(A/N: just to clarify the so there is no confusion the words that is centered is the song that is playing in the background. to answer a question I was asked: Michael is a ranger)

As Michael entered ranger head quarters he saw that Angela wasn't there yet. He walked over to his desk and put the ring box out of sight so Angela would not see it until he was ready to give it to her, he also got the CD player on his computer ready to play a song that was on the radio the night he and Angela went on their first official date when Angela got her driver's license.

When Angela got to work that morning she went to her desk to finish the work she had been doing on the computer. Yesterday Walker gave her the assignment to track down Jack Gains, a notorious drug dealer working the streets in east Fort Worth. She had almost finished her work when Michael started the CD and threw a small paper wad that landed on Angela's desk.

Michael and Angela had set up a messaging system when they were in high school and in the same study hall class, when the teacher's back was turned they would throw a paper wad at each other and on the paper would be a note. Angela could not count the number of dates Michael asked her out on through this system.

Wishing on a shooting star
But dreams alone won't get you far
Can't deny your feelings anymore
The world is waiting right outside your door
What are you waiting for?

Come on, here's your chance
Don't let it slip right through your hands
Are you ready for the ride of your life?
Your dreams are riding on the wind
Just reach out and pull them in and Get ready for the ride of your life
The ride of your life

Angela unfolded the piece of paper to read what Michael had written:

"Do you love me?"

In your heart, you know what must do
You've only got yourself to answer to
Don't let fear of fallen hold you down
Your spirit's flying high above the clouds
You're glory bound

Come on here's your chance
Don't let it slip right through your hands
Are you ready, for the ride of your life

Angela took out her pen and wrote:

"Yes"

In your heart, you know what must do
You've only got yourself to answer to
Don't let fear of fallen hold you down
Your spirit's flying high above the clouds
You're glory bound

Come on here's your chance
Don't let it slip right through your hands
Are you ready, for the ride of your life
Your dreams are riding on the wind
Just reach out and pull them in and Get ready for the ride of your life

And tossed the paper wad back to him, after reading what she wrote, Michael wrote:

"Will you do something for me then?

And tossed it back to Angela, which she replied:

"Anything"

You are on your way no looking back
There's no future living in the past
You're free at last yeah
You're free at last

Michael sent the question he really wanted answered:

"Will you merry me?"

Come on here's your chance
Don't let it slip right through your hands
Are you ready for the ride of your life yea Your dreams are riding on the wind
Just reach out and pull them in and Get ready for the ride of your life
Ride of your life

Angela looked up to see Michael looking just like his father with his All-American smile; he got up and walked over to her desk.

"Are you sure?" was the first thing that Angela was able to say.

"Yes I'm positive." Michael gets down on one knee, "at the risk of being rejected twice. Angela Walker, will you merry me?"

"Yes!" Angela said as Michael spinned her around in his arms, causing the entire office to start applauding and cheering. When Michael gave Angela the ring the inscription inside said

"Ride of our life. Forever love"

Come on, come on get ready
Yea, yea, yea
Your dreams are riding on the wind
Just reach out and pull them in
Get ready for the ride of your life
