Chapter 13- The Proposal

Beastfire: Here's the final chapter. How will the proposal go? Find out in this chapter! Enjoy!

Frus was his and Ivy's room, preparing. The rest of the monkeys, as well as Chiro, could be expected basically any soon. Suddenly, he heard the door close and a bright light directly on him. Ivy was hovering by the door, not looking very pleased at all.

Aria, meanwhile, was sitting by the triplets and Otto. She knew that she couldn't go back to Tserof-

7, as they still blamed her for the wildfires. She didn't know if she could stay in the Super Robot with her family. Otto could read that in Aria's face.

"You can stay if you want," he told her.

She hugged him. "Thank you."

"Yay, grandma's gonna live with us!" the triplets cheered.

Back with Frus, he was literally being backed into a corner.

"Confess," Ivy growled.

"C-confess what?" Frus asked nervously.

"Don't lie to me, Frus! I know you're hiding something from me!"

He couldn't formulate a good argument.

"So, who is she?" Ivy asked. "Some 'exotic dancer'? A blonde bimbo? Tell me!"

Frus heard the sounds of the others returning and ran out to them. Ivy chased after him. Nova and Sprx were still arguing as much as ever, Antauri had bought for himself a pair of sound-proof earmuffs, and Gibson looked positively lovesick and had a marking on his face that looked suspiciously like he'd been kissed, as did Chiro. Senya and Jinmay were next to Gibson and Chiro. Ivy jumped on Frus and pinned him to the floor.

"FRUS, I DEMAND THAT YOU SPILL…NOW!" Ivy yelled.

"Well, now that everyone's here," Frus began, flipping Ivy into a chair and getting up, "I can."

She sat up in the chair and saw him take the box containing the ring out of a hiding place.

"Ivy, we've been through so much together, so just hear me out. I had no clue what you were like when I met you. Ygrene said that you appeared to be my type. Was he right! I found that out over time. And although we've both had our close calls, like with you when Otto was turned evil and with me when you were pregnant with the boys. We've pulled through it all, though. I guess what I'm trying to say is…"

The mongoose dropped to one knee. He held the box between himself and Ivy, then opened it.

"Ivy, will you marry me?"

She was speechless, which for her was quite rare. Ivy was looking at the ring, eyes wide and sparkly. Frus noticed.

"I made that for you myself…out of actual silver. That's why I pretty much avoided you for that whole week. It took a lot of energy and really tired me out. Ygrene was able to find the diamond I put in the middle."

"That's really a diamond?" Ivy asked, amazed.

Frus nodded and Ivy jumped on him, giving him a massive hug. She was yelling happily in Italian, which Frus took to be a yes. She was laughing at the mistake she'd made in thinking Frus would cheat on her. Frus took out the ring and slid it on Ivy's finger. It fit perfectly. Everyone else was staring at them, watching intently. There was a collective "Aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…" from them. Frus and Ivy just grinned.

Beastfire: That's the final chapter. Hope you enjoyed it and the whole story. In the next story is the wedding. Please review!

Ivy: So THAT'S what he was hiding from me! (kisses Frus)

Frus: (kisses right back)

Triplets: Why are mommy and daddy eating each other's faces?

Beastfire: (sweatdrop) You'll learn when you're older…
