off to her room at a power walk.

"So you finally asked her to marry you, huh? Bout time," Weiss said as he approached, he shook Vaughn's hand, they probably would have hugged but Weiss was dripping wet and Vaughn wouldn't go within an arms length of him. Weiss and the other op guys kissed Sydney on the cheek and congratulated the two again, before Syd and Vaughn said they were gonna go up to their rooms for awhile, it was already late and the two of them wanted to spend some time alone.

The now engaged couple walked happily down the lit paths until they found their room and they walked in, arms still wrapped around each other. They collapsed in a heap on the couch and for some reason Sydney started giggling. Vaughn looked at her in confusion but soon started laughing with her. Neither of them had a reason for doing so, but when Sydney looked up and saw Vaughn laughing she just started laughing more, and Vaughn hoped she wouldn't pass out or anything. They eventually stopped and Vaughn lied down on the couch, pulling Sydney with him.

Vaughn kissed Sydney on the crown of her head gently, "I love you."

Sydney laughed gently and pushed herself up to look at Vaughn, "I love you too, would I have said yes if I didn't?" she asked teasingly.

"I'd hope not," he replied. He shifted a little to get more comfortable and tightened his grip on Sydney's waist.

"Did you see the look on Eliza's face?" Sydney asked him with a grin.

This time Vaughn laughed, "Sure did, she didn't seem to share our joy."

"She didn't, did she?" Sydney asked with a laugh, "we're still going shopping tomorrow, right?"

"Of course, I would never dream of depriving you of such a thing," Vaughn replied with smirk, "Oww!" he said when Sydney slapped him on the arm lightly.

"Oh please, you and I both know I could do a lot more damage then that," Sydney told him.

"True, the guy at the pool that you slapped would probably agree too."

"I'd say so! Anyway, we have a big day ahead of us so we should probably just go to bed," Sydney said, hiding a smile as she got off Vaughn and started to walk to their room.

"But...but..." Vaughn stuttered, jumping off the couch after her. "Come on Syd, do you have to look at that ring again? I think I deserve a treat for that!" He said, smiling.

"I think there's some ice-cream in the fridge!" Sydney called back, trying extremely hard not to laugh. She loved when they played around like this, it made her feel so normal, she felt like Sydney, not Agent Bristow.

"Awww babe! You and the ice-cream don't compare!" Vaughn said as he caught up to Sydney who had just stepped into their room. He closed the door behind him and Sydney sat on the bed so that she could take her shoes off, the grin had managed to escape. Vaughn kneeled down in front of her and put on a puppy dog face, making him look even more adorable, although in Sydney's opinion no other guy could beat him in the looks department anyway, or any other department for that matter. (A/N- I know what you're thinking and that's not what I mean! I meant like personality and stuff, oh forget it, think want you want!)

Sydney grinned at him and put her hands on either side of his face, leaned in and kissed him deeply on the lips. Vaughn kissed her back and they both ended up lying down on the bed, Vaughn on top.

"I win!" Vaughn said with a playful grin. Sydney just laughed and kissed him again.

The next morning Vaughn awoke to Sydney jumping up and down on the bed, already having showered and dressed, applied her makeup, and had her bag ready with her purse and other necessities in it, ready for their shopping trip to town. Vaughn smiled in amusement; in all the time he had known Sydney Bristow he had never seen her jumping up and down on a bed like a four year old. He managed to wrap his arms around her legs and pull, bringing her back down, not very gracefully.

"Good morning!" Sydney said cheerfully, bending over to give Vaughn a quick kiss on the lips.

"Morning," Vaughn mumbled sleepily, "What time is it?"

"Eight o'clock, and you need to get ready," Sydney replied as she started to tug on his arm.

"What? Why?" Vaughn asked in confusion, wondering why his sleep in was being cut short.

"Have you already forgotten that we're going shopping today?"

"I haven't forgotten, but the shops aren't even open yet."

"I know that, but you still need to have a shower and get ready, and then we have to have breakfast, and it will take us at least half an hour to get into the city, and Kaylee recommended we leave early so when we get there it isn't too busy."

Vaughn sighed in defeat, "Okay, okay, I'm up."

Sydney grinned brightly, "Good, now move." She pushed him along to the bathroom and then slapped him playfully on the ass before reaching out to close the bathroom door. Vaughn turned around and raised his eyebrows suggestively.

"You know, there's plenty of room in this shower if you'd like to join me," he said with a cheeky grin.

"No thanks, I've already had my shower, maybe if you'd gotten up earlier we could have arranged something, but oh well," Sydney replied as she started to close the door.

"Awww Syd," Vaughn whined with the puppy dog face again.

Sydney laughed and reached up to tap him on the nose, "Maybe tomorrow," she said before kissing him deeply and closing the door.

"I can't wait till tomorrow!" Sydney heard him shout through the closed door. She laughed quietly to herself and went into the lounge to watch some TV while Vaughn showered.

Vaughn grinned the entire time he was in the shower as steam surrounded him and the hot water slid across his skin. The grin stayed in place as he stepped out of the shower and grabbed his towel. He started drying himself off but stopped short when he noticed something on the mirror that he missed when he had entered the bathroom. Written neatly in what appeared to be red lipstick was 'SB &MV 4eva' with a love heart around it, and underneath in capital letters were the words, 'WE'RE GETTING MARRIED! Vaughn shook his head in amusement and laughed softly. God, he loved that woman. He knew he'd love being her husband just as much.

A/N- Yes, I know this isn't exactly a great chapter to end with, but as I said I have run out of ideas and many of my reviewers wanted to see Syd and Vaughn get engaged, so I thought I'd do that for you! Plus most of you seem to like the fluffiness so I tried to include as much as I could in this chapter. Once again thankyou all for reading and reviewing my story, you don't know how much I appreciate it! Here are the rest of those messages to my reviewers! Anyhow this may sound really stupid but I need to ask you guys something. To all the other authors I was just wondering how you get your writing in italic and bold? I put them in italic and bold when I write my stories in Microsoft Word but they never come up when I post them. Whenever I write what a character's thinking the writings meant to be italic, and my authors notes are usually bold! It's extremely annoying so if you know what I'm doing wrong please let me know! Also I'd love it if you reviewed this chapter! I've been trying to read at least one story of my reviewers if they have written Alias stories, so sorry if I haven't gotten around to reading your's yet.

Alyce- I'm guessin your an Aussie too then! Lol. Good guess, i thought people would figure out he would propose i didn't exactly make it hard to figure out, but congratulations on guessing! Glad you love my story!
