Ashley: Thank you so much for reviewing! I'm updating now because no one else seems to want to review. Sorry it took me so long!
Ch. 3:
Stanton re-materialized Serena and himself on the beach. The moon was full and shining brightly above them. He walked her over to where a blanket was set up with pillows and a picnic basket.
Serena looked at him with confusion in her eyes as she sat down on the blanket. "Stanton, what's all this for?" she asked him.
He grinned at her, "Nothing really. I just wanted you to be happy, and know how you love to be out at night, under the moon, and I know you love to be near the beach, so I thought I'd bring you here."
"That's incredibly sweet, but why are you being so nice today? You danced with me, sang to me, brought me to a Lakers game, with wonderful seats, I might add, and now you've brought me to the beach at night. Why?" Serena asked him, laying down on the pillow behind her.
Stanton pulled her closer to him, "Because, I wanted you to have the perfect day. I would've gone to get you sooner, but getting Lakers tickets and setting all of this up takes longer than you would think!"
Serena smiled and rested her head on his chest, staring up at the moon above them. "Thank you," she whispered to him. He responded by simply wrapping his arms tighter around her waist.
"Oh! Here," Stanton said, remembering he Lakers bear he had gotten her earlier. Serena's face broke into a gigantic grin as she clutched the bear to her.
"I'll name it 'Perfect Night'," she told him. He smiled down at her and kissed her forehead sweetly. He sat up and Serena glared at him comically. He laughed and reached for the picnic basket. She sat up as well as he brought out two slices of chocolate cake. She smiled slightly. Chocolate cake was her absolute favorite! She had no idea how he knew though, and frankly, she didn't care! He did, and that was enough for her.
"Close your eyes," Stanton told her after they had both finished their cake.
"Do I have to?" Serena whined. He just smiled and said yes, she did. So she closed her eyes and attempted to peak.
No peaking! Stanton said in her mind. She cursed him and heard him chuckle lightly. "Okay, you can open your eyes now," Stanton said after a few minutes. The sight she saw took her breath away.
Stanton was kneeling on one knee in front of her, with a box holding a ring, open in front of him. "Serena, I love you. Will you marry me?" Stanton asked her hopefully. She smiled and nodded excitedly. He slipped the ring onto her finger and stood up. Serena looked down at the ring and saw that it was Diamonds and Emeralds in the shape of a crescent moon. She smiled up at him and he kissed her. They sank down onto the blanket and watched the moon moving across the sky, listening to the sound of waves, kissing occasionally, for the rest of the night. Serena fell asleep at around 3 in the morning. She woke up to the sun rising and looked up to see Stanton watching her.
"Thanks for the perfect day, fiancé," she said, half serious, half teasing. He just smiled and de-materialized them both into shadow to take her home.
Well, there you go! That's the story! If you want another few chapters, or a sequel (which is more likely) you have to review! And tell me if you think if should do a sequel or just leave it be. Please review! Thanks!
