A/N: SORRY FOR THE DELAY… THERE WILL ONLY BE A COUPLE MORE CHAPTERS, THEN PERHAPS A SMALL SEQUAL… I'M NOT SURE YET.

ANYWAY, THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS. MY GOAL IS TO GET OVER 100… ENJOY!

Kira stood in the back of the room as people continued to file into the grand ballroom of the Reefside Country Club. The wedding of Anton and Ella had finally arrived and this New Year was sure to be a happy one.

"Kira!"

Kira turned at the sound of her name and saw Tori and Blake enter. Blake was still in his wheelchair, but he had a smile on his face. Tori was right beside him beaming.

"Hey guys!" Kira said as she bent down to hug Blake and then rose to hug Tori. "I'm so glad you made it! Where's everyone else?"

"Parking the van. Figured they'd drop me off first," Blake said laughing. "One of the perks of being mobile." Tori and Kira laughed lightly. "You look very nice," he said to Kira.

Kira smiled. "Thanks. You should see Ella. I never knew she could be so pretty."

"Not as pretty as you," Trent said as he wrapped his arms around her. He greeted Tori and Blake as well, and the rest of the Ninja Ranger team that had arrived.

Connor, Ethan, and Tommy escorted everyone to their seats and soon the ceremony began.

As Anton and Ella exchanged, Blake couldn't help but notice the looks that were exchanged between Trent and Kira. Perhaps another wedding was on the way shortly…

That thought made him smile. He took Tori's hand in his as the couple up front said their 'I Do's' and felt Tori squeeze it back lightly. He grinned inside, having knowledge that he hadn't shared yet…

His thoughts were interrupted as the ceremony was sealed with a kiss and the partying began…

"C'mon Blake… ou otta dance, man!" Shane said as he slurred his speech a bit. Blake laughed at his teammate.

"Later, bro," he said as Shane went back to the dance floor with Kelly. He grinned as he saw everyone clearly enjoying themselves as the clock ticked closer to midnight.

Hunter spun Kapri while Dustin and Marah were doing some dance of their own that made everyone laugh. Cam had brought Leeann, and the two were also dancing, as were Shane and Kelly.

He looked over at Connor and Ethan who were with two girls, Krista and Angela if he remembered correctly. They were all dancing as well. Then there was Tommy.

He, Anton, Ella, and Hailey were all sitting together watching as their charges enjoyed themselves.

Blake fought back with everything he had from revealing his secret, but he wanted to wait until the perfect moment.

Tori came back from the bar and handed him his drink, kissing his cheek lightly.

"Enjoying yourself?" she asked. Blake hauled her down into his lap and kissed her. When they pulled away Tori grinned. "Just wait until you're out of this thing," she said referring to the chair. "You won't be able to do that anymore."

Blake smiled and kissed her again. "I can try."

Just as they were about to kiss again, Kira cleared her throat over the microphone. "Alright ladies, it's time for the bouquet toss!" she said happily.

Blake ushered Tori out of his lap and she grinned. "You seriously don't expect me to do that?"

"Yes I do… look, Kelly and the others are going up. You need to." She gave him a mock-threatening glare and walked over to the small group of women who were gathered around the stage.

"Be careful Blake!" Hunter yelled to his brother as he saw Tori approach the stage. Everyone laughed at the comment and saw Blake turn a light shade of red.

Tori turned to her left and saw Kira with the same expression on that she had.

"Here goes nothing," Ella said as she turned and tossed her flowers towards the girls.

Everyone watched as the bouquet made a perfect arch in the air and landed directly in Tori's arms.

Tori's face was priceless. "You've got to be kidding me," she said laughing as all the girls in the group surrounded her.

"It's a sign," Kapri said as she and Hunter walked back with Tori to Blake. As they reached the table, Trent got on the microphone and called all the guys for the throwing of the garter.

Tori had a gleam in her eye as she stepped behind Blake and wheeled him over to Hunter. Hunter took his younger brother and went to the stage.

"No, Hunter, c'mon bro," Blake playfully pleaded as they reached their destination. Connor, Ethan, Shane, Dustin, Cam, Trent, and Tommy were there along with a few other guests as Anton took the garter off of Ella leg, causing a few choice comments and catcalls to fill the air.

Anton grinned and turned his back to the crowd. With a quick flip of the wrist he tossed the lacey material into the air… it landed on Blake's lap.

The guys immediately gathered around him with words of encouragement and light taunting. Blake grinned and before he could retort, the DJ got on the mic, informing everyone that the New Year countdown had begun.

The crowd disbursed and prepared to ring in the New Year. Blake rolled over to Tori.

"Let's go outside," he said softly. Tori smiled and followed him out to a small balcony.

The stars were bright above them and the soft glow of the party inside set a very romantic scene. Tori still held the small bouquet in her hand and smiled when she saw Blake holding the garter.

"You think it's a sign?" she said as she giggled a bit. Blake couldn't have asked for a better segway.

"I do," he said softly.

Tori looked at him and saw him backing away from her slowly. "What… what are you doing?" she asked.

Blake grinned and put his hands on the armrests of his chair. Carefully, he pushed himself up and stood. Tori had tears pricking her eyes as he took a small step forward… then another… and another, until he was standing in front of her.

"Oh my…" she said softly as the tears fell. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Blake took her hands in his. "Because," he said as he slowly bent down to one knee. "I wanted a nice buildup for this." He reached into his pocket and extracted blue cloth. He released her hand for a moment and unfurled the fabric, revealing a ring.

He took it in one hand and held Tori's hand with the other. Tori was at a loss for words as she looked at the beautiful diamond ring set in white gold. Two small baguette sapphires flanked it and the gems shone in the moonlight.

"Tori, through everything you were there for me, even when I tried to push you away. I never would have gotten through anything that's happened over the past few years without you by me. I love you more than anything in this world and I want you at my side for the rest of my life… will you marry me?"

Tori felt the ring on her finger and finally found her voice. "Yes," she said as her smile lit up her entire face. She helped Blake to stand and he held her in his arms for the first time in what seemed like an eternity.

They pulled away and kissed each other with all the love and passion they possessed. "I love you," Blake whispered into her hair as they held each other. "Happy New Year."

"I think every year from now on will be a happy one," she said as they joined their lips again, smiling.
